Tin-eared at MSNBC

Comparing angry Clinton supporters to women who stay with a "jerk" who's "difficult and brutal" was not the best way to defend Keith Olbermann.

    Tin-eared (eyed?) at Salon

    Joan Walsh:

    You.

    Don't.

    Get.

    It.

    And I'm afraid you never will.

    You don't understand the reasons why Reagan and the Bushes won elections.

    And you don't understand why I don't pay (directly) to read Salon.

    I'm afraid you aren't very smart. Your opinions are not valued.

    I honestly believe in diversity. It is important to have mediocre talent in positions of authority.

    It is almost impossible for me to overemphasize my belief that what you write, in terms of your views, are only understood to be 'logical' in the same way that the OJ Simpson jury's verdict was 'logical'.

    I'm 100% serious. You, when writing about Hillary and Obama and gender...your own experiences have so colored your views that your writings on the subject are as WRONG as the Simpson verdict was.

    Perhaps understandable...but wrong. Wrong for the country, and wrong for the Democrats (which includes me).
