But I have seen Olbermann. To compare him to Rush or Beck is ludicrous. Even at Olbermann's peak rants about Bush, he never claimed he wasn't legitimately president or called for a coup.

I don't know that Rush or Beck ever called for a "coup" in a serious context (it is common for you whackjobs to misrepresent statements made sarcastically or in other non-serious contexts as though they were serious statements). If you have any evidence of this I'd like to see it.

But I do know that Olbermann has called, seriously, for the prosecution of Bush for war crimes and even made references to Nazism in this context.

Olbermann has blamed Bush and Cheney for the deaths of 3,000 people on September 11. Olbermann has, on-air, referred to Bush as a fascist (which suggests he, like many other liberals, doesn't know what the term means, since he has failed to make the same reference about Obama, who is far closer to being one).

Beck is as middle-of-the-road as a person can get, politically -- but he does say some off the wall shit sometimes. Limbaugh is an entertainer, but is mostly correct and exceptionally competent. Olbermann is a leftwing nutjob -- like you -- who is detached from reality and really has no real skills as far as I can see. I can name a half dozen people posting on this thread who could out argue him.
