A Presstitute scumbag named Lloyd Grove writes in that bastion of journalism, NY Daily News today that:
He was forced to apologize yesterday after more of his E-mails found their way to my inbox and exposed the host of MSNBC's "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" as insulting and frequently obscene in an acrimonious exchange with two viewers who taunted him.
Olbermann's antagonists, who asked not to be named, repeatedly claimed in their June 8 E-mails that dead Al Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was Olbermann's "hero," prompting the television star to advise: "Hey, save the oxygen for somebody whose brain can use it. Kill yourself."
After I forwarded that and other E-mails to an MSNBC exec, Olbermann wrote: "I apologize to anyone who might take offense at my part of this correspondence. It goes without saying that I should not have replied to these abusive and hateful E-mails, but I wonder how many of us could receive literally hundreds of them questioning our patriotism, religion and ethnic origin, without succumbing to the natural wish to confront such hate?"
Doesn't matter that many people are requesting that these hatemongers kill themselves.
AdAge magazine has suggested to Ann Coulter that she kill herself:
Would it kill you, "Godless" author Ann Coulter, to do us all a favor and kill yourself? (Oh, well, yeah, I guess it would kill you.)
After her recent rabidly hateful, foaming-at-the-mouth, sub-human "Today" show appearance -- in which she reiterated her assertion that 9/11 widows are "enjoying their husband's deaths" -- even her former supporters began to fantasize about how much nicer the world would be if it were Coulterless.
Of course, AdAge isn't a person at whom the right-wing can direct their hatred. AdAge doesn't have the only truthful news show in the mainstream media.
But Keith O.? He's free game.

I think we should see how he responds to a similar onslaught.
If he wants war, I say we give it to him.
After all, he seems to admire O'Reilly very much:
Here are some examples of Olbermann "confronting hate":
* "Given how far you are from knowing your a- from your elbow about my industry, you couldn't be stupider, wronger, or dumber ..."
* "Go - your mother."
* "You 'Americans' still watching that evil f- O'Reilly?"
Apparently, they are. Fox News' Bill O'Reilly draws six times the viewership of his 8 p.m. weekday rival.
Keith Olbermann is one of us. We need to get his back.
