A COMMENT FROM KEITH OLBERMANN ON PROPOSITION 8
Keith Olbermann is, by far, one of the most articulate, intelligent and straight forward journalists working in America today. I've featured his video comments on this blog before and, true to form, his take on the passage of proposition 8 is a very powerful rebuke of those who voted for this discriminatory, church-backed proposition. I want to make sure that as many people as possible see and hear this because this fight is not even close to over.
We've been fighting for simple, basic rights and equal treatment under the law for a very long time and we're certainly not going to fold up our tent and go away now.
