As evidenced below, Merchant of Hate Keith Olbermann has no patience for those who disagree with him. He has even less patience for those who disagree with him while holding some form of gainful employment, especially if that job is in the world of politics and/or the media. Below is an abbreviated list of those he has demanded the firing of for one reason or another. And, if you think his temper tantrums are a new phenomenon, you would be wrong.

Keith Olbermann has called for the firing of:

• CBS Reporter
• ABC Reporter
• Don Imus
• George Bush (too many citations to list)
• Dick Cheney (too many citations to list)
• Bill O’Reilly (too many citations to list)

Of course, there’s always the classy example of ignoring the will of the voters in Massachusetts and his family-friendly (sarc) commentary here.

Interestingly enough, he defended Rush (sort of) by calling off the attack dogs when Limbaugh expressed an interest in buying the St. Louis Rams. Maybe the Crown Prince of Hate Speech  was under the weather, or was disoriented  that Rachel Maddow was creeping up on him in the race for #35 in the cable news ratings chart. Take a look at this family-friendly (sarc) tirade aimed at Scott Brown. You would think that a man with such anger would have problem attracting the ladies, but Janeane Garafolo is still a fan.
