Ed Schultz the Poseur

[kaitykaity]

Comments: You are a poseur.

No liberal uses a sexist term line "witch" as an insult
the way you did Friday.

You jumped on the gravy train like a good little opportunist.
You aren't fooling anybody.

Oh, and this thing you have about Randi Rhodes? Get over it.

I guess you know she's the real deal and that's why she bugs
you so much.

She was a liberal on the radio when it wasn't the cool thing.
Unlike a poseur like you.

>>

****....

Nice try...

ed


>>>

Uh, huh. You didn't think anything of the comment,
you wouldn't have replied.

Go sell it somewhere else, poseur.


>>>

I don't have to sell anything....
AND WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

I LOVE E-MAILS LIKE THIS...

ED


>>

Yeah, sure you do. (Love emails like this I mean.)
And my name is on the email. It's not anonymous.

You know, If you really gave a tinkers damn, really were
what you were selling, you wouldn't be so defensive.

You'd take the concerns seriously.

Randi saw through you right away. Shouldn't have blown
her off, man. Bad, bad move.

lol.


>>

We'll see who makes it...is that fair enough ?

ED


>>

Not about "making it." People are so hungry for an
alternative to the Lords of Loud that they'll stomach a
poseur like you.

Doesn't mean you aren't a poseur. You keep slipping up,
letting your ego get in the way of doing the job, of
keeping listeners who might have a problem with you.

That's a recipe for failure. You need us more than
we need you.

1. witch

You're a witch Kaity.

[kaitykaity]

2. Where's the smilie or do you really mean it?

Like this: :evilgrin:

Otherwise I'm gonna think you mean it, although I did laugh
at first.

[Drewskie]

3. .

If I meant it I could'nt be a liberal... :) Or could I?

[kaitykaity]

4. That's why I wanted a smilie.

So I'd know for sure you're flicking shit at me.

Welcome to DU, by the way. Looks like you'll fit
right in.

:evilgrin:

[Drewskie]

5. Oh and he's said worse things

He called Randi Rhodes a slut on the air, which is quite alot worse in my book. But that's how certain radio people get ratings... talking smack like that.

[kaitykaity]

6. I started a thread about that when it happened.

The thread got huge, really pissed people off here.

Check it out.

7. Put witch in the context that Ed used it. Your emails sound very

mean spirited to me. What does he have against Randi?

[kaitykaity]

8. No context justified how he demeaned that woman

with the use of such a sexist word. He didn't have
the balls to use the "b."

Mean spirited, huh? Guess I'm not supposed to care
he called Randi a liar when he said "consider the
source."

:eyes:

She's better than he is and it hurts his ego.

The rift started at that Landreiu dinner. Randi said
hello to him and he blew her off like she wasn't even
there.

She talked about it on her show soon after, and they've
been going after each other ever since.

When he called her "Randi slut" on the air, all bets were
off AFAIC.

[Drewskie]

11. ...

I have'nt heard him say anything bad about Randi for quite some time. Al Franken and Ed have since cozied up to each other, they've each appeared on each other's shows, and Jones & AAR do their marketing together, so it makes little sense for the opposing hosts to attack one another.

ED does tend to use the word bimbo alot.

[kaitykaity]

13. Eddie clearly has a problem with "uppity" women.

Randi is brash, trashy, tacky, in your face.
"Big Eddie" can't handle a woman like that.

Most people on the left I know who are subject to
an ism (anti-Semitism, racism, sexism, et cetera)
do our best to understand and overcome it.

"Big Eddie" revels in his sexism. He bathes
in.

[Drewskie]

15. ...

Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham get called similar things(worse actually) on these very forums. Is there indignation then? 'Course not... so I don't make too much of it.

[kaitykaity]

16. Defending Coulter and Ingraham here

is a whole lot like pissing in the wind.

[rainy]

12. I didn't know the whole story about Randi, love that girl, I

hope she is doing well. Why did Ed call someone a witch? Was it today? How dare him call Randi a slut. I was just starting to except Big Ed, he is from my hometown, Norfolk, VA.

[kaitykaity]

14. It was last Friday. A libertarian woman argued with

him a little and then hung up on him. He called
her a "witch."

"I didn't mean it, ha ha."

Yeah, right, he didn't mean it.

[CatholicEdHead]

17. He gets emotional on air

You need to get energized. He clearly says he is not your "stereotypical liberal". Have you read his book? It is quite good.

[kaitykaity]

18. Another excuse for bad behavior.

Him dismissing my concern out of hand with "nice try"
tells me all I need to know about what he feels about
I as a liberal think.

That ain't no friend of mine.

[CatholicEdHead]

20. He clearly talks about

that some will like his style and some will not.

Do you honestly think that Franken and Randi can really reach out to the "red states"? Ed puts it in terms that most regular people can understand. You don't have to agree with him on everything to approve of him.

Liberals come in all shapes and sizes. Take a good look around DU and other places.

[kaitykaity]

22. More excuses. They're getting more creative, but

they'll like assholes. They all stink.

He's not a liberal. He's a poseur. He hopped on
a gravy train as it was pulling out of the station.
It's all about his ego -- him, him, him.

Blech.

Oh, and this reaching out bullcrap? Things are gonna
have to get really, really bad for these red state
idiots to wake up. Okay fine. They voted for the idiot.
Bring it on.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

9. Ed is mercilessly attacking the Right Wing just how they attack us!

GET TOUGH OR BE DESTROYED!!! The Democrats better learn this!

