At the end of the day, if someone wants to take a stand against a convicted woman beater and say that people should boycott him, I don't think that's an unreasonable stance to take, regardless of whether or not you've taken a similar stance before.

Olbermann has the right to express his opinion and take any moral stance he wants, just like anyone else. Unfortunately for him, his "boycott" plea is going to be about as effective as throwing a pool noodle under the wheel of a charging mack truck.
