Like water and oil, sports and politics don’t mix. Along with a mountain of other complaints about NBC’s gaffe-plagued, stone-age Olympics coverage, many fans are griping about being bombarded with relentless ads and commentary from MSNBC’s extremist left-wing personalities.

I love watching the Olympics but I can't handle the MSNBC propaganda. Just the games people!

I'm watching the Olympics on #MSNBC & they can't let a commercial break go without an asinine, liberal claptrap commercial w/ Chris Matthews

Anyone else getting tired of the #MSNBC commercials featuring Matthews and Madow? #Olympics

Why is @MSNBC ruining the Olympics by showing me Chris Matthews commercials.

i thought MSNBC was supposed to have Olympics coverage… instead, they're rerunning an episode of Rachel Maddow from 2008 right now.

That was close! #Olympics coverage wound up, & @msnbc tricked me into watching about 10 secs of @maddow. Dove across bar to flip channel.

Thanks @Maddow & #MSNBC for trying to politicize the #Olympics and our athletes in your ads. Unnecessary.

Only problem with Olympics on MSNBC – seeing 'Tingles' and Maddow during the commercials (muted). I need a drink (or two)!

Other viewers are amused this Sunday morning to be watching handball instead of “Hardball” on the Obama lapdogs’ network of choice:
lol what sport is this on MSNBC?? handball? lmaooo

Watching crazy handball on @msnbc. I think I'm gonna like this sport. #London2012.

Heh:
I'd watch a lot more @msnbc if they replaced Chris Matthews' Hardball with Olympic Handball.
