the donations he got suspended for
If Olbermann considered himself a socialist, he would readily claim that label.

Agreed I stopped watching his show a long time ago. I simply got tired of him whining all the damn time.

Same here. I lean left, but I've nixed Schultz, Olbermann, and Maddow out of my life. Too divisive, and too one-sided.

America has no left wing! Dems are right wing. Repubs- VERY right wing. Both are just the puppets of big business!

His over the top rhetoric sure sounds familiar.

Actually, I think he is describing the Left's agenda, at least that's what a majority of Americans who went to the polls thought on Nov 2.

Eyeblast.tv

Actually, he should be fired.

Too bad he doesn't have much of a viewership - I think its always a good, good thing to see just how far the Left will go.


The leftist agenda is like an overpriced used car no one wants to buy. They polish it up every decade or so, but it always breaks down on the test drive. Now we have to listen to them tell us how reliable it has been in the past and that we don't realize the great deal we're passing up.

We conservatives rarely call for the firing of someone for speech that we find offensive.

I hope he stays on both radio and TV forever.

He shows the true mean spirited attitude of liberal/progressives.

That is the main reason that MSNBC has such low viewership.

What I find more offensive is his glee over Glenn Beck losing major radio stations.

It shows a lack of class.

But then again, he is not known for having class.

Wow. I guess when you are standing on the extreme left, EVERYTHING is right of you.

MSNBC is simply a far left, marxist propaganda unit. EVERY "news" issue is presented from a far left editorial standpoint. But I guess to parphrase Simon and Garfunkel..................... "a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest........"
