Keith Olbermann Blasted for Suggesting Romney Family Get ‘Vasectomies’

Former ESPN talker Keith Olbermann was blasted online after he posted an attack on Mitt Romney’s family saying he hoped they would get vasectomies and stop having children.

“Somebody gift these people some vasectomies,” the often foul-mouthed Olbermann tweeted on Wednesday in reply to Romney’s holiday photo of his family.

Olbermann, who is unmarried, thankfully childless, and has no brothers, was soon slammed online by Twitter users, both left and right, who felt his attack on Romney kids and grandkids was a step too far.

You are a tremendously lonely weirdo.

Every child is a gift. Stop insulting big families. https://t.co/0MKf3jmjYw

Why, Keith? Which of the people in this picture should not exist, and for what reason?

Weird that a big happy family would make you so upset.

So you saw a family photo with a comment wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and you thought "You know what this needs? An insult."?

Plenty to criticize regarding Romney’s politics. His family’s Christmas picture isn’t one of them, however.

I remember when I respected your opinions. You're better than this.
