Utterly ridiculous

Really? Go ahead, prove it wrong. Prove that Olbermann lied frequently. Compare how many entries Beck has at Politifact to Olbermann.

Riot there is no need to prove anything. I have eyes and ears. The thing that bleeding hearts like yourself do all the time is comparison shopping with your views. Therefore, a discussion of Obama comes with the caveat, he's better than Bush...and a discussion of Olbermann, well you have to bring in Beck....Point is, stay on topic, you'll do better that way.

You have eyes and ears, but they are misleading you badly based upon your preassumptions. The right loves to diss Olbermann as the lefty Beck, and there's nothing at all wrong with my pointing that out. Even if you don't like that, and have to insult me to distract from it.

I in no way insulted you. There is no need to.

You couldn't keep the conversation to Olbermann, and/or Beck, and the merits of those; you had to go personal and go off on "bleeding hearts". Let's take all your personal references to me and "bleeding hearts" out of your post and see what's left:

Not much.

Let's put it this way: I didn't watch Olbermann much unless he made the news, but I think the loss of Glenn Beck from TV would be a far greater cause for celebration.

possibly because nothing that olbermann says is noteworthy??
