Ed Schultz just went there

[OmahaBlueDog]

First, he said that the Republicans have talked down to Dems about values for years (true), and then went to (paraphrasing) if she can't lead her family, how is Palin fit to be veep?

I'm not sure that was the way to go, but Ed said it, not Barack or Joe

[skooooo]

1. ouch! But ..

...wish he'd spend more time on the AIP.

[valerief]

3. YES!!!

[Arrowhead2k1]

7. AIP is tomorrow's game.

Patience my friends. :evilgrin:

[Renew Deal]

10. I wonder if he knows about it yet.

[valerief]

2. I like when he said, "Don't say she's a role model. Most professional

gardeners have a nice yard."

ZING!

[DontTreadOnMe]

4. and the RW's answer was pathetic!

"Things happen"... yeah, things happen to families.

[Libby2]

8. Damn skippy, things happen.

But it appears the Palin women should learn how to say no.

[Fenris]

5. He made the same point on his show today.

I, for one, think it's a legitimate point.

[napi21]

6. Yep! He also said "You folks have been beating up on the poor Dem values for YeARS, and now,

when something happens in the Pub crowd that doesn't fit with your program, we're not ALLOwED to talk about it?!!!!"

Ed is a good Dem debator, and he did a great job with his comments!

[AuntPatsy]

13. thats how we all feel....

[skooooo]

14. wow that was good!@

[writes3000]

9. Ed is going to take heat for the way he said that. Big generalization. nt

[XOKCowboy]

17. Well he took the heat for calling McCain a Warmonger

and he was speaking the truth then also. I think he can take it.

[OmahaBlueDog]

18. Hey..Limbaugh has played that roll for the opposition for years now

Turnabout is fair play

[eleny]

19. It will help his ratings and that's what he cares about

He's all about creating heat these days.

[OmahaBlueDog]

20. I wish Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller were on in more markets

I get stuck with Dennis Miller, Boortz, Beck, Lars Larsen, Rush, and Savage


Thank goodness for the internet, but it doesn't help in my car.

[eleny]

23. I know what you mean about the car

We do have a good 24 hour station here. No Mike Malloy or Stephanie, though. So I use the net for those.

Btw, today Ed literally screamed at a caller when she took him to task over his being outspoken about Palin. He told her in no uncertain terms that this is a war for the presidency and the caller backed off. I never heard him like this before. I can say with confidence that he was at the top of his lungs at the caller. It shocked me. But this has all gotten too twilight zone for me. So this baby boomers says that Ed and others can go balls out as far as I'm concerned. :D

[rndmprsn]

11. just saw it, paraphrasing nixon's line in 1968, if they can't unite their party how can they unite..

the country...

if palin cannot lead her family how can she lead the country?

valid question IMHO.

[skooooo]

16. it's ugly but..

..it will resonate with people, imo.

[Unsane]

12. He went overboard.

Dont wanna turn Palin into a sympathetic figure.

[seabeyond]

22. ah hahahah. i think that is exactly where the repugs went immediately

she became an aaaaahhhh, we will protect and stand by her. (more than she did for her own daughter putting her on front stage) and ed shot exactly that down

[eleny]

24. Did Ed say that she put her daughter out front and center by accepting McCain's offer?

I only saw the last 20 minutes of the program, so I missed a lot of good stuff, evidently.

[seabeyond]

26. no, lol that was me. i did read soem article that is out there with that open though

sounding like more and more have been on du reading and it is getting out to the press.

[eleny]

27. thx

interesting that it's out there, though. the more the better. palin needs to step down so we can get back to real issues facing us all. she's a distraction we don't need. and she has her family to shepherd. can you even begin to imagine a family counseling session with the palins.

[seabeyond]

28. oh geez. these families have it hard though, so contained in a box

i think why my family life is so easy is we are so outside box.... works for us

[madrchsod]

15. big ed does`t mince words

we have been listening to the shit right wing radio has been saying about us for to many years now. it`s about time some one stands up to the people who think they control our airwaves...

dam right -her family really is dysfunctional...

[NotThisTime]

21. Couldn't believe he said it, but absolutely agreed with it - don't tell me how to live my life if

yours is a wreck....

[OmahaBlueDog]

25. And then Stephanie Miller with the line about "Gays don't have kids out of wedlock"

:rofl:

[grassfed]

29. imagine if Barack had a pregnant 16 yr old daughter

[OmahaBlueDog]

30. OMG, they'd crucify us

I've had many debates with Republicans, and one thing I've found is that (truly) they really don't see hypocrisy as a bad thing. So they fail to comprehend (again: truly) why they, as the party of "family values", take so much worse of a beating in the press over Foley/Haggard/Craig/Vitter than we do over McGreevy/Spitzer/Bill Clinton.
