Enraged over Republican opposition to ObamaCare, on The Ed Show on MSNBC Wednesday, host Ed Schultz screamed at viewers: "The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead! They’d rather make money off your dead corpse! They kind of like it when that woman has cancer and they don’t have anything for her."

The woman Schultz was referring to was a relative of a woman who asked Republican Congressman Eric Cantor a question at a health care town hall in Virginia. Cantor replied to the woman, Patricia Churchill, by mentioning charitable care. After playing the question and Cantor’s response, Schultz launched into a diatribe: "This is a classic, because when you present the Republicans and the obstructionists with a real-life scenario, they don’t have an answer.... they’re great at holding up the socialism, the communism, the Marxism, all kinds of ’isms, but they don’t have an answer for that woman...Americans, you can’t trust Eric Cantor!"

At one point, Schultz cited health care in the international community: "I was watching the U.N. coverage today here on MSNBC....I wish I had gone over there with a camera and done an international man on the street or leader on the street and asked them if they do health care in their country the way we do it here. But I know the answer. It’s no. We like to butcher people who have got cancer that don’t fall in the correct percentage point."

Schultz went on to denounce any effort by Democrats to work with Republicans on reform: "My God, Democrats! What’s wrong with you?! You can’t deal with these people! At all!"

Here is a full transcript of Schultz’s outrageous rant:

6:00PM

ED SCHULTZ: Eric Cantor’s suggestion that if the public option were off the table, heck, all the Republicans, they’d be on board with health care reform. Annt! Another lie. The Republicans want one thing, do not forget this my friends, and that is failure. They will blame the public option until the public option is dead and then they’ll blame something else. They want to dismantle reform. They’ll never work with the Democrats on this. Now, here’s another dandy from Mr. Cantor, himself. Just a couple of days ago, the Congressman holding one of his, well, his only health care town hall in the state of Virginia. A woman named Patricia Churchill stood up and told this story. Here it is.

PATRICIA CHURCHILL: I have a very close relative, a woman in her early 40s, who did Have a wonderful, high-paying job, owns her own home and was a real contributing member of society. She lost her job. Just a couple of weeks ago she found out that she has tumors in her belly and that she needs an operation. Her doctors told her that they are growing and that she needs to get this operation quickly. She has no insurance.

ERIC CANTOR: I guess I would ask what the situation is in terms of income eligibility and the existing programs that are out there, because if we look at the uninsured right now, there is probably 23%, 24% of the uninsured that is already eligible for an existing government program. Beyond that, I know that there are programs, there are charitable organizations, there are hospitals here who do provide charity care.

SCHULTZ: That is a classic, my friends. Did you get all of that? A woman’s got stomach issues. She’s got cancer. She needs surgery now. This is a classic, because when you present the Republicans and the obstructionists with a real-life scenario, they don’t have an answer. They’re still talking percentages. How would you like to be in the percentage where you’re left out? You’re just SOL? That’s their reform. That’s their answer. You know, they’re great at holding up the socialism, the communism, the Marxism, all kinds of ’isms, but they don’t have an answer for that woman. She’s just at the wrong spot at the wrong time, and we’ve got to talk about the redistribution of wealth.

You know, I was watching the U.N. coverage today here on MSNBC, and all the speeches that were given. And they took a wide shot of all the different diplomats and leaders of the countries that were there, and I wish I had gone over there with a camera and done an international man on the street or leader on the street and asked them if they do health care in their country the way we do it here. But I know the answer. It’s no. We like to butcher people who have got cancer that don’t fall in the correct percentage point.

So here’s my point. Americans, you can’t trust Eric Cantor! Cantor’s response speaks volumes about how inept the Republicans are and how they are simply not solution-based. Charity? Is that what he said? This woman can’t get a government program. She’s in her early 40s. She’s too young for Medicare. She doesn’t qualify for Medicaid, but there’s always charity, or what the heck? You can go to the hospital and plead your case and say, ‘well, you know, I’m broke.’ Cantor should know that there’s no such thing as a free lunch in health care. The hospital passes the costs on to the other patients or they pass it on to the insurance companies and then they pass it on to you and me in some form of a higher premium. And that’s how the hell we got started in this whole debate in this country in the first place about health care reform.

