Rich: Co-Panelists 'Pushed' O'Donnell Into Anti-Mormon Rant
Newsbusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/16/2007 3:39:33 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

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.'”

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.

Regards

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

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.......

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.

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.

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.

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

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

That strategy will guaranty a Republican victory

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.

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.

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

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.
