MSNBC's Schultz: Scott Walker 'Sucks'

By Mark Finkelstein | November 28, 2011 | 22:31

A  A

With penetrating political analysis like this, no wonder Ed Schultz has been named one of the least influential people alive . . .

On his MSNBC show this evening, discussing the recall effort in Wisconsin, Schultz said that Republican Governor Scott Walker "sucks." Video after the jump.

Watch Schultz once again drag political discourse down into the sewer.

ED SCHULTZ: The people think that losing 9,700 jobs last month in October was not a real good thing. This is why Walker is being recalled. So in the midst of all the conversation: recall, recall, recall--everybody fired up about recalls--this is why they're doing it. I mean the guy sucks. He's terrible. The people in Wisconsin can't stand this guy. He's going in the wrong direction.

Ed is a boob.

I'm not talking about the "holy cow did you see those" neck breaker kind, but more along the lines of "that guy is capable of breathing and that's about it" kind.

I guess if all you can do is throw bombs, using facts get in the way of that range of motion.

Canary in the coal mine

Submitted by Guapo Diablo on Mon, 11/28/2011 - 10:47pm.

Any time Schultz and the majority of the ilk at MSNBC are making a stink about a Republican, they're obviously doing something right.

Reminds me of the Ted Kennedy rule. Whenever Kennedy was screaming and slobbering, skin turned purple and veins bulging out on the Senate floor, a Republican had just offered up a really good idea.

Eddie, buddy. The nationwide

Submitted by rammingspeed on Mon, 11/28/2011 - 10:56pm.

Eddie, buddy. The nationwide unions ginned up the recall because Walker took away collective bargaining from public employee unions. There is now open employment, whereby you don't HAVE to join the union. Public employees now have to pay 5% toward their pensions, when they paid 0% before. They now have to pay 12% of their insurance premium, where they paid 0% before. It was impossible to fire incompetent workers, because of the collective bargaining stranglehold. There's more. And it's adding up to saving multiple millions of dollars for Wisconsin taxpayers. Walker is also reducing a $3.6 billion debt accrued by the previous (Democrat) governor.

Oh, one more thing, Eddie buddy - SHUT THE F UP!

'It was impossible to fire incompetent workers, because of the collective bargaining stranglehold.

I'm sorry to hear this. A true confession on part of a anti-union advocate by the looks of the message. Wisconsin will no longer be keeping any INCOMPETENT workers to fill the government/union ranks. What will ever become of that fine state?

Sorry for the bad news, but I'm sure you'll muddle on!!

So be adult, fix the root problem, get pilloried. Got it.

The government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

Loser Ed

Submitted by Kleenex on Tue, 11/29/2011 - 5:36am.

Ed will make sure the opposite happens. Walker is moving up in the polls and will continue to. He'll probably get re-elected and the recall effort will peter out. Unlike blow hard Ed, Walker can present results.

Schultz is the true face of the Democrat Party. They manufacture lies about their opponents and deny any faults of their COMRADS. According to them, they are angels and we are demons; They are smart and we are dumb; They have compassion and we have greed. If anyone sucks, its Schultz and his Commiecrat pals!

It does not reflect upon Obama in any way. Those job losses are the fault of Bush, tsunamis and the "Arab Spring". Obama has been working tirelessly, will not rest and has a laser focus on jobs. As soon as the band stops playing and he gets off that tee shot, then you'll see what wonders Obama can perform!

Job Loss in October

Submitted by ronljl on Tue, 11/29/2011 - 12:25pm.

I wonder if any of those 'city' folk at the MSNBC studio's ever had a job on a farm. Wisconsin and many other states in the union lose several thousand jobs every OCT/NOV due to the end of harvest. Of course Walker probably wasn't given any credit for the thousands of cheese heads that went to work in August/Sept at the beginning of harvest.

Happens every year whether you're a Red state or a Blue state.

Dip S---!

Ed Shultz.

Human Buffoon.

Obese Pig-Man.

Bloated Imbecile.

The only thing that really "sucks" is that Hoover you have for a mouth and the gallons of lard that you are swallowing day after day.  I thought fat people were supposed to be "jolly", but you are an angry pig-man.

Do you hate yourself because you can't drive past a Taco Bell without snorting 3 tacos?

Do you hate the fact that none of your pants fit without you wearing your man-girdle?

I don't have any problem with your very righteous self-loathing, but stop taking out your self-hatred on everybody else.

Submitted by jawebster1 on Tue, 11/29/2011 - 7:16pm.

Walker is a brave man. He was elected to do a job and if he were someone who "sucks" he would have caved in to his ferocious liberal and union opposition long ago.

It is ironic that this guy works for the one Network that really "sucks". I guess it takes one to know one.
