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 Romneys 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.

Kindly clarify to which dude youre referring: Rich, ODonnell or both? ;-) 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

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.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
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.

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

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.

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.
