MSNBC's Keith Olbermann

Apparently Keith Olbermann doesn’t like GOP Massachusetts U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown very much. Here’s what he said about Brown in a last-minute comment on MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olberman:

“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…The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is close to sending this bad joke to the Senate of the United States.”

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough was quick to respond to Olbermann’s meltdown with this post on Twitter:

“Olbermann calls Brown a “homophobic racist reactionary” who “supports violence against women.” How reckless and how sad. It is no longer enough to simply disagree with someone. These days some feel the need to call opponents evil. It happens on both extremes.”

Also, on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Scarborough said, “A certain person on this network, whose name will not be mentioned, went on a tirade the likes of which are sad and pathetic.”

Unfortunately for Keith Olbermann, very few people – including his colleagues, seem to find him credible or entertaining. Maybe his sinking ratings are getting the best of him.
