The Politics of Spite

Feel free to continue with your hit and run posts in your attempt merely to criticize me regardless of the topic, as opposed to contribute to the discussion.

You must not listen to Olbermann if you think Limbaugh is nastier than him. Olberman is as bad if not worse than Coulter.

And it's not a "hit and run" post. I was just calling you out for disparaging Republicans based on a couple of nitwit comments. While I may lean more to the right than you politically, I certainly don't criticize you "regardless of the topic". It's just spirited discussion as far as I'm concerned. You probably see things from both sides more than a lot of us in here. I'm much more likely to criticize Spence regardless of the topic because it's just fun to pick on him.

The most I've listened to Olberman is while flipping channels, him being on and continuing to flip.

Touche on your last sentence.

I completely disagree. While Olberman's rants can be acerbic and pompus, they are usually very well researched and thought out.

Coulter is instead nearly always focused on saying anything to get a rise out of people and beating the "liberals have a mental disorder" horse she's been milking for a decade.

Yeah, Olbermann's acerbic and pompous. And he definitely is smart. Probably almost 60% as smart as he thinks he is. As for researched and thought out, I'm not so sure. I doubt his racial slur during MNF wasn't part of his script. And making the guacamole comment about a Mexican American governor may have been funny to racists, but I don't think he meant to say it on the air. Now I'm pretty sure his Nazi salute while he holds up the Bill O'Reilly mask is intended. I'd put that in the same category as Coulters idiotic comments and schtick.
