Is making a racist remark about President Obama's daughter worse than wishing a conservative talk show host would die?

Such should be asked of MSNBC's Keith Olbermann who on Monday was quite angered by some truly tasteless comments about Malia Obama posted last week at Free Republic.

Yet, back in April when Olbermann published a diary at the liberal website Daily Kos concerning his waterboarding challenge to Sean Hannity, the "Countdown" host wasn't at all outraged by the venomous attacks made on the Fox News star which included some Kossacks wishing he would die.

For those that can stand it, here's a sampling of such commentary:

◦ step by step?

(1) Put Sean on an airplane.
(2) Fit him with a parachute.
(3) About 10 miles outside Falloujah, let him jump.

Give to netroots for the troops!

It's about WAR PROFITTERING, stupid.

I suppose the part that bothers me about it is attacking a child. If people in the media want to throw digs at each other racism or death then the playing field should be between adults insulting adults. An adult picking on a kid is really uncalled for.
