Before showing a taped interview with RNC Chairman Michael Steele, O’Donnell caused controversy over his intro to the interview which was considered racially insensitive. He said, “Michael Steele is dancing as fast as he can, trying to charm independent voters and Tea Partiers while never losing sight of his real master and paycheck provider, the Republican National Committee.” After drawing criticism from Steele and talk-radio host Larry Elder, O’Donnell apologized for his remarks.[20][21][22]

O’Donnell also drew criticism during an interview with Congressman Ron Paul, when Paul accused him of breaking an agreement not to ask him about other political candidates.[23] O’Donnell said he was not part of any agreement, but an MSNBC spokeswoman stated, “We told Rep. Paul’s office that the focus would be on the tea party movement, not on specific candidates”.[24]

During an October 2011 interview, O’Donnell accused Republican primary candidate Herman Cain of sitting on the sidelines during the civil rights protests of the 1960s and also charged him with avoiding the draft during the Vietnam War. Conor Friedersdorf said the questions posed by O’Donnell were “offensive” and declared, “In this interview, O’Donnell goes to absurd lengths to use patriotism and jingoism as cudgels to attack his conservative guest, almost as if he is doing a Stephen Colbert style parody of the tactics he imagines a right-wing blowhard might employ. Does he realize he’s becoming what he claims to abhor?”[25] O’Donnell’s interview with Cain was later defended by Reverend Al Sharpton.[26]

In 2007 O’Donnell criticized Mitt Romney’s speech on religion stating that “Romney comes from a religion that was founded by a criminal who was anti-American, pro-slavery, and a rapist.”[27][28] In the April 3, 2012 broadcast of The Last Word, O’Donnell made comments regarding the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), saying it was an “invented religion,” which was “created by a guy in upstate New York in 1830 when he got caught having sex with the maid and explained to his wife that God told him to do it.”[29] During the April 11, 2012 broadcast of The Last Word, O’Donnell apologized for the April 3, 2012 comments, stating that his comments offended many, including some of the show’s most supportive fans.[30]

“Romney comes from a religion that was founded by a criminal who was anti-American, pro-slavery, and a rapist.” This guy thinks he is a SHOCK JOCK, he has no actual ability to PRODUCE Something in our Capitalistic Society,so he says STOOPID STUFF... I think that he has problems with his MOTHER, And he hated His Father, his ANIMA, (SOUL), is fighting his Animas, Animus is the archetype of reason and spirit in women. This is the male aspect of the female psyche, as the anima is the female aspect of male psyche.

This archetype is projected in various male images and characters like great artists, heroes, warriors, sportsmen, philosopher, and so forth. When identified with the animus (animus-inflated), women develop an excessive rational drive which may end up in excessive criticism and stubbornness.In other words, he has Psychological Problems..
