Case in point…ACORN vote “fraud,” though there’s no such thing, I think we all know how Bush won the last two elections.

Gordon Liddy.
Is it legitimate to smear McCain via his association with Liddy? Not really. But that’s not the point. The point is that Liddy is an unrepentant vile criminal and lunatic with a comparatively close relationship with McCain. Compared to what? Compared to the reformed, violence-regretting, Chicago Citizen of the Year William Ayers’ casual, not-particularly-close acquaintance with Barack Obama.
Shall we now talk about John McCain’s many other very close associates that truly do reflect badly on his politics and character, like all the professional lobbyists for brutal dictators he hired to run his campaign?
Bah! Every time the McCain campaign and perky puppet Palin produce another smear of Obama, the attack on Obama proves to be demonstrably false and/or irrelevant, while vast mountains of evidence can quickly be found to show how McCain and Palin are actually guilty of the very sort of thing they are attempting to smear Obama with. We need a new word to describe this phenomenon, perhaps “hyper-hypocrisy.”

(In fact, you only found part of it.) Over 11 minutes’ worth: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/06/olbermann-special-comment_n_132456.html
