While I agree with KO on most of his political views I don't have a problem with those that don't and he was certainly a polarizing figure in his time at MSNBC. Calling him a Nazi or communist is a little outlandish though, he seems to be a very solid capitalist to me.

My beef is that there is no implied agreement w/ Olbermann's opinions when one agrees or comments on his baseball card discussion. Just because you love his analysis on an Old Judge card does not make you a fan of Single Payer healthcare. So there's ZERO need to blurt out that you think someone is a commie when the discussion has ZERO to do with politics. That's what set me off.
