Rich: Co-Panelists 'Pushed' O'Donnell Into Anti-Mormon Rant

The devil made Larry do it.

Don't blame Lawrence O'Donnell for his ugly anti-Mormon rant. It was really the fault of O'Donnell's fellow panelists. That's Frank Rich's take on the unseemly episode on the McLaughin Group a couple Fridays ago.

Rich claims in his NY Times column of today that O'Donnell was:

"pushed over the edge by his peers’ polite chatter about Mitt Romney’s sermon on 'Faith in America.'”

Frank Rich blames others for Larry O’Donnell’s rant. Ping to Today show list.

How come no one has beat this dudes butt at some point along the way? What a POS he is.

Kindly clarify to which dude you’re referring: Rich, O’Donnell or both? ;-)

HA HA HA, there ya go. It's never the fault of the guy spewing the crap.
Don't ya' just love the lib mindset? LMAO

[Diogenesis]

Saw the show, and NO ONE pushed him.

O’Donnell was on ‘autopilot’. This is a barometer of
what is coming if the GOP dates makes Romney-RINO a
playing in the upcoming election.

Mostly O'Donnell. There is something feminine as in unmanly about an outraged liberal. I would enjoy "meeting" O'Donnell in a dark ally personally.

Rich I usually ignore but I heard the audio of this and there is no defence for Rich's position either.

So .... a beat down would do them both some good. Thanks for letting me extend my remarks.

Interesting that Rich found it necessary to defend O’Donnell. Some of this stuff is beginning to stick to O’ Donnell

[federal]

Just like when they call President Bush every name in the book and they they claim he is divisive. Mentally sick people that’s what they are.......

[Nick Thimmesch]

Well O’Donnell’s “rant” might be an indication of what HBO’s “Big Love” was really all about: trashing Morons, er, Mormons. He plays a slick lawyer who protects a known biggie-mast: maybe he takes the show too seriously. Iether way: he’s a certifiable nutcase.

[muawiyah]

There can be no question ~ both!

O'Donnell is beyond obnoxious ~ he is stirring up mob emotions ~ and he's eventually going to find them vented on him.

[jmaroneps37]

The sane DO have some responsibility not to stir up the crazy juices of the lunatics they encounter, so maybe rich has a point besides the one on top of his head.

[AppyPappy]

Hmmm...so O’Donnell ranted against Harry Reid’s religion?

[Always Right]

About as hard as pushing Rosie O’Donnell to eat.

[DOGEY]

That strategy will guaranty a Republican victory

[Ann Archy]

pushed over the edge by his peers’ polite chatter about Mitt Romney’s sermon on 'Faith in America.'”

Sooooo, Larry went INSANE because the others were POLITE????

[y6162]

Rich and O Donnell are both practice left wing hate speech.
Not surprising that Rich defends him. I’m sure he would say that W pushed him over the edge as well. The fact is that they are both anti Christian haters.

[Popman]

"pushed over the edge by his peers’ polite chatter about Mitt Romney’s sermon on 'Faith in America.'”

Raving moonbat O'Donnell pushed over the edge by "polite chatter"

Just imagine what he would have done if it was "rabid "chatter"

Too bad, maybe his head would have exploded.

[cubreporter]

doesn’t take much for this jerk to be pushed over the edge. We saw him twice and said...he’s off the charts.

[JLS]

Sure try that excuse for any rant about blacks, homosexuals, etc. You know any group that predominately votes Dim. You would be off the air.

Mormons predominately vote GOP,so no problem.

[Inspectorette]

Hmmm...so O’Donnell ranted against Harry Reid’s religion?

This is where the overweening hypocrisy comes in. A few weeks ago, an enterprising FReeper posted a news article about Harry Reid's Mormonism that was absolutely GLOWING about how the wonderful attributes of the Mormon religion had made Harry a better person.

[neodad]

Saw the headline. I thought Rosie had opened her trap again.

[Bushbacker1]

Liar!....Liar!....Liar! O’Donnell is a nutjob.

[capydick]

Saw the show, and NO ONE pushed him.

I saw the show also and you could tell he just couldnt wait to go off. He knew what he was going to say that morning before his make up was applied.

Did you also notice how his his hands and arms shakes a bit when he goes off? And I dont mean to say it as a disparagement of a medical condition. His anger and psyche causes him to shake while he spews this crap. The man has some serious issues yet his politics covers for any outrage that should come his way.

Kramer and Dog have to run the gauntlet of apologies for their speech, yet Larry gets a pass.

[Jane Austen]

Didn’t O’Donnell have a previous meltdown on TV? They guy sounds like he might have gone off his meds again. Are they keeping him on TV for the ratings, hoping that people will tune in to see if he goes off again?

[EDINVA]

1 Rich + 1 O’Donnelly = 2 GirlyMen

[Erasmus]

O’Donnell you’d beat down.

Rich you’d crush under your heel like the squishy bug that he is.

[ru4liberty]

Hey, Larry! -----> Anger Busters

[capydick]

He did.

He was inteviewing John O'Neill of the Swift Boat Veteran's for Truth and kept yeliing at him calling him a liar.

He was taken off TV for awhile after the outburst and these remarks will hopefully put him back on the sidelines.

[aculeus]

Who cares what this Sulzberger clown thinks?

O’Donnell you’d beat down. Rich you’d crush under your heel like the squishy bug that he is.

Thank you for that vote of confidence Freeper Erasmus.
