B&C reports that the First Amendment Advisory Council of the Media Institute has issued an open letter to MSNBC's Keith Olbermann asking him to apologize to one of its members, Floyd Abrams, for comments made on a January broadcast:
"Floyd Abrams is the foremost First Amendment advocate of our time. He also is Jewish. For any Jew to be compared to a Nazi collaborator is vile, but in the case of Floyd is simply beyond comprehension," they wrote. "But your offhanded inclusion of this ugly epithet points to a deeper problem that has degraded public discourse -- the breakdown of civility...." Not mentioned in the letter (which can be read here) or in the B&C article is the fact that Floyd Abrams' son is Dan Abrams, NBC Chief Legal Analyst, former MSNBC general manager, and founder of Mediaite.com. Olbermann has criticized Abrams and Mediaite in the past.
Well pick your day and he owes someone an apology!
Olbermann’s come back?
“For any Jew to be compared to a Nazi collaborator is vile...”

A-OK though when it comes to a Christian, though?
As in BusHitler...
They just noticed that Olbermann has degraded the public discourse?
I would say he needs to go back to calling sporting events, but I wouldn't want anyone that stupid giving me my baseball commentary.
How bad do the rating have to get before they send this idiot packing?

It matters not the religion, Jew, Christian, Islam, Hindu, or whatever, there is always someone willing to betray his comrades for the opportunity to live just one more miserable day. A truly sad commentary on mankind...

Why does the name George Soros keep running through my head?
Soros is lower than a Sonderkommando. He sent Jews to the camps while pretending not to be one of them. Before he goes to Hell, I hope he meets Moses, who’s staff will turn into a Cobra and shoves it up.....
They seem completely oblivious to the fact that there is not a single major broadcaster on the conservative side who comes even close to Olbermann in terms of vile loony nutiness.
KO’s parents owe us all an apology.
As does ESPN for putting him in front of a camera.
The fact is they agree with the idiot!!!
Is there anybody Olbie hasn’t alienated? He even gets in pissing matches with his fellow lefties. Even when he’s ditching his own show, he’s off getting in a fight with some ESPN guy, and then claiming ESPN management is supporting him and thanking him for trashing their employee. ESPN had to step in and say Queef was lying. Considering the fact that Olbie isn’t allowed on ESPN property since they fired him, claiming he has ESPN’s support is a pretty obvious lie, even for Queef.
