@KeithOlbermann so mad at Kirsten Powers he could just pull her hair!

Yet still you dragged me into your inane defense of Limbaugh RT @kirstenpowers10 Now that he's totally irrelevant @… http://t.co/4bDT5IoC

You do know there isn't one Liberal or Democrat who doesn't see you for the sellout you are, right? RT @kirstenpowe… http://t.co/EuUna2Fe

By “dragged me into your inane defense of Limbaugh,” Olbermann means that Kirsten Powers committed the thought crime of reminding people on the left what a misogynist jerk Keith has often been. And ipso facto, that means that her criticism proves that she’s no real liberal, because a real liberal would take it and shut up for the team.

Back in 2009, Johnny Dollar compiled some of Olbermann’s Misogyny Hall of Shame entries, and nothing Olby has done from that point on demonstrates much reformation. What a pig.

That tantrum seems not to have caused Powers to back down, though:

My new column: Critics of Rush Limbaugh Ignore Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi Misogyny http://t.co/2xGYRElQ via @thedailybeast

— Kirsten Powers (@KirstenPowers) March 9, 2012

At the Daily Beast:

Members of the professional left reacted with outrage to my column this week calling them out for their fake war against media misogyny. Instead of addressing the encyclopedia of left-wing misogyny I raised, many liberals chose instead to start a ferocious battle with all manner of straw men.

“It’s not true that liberals never call out people for misogyny!” is the refrain. Of course it’s not true, and I never said it was. Many of the professional left seem incapable of distinguishing between a few blog posts and comments condemning left-wing misogyny and a full-scale war to remove someone from their job. This really shouldn’t be so hard to grasp: If you hate misogyny and sexism in the media, then react to the consistent and repeated misogyny of men on the left with the same fervor that you have reacted to Rush Limbaugh’s sickening outbursts.

President Obama has seen fit to wade into the Limbaugh kerfuffle, even telling reporters Tuesday that Limbaugh’s behavior was an attack on everyone’s daughter and “I do not want them attacked or called horrible names.” Speaking of daughters, do you remember when Bill Maher said that the real name of then-20-year-old Bristol Palin’s book should be “Whoops, There’s a Dick in Me?”

“But Maher doesn’t have sponsors like Limbaugh does!” cry the left-wing Maher enablers. Yes, but he does have an endless stream of high-profile liberals parading through his studio. In fact, it was reported that none other than David Axelrod, who on Wednesday attacked Mitt Romney for his insufficient outrage over Limbaugh’s sexist rant, is set to visit the Maher show to kiss the ring of the Misogynist One. Also, I’m no genius, but doesn’t HBO run his show? Couldn’t liberals boycott HBO?

There’s a whole lot more awful dragging of innocents into this kerfuffle in her post. She might just be the Worst Person in the World.