Hold it right there! The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead! They’d rather make money off your dead corpse! They kind of like it when that woman has cancer and they don’t have anything for her. That’s how the insurance companies make money. By denying the coverage. My God, Democrats! What’s wrong with you?! You can’t deal with these people! At all! But it's socialism. But it’s about taxes. Let’s get to the larger issue here. Cantor thinks that there are more important issues than a life or death thing for that woman. You know, there’s the pressing issue of amendments over on the Senate side that he hasn’t said anything about like, ‘hey, man, let’s go after ACORN.’ What do you say we make sure we don’t have any czars in health care reform.

When is enough enough!    Why can't we get enough consumers to make a difference.....     maybe not reporting the garbage that comes out of MSNBC....  these folks make me sick to my stomach....  and what's more scary their viewers (however small there are) believe this garbage

 

Recycle congress and all lefty pundits!   

maybe...

you just cant stand it when a corrupt, money grubbing republican like eric cantor is made to look like an idiot for not caring about human life, and instead, wanting a cancer patient to get "charity" to be treated in a hospital instead of affordable healthcare. that is what LITERALLY makes american people sick to their stomach... not being taken care of because the republican party wants to back the insurance companies instead of the american people.

You make me laugh because you are an idiot. Have you met

your other friend "I love Ted Kennedy"?  He's a wackjob, as well.

"the republican party wants

"the republican party wants to back the insurance companies"

Huh? Hey guess who the ONLY presidential candidate Unitedhealth's PAC gave $5,000 to?

C'mon tell me.

I say, I say boy.....

Already banned and didn't answer my question.

The answer is Hillary Clinton

You're going to be FUN.

Want to see who's really in bed with healthcare insurance companies?

"By selecting former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) to head the Health and Human Services Department, Barack Obama is tapping the expertise of a man whose political campaigns in the public sector and salary in the private sector have been paid, in part, by the health care industry."

(Daschle has written that Americans, like Europeans, should be more willing to 'accept hopeless diagnoses' and not pursue extraordinary (and expensive) treatment...in other words, to die quietly.)

How about this?

"It’s been a wild roller coaster ride for the White House this week, as it sought to clamp down on a mini-revolt by some lawmakers enraged at the reported terms of a deal reached with the drug industry in return for its support of President Obama’s health care reform."

"According to the New York Times, despite a shaky few days, PhRMA and the White House have made up and the drug industry is now set to launch a $150 million television advertising blitz supporting Obama’s health care reform, due to begin in August."

Or this?

"Chances are you probably don't know who Nancy De Parle is, after all she has avoided the public eye and the media simply has not discussed her. But maybe now is good time to learn more about the woman who will be charged with implementing and enforcing the Health Care legislation that the White House and Congress are attempting to implement."

Nancy DeParle has made over $6 million from connections to the healthcare industry. Now she is expected to represent the American people in its dealings with that same industry.

Or this?

"President Obama and David Axelrod are working in concert with massive pharmaceutical companies to push through Congress the largest political payoff in history, with the enactment of Obamacare.  The enormous government plan is designed, as Obama himself has said, to cut costs to the government attributed in some degree to unnecessary surgeries at the end of ones life, where instead perhaps the senior citizen should just "take a pill."

Tell us again who's 'backing insurance companies instead of the American people'.

Nationalized Healthcare is a DEATH SENTENCE.

FoghornLeghorn, excuse me sir but the Dumocrats don't need the Republicans to shove Obamacare down our throats.  So why don't you go speak to your leaders and ask them why they are letting this poor woman go without treatment.

The American people don't want Obamacare.  That is why the Dumocrats haven't passed it already.  Because they know that there will be no Republicans voting for Obamacare and when it fails (which it will) the Dumocrats will get all the glory. 

Money Grubbers?

The corrupt money grubbers are your Communist buddies in the "Un-American" Democrat party! They have destroyed my small business causing the loss of jobs for a few good people, cost me over thousands of dollars, and now they are destroying the healthcare system in America while building their cadre of trial liars, er, lawyers! I am tired of your Communist party yelling me to do as I say, not as I do! If they cared so much for the "Poor, unisured American, why aren't they willing to give them the same policy that they enjoy? Why? Because they think they are better than all of us! If this so called plan that your Tele-Prez Messiah is so good, why isn't he and Congress included in the package? Because its inferior, thats why! For your information the Commiecrats outnumber the Repubs two to one in Congress! I am sick of listening to you whining, crying, lazy libs insulting people with more character and principle on the tip of their finger than you guys have in your whole liberal, Communist, insurgent bodies! Come after me, you little weenie! I want a piece of you!

geez, fond memories

Reminds me of when the Republicans took Congress in 1994 and thereafter the lib-loons came out of the woodwork like this, who was that older black congressman who was practically screaming "They are coming for the poor!" about the Republicans.

