#1 Gadahn, an American-born Jewish convert to Islam, lamented the firing of Olbermann from MSNBC.

Speaking for Jews, he is not Jewish.

His paternal grandfather was Jewish, his paternal grandmother wasn't. His mom wasn't. Ethnically he is not a jew.

Religiously he was brought up a Protestant Christian.

FU Daily Caller.

#2 The referenced WaPo editorial concludes:
The al-Qaeda spinmeister didnt like Fox News (let her die in her anger), but its hard to understand why. Surely Rupert Murdochs network, with its saturation coverage of the war on terror, did more to elevate bin Ladens profile than any other news outlet.

Seems pretty obvious to me -- he hated Fox for the same reason he loved MSNBC -- for the slant of the reporting.

#3 Ethnically he is not a jew.

I don't care who his parents were. Ethnically, he is an ass-hat.

Great! Could we make them even sadder by getting rid of the entire network and airing footage of them carrying boxes full of the stuff on their desk to their cars?

#5 Adam, you can catch Keith Olbermann on the AlGore channel if you can find it. It is the show with the cheesy backdrop and the low budget programming that no one watches. Sort of looks like a low budget p0rn movie setting. Most people are of the opinion he was an idiot on MSNBC and is still an idiot.

#7 Al Qaida and Media Matters seems to have both issued the same memo.
