AHHHH!!!!!! I am NEVER WATCHING ED SCHULTZ AGAIN!!!!

[Clio the Leo]

He's BLOVIATING ONCE AGAIN!!! Blasting the WH for not sending Federal agents to talk to Pastor Nutcase.....

Well guess what !!!!!!

FBI Agents Visit Fla. Pastor over Quran Burning

Updated 3:19 p.m. ET

FBI agents visited Thursday with a minister of a small Florida church that plans to burn the Quran on Sept. 11, as public safety became a paramount concern and President Barack Obama added his voice to the chorus of opposition.

<snip>

The FBI spent about a half hour talking with Jones, but church spokesman Wayne Sapp would not disclose what they discussed. Agents leaving the church wouldn't talk to an Associated Press reporter.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30031533/ns/msnbc_tv-the_ed...

[monmouth]

1. He gets on my last nerve....n/t

[Clio the Leo]

2. that man RUINED MY NAP!!!!!!!

ARRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yourout]

3. While he is not my cup of tee he does reach alot of people that no one else on...

our side can.

[Connie_Corleone]

6. But he needs to get his facts straight before opening his big mouth.

[Clio the Leo]

7. Exactly....

.... and I'm not reacting to one incident .... he does this WAY TOO MUCH.

[Snotcicles]

50. What time did they meet with the nutjob? Maybe they took Ed's advice he was talking about

the FBI or CIA paying the nutjob a visit on his noon radio show.

[Empowerer]

58. I sincerely doubt that the FBI is taking its lead from Ed Schultz

[Snotcicles]

66. Ok, doubt it. nt

[CrispyQ]

37. I wish one of the majors would pick up Hartmann.

My right wing mother once heard him speak & told me, "He was very reasonable."

[yourout]

46. +1 million..

[Ikonoklast]

52. Mom can catch the show online.

See:http://www.thomhartmann.com/radio/listen-live

[lamp_shade]

4. Thanks. I let him know.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

5. You can send him an email as well at www.wegoted.com

Good luck!

I'm sending him one, too!

[Clio the Leo]

9. thank you!

If he does a retraction, someone let me know CAUSE I AINT WATCHIN HIS ASS NO MORE!!!! (read with an extremely southern redneck accent! lol)

[Pirate Smile]

8. Does he think no one would ask at the press conference tomorrow?

Look in the mirror, Ed - at the media.

[Clio the Leo]

10. he's an idiot....

.... he's made out of the same stuff Hannity/Beck/Palin are out of, he just so happens to be on the opposite side of the political spectrum from them.

[Tarheel_Dem]

59. Randi Rhodes says it's "schtick". He was a Repuke right up until he found..

out he could play the role of "Anti-Rush". It seems to have paid off for him.

[Flying Squirrel]

65. Well.. I for one am grateful

that there is an Anti-Rush. If that's what it takes, to have some dittoheads in our party as well, then yay for that. Personally, listening to his radio show doesn't do much for me. But it's nice to see some equal airtime for something that ISN'T right-wing BS. Even if it's still BS.

[Clio the Leo]

72. No THIS GUY is our anti-Rush....

.... if you use the same tactics as Rush, then you're not anti-him. Ed isn't QUITE that bad .... but he gets closer and closer all the time.

[Clio the Leo]

71. Our very own little "Lonesome Roads" lol nt

[Inuca]

69. I agree, he is a loud demagogue

and I do not like that whether it comes from the right or from the left. Slightly less abboying when it comes from the left , but stil... The "polls" he has on his TV show are laughable.

[Clio the Leo]

73. aren't they?

"Should Obama be impeached and Michael Moore be installed as our new President? Text now!"

[slay]

11. Ed rules! (and i didn't even need to type it in all caps

to get my statement across) Ed's been great on msnbc. I may not agree with him on everything, but I agree with him more than I do SOME people here on DU obviously.

[Clio the Leo]

14. Ed SPEAKS in ALL CAPS!!!

.... I figured .... ya know ..... "when in Rome"

[davidinalameda]

26. he does doesn't he

good point

[Clio the Leo]

33. I was thinking....

.... if I got mad at the President, .... well, Hell would freeze over .... but if I did, I would speak calmly and use larger than average words.

If I got mad at Rachel, I'd be snarky and throw in pop culture references.

As it is ..... I AM MAD AT BIG ED!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

15. ty

I wish Big Eddy would go retire up to Big Eddy's North Country Lodge

[Ineeda]

29. Thanks - I got a 'page not found' error in link at the OP

just emailed Ed to tell him we viewers count on him for facts.

[Cha]

64. Thank you, LiberalStalwart~ nt

[tularetom]

13. Ed can be depended on for an emotional reaction to any news item

I like him but he is prone to react viscerally to something as polarizing as the nutcase koran burning pastor.

