If a right wing talkshow host told you via e-mail to "kill yourself"

what would you do?

Olbermann's antagonists, who asked not to be named, repeatedly claimed in their June 8 E-mails that dead Al Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was Olbermann's "hero," prompting the television star to advise: "Hey, save the oxygen for somebody whose brain can use it. Kill yourself."

After I forwarded that and other E-mails to an MSNBC exec, Olbermann wrote: "I apologize to anyone who might take offense at my part of this correspondence. It goes without saying that I should not have replied to these abusive and hateful E-mails, but I wonder how many of us could receive literally hundreds of them questioning our patriotism, religion and ethnic origin, without succumbing to the natural wish to confront such hate?"

They advocate killing people all the time...

Some are constantly on the attack, are hateful and known for suggesting violent acts against specific groups.

Some are known for being generally congenial, taking a lot before hitting the boiling point.

One size response does not fit all.

He just should have left it as "you're using oxygen that could be better used by someone with a brain." Email is forever.

its what we DO, apparently.

and is it really true that O'Reilly has 'six times' the viewership of Olberman?

Of course this was a set up. I bet these e-mails probably all came from the same IP, that of the NYDN guy himself.
