OMG! You guys have all accused Olbermann of hate speech. I cannot find any evidence that anything Olbermann has ever said on TV influenced anyone to take any violent actions. Can you find that evidence which connects Olbermann to such violent actions as shoot out with cops?
No, not evidence in the two cases in terms of court. Evidence in terms of credible reports that the shooters had in fact been watching Glenn Beck and that they both were believers in conspiracy theories, including some of those put forth by Beck.
Can you find anyone who has committed violent acts who were avid Olbermann fans and decided to attack someone because of anything they had seen on Olbermann's show? For example, have you heard of anyone attempting or planning to attack the Arizona governor because Olbermann talked about the governor of AZ cutting funding for the medicaid program which paid for organ transplants,therefore, there were approximately 100 people in Arizona who would die without the transplants?
And, finally, WHY do you think Olbermann's show Countdown ended so abruptly?
Not admitted into evidence at court means It is NOT not evidence. It's INNUENDO. Someones opinion. Nothing more.
So I gather the AZ governor now killed 100 people by proxy?
Wow, take two chill pills, PLEASE.
I think you're projecting. Maybe you should take a chill pill. Typing is very, very easy for me. Takes no effort to post. I'm fine. I'm not even slightly angry about this..........I'm just answering posts.
When people ask for evidence on this site, it seems obvious that they are asking for links to sources....which is what I produced. Do you work in the court system? Is that what prompted the comment? Keep in mind that there is also the "court" of public opinion, there is evidence produced by investigative journalists for articles and programs on TV, there is evidence discovered by investigators, etc. Evidence which is admitted in a trial in court is evidence which complies with court rules. Court rules are not the standard for evidence in public discourse.
Well, as for the AZ governor, some people think that she is doing exactly that. Out of the 100 people, two people have died so far because they couldn't get the transplants they need. This is a very hot issue in AZ. The legislature was looking for a resolultion of this problem which the governor claims is a "budget problem".......Keith Olbermann had several different people on his show who were being denied funding for the organ transplants, as well as their families. He introduced these people on several of his shows and was helping to try to raise money for them to pay for the surgeries individually.
Do you have any information which indicates that ANYONE or ANY GROUP took any violent action, or planned any violent action, AGAINST MALKIN because of what Olbermann said about her?
Seems that in fact the school teacher whom Malkin attacked did receive death threats as a result of Milkin's involvement......but, you see, those were death threats from people who were/are Malkin fans, threatening the person Malkin talked/wrote about.

Ohhh, so that's the new criteria. As long as no one physically attacks a target of Keith, what he says is perfectly fine.
Just as I thought - not even footnote worthy. Life goes on without his brand of hateful, vicious politics and no one even cares anymore.
Dobie has a new hero:
Actually, O has learned how to use Olbermannism's.......
Olbermannism's:
1. Using 42 adjectives to describe a 'target' subject. Commonly used to fill in time on video presentations when the speaker has nothing constructive to contribute to the subject matter. Used by left leaning liberal talking heads in the 'news' and politics.
2. Vitriolic spew.
3. Nonsense.
4. Gone, thankfully

I do not work in the court system. But having had contact with it over the years, I do know that "the "court" of public opinion" is not allowed as admissible evidence.
