Anti-Worker Schultz Sides With Bosses Against Juan Williams
Whatever happened to Ed Schultz's solidarity with the working man? Isn't that supposed to be the essence of Schultz's shtick? But on his MSNBC show this evening, Ed played the paid-by-management Pinkerton, busting his nightstick over the head of . . . Juan Williams.
Proclaimed anti-worker Ed: "when you fire somebody: it's over, move on. Don't go back over spilled milk."
Ed Schultz, tool of the bosses--who knew? Video after the jump.
Marvel at anti-worker Ed threatening to withhold donations from NPR for the sin of apologizing for firing Juan Williams.
ED SCHULTZ: NPR [is] back-pedaling over the Juan Williams firing . . . I don't understand why NPR is apologizing for anything. According to the letter [from NPR CEO Vivian Schiller], Williams had a history of bad behavior in the workplace.
[Wait a second, Ed. Don't tell me you're going to take the unsubstantiated word of a boss over a worker, are you?]
SCHULTZ: Republicans claim to be the party of business and personal responsibility, and they're defending a problem employee? What a joke. And as for the CEO, President of NPR: stand up. You don't have to answer to any of these people for anything . . . In Business 101--and the Republicans are great at this--when you make a decision, and you fire someone, it's over, move on. Don't go back over spilt milk and start Monday-morning quarterbacking your own decision, because then people you're working with are going to start losing confidence in you.
[Gotcha Ed: good to know. When management fires anyone in the future, we know you'll be there to have their back.]
And as someone who is thinking about giving to NPR: I don't know! I don't know. I want them to run a good ship. This isn't running a good ship.
[You've convinced us, Ed: we're not going to be giving to NPR, either ;-)]

This is a molten hot issue for the Right. The Conservative leadership HAS to keep the heat on this topic. Demand that NPR explain again and again why it is they fired a black journalist who supported them for years. Demand to know why they wouldn't look him in the eye. Demand to know why they fired him over the phone. Demand that they expalin 'All Things Considered'. Demand that they defned their snobby elite Liberal wine and brie crowd.
Mostly, demand that the CPR lose it's taxpayer funding.

National Pub[]ic Regurgitation is all NPR HAS BEEN for years. And in those years, never have they gotten a cent from me wilingly, only that which has been conficated by the federal government. NPR is a perfect example of wealth redistribution. They are too poor a product to compete in the marketplace, so they turn to the fed to be propped up.

It isn't just because Juan
Submitted by MidAmerica on Mon, 10/25/2010 - 9:27pm.
It isn't just because Juan appeared on FOX. It's also because he is Black and was not merely spouting official Black person talking points as say an Al Sharpton.
Juan is not the angry oppressed Black which is the only officially approved persona sanctioned by White Liberals. Liberal heads had to be near explosion watching Juan guest host the O'Reily Factor
. And probably the biggest sins by Juan was the obvious respect (in spite of disagreements) shown Juan by the conservative Whites that Juan appeared with. This undercut one of the biggest myths perpetrated by the Left in that all conservatives are mouth breathing racists. The good folks at NPR could not let this go on. Now Juan can be pushed off into the corner as just a tool of the Right-wingers and not a serious voice.

You're right, MA....this is why I always say that black isn't a skin color, it's a set of political beliefs.
Juan has taken grief before for not toeing the liberal line; one time being called a "porch monkey" for it. (I'm always amazed by the variety of insults blacks have for their own who stray too close to the side of the white devils).
This is about as idiotic as what I heard...

Bob Beckle say tonight on Hannity--that the firing of Juan Williams was "illiberal".
ILLIBERAL!!!
What rock has Beckle been living under?
What NPR did to Williams was incontrovertibly consistent with the liberal scorched earth policy of silencing those that disagree with them. First, they character assassanate their opposition, and if that doesn't work, they will use their power to silence them altogether.
Beckle then accused Republicans of being the ones who, if given the opportunity, would govern as fascists!
Incredible!
It was Obama who rammed Obamacare through, ignoring the will of the people, and the Republicans are the fascists???

Finally, he said that it took time for MediCare to be accepted, so it will take time for Obamacare to be accepted. But his premise is as idiotic as his "illiberal" comment.
The reason MediCare is "accepted", is/was because it has become a kind of legalized healthcare CRACK. The first hit was free. Once you're hooked on it -- once you've invested your entire future into it-- then, yes, it is "accepted", only because those who depend on it in their old age have no other choice. Their government CRACK dealers promise to continue to supply "product".
But what happens when that government CRACK dealer runs out of product? What does the user do then?
They vote for those who will continue to supply them.
It's time to dry out. It's time to create a sustainable alternative where government CRACK dealers are ousted.

He only wishes he'd be canned from whatever else he does besides spew liberal talking points on Fox, and then be so well-rewarded as Juan was by the Fox management.
Bob surely needs the money....he sports the absolute worst dye job on the tube. Pathetic, to coin a phrase.

Just listne to him when he attacks someone. The venom just drips from him, and what comes across in his tone is not anger, it's downright hate.

In a sane and rational business environment Big Eddie would have been escorted from the premises by security and management would have simply "moved on”.
Evidently sanity and rational thought are nonexistent at MSNBC. As if we needed any more evidence.
And, “…thinking of giving to NPR…”?
Why you cheapskate, skinflint bastard, you mean to tell us-- with that bloated salary you’ve been raking in for the last few years-- you haven’t been giving to NPR.
