    I think that is ridiculous for Keith Olbermann. It seems to be that everyone is raggin on conservatives for being hateful for FOX News for not reporting the news, but look at Olbermann! At least we don’t have articles about the worst people in the world.

    “Quick aside: are all those who are so concerned about Glenn Beck okay with Keith Olbermann and his brand of “civility”?”

    Your aside is an important one, and yes I am concerned about both. Beck and Olbermann are different sides to the same coin. That coin represents hyperbole, fear mongering and masquerading a cable TV product as actual activism. Unfortunately, this sort of thing is really obvious when done by someone one disagrees with, but is harder to see in one’s own side.

    Our country has been governed peacefully since the election of 1800 (when the Federalists lost power), because with each election we have a political marriage that inevitably allows “the other side” to govern. The Olbermann’s and Glenn Becks of the world are in a constant state of hysteria that disagreement even exists. As such, they appear to have a dim view of our republic and democracy in general.

    As Mitt Romney recently said–this is a “special land”. Like Romney, I make no apology for American Greatness. On the other hand, Glenn Beck (like Olbermann) has a dim view of human nature and seems to think our country is going to hell in a hand basket. I disagree and only worry about his views to the degree that they become a self fulfilling prophecy. Beck is particularly irksome to Latter-day Saints as the Church has tried to distance itself from the Skousen-John Welch brand of politics for five decades. A recent Church press release decried media voices that peddle fear, but some Church members seem to be lapping up Beck.
