Disgraced MSNBC Numbskull: Bachmann is Crazy Because She Never Voted for a Tax Increase or Something

Look at the bright side. He didn't call her a right-wing slut. The idiot was aided Tuesday in his analysis of the GOP debate by having on seven other liberals.

What happened to fair and balanced, fatboy?

Bachmann was widely viewed as the surprise star of the debate, even by other MSNBC hosts, but Schultz is too dense to even notice that, let alone acknowledge it. No, he's stuck on the "Bachmann is crazy" meme and just won't let go.

Ed Schultz to Moonbat Guests: 'You People are in Denial!'

Comedy gold. When Ed Schultz, a guy who just slithered back to TV after calling Laura Ingraham a slut, sounds like the most sane person on the panel, the left has a huge problem on their hands.

Crazy Ed Schultz: Laura Ingraham a 'Right Wing Slut'

The dude is seriously unhinged. Via Radio Equalizer, who wonders how much longer Comcast will suffer with this buffoon on MSNBC.

Schultz has really lost it. He's claiming Ingraham celebrated while Ronald Reagan had a pint in Ireland? If I'm guessing correctly, Ingraham was probably in high school or perhaps college during Reagan's presidency. Is Schultz relying on Media Matters for his information again?

ED SCHULTZ (02:52): And what do the Republicans thinking about? They're not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They're just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they're talking about, like this right-wing slut, what's her name?, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she's a talk slut. You see, she was, back in thehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama's doing it, they're working him over.

Update: Low-rated MSNBC has sent the low-rated psychopath packing for a week.

Ingraham responds.

Re. the crude comments made about me by Ed Schultz on his radio program: First, I was surprised to learn that Ed Schultz actually hosted a radio show. Is it only available online? Second, I have to get back to recording the audio edition of my new book "Of Thee I Zing." Now I'm tempted to insert one additional zing--about men who preach civility but practice misogyny.

Over two days after the disgusting comments by Schultz, the pukes at Media Matters weigh in with some haughty drivel. Way to get out in front of the story.

Delicious Irony: Obama Fanboy Ed Schultz is Very Concerned About "Radical" Whippersnapper Paul Ryan

I'm not sure whether the doctors dropped Ed Schultz on his head in the delivery room or if he was recently kicked in the head by a mule. But somewhere along the way he must have experienced some severe head trauma. Poor guy. It obviously affects his political analysis.

Fortunately for Schultz, that sort of impairment is par for the course over at MessNBC.

Apparently, Mr. Ed believes that allowing Medicare to collapse while doing nothing (except of course demagoguing the bejeezus out of the issue) isn't radical at all. No, no - the radical plan I guess is to come up with a few common sense ideas that preserve benefits for seniors age 55+ while making necessary changes to the program for younger Americans, so that we might have a fighting chance at avoiding certain fiscal and societal calamity.

Who does Paul Ryan think he is, anyway - some neophyte community organizer with perfectly creased pants and an irresistibly cute boyish smile?

Special thanks to Newt Gingrich for teeing this one up for Schultz.

Low Rated Cable Host Sued Over TV Deal

Honestly, if I were the one responsibly for unleashing this plague upon Americans I'd probably be keeping a very low profile.

An NBC employee claims MSNBC host Ed Schultz owes him 25 percent of his TV earnings because he developed the network's "The Ed Show." Michael Queen -- an NBC broadcast engineer -- alleges in a lawsuit that he pitched an idea for a show to be hosted by Schultz to MSNBC's Phil Griffin in 2008. "Almost a year after Queen had pitched the show to Phil Griffin, and Griffin turned down the show, Griffin called Schultz and hired him directly for 'The Ed Show,' " the court papers state. Queen also claims that he found an apartment for Schultz and his wife in Washington, DC, and even loaned him a car for three months for free. Queen told us: "We picked them up from the airport, and went shopping for them -- all while helping them become millionaires, and we received nothing." Schultz's attorney, Jeffrey Landa, told us that Queen and Schultz once worked together on a pilot for a syndicated weekly show at a local Washington, DC, affiliate, and that Schultz has no further obligation to Queen.

Schultz likes to portray himself as a champion of the little guy. How about taking care of the people who helped get you where you are, fatboy?

Sergeant Schultz: Bin Laden's Death Will Be the Republicans' "Waterloo"

I know we've already honored Bill Richardson with the Crazy Person of the Day award, but here we have a solid runner-up who should not go unmentioned.

