A.W.R. Hawkins takes on Keith Olbermann at Human Events today.
When it comes to unabashed political vitriol, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, host of “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” is without peer.
In the past few months alone, he referred to Sarah Palin as “a clear and present danger to the safety and security of this nation,” said Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly “voluntarily [associates] himself with and [encourages]” people who kill abortion providers, accused former Vice President Dick Cheney of doing “the primary job of a terrorist” by criticizing President Obama, and called Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) a “bald faced liar” when Thune pointed out the dangers of Obamacare.
Ironically, Olbermann has not admitted that he has been doing “the primary job of a terrorist” although he spent 2008 criticizing President George W. Bush for allegedly “allowing the 9/11 attacks to occur” and accused Bush of using “murderous deceit” to justify sending “4,000 Americans to their death [in the Iraq War] for nothing!”

Olbermann is doing the primary job of a sociopath

Standard-bearer for grouchy curmudgeonry since, oh, 1975 or so.
Good points by A.R.
bnb614 Wednesday, September 2nd at 10:52AM EST (link)Everyone knows Olbermann is a classless hack who parrots DailyKaos talking points.
Not to nitpick though, but he wrote:
“When I indicated that Olbermann had done so during a Buffalo Bills game in the 2008 season by mocking Republican V.P. candidate Sarah Palin’s tongue and cheek “I can see Russia from my house [in Alaska]” statement,”
Sarah Palin never said “I can see Russia from my house.” That was said by Tina Fey on SNL.
Gov. Palin did describe how you can see Russia from parts of Alaska and it gave her the perspective of how small the world really is and the need for relationships with allies, etc.