He also told the story of how sharks regularly traverse the old slave-ship route out of a habit developed during the slave trade days when slaves who died on board were tossed overboard.

Liberals can say the most insane crap and get kudos for it, while conservatives get lambasted for making sense.

looking at cantor...

reminds me of why the republican's lost the election, lost more seats in congress, and continue to become more and more of a minority in the country. at this pace, they are just handing over 2010 and 2012 to the democrats. keep on keeping on, wingnuts!

So you are saying that Special Ed is now pulling material from the Kos for his show? If this is so, this would make the second "front line" host using crap from whack-job leftist web sites. BathTubBoy uses plenty of material from Kos, DU, & MediaMatters. So it looks like Ed is on that track, & why not? He can't be expect to come up with own material.

There is someone over at mediabiestro/tvnewser that "appears to be Ed Schultz, goes by the name of 'Big Ed", & talks as if he is the big dumb Ed we all know & love. Might be that guy. I don't think BathTubBoy would troll around here. He likes to be noticed, & his postings at Kos show that to some extent. He would'nt dink around this site, not his cup of tea. I do believe he looks around, he does'nt like critical comments made about him. He seems like he wants to know everything being said about him, anywhere. But I don't think he would troll here.

I, unfortunately, had to quit drinking.

I went to donate blood and they turned me down.

When I quit, Jack Daniels had layoffs...and our local Sheriff's Office had a hiring freeze.

The financial impact on the US economy of the subsequent plunge in Jack Daniels and Budweiser stock prices may have played an instrumental part in the recession of the early 1990s.

I call excremento del toro on this story.  If this woman in her forty's was a well off as this Churchill woman says she is, there is COBRA insurance for her. 

You know, maybe this is just another example of the disintregation of the American family, she's probably divorced (50/50 chance) with no husband around to be able to use his insurance.  I'm just sayin'.

As far as this Schultz character, does anyone else need further proof on just how unbalanced the left is?  Hell, leave him on TV.  Leave 'em all on TV to use as an example for the kids on what not to turn out to be. 

And what happened to that

And what happened to that woman in Oregon State with government health care?  People die all of the time due to one thing or another, in fact we are all gonna die.  My dad is almost 87 and he is in an old folks home with cancer taht is not responding and he is gonna diee soon.  Life ends in death, why dont people get this fact.

Why doesn't this woman

Why doesn't this woman qualify for Medicaid?  Shultz doesn't explain.  Perhaps she isn't as destitute as we are being told.  Perhaps she could sell or mortgage her home to pay for it if she doesn't want to rely on the charity of others.

In a free society we are free to succeed and we are free to fail. And the charity of those who succeed will cover those who are in need.  I suspect that under this type of scenario the poor would be covered many times better than they are covered under socialism.  The problem we have today are government mandates which have choked off health care and caused premiums to go up and up.

Also take note that under socialist health care cancer mortality rates jump because people are unable to get the fast care they need.

Regarding charity--why is

Regarding charity--why is there a stigma attached to money that people want to give (charity) but it's OK to receive tax money that was taken from people (taxes).  It all comes from somebody else's hard work. 

schutlz doesnt explain it...

because newsbusters did not show you the full context of the segment where schultz states that the woman is not eligible for medicaid. however, the quote is on the article. here is the part you are referring to that newsbusters left out of the clip:

"This woman can’t get a government program. She’s in her early 40s.
She’s too young for Medicare. She doesn’t qualify for Medicaid, but
there’s always charity, or what the heck? You can go to the hospital
and plead your case and say, ‘well, you know, I’m broke.’"

Another NB thread spoke of...

...a woman who went to an ER suffering with lupus.

She had no health insurance.

According to the story, three doctors worked on her to stabilize her, she spent six months in the hospital, underwent 25 operations, and left the hospital alive...still without health insurance.

Ed Schulz is a lying POS...and clinically insane to boot.