Please, please - watch the video if you want to fully appreciate teh stoopid, laid bare with Schultz's trademark buffoonish delivery.

"Osama bin Laden is the Republicans' Waterloo on national security. They don't have the upper hand. Their plan didn't work for all those years. They did the illegal activity and it didn't work. And it was President Obama and it was the Democrats who have supported this strategy that was well played out on the campaign trail and now is enacted big time and we're getting ... results!"

It's a shame nobody bothered to inform Mr. Ed that it was the Republican plan that actually worked, not Obama's. Fortunately, the American people are way smarter than Schultz.

Then again, so is my pocket lint.

'You Have Me Confused with John Boehner'

Nice to see the new tone firmly taking root on the left. In one corner you have a low-rated, unhinged MSNBC babblehead. In the other, the Speaker of the House. Not too hard to separate the two.

When Keith "Uberdork" Olbermann signed off at MSNBC last week, one of his colleagues burst into tears -- of joy. A network spy said Ed Schultz welled up with happy tears when he learned Olbermann was booted and that he'd be moved to the better 10 p.m. time slot as part of a resulting program shuffle. Schultz, who's known for random outbursts, such as when he yelled at staff, "I'm going to torch this [bleeping] place!" was told to ditch his "psycho-talk" segment in his new time. He said through an MSNBC rep, "You have me confused with John Boehner."

Speaking of Olberdork, we may finally have the reason for his precipitous slide into looneyland.

In the end, it wasn't Keith Olbermann's wacko politics, bipolar tantrums, or the Comcast takeover that set his MSNBC career on a collision course with an iceberg.

It was Ben Affleck.

A source formerly with the cable network said the end began in April 2009, when Rachel Maddow booked Hollywood's darling to appear on her show. Olbermann wanted the star for himself on "Countdown."

It was the first battle Keith didn't win.

"In protest, he refused to go on the air," said the ex-colleague.

It wasn't his first meltdown. A year and a half earlier, MSNBC had moved studios from the Jersey boonies to Rockefeller Center. When Olbermann discovered that his new office door had a built-in window, he went ballistic, phoning network President Phil Griffin and threatening to walk.

"I mean literally, Andrea. Over the door!" said the source. "Keith made such a fit about it. He was ugly and mean. But no one came to his defense.

"Part of me feels sorry for him. He can't blame alcoholism. That was just a normal thing for him to throw tantrums." The door was replaced.

But it begs the question: Can Keith Olbermann be saved? Or, like Norma Desmond, will he fade, screaming, into the sunset?

After he lost Affleck, Olbermann staged a three-day sickout. He later claimed that he vanished from the air to mourn his mother (and attend baseball games). But Olbermann's mom died nearly two weeks earlier, CityFile reported, and he didn't miss a day of work. Until Ben.

Last April, Olbermann went nuts when Donny Deutsch was hired as a guest host on MSNBC. He got Deutsch bumped.

"Donny was p- - -ed," said a source.

Shortly after that, Olbermann first proposed walking away from more than two years on his $7 million-a-year contract, as The Post reported. Then, just as suddenly, he stayed put. In November, he was suspended two days for making political contributions. But he never apologized. He truly believed he was being persecuted.

So earlier this month, when Olbermann again whined that he wasn't happy, MSNBC brass couldn't wait to be rid of him.

"He has no friends, nobody to go to," said one former pal. "He said, 'I can't take this! This is too much for me!' Well, guess what. Nobody cared."

Hot Air links. Thanks!

Ed Schultz: So Nutty, Dennis Kucinich Seems Utterly Rational By Comparison

Well, nobody ever accused Ed Schultz of having a sense of irony.

One of MSNBC's dumbest bricks, Schultz decided today that a good way to tee up a discussion on "toning down the rhetoric" would be to unload yet another one of his patented, unhinged screeds on the GOP:

"John Boehner has to deal with all of this tea party rhetoric in his caucus, and has no interest in trying to work with the President. Sarah Palin, and the Tan Man, and the rest of the Republicans have no interest in rising to the President's challenge on tone and accepting the plea to change it all. They already have a post-Tucson mentality."

Pause. He means 'pre-Tucson mentality'. He is accusing conservatives of having a 'pre-Tucson mentality'.

Sigh.

He continues...

