I didn't know he was still on the air, to be honest.

Says the guy who just the other day called someone out for "whataboutism."

To answer your question honestly, no. But its rather beside the point. You know what the point is, dont you?

This is not about "Whataboutism"; this is about comparing an unknown evil (Olbermann) against a known evil (Abbot).

The point is Olbermann was tarring everyone in Texas with the same brush, insinuating that because the state of Texas is very conservative, people deserve to die.

One of my dear friends lives in the Austin area. She despised Trump, has always taken the pandemic seriously, and thankfully, because of serious health issues, just got her first round of the vaccine.

And yeah, your comment was extremely "whataboutism. " The s**tbag governor was not even in this conversation. This was about Olbermann's callous and insane comments.

Olbermann is always getting himself into hot water. He likes to live that way.

Still not correct; but whatever...

From the comments in this thread, and from skimming over the past year's worth of news on both s**tbags, I see one as having a lot of local political power, but not as much public exposure; while the other has little political power, but a lot of general public exposure.

I would say they are both about equal insofar as overall s**tbaggery is concerned.

I don't even know what your point is, here.

"Still not correct, but whatever..."

What is correct? Could you enlighten me?

This a big reason why I gave up partisan politics, it's all such BS.

It's long been a tactic of the ruling class: Divide and conquer. Keep people divided, and distracted, with BS issues, while both parties have long ago turned their backs on the American people.

Oh look, another white liberal acting like all southerners are white christian conservatives who deserve death for their political sins.
Someone should remind this chump that (gasp) queers? And people who aren't white? And non-Christians? Live in Texas? And all over the rest of trump country?