Nationalized Healthcare is a DEATH SENTENCE.

Tailgunner, for those who

Tailgunner, for those who aren't aware (you may well be aware), since 1986 no person may be denied emergency medical care in a US hospital, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. Period.

The law which covers this service is called The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA). There were enforcement issues in the early years of the law, but in the last ten years or so, it's been more rigorously enforced, (though not perfectly enforced).

Here's a site with the basic information:

http://www.aaem.org/...

As we know, the national media and whack job commentators don't mention this law, because it takes away from Obama's propaganda campaign that "people are dying" because they don't have health insurance.

No citizen's right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, or property is safe as long as Obama is President of the United States.

okay, and...

how does that cover the people who are suffering from cancer and disabilities that need long-term treatment? you think they can just walk into an emergency medical care clinic and be treated whenever they feel like it? and their problems aren't "emergency" related. as i said, they involve long-term treatment, for example, physical therapy or other forms of recovery. an emergency clinic is of no help to someone like that.

foghorn, there are a number

foghorn, there are a number of avenues to pursue if a cancer patient cannot afford treatment for all the reasons discussed here. For the benefit of those who may be in this situation, I'll list some of them. Hospitals do a pretty good job helping patients find resources, which include no cost treatment (happens a lot more than people think).

---------------------------------------------

Government Programs

1. Government agencies are often the first place to consider for financial assistance. Medicaid is often one of the first programs considered at social services. This program covers medical expenses and often leaves nothing for the family or individual to pay out of pocket. Other programs, such as aid to the needy and disabled, social security or social security disability, might be able to offset some treatment costs.

Veterans and Cancer Treatment

2. If the patient was a veteran, seek out cancer-treatment programs that provide veterans and their dependents with access to services for early detection and treatment for cancer.

Indigent Care Programs

3. Some states offer indigent care programs or financial assistance programs based on the ability to pay. These programs offer health care on a sliding-scale fee. Note, however, that not all states or hospitals offer indigent care.

Hill-Burton

4. Hill-Burton is a federal program that provides money to hospitals, which in turn provide reduced or free services to those who cannot afford them. Online directories list hospitals and clinics participating in the Hill-Burton program.

Hospital and Physician Assistance Programs

5. Discuss your finances with the billing department at the hospital and doctor's office, and see if they can reduce the cost or write off the cost of treatment. Larger hospitals and university hospitals often have a budget to support more robust financial-assistance programs. Many hospitals donate care to improve their image within the community, so become familiar with what programs they have available.

Private Foundations

6. Private foundations often provide programs that offer financial assistance. Cancercare.org, the American Cancer Society, and the Susan G. Komen Foundation provide assistance or offer resources to help those who cannot afford the cost of their medical expenses.

Considerations

7. There are numerous ways to get financial assistance. By contacting associations with a specific diagnosis, you will increase your chances of finding appropriate funding sources. Even though the cost of cancer treatment has risen, it does not mean you or your loved one should avoid treatment.

okay...

so ONE example you bring up about a woman surviving is supposed to mean what? that every other person out there will be fine without health insurance? dont cherry pick ONE person to try and rationalize the need for good healthcare, and act like that will be the case for all people. there are millions and millions of people in america dying of cancer and other pre existing conditions because they cant get insurance. why dont you consider their struggles instead?

that woman got lucky, at best, that she survived. and you claim that she had 25 operations... do you know how much that must have cost her? if she had affordable healthcare with insurance, she wouldnt have to pay so much out of pocket. now, i dont know the specifics of the story regarding this woman you are referring to, but im almost sure the 25 operartions made her broke. if she had insurance, it wouldnt have. case closed.

and you have been unable to prove or point out a reason as to why schultz is a liar or insane. that is your opinion that you cant even show evidence for. obviously, it is because of your hatred for liberals and because he is one, which is supposedly a sin these days.

You obviously do not

You obviously do not comprehend the nature of insurance and its concept of risk.

TAANSTAAFL!

"because newsbusters did

"because newsbusters did not show you the full context of the segment
where schultz states that the woman is not eligible for medicaid."

Then apparently you didn't read the whole piece, because that part is in there. The question was why doesn't she qualify? 

