Now Suppose Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity Had Said What Keith Olbermann Said

The Huffington Post's Rachel Sklar is once again The Cable Gamer's favorite liberal brunette media pundit. She writes a tough piece here on Keith Olbermann, who used distinctly sexist and misogynist language against Hillary Clinton.
The Cable Gamer doesn't count herself as much of a feminist, in the media-p.c. sense of the world, but any woman this side of O should be outraged at the threat of violence against women (and come to think of it, O was a volunteer, while HRC didn't ask for Olbermann to threaten her).
In fact, as Sklar points out in her piece, there's been a lot of nasty sexism directed at Hillary.
But of course, Olbermann was in his own category--suggesting physical violence. KO apologized, not that I think he means it.
Still, one is left to wonder: What would have happened if some prominent conservative had said exactly what Olbermann said?
