The Rise of Right Wing Hate
Since 9/11, the right wing hate talkers have stepped up their vitriolic attacks against anyone who doesn’t agree with them or doesn’t look like them. Through their demonization of liberals, Muslims, Hispanics, and gays, they’ve opened the door to a new era of intolerance and hate in this country. And with that hate has come an increasing number of politically-based murders - murders which are becoming so frequent this year, that we haven’t gone a solid month without some right wing nutjob pulling out a gun and killing people who didn’t agree with their beliefs.

There is hate on the left too. Olbermann goes too far sometimes in his criticism of the right. The problem isn’t with one side or the other, it’s that everyone is busy pointing fingers, trying to boost ratings by being more outrageous than the other, and have no interest in the general well being of Americans. They don’t care about solutions, they only care about ratings.
If everyone stopped paying attention to these morons on the left and the right, we might actually start having a real discussion about the direction our country.
I’m not saying Olbermann doesn’t get blindly passionate at times and, sure, he occassionally crosses the line of rational discourse… but to compare his ranting with that of the current vitriolic voices on the Right is like saying Wile E. Coyote is the rhetorical equivalent of Adolf Hitler.
