    I spoke a little about this in one of the various Prop 8 threads floating around, but now I actually found the video of his six-minute-long speech on why Proposition 8 and its passing are so deeply morally flawed. As promised, the video:

    Even Ellen and Rachel Maddow haven't spoken this much and this emotionally about Prop 8.

    Wow, quite eloquent, persuasive, and moving indeed. Olbermann hit all the main points and demolished the arguments against gay marriage in such a rational, levelheaded way!

    Way to go! :thumbsup:

    I love how he came out and said that he had no personal stake on the issue and yet he's still outraged by the vote. It was an amazing speech.

    That was so beautiful. Such an amazing speech. I've never been so choked up by a speech before.

    His point about "redefining marriage" was excellent. I don't like him (even a leftist like me), but that segment was really great.