"They don't care about stripping 32 million Americans from getting their healthcare. They don't give a damn about kids with pre-existing conditions. And they want every American armed and dangerous. Pretty clear - this is all about putting Democrats on the defensive, and filling their campaign coffers for 2012."

How's that for a compelling rhetorical fig leaf? Schultz even threw in that embarrassingly out-of-context Michelle Bachmann quote - which was a nice touch, I thought.

But Kucinich wasn't buying it. Now watch as his pleasantly surprising response leaves Schultz flapping in the breeze.

Mindblowing Hypocrisy: MSNBC Clown Calls for 'Decency' Law

Sure, let's leave it up to Ed Schultz, racist Al Sharpton and the clueless Sheila Jackson Lee to decide what can or can't be said on the airwaves. If they actually spent the time listening to Rush Limbaugh instead of being fed spliced clips and edited transcripts from Media Matters they wouldn't look like such buffoons.

Savor the irony of a far-left bombthrower from MessNBC calling for decency. You can't make this stuff up.

Jesse Jackson: "Creeping Genocide" Awaits if Obamacare is Repealed

Here we have a prime example of what passes as an enlightened, perfectly sane discussion of healthcare on MSNBC.

What else is there to say about Jesse Jackson? Behold the hyperbolic, incoherent mess in all his glory.

Repealing Obamacare will lead to 'creeping genocide'? Good grief. This, even though Obamacare's benefits (LOL) don't even kick in for another four years. I suppose the mere passage of the law had an immediate impact on things like life expectancy and infant mortality.

Alas, it did - but for the worse.

And anyway, I don't get why Ed Schultz has his panties in a bunch over possible impeachment trials repeal of Obamacare. No doubt, the Republicans will stab The Beast with their steely knives, as well they should. (Message received). But Obama is in office for at least two more years. Even if a House repeal bill miraculously gets past the Senate Democrats and onto Obama's desk, he would veto it. And he'd probably broadcast it on C-SPAN, the tone-deaf doofus that he is:

"Look! I just vetoed a bill that would have annihilated the most bipartisanly reviled, economically destructive piece of legislation of all-time. Thank me!"

Poll: Americans Love Fox, Have No Idea Who These Losers on MSNBC Are

I think MSNBC's ratings might actually get a bump today as people tune in to see if any of their low-rated liberal hacks lose it on the air. When they realize nobody know who they are while at the same time admire Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck then you know heads are going to explode.

More people are getting their news about the upcoming election from cable television than any other source, and from Fox News more than any other cable channel, according to a POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll released Monday.

The poll found that 81 percent of those polled get their news about the midterm elections from cable channels, like Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, or their websites, compared with 71 percent from national network news channels, such as ABC, NBC or CBS, and their websites.

Among cable news channels, Fox was the clear winner, with 42 percent of respondents saying it is their main source, compared with 30 percent who cited CNN and 12 percent who rely on MSNBC.
...
Fox’s opinionated personalities were also rated as having the greatest positive impact on the political debate in the country. Bill O’Reilly was rated as having, by far, the greatest positive impact, with 49 percent of respondents rating him positively, and 32 percent negatively.

Glenn Beck was the second most-positively rated personality, with 38 percent of respondents saying he had a positive impact, and 32 percent saying he had a negative impact.

Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh was the third-most-positively ranked, with 36 percent saying he has a positive impact on the discourse, but his negatives far outweighed his positives, with 52 percent saying he has a negative impact.

“To some extent, Limbaugh has become almost a caricature in a way, so I don’t know how much influence he has beyond entertainment value,” Arteron said. “Whereas, in some way, the other people on Fox are seen as more legitimate news operations.”

MSNBC’s personalities were largely ranked as unknown by respondents: 70 percent said they had never heard of Ed Schultz, 55 percent said they had never heard of Rachel Maddow and 42 percent said they had never heard of Keith Olbermann.

Bill Clinton and John Kerry would call those people ignorant and uninformed.

Deranged MSNBC Host: 'I'm Going to Torch This F--king Place'

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. What did Bathtub Boy do now? No, it wasn't him. Actually Olbermann almost seems sane next to Ed Schultz, who's good for at least one on-air meltdown a week. Now he's going crazy in the newsroom.

Must be wonderful working in such a hostile environment.

