      I think ALL of these over paid talking heads need to be hit in the face with a big flaming bag of shit. Now that would be great television and I might even tune in for it.

Olbermann does not "blame Republicans for Tucson shooting" in the clip, he instead calls for a reasoned acceptance for responsible behavior of both political parties. At no point does he single out the entire Tea Party or the entire Republican Party for what took place in Arizona, yet in fact takes to task those that happen to use jargon composed of violent imagery that could be interpreted as a call to violence, including the media, and in particular, Olbermann himself. And that makes him a dumbass?
          The guy flys off the with rants that are just that, rants ,with little or no basis in fact. That's his MO. So yes. That makes him a dumb ass. I think they guy got caught up in his line of bull shit and got lost in it. He hates Republicans so bad he would say anything even it were a complete lie in order to get HIS message across.

                But chef. There is no evidence that politics had enything to do with this nut case. In fact the evidence points the other way.

                  I agree, he most certainly does at times. But not in the clip the author included in the article you linked.

                        Olbermans's style has always been to make fun of people and tear them down.. He did this when he was a local sports reporter.

                            Olberman has always been a cocky, look how clever I am type of broadcaster. He hunts for train wrecks, shows them to us, and makes fun of the situation and if he doesn't like the person, he rubs some salt into the wounds.

                              I guess you are saying it could provoke a tragedy. I guess so. Hell anything could provoke one. I think the Victoria Secret commercials are more likely to provoke a tragedy that a few poiliticians running there mouths.

                                Right. And people blow up abortion clinics or Russian airports not because they have heard of and believe in some sort of rhetoric or ideology, but because its a way to kill a pleasant afternoon.

                                Leave me alone, ELVIS. I'm trying to get dinner out.
