Schultz: Town Hall Protesters 'Dumber Than Joe The Plumber'

When it comes to insulting people opposed to ObamaCare, you might say Ed Schultz has plumbed new depths . . .

On his MSNBC show this evening, Schultz branded people turning up at town halls as "dumber than Joe the Plumber."  For good measure, he added a variation on the Washington Post's old canard about certain conservatives being "poor, undereducated, and easy to command."

View video here.
ED SCHULTZ: Oh, there's a lot going on.  Tonight: it's an uprising! Angry old white folks are storming into town halls all across the country spewing lies about health care reform.  Let me set the record straight early on: these folks, I think, they're dumber than Joe the Plumber.
. . .
SCHULTZ: Mr. President, you have the people behind you. I've done enough of these [town halls] to know that there's a fraction of Americans out there who are, you know, the old right wing, they're playing on the old, angry white uneducated misinformed Americans to go out there and carry the torch in the Republican party right now.  To shake it up to defeat.  That's why they use "failure." This is how they're trying to generate it!

SPECIAL ED...

Big Eddie needs to understand that his broadcasting career is only slightly better then his professional football career. He played half a season with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League.

What I want to know is this...Does Ed suck worse on radio or TV? I can't decide, so I'll say both.

 

"...How blind can you be, don't you see...

...that the gambler lost all he does not have..."  

Nightwish

Does Ed.....

Does Ed suck as bad on radio? I don't know but I'll add this: We've all heard the statement "I've got a face that is meant for radio!" Well this guy has a face and body that even radio can barely tolerate! Furthermore, I've heard he has a pilot's license. That being the case, I can tell you that not all pilots are smart. There is a small minority that have the intelligence of a rock. I direct a few thousand of them at an air show every year and can document these facts. The point is, every once in a while a fat butted liberal such as Lollipop Ed manages to slip through the sifter[Actually, he was so fat, he fell out of the sifter].

ed

Hey Ed feel that hot breath of O'Donnell on the back of your neck? Afterall, you got the job after subbing for Shyster, and LOWERED the ratings. Performance, ED, Performance. Challenging Rush and calling him "druggie" with you guy being an ex blow user/dealer isn't ,what people who know the word, good strategy. Your lying, given your outlet location we just accept as msdnc SOP, but you got to get beyond the delusion your Rush's professional equal.

Every time I see a picture of Ed Schultz I think "MORON"

Every time I see a picture of Ed Schultz I think "MORON"

He looks like moron.  Just sayin' . . .

 

UPDATE: If Newsbusters would stop listening to track what this clown says, half his audience would be gone!

Now now now, Free Stinker

I don't know if we should sink to the same level as that MORON Ed Schultz lives in, by calling the MORON Ed Schultz a MORON, just because the MORON Ed Schultz see fit to act like a MORON that the MORON is, so let's let the MOROAN act like a MORON on his own MORONIC terms.

jus saying..

(;~> gary 

 

 

Gary

LOL!

 

You're correct of course.

It isn't Ed's fault that he was born a MORON.  It's his fault that he works to be more of a MORON, but that's another issue . . .

ed schultz

ethe arrogance, the elitism,the racism, the haughtiness, the holier than though.....spewing from Schultz....it is beyond amazing.  His comments sound a lot like...."Let them eat cake!"  Let's call little Eddie - Marie, from now on!       Based on all the hysterical reactions from the left and the media to real Americans voicing their legitimate concerns......my gut says that the left is very scared!    I was at a town hall today - no mob, no shoutdowns!, but the right was there in force and educated and involved....and the (paid) left was there with their manufactured signs.....looking clueless.     FREEDOM!!!!

Exactly

I totally agree with the "let them eat cake" statement. It seems like everytime  Nancy "Antoinette" Pelosi opens her pie hole, I think about the  French Revolution. Hopefully we can take the guillotine out for a spin soon.

What a maroon.

Isn't

Ed like the Cliff Clavin of broadcasting? Always talking about subjects he has absolutely no clue, running off at the pie hole, blowing more bs than a Havana radio station.

Did I miss a friggin' meeting again.

   Kathleen Troia "K.T." McFarland was on Cavuto talking about the death of buttullah mehsud.

   Obama is doing one thing right. He is pounding on these guys in Pakistan. In the last few weeks, we have taken out OBL's son and the guy that killed Bhutto and was looking to take over Pakistan and use it's nukes against us. He has been hiding for months. He poked his head out on a rooftop and BOOM, he was taken out.

  We are finally putting the hurt on these guys. It is really bad when you look at open air as being problematic.

  And yet no one can discuss the one good thing our President is doing because everything has to be how they can push this healthcare crap down our throat.

  I am 46. I think it is time for me to retire. I am officially fed up.
 

Sincerely,

a Veteran of a 1000 psychic wars.

Well, dumber than Joe

 

Being 'dumber than Joe' wouldn't necessarily be all that bad.

On the other hand, 'being dumber than schultz' would be a near impossibility.

It is still possible to be that stupid but you have to dig past the worm level into the layer with the basic one celled bacteria that keeps the roots fed.

Thank you.

Oh please

This guy isn't qualified to even wipe Rush Limbaugh's ass. His ignorance is painful. I guess even though I have a master's degree I'm a stupid, poor, undereducated conservative. 

When they start spouting stuff like this -- and when Nancy Pelosi starts calling people who protest the government "un-American" (which she would have balked about a year or two ago, since the shoe was on the other foot), you know they're really running scared. They're all about to lose their asses in this next election, and they know it.

Dumber Than Joe?

Dear Mr. Ed, you should be so lucky as to be as SMART as JOE the PLUMBER! It takes skill, Intelligience, Planning, and Know How to be a plumber! To do a liberal talk show merely requires a Big Mouth [And in your case an equally BIG BEHIND!] and a daily recitation on the DNC talking points! Joe the Plumber and others are capable of carrying on an intelligent conversation with one another. You, sir, are merely a Big Bag of Smelly Gas! 

this guy is unreal.

wow is this guy struggling-

yes there are angry folks out there-after reading the bill-any American should be angry.why do they need access to my Bank account.Pg 58/59.are they dumb white folks-maybe so-but are they wrong??are they educated white folks ,maybe so, are they wrong?why will the Congress ansd Senate want the same program?

        Schultz is a racist. I may be dumb but at least I don't work at PMSNBC! Most of our elected servants can't read, so I'm smarter than they are. I don't have to look over my shoulder, wondering if someone has me in their cross hairs, so I'm smarter than Schultz is. Hey, Schultz, you can stop sucking up, all the jobs at the obama company have been taken...                                 Congress hasn't earned any respect.                                                                                                                                                        

Joe is brilliant!

Joe the Plumber is actually quite brilliant. As a citizen journalist, he asked the single best question of the entire 2008 Presidential campaign, shaming that New York/DC set that call themselves journalists. The Bamster's answer to that questioned shaped the rest of McCain's campaign against him, and if not for the AIG meltdown McCain might have won the election because of Joe.

Oh, no.  I'm really hurt

Oh, no.  I'm really hurt that an inconsequential, fat pant load like Ed Schultz claims that I am uneducated and misinformed.  I guess I'll just have to bite my lip and accept it.

I'm not impressed by them claiming the votes or opinions of senoir citizens and Christians concerned about abortion have been purchased with a hand full of silver from the insurance companies. If that were true then it would be major news that they sold their souls ... it is not, If you want to find Judas look in the Senate - they sell they votes. Seniors and Christians do not. - Liars

Now they want to call those who are see through Obama's Media Network and realize that it is all fantasy ... Now they call those people foolish because they don't buy into the lies.
