The reports of these two being related is an exaggeration

NBC correspondent Lawrence O'Donnell has been losing it for the last four years, but he usually restricts his extreme bombast for Republicans. He wouldn't allow John O'Neill (actually a Democrat) speak in a 2004 television appearance, screaming "Creepy liar" over him whenever O'Neill tried to respond. Just recently he let loose a barrage of anti-Mormon bigotry when discussing Mitt Romney. Now, however, O'Donnell aims his strange ire at John Edwards, whom he accuses of racism for staying in the primaries:
John Edwards is a loser. He has won exactly two elections in his life and lost 31. Only one of his wins and all of his losses were in presidential primaries and caucuses. He remains perfectly positioned to continue to lose with a Kucinich-like consistency. Nothing but egomania keeps Edwards in the race now. All presidential candidates are egomaniacs but some of them have party status worth preserving that forces them to drop out when they hit the wall. A loser like Edwards has no status or dignity to lose. Campaigning and losing is his life. So, he will continue his simple-minded, losing campaign and deny Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton the one-on-one contest they deserve.
If John Edwards stays in the race, he might, in the end, become nothing other than the Southern white man who stood in the way of the black man. And for that, he would deserve a lifetime of liberal condemnation.
Wow. Just ... wow. I hold no brief for John Edwards, and think he's a political loser myself, as O'Donnell labels him. He's not going to win the nomination, and his continued presence in the race exemplifies his self-involvement more than anything else.
But to suggest that Edwards' failure to withdraw constitutes racism as O'Donnell clearly implies is nothing short of insane. Does O'Donnell believe that Obama's presence in the primaries requires all other candidates to withdraw to prove that they're not racist? In fact, isn't the suggestion that Obama can't win this on his own without people throwing the election a racist notion in and of itself? At the very least, it's offensively paternalistic.
Jane Smiley, also at the HuffPo, offers O'Donnell some sage advice: shut up, Larry. She should have added: seek some help.
Wow...the dems are clearly showing their true colors..and I ain’t talking Black. First the hildebeast and Bill’s racist remarks and then the fool from NY - Cumo’s son shuffle and jive remark - and now this..and it’s every day more racism of the worst kind.
Dems are about the most racist people on earth.
Yup—lots of morons in the moonbat media.
It really doesn’t take much to graduate with a degree in Communications - just tell the prof that you will work to spread socialism everywhere. Easy A.
“O’Donnell is also a Hollywood writer and producer of “West Wing.”
You do know that West Wing has been off the air for well over a year, don’t you?
So ??????????
He is not a reporter, correspondent, news producer of any of the like. He is liberal political commentator
I was about to post the same thought.
Being a "correspondent" implies a certain level of non-biased reporting removing one own opinion to deliver the news
This moonbat is about as far from that as possible.
Don't worry about it
If you live long enough, you will be a participate in the same ending as the book, but in real life
Wow!!! The libs are at each other’s throat. Rosanne Barr attacked Oprah for supporting Obama; called her a “closet Republican”.
Chris Matthews is dissing Hillary big-time.
John Kerry does not endorse his former running mate.
C’MON LIBS; KILL EACH OTHER OFF!!!
Nailed it.
Game, set, match.
Liberalism leads to insanity, it is plain to see. Since the practice of Leftist thought is an exercise in divorcing the mind from reality, the eventual effect is mental breakdown and psychosis.
O’Donnell is a textbook case of this syndrome. Witness the widespread scourge of “Bush Derangement Syndrome” that effects so many otherwise normal adults. O’Donnell may continue to decline and sink into a kind of personal bedlam, based on his distorted perceptions of just what is real.
He may become a danger to himself and those around him, so I recommend that anyone who might have contact with him, and that includes coworkers, be very cautious and never allow yourself to alone with him in a sealed room.
What on God’s green earth are you talking about? Have you not heard this quote from Hillary? “Dr King’s dream began to be realised when President Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It took a president to get it done.”