He's trying to appeal to the dumbass fox news viewer by getting outraged over things, but he loses a lot of the more thoughtful audience by doing so.

[Clio the Leo]

18. I know....

.... and that's what bothers me .... we're libera/progressives .... we're suppose to be the calm, intellectual types. lol

[lumpy]

28. If you are a calm,intellectual type, why are you 'bloviating'?

That bothers me.

[Clio the Leo]

34. lol, not what I said...

.... I'm saying I give it like I get it.

ED IS A SCREAMER SO NOW I'm SCREAMING TOO!!! lol

[lumpy]

48. So 'bloviate' away. Scream too, if it makes you feel good.

We got Ed's point and yours also. Bloviating might be a good thing in this instance.

[DiverDave]

16. They should have hired Thom Hartmann.

He's thoughtful, is smart as all get out and has a voice that is just right...unlike the braying of eddie.
I hope he is still on Sirius as I'm going to get it again.

Driving from 2AM till noon or so, out in the woods, I cant get many stations...Sat radio is just the ticket.

Back on topic, ed is an ass and isn't too liberal

[jenmito]

17. I couldn't BELIEVE when he said Obama was forced to talk about this (on advice from Rahm)

when he SHOULD'VE been talking about the economy. The TRUTH, Ed, is that Obama was asked one question about the Quran burning during an interview this morning which was largely about the ECONOMY! Ed used this as a reason to bash Rahm. Ed had his facts all wrong.

And then he kept saying that Ed Rendell called RWers "fruit looms" instead of "fruit loops." Ed is clueless.

[Clio the Leo]

21. Well, to his credit...

.... I'm sure it's hard to HEAR what the President is saying WHEN HE WONT SHUT UP HIMSELF!

[jenmito]

24. TRUE!!!

I don't know why I yelled that.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

39. Did you send Ed a message asking him to correct the record? n/t

[Clio the Leo]

40. yup nt

[jenmito]

41. Yes. I ALWAYS email the anchors/pundits when they say something wrong/false/unfair. n/t

[Empowerer]

60. Don't you just love it when the press cherry picks what they want to cover and then blames the

president because they decided to obsess over one thing he said or did?

[Clio the Leo]

74. The blast him for "not focusing on the economy" and what do you want to bet...

.... the first question at today's briefing will be about Rev. Nutcase and NOT about the tax credit?

[onehandle]

19. He was talking about the President having to wade in personally.

Which the White House handled horribly.

All caps and lots of !!!!. Nice.

[Clio the Leo]

22. He was saying the WH should have sent the Feds....

... WHICH THEY DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <--- see, I can do MORE!!! lol

[madinmaryland]

20. You do realize there is a button (actually several) on your remote control that allows

you to change the channel.

[Clio the Leo]

23. hence the thread title. nt

[jgraz]

25. You're at a 10, we need you at a 2

Is the reason for all this strum und drang simply the fact that Ed dared to criticize Obama? I find it hard to believe that a radio host getting a fact wrong could whip you up into such a lather.

[Clio the Leo]

35. It's ok..... I've had a cookie .... I feel better now...

.... and if my problem was that he had dare to criticize The Obama I would have said so .... but, as I said, he "reported" something that was simply not true.

He has his facts wrong.


.... again.

This is not an isolated incident. I'm tried of it.

[jgraz]

47. Never cared for the guy personally.

Occasionally, he'll have a good rant but mostly he's a blowhard. Not surprised he doesn't check his facts.

[Boxerfan]

27. Never po a Leo ???

One persons opinion & all...

But Ed does a better job than most anyone on workers issues & healthcare..

So--whatta ya think of the rest of the media or is it just Eddie.

[lumpy]

32. He's too busy 'bloviating'.

Idiotic

[Clio the Leo]

36. exactly.....

.... and because he has such a wide audience, I'm just asking that he make sure what he's saying is the truth before he goes around throwing daggers AT HIS OWN PARTY'S LEADER!!!!

[Uzybone]

30. the truth has to matter

Ed Schultz is M$M, half truths and distortions are in his nature. He is on our side, but anyone who lives and dies on his words is a fool.

[golddigger]

31. Sorry, but the WH did handle this whole

clusterfuck wrong. Now every fucking nutjob will feel they can hold the WH hostage on this issue and others like it. They were played again by the repukes.

Also I will keep watching ED, he's better than Fox and CNN.

[Clio the Leo]

38. He blasted the WH for not sending the Feds when they did...

... if someone want to slam the WH/President for something they're within their right to do so, but they better make sure they get their facts straight.

[golddigger]

42. Only after the WH started making comments

about this issue. What I Ed was trying to say, was, they should have kept their mouths shut and just had the FBI talk to this asswipe.

