On the February 14 edition of MSBNC's Countdown, host Keith Olbermann awarded right-wing pundit Ann Coulter the “bronze” in his nightly “Worst Person in the World” segment for her reference to Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama as “B. Hussein Obama” five separate times and as “President Hussein” during a February 13 appearance on Fox News' Your World, as Media Matters for America documented. Olbermann then stated, “Then we put her on this network today so she could do it again.”

Olbermann named Laura Ingraham the “runner-up” for stating on the February 13 edition of her nationally syndicated radio show that President Bush “welcomed [Rev.] Al Sharpton to the White House. I hope they nailed down all the valuables.” Olbermann added, referring to Ingraham: “I know you and Coulter think you're satirists, but you do realize that if you're really not racist, you are enabling racism there.”

Olbermann named Fox News Radio's Tom Sullivan, host of The Tom Sullivan Show, the “Worst Person” “winner” for playing a “side-by-side comparison” of an Adolf Hitler speech and an Obama speech on his February 11 broadcast.

From the February 14 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann:

OLBERMANN: Richard Lewis on Valentine's Day, and President Bush, sit well back from your TV, please. He's next, but first time for our No. 2 story tonight, Countdown's “Worst Persons in the World.”

The bronze to Coultergeist -- went on Fixed News and called Senator Obama, quote, “B. Hussein Obama” five times. The host asked her why she was calling him that, and he mentioned it then a sixth time, then she referred to him as “President Hussein.”

Then we put her on this network today so she could do it again. For the record, if you want to try her trick and call her by her first initial and her middle name, it's close. Her middle initial is “H,” but she'd only be A. Hart Coulter.

Runner-up, Laura Ingraham. reporting on her radio show that the president had, quote, “welcomed Al Sharpton to the White House. I hope they nailed down all the valuables.” And adding, quote, “I can't believe they let him in the front door there at Black History Month.” I know you and Coulter think you're satirists, but you do realize that if you're really not racist, you are enabling racism there.

But our winner, Tom Sullivan, who apparently does a show for Fixed Radio. When a caller suggested that Senator Obama's speeches reminded him of the speeches of Adolf Hitler, Sullivan then alternated clips from a Hitler speech and an Obama speech, played them consecutively on national radio. When another caller said it was unacceptable to compare Obama to Hitler, Sullivan said he wasn't, he was just noting, quote, “Adolf Hitler was able to gather a country of people and get them excited about whatever it was that he is talking to them about. He was a very fiery, enigmatic. ... And I asked the guy, I said: 'Are you saying that Obama is like Hitler?' And he said, 'No, it's the speaking style, that's all.' And the speaking style is actually kind of similar.”

So, you're not comparing Obama to Hitler, but you are comparing Obama's speaking style to Hitler's speaking style. So, you're insisting you're not comparing them in any way, except when you are comparing them in that way.