If she did qualify though, according to Ed, apparently it would be ok for her to take the time to apply for medicaid, but it would be completely unnacceptable for her to take the time to apply for charity treatment.

that the democrats are trying to get bi-partisan votes from olympia snowe and others in the republican party. and also, there are a handful of blue dogs who are NOT in favor of the public option (hence why the baucus bill doesnt have it)... and that would come up short on 60 votes. so the next time you criticize someone for not pointing something out, do a little more research so that you know why they didnt.

good to know...

but to claim that the democrats can easily get 60 votes is untrue. there are too many blue dogs that are throwing a fit over it because they dont want to turn their backs on the insurance companies, who will obviously get hit hard with a public option. not to mention, a lot of them have received funds from the insurance companies, including obama himself.

oh...

you know it smalltimer. i figured i would interrupt all you nutjobs gushing over each other complaining about the terrible, eeeevil leebrul media that is threatening your very existence.

Obvious you've been here before FL.

Guess you're seeing how long you can last this time...fun, fun, fun.

Who was that troll who couldn't figure out how to use the shift button to start a sentence with a capital letter?

I remember one from way back, but can't remember its name.

I agree with Rush. It's time for Obama to resign.

If you're here just to be cute, it's a waste AND you eat up threads. We seriously debate stuff back and forth with liberals. What have you got for us?

What you're doing now is just immature get-your-rocks-off stuff, and you wouldn't be the first, either.

You obviously took the time to sign-up and waited patiently to be approved and become a new NB member, so make the most of it.

Vicious sticky troll goo.....issy doombo!

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

you should know...

since you are probably eating the trail of nuts leading to all the nutjobs at newsbusters.

Welcome aboard. Let me introduce you to your bunk-mate, Barry.

Please don't be screaming in the middle of the night. 

Cool, LOL-Yeah, I think HorndogFrogleg is going to stick

I agree with Rush. It's time for Obama to resign.

oh no...

how could you let me bunk with that socialist, marxist, communist kenyan terrorist with his terrorist fist jabs and arab scarfs? that is just torture... i dont know if i can handle it. id rather be waterboarded and interrogated by dick cheney listening to him talk like a mentally challenged darth vader.

Barry just got banned.  You'll have to sleep by yourself tonight.

"The bureaucracy is growing to meet the needs of the growing bureaucracy"

 

why, thank you...

mighty douche. i am glad to be here... i was just so taken by all the intelligent bantor, not to mention bitching and moaning, about the terrible socialist liberal elite media that our kenyan president is so amazingly adored by.

And I never even got a

And I never even got a chance to mock *this* Troll.

Just as well.  Doesn't look like it would have been any challenge at all.

"Mighty Douche"

Well that's a new one on me bigtimer! At least he/she/its got some good ideas. I hope he/she/it doesn't mind if I market that brand. I have a feeling I could sell a boat load of em! Anyhow,probably the only substantial thing we will get out of he/she/it!

‘Republicans Want to See You Dead!’

Well, if he's talking about the government run healthcare bill then yes, we would like it to expire in a puff of fiery smoke in the nearest Congressional trash can.

If liberals are so bent on being ruled over by a totalitarian regime, why in the world do they want to live in the US? It's like they are determined to have someone rule over them and think for them and tell them how to live their lives.

 

"If God is dead, somebody is going to have to take his place. It will
be megalomania or erotomania, the drive for power or the drive for
pleasure, the clenched fist or the phallus, Hitler or Hugh Hefner."
— Malcolm Muggeridge

Ah, but they DON'T want to

Ah, but they DON'T want to be ruled by a totalitarian regime; they want to be the ones ruling a totalitarian regime where they tell others what to think and do while they get to think and do whatever they want.

Those men in little white

Those men in little white coats better get on the move to the msnbc Funny Farm...there are plenty of wild critters there they need to sedate and haul away to the nearest Nuthatch for help...pronto.

Nobody watches dead Ed anyway! Billy Mays (even dead) draws more viewers than this pineapple head!

One Word

Idiot

MATTHEWS FAT SHADOW

ED MAKES FAR MORE  MONEY THAN ANYONE WITH A SINGLE DIDGET I.Q. AND IN FACT HE IS ACTUALLY SMARTER THAN MATTHEWS, OLDER-HAM, AND THE GAY LADY.  IF YOU TOOK THEIR AUDIANCE THAT LOVES TO LAUGH AT THEM AWAY THEY WOULD HAVE MAYBE 3 VIEWERS.  NANCY, BARAT, AND HARRY. I FORGOT R. BURRIS THE  MORON!!!

there is a better chance a 5 year old has a higher IQ than you.

