That most liberal-elite, MSM standard-carrier-ish of sites, Salon.com, finally deigns to takes note that Keith Olbermann did a very, very, very bad thing with his Nazi salute stunt and that the Anti-Defamation League isn't going to let him get away with it:
MSNBC talking head Keith Olbermann has made the "Sieg Heil" salute a standing part of his routine making fun of Bill O'Reilly -- most visibly at the recent Television Critics Association meeting -- but not everyone is laughing. Last week, the Anti-Defamation League sent him an open letter asking him to retire the joke: "While we understand that your aim is to entertain your audience by taking pot shots at Mr. O'Reilly, your repeated use of the Nazi salute has resulted in many complaints from our constituents, including Holocaust survivors and their families who find the use of this gesture offensive and repugnant in any context ... In light of these concerns, we hope that you will reconsider your use of the Nazi salute in the future." (ADL.org)
That ANYBODY laughed at that remains way beyond me. Also, what does Salon mean when they write that "Olbermann has made the 'Sieg Heil' salute a standing part of his routine making fun of Bill O'Reilly" and not just at the TCA? When and where has he done this before and why aren't people screaming about it?
