Did Keith Olbermann Target Sarah Palin for Assassination?
NewsReal Blog ^ | August 19, 2009 | David Forsmark

Keith Olbermann is worried about “violent” rhetoric, even if it’s in “code.” Unless it comes out of his own mouth, that is.

Last night, MSNBC blowhards Keith Olbermann and Ed Schultz yowled about Joe the Plumber’s blustering after a question about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in which Joe said that when he was a kid, people who lied and stole money usually got taken “behind the woodshed” and “slapped upside the head.”

Shultz called it “dangerous psycho talk,” and said it was particularly bad at a time when “hate speech is on the rise.”

Olbermann, similarly horrified, brought up Timothy McVeigh and wondered whether it had ever occurred to Joe that this was “an endorsement of violence.”

Of course, both have been crying wolf about the violent tendencies of town hall protesters for weeks, enough to link to hours of video here. However, there is no proof that either was troubled by actual riots on the Left by anti-WTO protesters who trashed several cities in the past decade. Tut tut, they let their idealism get the better of them, yadda yadda.

This is exactly why Sarah travels around with 7 guards and she cannot go jogging unless she is being followed by Todd and others to make sure she is Ok. I’d imagine she has received death threats. Keith Olbermann is a vile, disgusting roach, just look at him, he belongs in the nut house and it says a lot about MSDNC for allowing him to still be on the air

“hate speech is on the rise.”
so now they’re calling it hate speech when normal people go to tea parties or town meetings and ask questions.

Olbermann is either deriding some conservative for some imaginary death threat, or making some threat against conservatives himself.

Has anybody else noticed how much Olbermann has aged in the last year or so? I guess being bat-shit crazy really takes it out of you. He looks ill physically as well as mentally.
