Reply #86: FWIW, my email to Keith Olbermann about this matter

Dear Mr. Olbermann:

I try to remain as objective about Bev Harris as possible. In her favor, it's my understanding that the party she "crashed" was actually not supposed to be a party at all, simply a political gathering. Perhaps Ms. Harris was practicing a form of "civil disobedience" and it backfired. Ms. LaPore, however, is not a sympathetic figure in any circumstance, and so I'd call that a draw.

I do agree with you that Ms. Harris made an error in judgment, and I hope her "scene" doesn't evolve into a "Dean scream" on the MSM. We'll see. It may be that the woman is overtaxing herself and what seems rational in the planning stage becomes irrational in the execution. Perhaps a representative can be designated in her place to speak for her, someone who advocates her cause but can be a bit more objective in presenting the case to the public.

In closing, I believe you are being more than fair, and you have all the appearances of being forthright with your blogosphere audience. Please continue to pursue the matter of this tainted election. America needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

Regards,

I really do believe Mr. Olbermann is walking a very fine line here. It's time for Bev Harris to meet him in the middle. Too much is at stake to allow this to dissolve into a debate about his motives/agenda or her motives/agenda. Mr. Olbermann is giving Bev Harris the benefit of the doubt. It's only fair that she return the favor.
