Keith Olbermann Tells Glenn Beck “Go To Hell” For “Making Light Of 9/11″
Last night, Countdown host Keith Olbermann named Beck his “Worst Person” in the recurring segment, which in itself is not news. But last night he used language that rarely, if ever, is used towards another person on a news program. After calling out Beck for “invoking 9/11 just to oppose health care reform,” Olbermann ended by telling him to “Go to Hell.” Wow.
Olbermann first quoted Beck as saying:
“Ten years ago, I could have shouted every single day about Usama bin Laden and his wacky, crazy threats to kill Americans in New York and no one would have been willing to stand in line two hours while some security officer made grandma take off her shoes. Today, things are different. America is changing. We’re not letting you get away with it anymore. …The 912ers are willing to stand in line and take off our shoes before the towers hit the plane.”
Olbermann’s response: “Beck … shark … jump. You and the 9/12ers have the nerve to exploit 9/11 for your lousy TV ratings. You can not make light of 9/11, nor bandy about as if your petty political grievances are comparable to it, and still be an actual patriotic American. In short, Glenn, 9/12ers, if you are invoking 9/11 just to oppose health care reform, go to hell.”
