You don't feel uncomfortable listening to KO, even without considering his political position?
His joyful vehemence in destroying people does not reflect a healthy human condition. Additionally it repels anyone who might want to consider his perspective to weigh against information from other sources.
Political commentary cannot justify KO's presence on a major media program. He is a human trainwreck in need of our prayers.

Still waiting for the list of lies he's told................
If you can't figure out lies of ommision, a favorite tactic of this clown, that is your problem. After all, the best lies contain a grain of truth and the elimination of the rest of the story.
I tried to watch him again last night, thinking that I may have been to harsh in my opinion of him. I wasn't. He is indeed the type that gives used car and insurance salespeople a bad name.
One comment that I saw in this thread I have to agree with. His show is not a "news" program, it is an opinion program. To bad so many people share his opinions and believe them to verified facts.

Examples of Olbermann's lies of omission?
"verified facts" -- his show is all about verified facts! ABSURD verified facts!
Olbermann is not a liar. He is a selective truth-teller and opinion-maker, like Hannity. He ignores all stories except those which tend to cast conservatives or Republicans in a negative light, and engages in hyperbole and exaggeration to manipulate those who share his political views (most of whom, ironically, consider themselves "progressives" or "independent thinkers").
Rather than a liar, one might more accurately describe Olbermann as a near-hysterical Democratic party shill, just as Hannity predictably panders to the GOP. No difference, really, except for the blue/red demographic...
Personally, I prefer Hannity's smirky smarminess to Olbermann's outright incitements to hatred and malevolence. But it's merely a question of personal rhetorical preference. Both men apparently inspire their followers, which when you think about it, is a pretty grotesque commentary on the state of current political and social mores....

The main difference I see between KO and Hannity is that KO is cowardly, diabolical and malignant. Hannity simply is not a very good commentator! But at least he is passionate about his beliefs and one of the few with the courage to be out on the frontline for conservatives.

Courage? That's right, a war-mongering chickenhawk who had "other priorities" when he had the opportunity to serve is courageous. And let's not forget how he offered himself to be waterboarded for charity but courageously backed out when it got to be time to fish or cut bait.

Yeah, Sean's a real hero
Careful about the "opportunity to serve" type comment. Did our current president serve when he had the opportunity?
