He plays 100% off of emotion, I detest him and guys like O'Reilly or Limbaugh or Beck because the contribute to the absolute idiocy of the American political system and the belief by most that the goal is to "win" over the other side and not to do what is right for the public, but they are all pretty the same and they all do it.
They play a role to their ideology and look at politics strictly though that lens. But whether or not you agree with that doesn't mean others who don't have a "complete lack of critical thinking".
Both sides look at "reason" to come to their conclusions because they think they are not only right but logical.
The thing I don't get is NBC even suspending Olbermann, last election they mixed their political people throughout MSNBC and NBC. This year they stuck all the the left leaning people on MSNBC and the actual news people on NBC. It's not like they are hiding that MSNBC is the Fox News of the left.
also and I saw this in a story, such a huge hypocrite

Olbermann, as well as MSNBC executives, was a vocal critic of the $1 million donation by Fox News' parent News Corp. to the Republican Governor's Association earlier this year, saying at the time, "We now have another million reasons Fox News is the Republican news channel."
In a subsequent show, Olbermann also pressed House Majority Whip James Clyburn if there was a "legislative response" to a networks that "starts to shill for partisan causes."

I fail to see the difference between the network doing it, and the host of a network show doing. But that being said I don't think he should have been suspended
