Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- MSNBC anchor and commentator should have stuck to his original career giving out the latest sports news and information. The left-wing media man is coming under fire for bashing pro-life advocates and their opposition to Barack Obama picking a former lawyer for Michael Schiavo for a high post.
As LifeNews.com has reported, Obama selected Thomas Perrelli, who is best known as the right-to-kill lawyer who represented Terri Schiavo's husband pro-bono in his suit to euthanize his wife.
In the Obama administration, Perrelli will occupy the third highest post in the Justice Department.
Tom McClusky of the Family Research Council, conducted media interviews outlining how Perrelli's appointment as associate attorney general was "detrimental" to the pro-life movement.
In the media world, however, Perrelli seems to have at least one staunch ally -- Olbermann.
Olbermann, host of MSNBC's "Countdown," highlighted McClusky's quote in a recent broadcast and named him "the worst person in the world" for criticizing Perrelli's nomination.
Tony Perkins, the president of FRC, defended his colleague.
"In my opinion, if you're on Olbermann's hit list, then you must be doing something right," he said.
"In a leadership position for the Justice Department, Perrelli's anti-life stance could be devastating. As the third in command, he is certain to play a key role in a number of cases, some of which could include end-of-life issues," Perkins added.
Bobby Schindler, Terri Schiavo's brother, has also weighed in in an email to LifeNews.com.
"News media bias promoting the killing of the severely disabled like Terri is well known, but it's not often that a media commentator so openly displays his vicious hatred of those who simply love life as Keith Olbermann did," he said.
Schindler took exception to Olbermann's claims that FRC and the pro-life movement was on the wrong side legally and morally.
"What is morally wrong about preventing someone from being dehydrated to death? What is legally wrong with protecting the life of someone who is innocent, not terminally ill, and who simply wants to live?" Schindler asked.
Schindler said that an "anti-life trend is taking shape in official Washington" because of the selections Obama is making.
Thanks to that d*ckhead, I didn’t watch the Sunday Night NFL games this year.
Thanks to d*ckheads like him, I don’t do business with General Electric.
LOL
We have become a nation of hardened hearts.
When the Christian world view is silenced or mocked, little by little the respect for human life diminishes.
One finds it mare and more difficult to ignore the steps President-Elect Obama is taking toward the wholesale adoption of a “culture of death.”
That murder was NOT euthanasia!
Those who hated Terri and wanted her killed got the president they wanted. One of the creepiest aspects of it is that some of Obama’s disciples are registered and posting here.
Olbermann is on the fringe left. I guess that’s why he’s so popular over at the DUmp.
I understand your concern about Obama’s citizenship and I agree with you; however, this thread has NOTHING to do with this issue and your post is SPAM.
The reality is that, barring some incredible turn of events, Obama WILL be inaugurated in five days and when that happens he WILL institute the most radical anti-life agenda in history and this is what concerns me more than anything.
There are plenty of threads dealing with Obama’s citizenship, this IS NOT one of them.

This is mirse. Sorry. I should have chosen a different thread to talk about Obama's Hawaii birth hospital issue: Was he born at Queens or at Kapiolana hospital? Obama says both.
It’s no big deal, but it doesn’t serve any real purpose to make posts on a thread that are completely unrelated to the topic.

This is mirse. Catholic educated from elementary through college.
Yes, Obama's views on abortion scare me. As I understand it, Obama is pro-abortion. Am I correct, or do I misunderstand Obama's position on the explosive abortion issue?
For instance, is Obama for abortion at any time in the 9 months of pregnancy?
If Obama is truly for abortion at any time in the 9 months of pregnancy, then that is one major reason we must do everything in our power to make sure that this liar and fraud Obama serves only one four year term.
Remember, a one term president is a weak president, so a one term president Obama is a weak president Obama.
NOTE: Abortion is such a complex issue. I wish I had an answer for such a complex issue, but, sadly, I am as confused as the next person on what to do.
Still, it tears me up when I hear about abortions being done on fetuses during the later months of pregnancy such as the 7th, 8th, and 9th month of pregnancy.
So what is the answer to this explosive abortion issue? I wish I knew.
I have yet to understand the left and their bloodlust in wanting this helpless woman DEAD. Baffling.
Not only is Obama for abortion at ANY time during pregnancy (in fact he has stated that a baby is a "punishment"), Obama actually believes that a baby who has managed to survive an abortion and is born alive should be left to DIE.
