Schultz Guest: Koch Brothers 'Purchased' Cain So They Could 'Kill More People' With Toxins
How vile is Mike Papantonio? For the second time in three days the trial lawyer-cum-radio host has actually made Ed Schultz look relatively reasonable.
Interviewed by Schultz on his MSNBC show this evening, Papantonio claimed that the Koch brothers had "purchased" Herman Cain in order to be able to "kill more people" with toxins. Video after the jump.
Watch Papantonio: a man for whom there are no words--at least of a sort suitable on a family-friendly site like NewsBusters.
MIKE PAPANTONIO: Ed, [Cain] is just the latest purchase by the Koch brothers. They purchased Michelle Bachmann, they purchased Sarah Palin, for this purpose: it's to go out and talk crazy talk. It's to talk about taking more things away from the middle class and giving more to the rich.
It's about deregulating virtually everything to where the Koch brothers can go ahead and kill more people with their toxins. He is nothing more than a paid mouthpiec. You know what, Ed? They don't really care if Cain wins. All he is is a vehicle for them. Just like Sarah Palin was a vehicle, and Michelle Bachmann. They knew those people would say anything they wanted for the right amount of money. And so when you look at him and you listen to his crazy talk, understand: the Koch brothers don't believe he can win. They know he can't win. But just think of the yardage they get out of buying him for 12 months. They bought a human being for 12 months to talk the crazy talk.

What kind of people are his

What kind of people are his radio producers to allow him to spew that kind of stuff? Shouldn't his family have him committed? This guy is certifiable.
Psycho talk!

Or should they just call it the Pap Smear segment? Eddie should not bash others for "psycho talk" and then put this crazed doofus on the air. The jury is in, lawyer-man. You are not guilty by reason of insanity.

This guy is certifiable. His rantings are lunacy and he should be locked up. He is from Pensacola, FL and is one of those millionares who say they aren't (aka Michael Moore). You should see his house and listen to his local radio program...sheer lunacy I tell you!

Hey Pap-Smear, Where is the proof of this accusation? Who are your sources? Where can we look to as references? Who will go on the record and defend these accusations as the be all, end all in truthfulness and accuracy?
............and the crickets chirp (as usual).

Damn, you did it again.

Why does NewsBusters cut the video and the text before we hear what Schultz had to say in reply? It's a much stronger piece if you show that Schultz did not challenge Papantonio. Why leave people wondering? If Schultz did challenge the guy, which I doubt, we should know.
Bad journalism. Stop doing it. Let the video and the text run a few seconds longer to show what happened.

...Papantonio is wearing a hairpiece to hide the tinfoil hat. Can't let those evil Koch Brothers Toxins™ osmose into his brainpan.
Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

I think it is about time that the people in the media, should be help responsible for their words.
It is one think to hold a view, but when you publish or say something on TV or radio, that is not true, you should be held accountable.
Maybe the time has come for the media to go back in time, when you did not publish something until it was proven true and you can back up your words with true facts
