Bring Olbermann back now

[PBass]

1. I don't think I can support Olbermann, when I didn't support Juan Williams

The rules are the rules. Don't break the rules.

I'm sorry.

2. What?

Juan Williams made of the cuff xenophobic remarks about how Muslims scare him when he's on a plane on national television. As if it was somehow ok to be uncomfortable around all Muslims..

Keith Olbermann gave private money to 3 political campaigns, without ever national endorsing or supporting those he gave to.


Do you really think they are anyway the same ethical issue?

3. One of the very best progressive voices and you're willing to sweep him away like that? Wow.

4. Big difference between racist remarks and exercising our right to

participate in elections.

5. Not really

Both violated their contracts and the rules of their employer's.

6. Not really.

8. If your link is correct, then Olbermann should be reinstated

and I expect that will happen.
