One of MSNBC's lone conservative hosts says one of his liberal colleagues on the cable network is behaving in a "reckless" and "pathetic" manner on the air.
MSNBC host Keith Olbermann unleashed a tirade Monday evening against Republican Scott Brown, who the next was elected to the Senate seat from Massachusetts that was held by the late Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy for 47 years. "In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees," stated Olbermann.
"In any other time in our history, this man would have been laughed off the stage as an unqualified and a disaster in the making by the most conservative of conservatives," he continued. "Instead, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is close to sending this bad joke to the Senate of the United States."
MSNBC colleague Joe Scarborough responded to Olbermann's tirade on Twitter, calling his comments "reckless and sad." On his Morning Joe program Tuesday, Scarborough called Olbermann's attack on Brown "sad and pathetic.
(Can you guess what would have happened if somebody on the right had made these kinds of comments after Obama, or Carter had been elected. MSNBC and most of their hosts are part of the radical left and are Democrats. MSNBC should be renamed the Obama network. Read more 'Pathetic'
