When last we heard from Keith Olberamann, he said he was retiring from being an asshole but apparently that life is too hard to give up. Back at ESPN for some reason, Olbermann has taken a keen interest in a Mississippi hunter who recently bagged a rare white turkey during turkey season. Olberman is outraged by this and is demanding his followers ruin the hunter’s life. He would also like to see a reporter fired for writing about the turkey hunt. It’s not quite on par with calling Betsy De Vos a “motherf*cker” but it’s close.
This all started with a story in The Clarion-Ledger about Hunter Waltman (perfect name) who took down a rare white turkey on the 2nd day of turkey season in Kiln, MS. The article was written by Brian Broom. It’s unclear how this local interest story came on Keith Olberamnn’s radar, but it did and he reacted like this:
It be rare and beautiful so me should kill it.
This pea-brained scumbag identifies himself as Hunter Waltman and we should do our best to make sure the rest of his life is a living hell. And the nitwit clown who wrote this fawning piece should be fired. https://t.co/KdU3Bkg104

Is he f*cking serious? Apparently so. Olbermann wants Waltman’s life made into a living hell and Bloom fired for the crime of reporting on something legal that happened. Let’s keep in mind that this rare white turkey was not an endangered or protected species, just a natural anomaly.
In any case, Olbermann got his wish and people are starting to harass Waltman:
A Mississippi hunter has found himself in a wave of controversy after TV personality Keith Olbermann asked his Twitter following of over 1 million to make the man’s life a living hell.
Hunter Waltman, 22, of Kiln Mississippi recently harvested an unusual white wild turkey. Wildlife biologists determined it was partially albino, a condition called leucism. Olbermann took issue with Waltman’s killing the bird. He not only called his following to rally against Waltman but also for this Outdoors editor’s job for writing about it.
Waltman said he is receiving verbal attacks due to Olbermann’s actions. While no one directly threatened to harm him, some said they hope harm comes his way.
“They text me all kinds of stuff. If he (Olbermann) hadn’t done that, none of this would have happened,” said Waltman.
Waltman told the paper that he had never heard of Olbermann before this, but would now like to see the ESPN host sent to any early retirement, again.
“To tell you the truth, it seemed like a threat to me. Make (my) life ‘a living hell?’ That seems like a threat to me. I’d be glad to see him fired. He went overboard,” Waltman said.
He really never has heard of Olbermann, has he? All this guy does is go overboard. That’s his thing. Well that and getting fired. He’s been shitcanned from every place he’s ever worked, including several times from ESPN. Will they fire him again for this? Probably not.
The Washington Free Beacon reached out to the sports network to find out what, if anything, they planned to do about Olbermann threatening a man and attacking the free press. It turns out they ain’t doing shit:
“We have spoken to him about not making personal attacks,” said ESPN in a statement regarding Olbermann.
That should teach him.
I was going to ask why Olbermann’s tweet doesn’t violate Twitter’s polices, but it’s obvious that the social media platform doesn’t have any problem when lefties say hateful things and issue threats. Those things are bad coming from conservatives, but liberalism has its advantages. I bet this hunter would have a pretty good lawsuit against Olbermann if he wanted to pursue that.
Many people have suggested that perhaps they should make Olbermann’s life a living hell, but I think he’s already there. Someone with as much anger as Olbermann is clearly unhappy with himself and it’s probably a struggle for him every day to not stick his head in the oven and take a forever nap.
