Olbermann Comment On Hawkins

Keith Olbermann has given the following comment to the Boston Phoenix, in response to John Hawkins's assertion that Olbermann and others are "happy" and "overjoyed" that Congresswoman Gifford was shot:

"Mr. Hawkins's remark suggests he is mentally disturbed. I'm very sorry for his plight."

And from Ari Rabin-Havt, executive vice president at David Brock's Media Matters for America:

"This is yet another example of the overheated rhetoric from the right that has led to the climate we exist in today."
