In the Rewrite Lawrence O'Donnell questions several claims made in a Washington Post story written by a law professor about the shooting death of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson.

It is quite interesting seeing this go back and forth, as this isn't the only time that O'Donnell has taken WaPo to task. I'm beginning to wonder about WaPo's progressive "creds" given this article that O'Donnell makes reference to, and the other one that he recently took them to task for.

Please watch the entire video before commenting.

Thanks.

Larry O’Donnell is a putz. No need to watch the video.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Never in the entire history of mankind has so much grief and wailing and hate and discussion been expended over the fate of such a piece of human debris. Enough already.

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Let each person decide that for them self.

I hear the same thing about WaPo and the New York Times too here (from time to time at FR) and some times here at FR people say what you say, and other times they love what what WaPo and the NY Times have to say...

[Laissez-faire capitalist]

Bill’ O’Reilly, Keith Ablow, Steve Doocey, Brian Kilmeade, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sean Hannity and several others (and others on the left side, too) seem to not be listening to you...

Shame there is no transcript. I don't use the 'net to watch TV.

[Zhang Fei]

This is a WaPo blog entry from a conservative blogger from the Volokh Conspiracy. The news coverage remains resolutely liberal, as is the editorial stance.

I tried to watch but I fell asleep listening to Lawrence.

[Vaquero]

Agreed I see where he’s going. I have no need to watch any more of doooosh odonnall , any more than I have to watch the doooosh resident of the white hut to know where he’s going. Eff U pmsnbc and you too Larry

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Well, every one of them probably outearns me by 75-200 times, and I don’t appear on any TV shows. So you can probably guess the result?

[Fightin Whitey]

I tried to watch but I fell asleep listening to Lawrence.

Don't ever do that with him in the room. You'll get Cosbyed.

[Personal Responsibility]

I’d argue the Trayvon Martin thing but at this point, it’s too close to call on which thug has been sainted and sensationalized more.

[Steely Tom]

The video is more than ten minutes long.

• Why does it take Mr. O'Donnell so long to make his point?
• Who has time to wade through all his bloviating?
• Gee he's gotten old in the last couple years. I would have thought having a fellow socialist in the White House would have given Mr. O'Donnell a shot in the arm, a new lease on life, a dip in the fountain of youth. Strange.

[amnestynone]

A minor contradiction about walking down the street but does not change anything really in the important part of the altercation. There were some bigger contradictions In the rest of the witness’s testimony however O’Donnell does not mention these.

[griswold3]

oh yeah, Mad Dog O’Donnell. Made a fool of himself during the interview with John O’Neil. (remember, ‘Liar, liar, liar) What a jerk

[arthurus]

Himself or Let all decide for themselves. There is no such word as “themself.” It is internally contradictory. As two words i.e. “them self,” it is ghetto.

[Always A Marine]

O’Donnell seems to be grasping at straws by latching onto Witness #10’s description of the distance from which he observed Michael Brown at the time of the shooting. Most people are poor judges of distances, and their first guesses are notoriously inaccurate. A thorough investigator might’ve asked where the witness was standing in order to accurately establish his vantage point, and we do not know if that was done or not. What is clear is that the grand jury, in its weighing of all the evidence, decided that Witness #10’s testimony was credible and corroborated by other credible testimony and physical evidence. The only problem is that the grand jury’s decision does not meet O’Donnell’s approval.

All I can remember about O’Donnell is

Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar

Paid no attention to the idiot since then
