Olbermann has always been a prissy little douche on no ratings MSNBC. This Dallas Tea Party challenge given to him is hilarious!

A tea party group is criticizing Keith Olbermann for suggesting the conservative grassroots organizations lack diversity, challenging the MSNBC host to attend an anti-tax rally on Saturday.
A 90-second web video posted on Monday by the Dallas Tea Party rebuts the liberal “Countdown” host’s attacks on the groups during his show.
“Let me ask all of you who attend these things, how many black faces do you see at these events?” Olbermann says during a clip highlighted in the video.
“Well, Keith, we see a whole lot more at our events than we see at MSNBC,” a narrator responds, as the video cuts to an image of the network’s mostly white lineup.
The video highlights the same lineup after Olbermann asks later, “Why are you surrounded by largest crowd you will ever again see in your life that consists of nothing but people who look exactly like you?”
One tea party activist in the video then tells Olbermann, “Something tells me you’ve never been to a tea party. We think you need to get out of your bubble.”
“So, now you’ve been invited to the one-year anniversary of the tea party movement at Dallas City Hall Feb. 27 from noon to 2 o’clock,” another activist follows up, going on to impersonate the colorful host. “If you don’t show, have you no shame sir?”
Olbermann recently defended MSNBC against the charge that there’s not enough diversity in the network’s lineup, pointing out during a lengthy special comment on “Countdown” that while the current lineup is mostly white, a number of minority hosts have had shows on MSNBC and frequently contribute.
