>>I think Keith Olbermann is the champeen on that. I saw his program one time and vowed never to watch MSNBC again.<<

MM -

We have something in common. I watched him once and decided I didn't need to seem him again, too.

But while he traffics in outrage, I don't think Olbermann does quite the same thing Limbaugh does. Limbaugh searches the world for extreme, screwed up things that have been done or said by liberals, then uses those stories to create outrage and to encourage his listeners to believe that all Liberals are working hard to undermine the American way of life.

I have heard Rush more than I've seen Olbermann, though. I could be wrong. The one time I saw KO, he was going on about Hillary Clinton's allusion to assassination, acting as if she had committed the worst crime in American political history. He was way over the top, in my opinion, but he wasn't trying to tar an entire segment of the population with one brush.
