Ed Schultz Lurches From Panic to Incoherence Over Wisconsin Recall
What a difference 48 hours makes in the barren wasteland known as Ed Schultz's mind.
Back on May 29, Schultz warned of giant flaming acorns falling from the sky if Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker prevailed in a June 5 recall election against Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who was defeated by Walker in the 2010 gubernatorial race. (audio clips after page break)
Here's Schultz sounding the alarm that a Walker victory could foreshadow President Obama's defeat in November, which in turn would usher in an era of permanent GOP control of the White House (audio) --
They are trying to set it up that if Mitt Romney gets elected, if Mitt Romney gets elected, there will never be a Democratic president again in the history of the United States. The future is just, this is the way it's going to be. There'll never be a Democratic president in our lifetime again. And when I say in our lifetime, I'm talking about long, long, long, long, long time.
This is why Wisconsin's so important. The people of the country need to know that you can defeat it. And this in many respects is doing the country a favor, the way they're operating, the way they're lying, the way they're backing up the worst candidate, the worst governor in the country, his record's horrendous, and who he's a puppet to.
So that's why this is so important. They're trying to make it so Barack Obama doesn't get re-elected and no Democrat ever will be elected into the White House.
"This is why Wisconsin's so important" -- Walker wins, Obama in turn loses, and it's the end of the world as we know it.
Two days later, Schultz was crooning a different tune. More accurately, he was part of a liberal chorus singing the same line, that of Walker winning in Wisconsin hardly mattering at all. Silly you, why would you have ever thought otherwise? (audio)
I get a kick out of the Twitter world 'cause they're working me over saying, oh, it's going to be fun to watch Eddie, he'll be crying in his beer, whatever. No I'm not! No, no, there's no downside about this recall any way, shape or form. Obviously we want Walker to be thrown out because he's a radical and he's not good for America. But look at the other side. They are throwing millions of dollars at a guy who is on the verge of being indicted for a felony. Now, how are they going to feel, win lose or draw, when this happens?
Two years into a fishing expedition by a partisan district attorney whose office is filled with like-minded Democrats, who'd think an indictment of Walker would have happened by now. Rest assured, if it never does, Schultz will claim "no downside" to that either. Whatever it takes for Schultz to save face, regardless of the contortions that ensue.

Submitted by ThisnThat on Mon, 06/04/2012 - 7:36pm.
48 hours to completely change positions? That's a lifetime in a Democrat's mind. Nobody on the left has any real sense of history. They only wait until the latest talking point is fed to them, and as soon as it arrives, that's what defines reality-as-we-know-it to them. By now, they don't even remember Ed's earlier rant, and if you told them it happened, they'd call you a liar. I'd hate to be a dim.

Hey, Ed! Would you please explain how this possibly could be a bad thing? If the Democrat Party goes the way of the Communist Party of the United States of America, that would be the best thing for us since the Bill of Rights.
"Whatever it takes for Schultz to save face, regardless of the contortions that ensue." Mr. Coleman, have you taken a look at that face? Why would Special Ed WANT to save it? Any insurance company would write it off as a total loss.

Maybe a crowd not more than 2-3 people deep behind him and I'd say 100- 150 people who showed up to rally with him? Back during the heat of this when they stormed the capitol, he had 1000-1500 union people screaming on his show.
You know what? KUDOS to Ed for having ONE REPUBLICAN Wisconsin Rep on tonight who remained calm and cool despite the hostile interview from Ed and the crowds booing him and the fact he was ganged up by 4 or 5 liberal Reps. The Republican did most of the talking and wasn't flustered for one second. Shultz WAS flustered while the guy was speaking.

Scott Walker's Recall, a Battle for Sanity

Scott Walker's Recall, a Battle for Sanity
Tuesday, June 5th might be the day that determines the future of the state of Wisconsin and offers a glimpse of America’s future post-November 6th.
The results of the misbegotten, hugely expensive, recall election of the Badger State’s duly elected Republican governor at the instigation of Big Labor and civil service unions will effectively serve as a barometer of nationwide voter sentiment on economic realities, despite Democrat efforts to play down the significance of the outcome.
At this late stage, with conservative Scott Walker leading liberal Tom Barrett by as many as eight percentage points in various polls, it appears Walker will still be the governor after the dust settles and the ballots are honestly counted. Democrats are notorious for minimizing the importance of contests they think they will lose, a habit perfectly illustrated by their president’s failure to support their candidate or even visit Wisconsin in the closing days of the election.
The state’s Republican Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch nailed the truth of the significance of a probable Walker victory: “How can they [Obama's Democrat Party] possibly spin this? There is no consolation prize here. It’s clear–the path to prosperity is paved with fiscal responsibility. And everyone shares in prosperity.”
The supreme irony in the unprecedented recall attempt is that Walker was elected primaily on his pledge to return his state to fiscal sanity after years of Democrat reckless spending. To the chagrin of Democrats and their union supporters, Walker has largely fulfilled that pledge and they despise him for his achievement.
The Wisconsin recall has been described as “the battle of our times,” which it is and isn’t.
It is undoubtedly a battle.
Last spring, the nation witnessed the disgraceful lengths to which Walker’s opponents would go in that battle when teachers abandoned their classrooms in order to trash the Capitol building in Madison, slander and threaten the governor and his family, employing tactics more befitting Third Worlders than Americans.
Complementing those mindless displays, Democrat legislators literally ran away from their legislative responsibilities in Madison and state troopers had to be sent to round them up.
For the second time in two years, this election pits . . .

"Special Ed" has not had a coherent moment in his career (I can not speak to his youth). He is unfamilar with the concept of honesty or logic and has no credibility outside of the far left Kool-Aid crowd. His lack of civility and corruption is well documented which is also why his credibility is non existant.
If the public relations firm known s MSNBC does not keep him employed he would at best qualify for a job at McDonalds, maybe janitor because no one would want him engaging or serving the customer.
The people involved in the Walker Recall thing have many of the same problems as "Special Ed". They have more than proven their corruption and desire for power over the truth or the good of the people. The union thugs have been and will continue to provide the muscle for intimidation but they are at least understandable, they benifit from the corruption of the state officials.

So Schultz actually touted wasting money as a benefit of this recall election? I'm not surprised, of course, but I'm sure he would be singing a different tune if the exact same political tactic was being used against his party's candidates... and down the road, that may be exactly what happens in states that allow recall votes.