[kaitykaity]

10. He's a FRAUD.

No tough there. He's a FAKE PHONEY FRAUD. PERIOD.

[SHRED]

21. Yeah we better

This kind of hanky ringing is bullshit for sure. The repugs don't get hung up on a little discord or a word someone calls someone. Nope they forge right through, organize, and protect their own. That is why they control everything now.
Learn people learn!

[SHRED]

19. So Ed is on your shit list?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...............

[kaitykaity]

23. Gee. What a waste of my time.

Why'd you bother? You bored or something?

Get a hobby.

:puke:

[SHRED]

24. Your rant...

is so childish I couldn't help but comment.
You don't want discourse and that is obvious by the tone of your letter to Ed. You go on the attack immediately calling him names.
You skin appears paper thin and vindictive.

Get a counselor.

[kaitykaity]

25. Blah, blah, blah.

I guess you weren't paying attention. Schultz has been
on probation with me since he called Randi "Randi Slut"
on the air last year.

Oh, no, you'd rather think you're some kind of smart person
or something.

Do some homework before you throw your foul accusations.

[SHRED]

26. Just remember...

there is no such thing as "negative publicity".

Who gives a rat's ass who likes who? Randi, Al, Ed, Mike, Thomm, etc...they all add to the progressive cause.

I disagree with your personal crusade against Ed and your characterization. You don't know what went on between them anymore than I do but you have obviously chosen sides."Schultz has been on probation with me since...".
With you? BFD.

[kaitykaity]

27. Now you're going to educate me?

Give me a fucking break.

Oh, poor eddie's a victim of somebody with no microphone
and barely enough money to stay alive.

Oh, boo, hoo, hoo.

I guess the big boy is the one with the thin skin after
all.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha.

[CatholicEdHead]

28. That's your choice

so they have different styles, so what? Do you have any problems with his day to day CONTENT? Get off the Randi soap box and what is wrong about what he brings up every day?

I listened to him back when he was on KFGO on his News and Views show(KFGO now carries his afternoon national show), he was a hit up there, and irritates lots of people and even scolded his right wingers in his audience a few times for being short-sighted.

You can't go that long without many more people besides yourself on a sole rant asking questions.

[kaitykaity]

29. Oh, gee. So I guess you're not on a Big Eddie soap box?

Dismissing bad behavior, for whatever reason.

He's keeping the feud going too, you know, what with
when a caller says he got something from Randi's show,
Schultz snickers and says, "well, consider the source."
Basically calling her a liar.

So quit lecturing ME about being on a sole rant, whatever
the hell that is.

I'm saying he's a FRAUD. He's presenting himself as
being something that he's not. That might not matter
to you.

It matters to me.

[CatholicEdHead]

30. So, if you disagree with Randi you are not a liberal?

That is what you are impling. Pretty narrow logic. Randi can do her show whatever way she wants. There is no requirement to like Randi to be a moderate or liberal or Democrat.

They have different styles but the same long term goal, to help spread a more moderate message among the masses.

Personally, I am not a Randi fan at all. I choose to be an Ed fan becuase I like his entertainment style better. That is what either show is, ENTERTAINMENT.

So their egos clash, it does not mean their other views are off.

There is no cookiecutter plan for a "liberal" even though some people love to label and stereotype.

[kaitykaity]

31. It's not about "disagreeing with Randi."

It's not about "different styles" or any of that
other stuff.

It's about Schultz' clear sexism, him calling
Randi "Randi Slut" on the air, his ego, and the
fact that he's selling something that's not real.
He's a poseur. A fake. A fraud. A phony.

He's a latecomer to the party who jumped on the gravy
train as it was pulling out of the station. He's an
opportunist who saw the way the radio wind was blowing
and decided to go that way.

Just because it was Randi who pointed it out first
doesn't make the fact invalid.

[CatholicEdHead]

No

Randi also has srong female sexism in her show the little I have listened to it. To me it is part of each one's act and ego.

There are also many liberals out there who are sexist in one or many ways. That is more a personality thing than political leaning thing.

Have you read's Ed's book about what happened in 1998? He also did not ask for this show, it was offered to him by Demoracry America. He switched sides long before his national show was offered.

By your definition, Franken would also ben an latecomer with his radio show.

You can just listen to Randi and I will continue to listen to Ed.

[kaitykaity]

33. Randi's been doing this for 10-plus years. She's th real deal.

You go ahead a settle for a fake. No skin off my
nose.

"Everybody's sexist in one way or another" is a really
lame way to excuse the nasty word Schultz called her.
Everybody does it? Come on. Get real.

Oh please he didn't go after this. Is that why he keeps
lobbying for a TV job on his radio show, so that when
it gets offered you can say "he didn't go after that it
was offered." Geez.

:eyes:

And I don't listen to Franken either. A little of his
schtick goes a loooonng way.

Randi and Malloy are enough for me.

34. Yay Kaity!

My mom (coffeenap) and I despise him..he hunts.

'nuff said

[Drewskie]

35. buck

I shot a buck with .243 Winchester last fall. It was fun.

[CatholicEdHead]

36. Despise him because he hunts?

It can also be looked at as controlled population control. That is why the seasons are government regulated.

Without population control the animals will suffer as they outgrow their food supply.

He did a REALLY good job in Colorado today with the live remote show.
