‘Humor writer’ names Olbermann a ‘target’ after Giffords shooting

Humor writer names Olbermann a target after Giffords shootingA self-described humorist named a liberal cable news host a "target" on her blog the day after he denounced incendiary political rhetoric in response to an Arizona shooting that claimed the lives of six people, including a federal judge, a congressperson's aide, and a child.

Andrea Rouda's post entitled “Speaking of Target Practice” listed several historical figures who were murdered "by a crazy person" before naming MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, whom she referred to as "the Devil."

"What a waste, especially since there are so many good targets out still out there," she wrote. "Take Keith Olbermann."

.............................

"Please, won’t somebody stop him?" Rouda concluded.

8. They believe calling it "humor" somehow makes it OK.
In actuality, they are just as sick as Limbaugh, Beck, Palin and the rest of the the right wing hate-mongers.

20. They call it 'humor'
so when the fbi comes knocking at their door, it's then: 'Oh, I was just kidding, you took that seriously?'

5. "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
Sounds like the ghost of Thomas Becket has risen from the underworld to haunt us all.

9. Or perhaps Henry II and his "helpful" subjects.
It's Becket who got the raw end of the deal.

13. She took it down already - check out what she posted in place....
All those people who were so afraid I had made a "death threat" to their Lord and Master Keith Olbermann might find it interesting to learn that I have since received countless death threats from Democrats; apparently not all of them are hoping for an end to the political vitriol sweeping our nation.

She sounds like one seriously disturbed right wing asshole.

14. HA, HA, HA! That's funny! Like the humor of Andrea Rouda being gang raped...hilarious.
What the hell is wrong with these people? Are they just sociopaths?

15. "Is there no one who will rid me of this turbulent priest?"
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 07:50 PM by SemperEadem
Henry II Plantagenet allegedly thought aloud..

then 3 knights who had overheard him, rode to Canterbury Cathedral and murdered Thomas Beckett, Archbishop of Canterbury in the door outside the cloisters right before evening vespers.

Henry regretted the murder for the rest of his days.

17. I'm Telling You... this is Deliberate
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 08:42 PM by fascisthunter
it's already out of hand and people are debating. Well, I just hope people finish before more innocent people have to die, just because they have a different political point of view. I never thought I would see so much hatred towards one political group by another here... I could imagine it happening only after reading about Nazi Germany. Rwanda is a perfect example of how a media can be used as a weapon to physically harm a political opposition. THIS is also how the Nazis took control of Germany... only fools can not or will not see the parallels.

18. K&R
"As I look out the window, I see a very beautiful planet that seems very inviting and peaceful, unfortunately, it is not. These days, we are constantly reminded of the unspeakable acts of violence and damage we can inflict upon one another, not just with our actions, but also with our irresponsible words. We're better than this. We must do better."

~ Commander Scott Kelly, Brother-in-law to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords from the International Space Station


- One way is to stop giving ink to people like this mentally-ill woman......

19. KO is a voice of reason at a time like this...
So, of course, the Freepers and Teabaggers would try to pin something on him. Typical. I'm sure NBC will take necessary precautions.