MSNBC talk show screamer Ed Schultz had a meltdown in the network's 30 Rock newsroom, shouting at staff, "I'm going to torch this [bleep]ing place."

The hot-tempered anchor of "The Ed Show" lost it during a phone call in the packed studio and slammed down the phone before exploding.

As astonished MSNBC staff members fell silent, Schultz glared around the room and yelled, "[Bleep]ers!"

A witness told us, "Ed was furious the network was running election-night promos and he wasn't in them. He'd been arguing on the phone with marketing, then he slammed down the phone and exploded. It was like Mel Gibson had entered the newsroom."

Fuming Schultz was immediately dragged in for a meeting with NBC News President Steve Capus and MSNBC President Phil Griffin following his Aug. 12 meltdown.

Our source added, "Schultz was told: 'If you do that again, you are fired.' He broke down crying."

Sources say the hothead was pushed over the edge by MSNBC's catering to bullying fellow anchor Keith Olbermann and its focus on golden girl Rachel Maddow.

A second MSNBC source said, "Ed never gets any attention and love, and he finally snapped."

Remarkably, despite Schultz's test-pattern ratings, some flunky tried to put a positive spin on things.

A spokeswoman for Schultz and the network declined to comment on the incident but said, "The only thing that's on fire are Ed's ratings, and the only people crying are at CNN."

Anthony Weiner Announces Investigation of Liberal Talk Radio Hosts

Well, at least he's being even handed.

Oh wait, he's ignoring them and just targeting Glenn Beck? How convenient.

Meanwhile, the slimy Stalinist wannabe was on with Bill O'Reilly Monday night.



Meanwhile, more inconvenient Weiner Facts continue to emerge. He really is an embarrassment to humanity.

Ed Schultz Completely Loses It

No wonder this guy has so few radio listeners and even fewer viewers on MSNBC.

Is this how you treat a caller? Maybe a few more can call in with such questions. His head will probably explode and we won't ever have to listen to this idiot again.

Genius Ed Schultz Figures Out Rush is Against Democrats

Time for the Fairness Doctrine, of course. I guess he want to force people to listen to him and these other low-rated clowns on the left.

Hot Blue on Blue Action: MSNBC Moron Ed Schultz Tells Robert Gibbs He's 'Full of Shit'

This Democrat implosion gets better by the minute. Low-rated MSNBC knuckle-dragger Ed Schultz was speaking at a gathering in Minnesota last night and told the audience about an exchange he had with White House spokesthing Robert Gibbs.

SCHULTZ: I told him he was full of sh*t is what I told him. … And then he gave me the Dick Cheney f-bomb. … I told Robert Gibbs, I said “And I’m sorry you’re swearing at me, but I’m just trying to help you out. I’m telling you you’re losing your base. Do you understand you’re losing your base?”

Schultz clearly suffers from Cheney Derangement Syndrome. What's the deal? Any time someone uses the F-bomb it has to come back to Cheney?

Meanwhile, the commenters over at the TP asylum are in deep, deep denial.

Thank you for posting this. What it means is….THE CONSERVATIVES/TEABAGGERS ARE NOT A FORCE. We liberals are! Honestly, I wished they had shown up to vote to put Coakley in Ted’s seat, but since they didn’t, the only move the Obama Admin, Harry, and Nancy can do now is go far left and drop the nuclear-option-bomb whenever they can! It’s truly what the people of this country want despite what the wingers are saying.

Just keep thinking like that. This counter-revolution should be easy.

Here's video of Schultz in case you have 17 minutes of your life and a million brain cells to sacrifice.

Unhinged MSNBC Host: The Republicans Want to See You Dead

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

When ObamaCare is forced upon us I hope they have some mental health provisions to cover these lunatics at MSNBC. This clown Ed Schultz almost makes Keith Olbermann look sane.

Scroll to the 5:00 mark when Schultz really begins losing it.

The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead! They’d rather make money off your dead corpse! They kinda like it when that woman has cancer and they don’t have anything for her ... My God, Democrats, what’s wrong with you?! You can’t deal with these people, at all!

He then goes on to attack Olympia Snowe.

Now Olympia Snowe, I’m not wishing bad on you, at all, but if you get cancer in your stomach, Senator Snowe, what I would like you to do is wait two weeks to see a doctor. Huh?! You’re telling them to suck it up.

He later adds:

“Here’s what the Republicans and all the righty talkers and all these psychos on TV do. What they do is play on your fears, as if somebody’s gonna come take something from you.”