[ProSense]

43. The moron almost caused an international incident

Interpol and the State Department issuing travel warnings. The President would have be negligent to not speak up.

[Clio the Leo]

44. Yeah .... I dont get everyone's probl. with that....

.... the Feds/Gate/whomever talked to Rev. Nutcase and now Rev. Nutcase has called off the burning.

Rev. Nutcase is just a little teeny Mr. Imadinnajacket .... except without actual nuclear weapons ... but if his actions can put American lives in danger, he might as well have them, right?

I never bought into the notion during the primaries that the President (whomever he may be) is so special that he cant SPEAK with those who aim to do us harm .... and I'm not buying into that notion now.

http://inkslwc.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/obama-discusses...

[golddigger]

45. Well the can of beans is opened now and spilling all over

the floor. The asswipe and the repukes who put him up to it accomplish their goal.

[Empowerer]

62. And if the President had remained silent, Ed et al would have beaten up on him for not speaking up

[savalez]

49. self deleted

[Tarheel_Dem]

51. I gave up on Ed almost from the start. Haven't watched more than

two episodes. His "blame the WH first" schtick got really tiresome.

[Political Tiger]

Me too. He's Must Miss TV as far as I am concerned. n/t

[a kennedy]

53. I'm not listening to you.......

I listen to ED and I do agree a ton of times with him......so STFU. He's for the middle class, ME...... SO JUST STFU.

[Fire1]

54. I'm not going to tell anybody to stfu, but I DO agree with you

AND Ed, MOST of the time and to me, he was on point, today!!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

70. So you ignore facts and bloviate too?

Good to know.

[Clio the Leo]

75. No! You!

lol ......... and I gotta flag too!

[pauliedangerously]

55. Ed Shultz is just another Bill O'Reilly

The only difference is that one of them is in a blue box and the other is in a red box; both boxes contain shit.

[NorthCarolina]

56. Your concern is duly noted. eom

[donheld]

57. Pity

[ClarkUSA]

61. Did you know Ed was a Republican who wanted to run for a GOP House seat in 1994?

Ed admitted that he was a Republican in the mid-90's because "I wanted to make a lot of money". Just think, he wanted to be part of the "Republican Revolution" with Tom DeLay and Joe Scarborough as a way to rake in the dough!

Schultz told the Los Angeles Times that he "lined up with the Republicans because they were anti-tax, and I wanted to make a lot of money...." Schultz pondered a run as a Republican for the U.S. House of Representatives against Democratic Rep. Earl Pomeroy in 1994, but decided against it after visiting with state Republican leaders.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Schultz

Now he's "lined up" with the Democrats because he stills wants "to make a lot of money". Hey, it got him his present gig, right?

Ed is a media whore, plain and simple.

[Spazito]

81. Wow, very interesting!

I never cared for his show before he got his gig at MSNBC and I still don't. It always struck me as opportunistic as opposed to speaking out on principle, with a few, very few exceptions and now I know why. It's all about the money and whatever it takes to get it.

[Cha]

63. He really should stop bloviating once a while and when

he's catching a breath he could catch up on the latest like you so astutely suggested, Clio~

[Clio the Leo]

76. yup nt

[gort]

67. I don't know what we're yelling about!!!!1

aahahahhahahhhhaahhhhh111!!!!


I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party.

[Clio the Leo]

77. HE RUINED MY NAP!!!!!!!!!!

lol

[rasputin1952]

68. You do not have tune intot he show, there is a remote for a reason...

I use it all of the time When I see Tweety interrupting and getting about 80% of his talking points out of right field...

[Clio the Leo]

78. like I said, not watching him again...

.... even if I have to WALK to the TV all 60's style and change the channel manually! lol

[Joanne98]

79. I LOVE ED SCHULTZ!

We need thousands more like him to drown out the cowards in our party.

[onehandle]

82. He's a natural leader and a fighter. Some DUers don't trust 'other' leaders.

Go Big Ed!

[Joanne98]

83. I like fighters. GO ED!

[bvar22]

84. Big Ed is GREAT for the Democratic Party.

His "Gun Toting, Red Meat Eating, Two Fisted Working Class Democrat" spiel is a wonderful counter to the Limousine Liberal/Latte Liberal image the Right has successfully imposed on Democrats over the last 20 years.

Most of our Media spokespeople preach to the choir.
Big Ed reaches an audience that normally wouldn't listen to Olberman, Hartmann, or Rachel.
As such, he has a niche that BELONGS exclusively to him. I believe he has been more successful at giving Middle Americans permission to vote for Democrats than the personalities that preach to the choir.

He is on our side, and I'm glad to have him.
It would be a big mistake to throw him out with the purity purges.

[Newcanuck]

80. Pastor Nutcase's spokesman...

...is called Sapp? How apt.
