Keith Olbermann takes Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to task on the recent “fascism” comments Rumsfeld has been making, and he’s about as spot-on as one can get. I full agree that this issue “demands the deep analysis and the sober contemplation of every American.”

Elected officials at the top of the government of the United […]
