This story gives some more background: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/b..._Penn_Stater_who_got_Olbermann_suspended.html

The initial tweet was from an alum who had a previous exchange on twitter with Olbermann back in January:

In late January, DeLeon watched a video of Olbermann condemning the "disgraceful restoration" by the NCAA of 112 football wins that had been stripped during the Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal. The decision made Joe Paterno again the winningest Division I football coach ever.

DeLeon tweeted a link to a rebuttal posted on Onward State, a site dedicated to Penn State news: "@KeithOlbermann silent on this? Nailed you."

To her surprise, Olbermann tweeted back: "You're quoting a penn state fanboy site. The only person who got nailed was that bastard Paterno."

When I was first on Twitter, I followed Olbermann for a short time. Until I realized he does this kind of thing frequently. It's okay to be opinionated; not okay to treat everyone with such disdain.

Lately, Olbermann seems to have a hate-on for pretty much everyone.

He always has, IMO, or at least sneering contempt (which is worse). Many of my friends adore him; they donned sackcloth and ashes when he was fired from MSNBC. I have always disliked him. He's a smug, ranting asshole. Even when I agree with his position, I despise him.

You're actually talking about me, aren't you? It's okay, I can take it...

No. You're a smug, sneering, ranting asshole, and yet even when I despise your position, I like you.
