He Means You, Grandma - Ed Schultz Denigrates Elderly as 'the Almost Dead'
By Jack Coleman | April 06, 2011 | 20:09
That's OK, he wasn't planning on any speaking gigs from AARP anyway.
As is his wont, libtalker Ed Schultz revealed his underlying opinion on a specific subject without even being aware he was doing it, this time on senior citizens.
Here's Schultz on his radio show yesterday with his warped take on elders, after initially referring to Republicans' proposed budget plan calling for broad spending cuts over the next decade (audio) --
The path that the Republicans are taking to achieve this is what we call in the media, what I've called in the media for a long time, a dead demographic story. What is a dead demographic story? A dead demographic story is it only affects them old folks! And them young folks ain't gonna be paying attention to it! The 18-to-34, the 25-to-49 crowd. Medicare? What the hell's that?! I'm trying to keep my job, man! What are you talking about?! That doesn't catch my attention! But it catches the attention of the almost dead!
Spoken like a true death panelist, Ed. So much for older Americans as a respected core constituency to liberals, at least not to this one.

She'd kick his ass.

Right, B! Ed should remember that sometimes the "mostly dead" DO come back and kick ass. ;-)

That word, it does not mean what you think it means (or words to that effect).

Scratch many liberal elitists (even dumb-as-a-stump wannabes like Ed Schultz) and you will find they have nothing but disdain and scorn for those they profess to champion - like the poor and the elderly.

Ed revealed not only his own disdain, but the disdain of the media in general, of "seasoned citizens."

I see this behavior in liberal forums all the time. They are always talking about how Republican's are old senior citizens and they can't wait until they all die. Huffington Post is huge on hating anybody over 50. So is MediaMatters. The liberal mindset is nothing but disturbing.
FYI: My dad is 70 years old and a Vietnam veteran. I know he will outlive Schultz because he is thin, runs on the beach every morning and eats right. This fat piece of garbage Schultz will die of heart attack within 15 years.

It is easy to see by checking Fat Ed's ratings that he is only interested in subjects that produce a large amount of listeners and viewers. YUKYUK!

Thanks a lot, Ed. Today is my 62nd birthday, and I am just now beginning to receive Social Security. It feels real good to know that y'all are pulling for me to survive a wee bit longer, although I'm "almost dead". News flash, Sgt. Schultz" We are ALL "almost dead", pal. And with your weight issues and high blood pressure, I'll bet I outlive your fat ass, you pea-brained blowhard.

Actually Sgt Shitz is dumber

Actually Sgt Shitz is dumber than the character on Hogan's Heroes. He has it exactly backward.
You all are going to hear Congressman Ryan's proposed 2012 budget demagogued to death (Pelosi did so even before it was published!).
If Sgt Shitz had bothered to read Congressman Ryan's proposed 2012 budget, he would realize that it "grandfarthers" all those born before 1953 in regards to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. This includes Sgt Shitz!
Here is the Congressman Ryan's interview on CNBC: http://www.myheritage.org/news/how-paul-ryan-uses-heritage-analysis-in-h... .
If you want to read the proposed 2012 budget, it is here (in PDF format): http://budget.house.gov/UploadedFiles/PathToProsperityFY2012.pdf.
This is the most important legislation that will be before the American people during the next two years leading up to the election in November 2012. We need to get behind Congressman Ryan and write, call, or e-mail our own congress person and senators and urge them to adopt this legislation.