Welcome (again?) to Newsbuster's, troll

My name is Dave, and I was recently promoted to Senior Troll Greater here at NB.

Just want you to know that I hope your stay here with us, regardless of its duration (though judging from your first two posts, I expect it to be rather, ahh, short) will be a pleasant one.

Be sure and let me know if there is anything I can get for ya.

BTW-We don't think too much of spelling Nazis here at NB, so you might want to consider leaving that under whatever bridge you reside under the next time you decide to visit with us here.

See ya round the threads.  :-)

That post of his was just plain rude, immature, typical troll tactics to-boot.

just another bored highschooler I suspect

Hey BT, if you scan the thread for his entries it's pretty obvious he is just some bored little snot that wants to "show 'em" how sharp and witty he (it?) is. Epic fail.

to wit: constant name mangling and snide shots at posters rather than tossing some countervailing fact into the ring

I wonder if he's related to Ed Whats-his-name there? Seems like a family defensive mode set of postings... eh?

Money where their mouth is...

The day I see Schultz and the rest of his "steal from anyone but me" buddies empty their bank accounts for the needy is the day I will believe they give a crap about anyone but themselves.

This guy is just another hypocritical left wing lunatic screaming at an empty audience hall.

 

Wow

     Oh boy....ynow there are three anchors at MSNBC who fly over the cuckoos nest, bats in the belfry, nutty as a fruitcake, etc.  And they are Matthews, Olbermann, and Shultz.

 

 Now Matthews is,  happy crazy.  Yes hes nutty but he seems to be having a good time when hes spewing blithering nonsense.

 

 

Olbermann and Shultz are SCARY crazy.  When Olbermann does his special comments I get the sense that he might whip out an AK 47 and rip up the studio.  And now Shultz!!  A blow up like this is beyond belief,  Republicans want to see you dead,  awful!!

 

 

I hope we all collectively change the channel and put MSNBC out of business permanently.   

Ed Schultz is CLINICALLY INSANE.

Nationalized Healthcare is a DEATH SENTENCE.

Democratic Senator Robert K Byrd is a recruiter and leader in the KU KLUX KLAN-a white supremacist group. Where in the HELL do Dems get off lecturing ANYONE on racism?

AND...

...has a sockpuppet by the name of foghornleghorn!

violent protest alert

Angry protestors stormed the streets of Pittsburgh today, lashing out against Obama's policies and the bank bailout. People were arrested after destroying property and having confrontations with police.

Oh, and by the way - they're liberal anarchists.

Darn that Rush Limbaugh inciting violence on the right!!

 

compare and contrast!

lol.  someone needs to montage a video of that with the Sept 12 DC project.

Conservies protest peacefully. Fringe media claims we will turn violent any day. Wacko hippies protest by breaking windows and throwing rocks at police, video goes viral. Fringe media downplays the violence and goes back to looking for death threats against Obama.

Why is it you liberals carry around so much hatred for your fellow Americans? Is it as some shrinks have suggested, a sure and un-deniable sign of envy?

Admittedly, "compassion"

Admittedly, "compassion" and "Republican" don't go together, and I'm a Republican. I don't expect Republican politicians to give a damn about the American people anymore than the Demorats.  But, they generally interfere with our lives less and take less guff from our enemies.

Perhaps if we didn't have to waste so much of our energy and resources on idiots who make themselves sick with their drugs and their booze, and who zip around out there like a-holes because they think they're Evel Knievel or Mario Andretti, we'd have more resources for those who became ill or who are injured due to no fault of their own.

The Dumocrats on the other hand promise nothing but to make it even harder for people to get help when they need it. They think that if there's some kind of "program" or law that covers something, then that's enough even if it doesn't work.  It's like some kind of weird Libtard indulgence that cleans their consciences and boosts their already inflated egos to new heights of secular humanist self-righteousness.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

Can you imagine the big fun

Can you imagine the big fun Big Ed might have in store for us come sweeps week? 

I can't wait to see how low this clown and his fellow clowns at MSNBC are willing to go to salvage their illusion  of "Hope and Change". Ha! ha! ha!