Psychos on TV? Uh, Ed, you want to go back and watch yourself?

Good grief, no wonder this lunatic has no ratings. He really needs to seek help.

Does MSNBC review what goes on with their programs? How on earth can anyone there watch this and think it's OK to say this stuff on the air?

More here.

Another Lefty Finds Religion

Usually whenever a conservative even mentions the G-word in public, the left goes nuts, the ACLU files suit and the media goes bonkers over the vaunted separation of church and state.

But since liberalism is essentially a religion, they can inject Jesus into any discussion that suits them.

Here we have far-left kook Ed Schultz, a favorite at the White House, declaring that Jesus would be down with socialized medicine.

It doesn't get much more banal than this.



It's a moral issue, of course.

Schultz said the people were the government, so the obligation of the government was inclusive, according to Perkins' standard. However, Perkins pointed out for the MSNBC host that the politically left-of-center seem to be willing cite scripture when expedient, but tend to get worked up when those on the right do the same thing, which he referred to as a double standard and even questioned if those on the left understood what they were citing.

"There's this double standard," Perkins said. "When the conservative uses scripture, the media goes into convulsions saying they're trying to create a theocracy. When the liberals use scripture, they just report it I guess because they know they don't mean it."

I guess on the upside people really won't get worked up over this considering Schultz is seen by such a microscopic audience.

'Poor Norah ... She's Been Crying All Night and Day'

Stop your crying

Aww, poor Norah. Maybe she can get a job at CNN. And to think, she was crying all night and day and apparently Keith Olberdunce wasn't harassing her. I figured she started crying once she saw her puny ratings.

On Wednesday, Keith Olbermann announced on his show that Schultz would be getting his own liberal, "politically oriented show" in the 6 p.m. time slot -- bumping David Shuster's "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" to the 3-to-5 p.m. slot. The move forced "MSNBC Live," hosted by the net's chief Washington correspondent, Norah O'Donnell, out of the 3 p.m. position.

"It's ridiculous," an insider said. "They told us all about the changes at 8:50 p.m. -- 10 minutes before they told the rest of the world. And poor Norah. What's she going to do now? She's been crying all night and day. Just out of the blue, they take her show away. Nice, real nice."

Other employees are scared for their jobs.

"They also quietly hired Carlos Watson as an anchor but won't say for what show yet," our source said. "So everyone is wondering who else is going to be bumped."

Watson, who had been trying to get a show called "Interviews with Carlos Watson" on the air, now does an hour at 2 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays.

"He's black, and they want to have a more multicultural appearance on air," the source said. "He's going to be a much bigger player there than he is now. But everyone else just wants to know: At whose expense?"

Who said liberals aren't racial bean-counters?

Obama Looks to Bypass Slavish White House Press Corps for Even More Sycophantic Media Outlets

Look for the White House to grant more access to bootlickers from MSNBC, the HuffPost and moonbat radio hosts like Ed Schultz. Apparently they're not satisfied with the Washington press corps that is trying to regain credibility by actually reporting the truth about this disastrous presidency.

Consider this a call for useful idiots.

At a time when his Washington honeymoon is turning into a hazing, President Barack Obama and his team are launched on a strategy to sail above the traditional White House press corps by reaching out to liberal commentators, local reporters and ethnic media.

The highest-profile moments in the new approach have been well-noted, such as the president giving an interview to progressive radio host Ed Schultz and Obama calling on a reporter from the liberal-leaning Huffington Post at his first news conference.

But those moves are only part of a much larger strategy aimed at communicating directly with audiences the White House believes are more sympathetic to the president’s agenda — and one in which much of the work is being done by Obama’s top advisers.

On the day Obama released his ambitious spending plan, the administration put White House budget director Peter Orszag on a conference call with liberal-leaning writers. Senior administration aides have followed up by promoting the budget to local radio talk shows during morning drive time.

Jared Bernstein, Vice President Joe Biden’s economic adviser and a favorite of the labor-liberal wing of the Democratic Party, also held a conference call with friendly reporters.

White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has done conference calls with black and Hispanic media outlets.

If they think this approach will work, all power to them. The only problem with this strategy is they'll be passing along their propaganda into the unquestioning echo chamber.

Good luck with that.

Maybe some day these folks will grow up and realize the campaign is over.
