MSNBC's debut of Lawrence O'Donnell's nightly 1 hour offering has prompted this entertaining retrospective on O'Donnell's demonstrated "respect" for political opposition.
As Comcast is about to take over the reins at MSNBC, O'Donnell's newly found soapbox (and the remainder of the nightly lineup of the progressive/leftist-unhinged) may be in jeopardy. It will be interesting to see if Comcast will continue to support an ideology that has brought MSNBC to the bottom of the cable news network ratings (and yes, videos are linked).

Prior to the Monday night debut of Lawrence O'Donnell's new show, The Last Word, MSNBC has been running promos where O'Donnell proclaims how much "political pressure there is on everyone involved" in governing decisions and that it leaves him "respecting every one who steps into that room to do that," adding he's "gonna disagree with some of those people" but will always "respect the strength it takes to go on in there." Well "respect" was the last thing O'Donnell displayed to a couple of guests that appeared with him on various MSNBC programs.
Back on the February 12 edition of Morning Joe, he was such was in such a rage against former George W. Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen, going as far as to blame that administration for the 9/11 attacks, host Joe Scarborough actually had to call the proverbial whistle on him and stop the program, to let him cool down. However, when they got back from a commercial break O'Donnell launched into yet another tirade as he called Thiessen a "torture-monger."
Perhaps O'Donnell's worst performance came on the October 22, 2004 edition of Scarborough Country when he want lashed out against Vietnam veteran John O'Neill of the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth for daring to challenge then presidential candidate John Kerry's veracity, as he repeatedly called him a "liar" and charged he did nothing to stop the war.
The following are transcripts of those unhinged attacks by O'Donnell:
