Ed Schultz: Facts and Logic Have No Place in GOP - Makes Bachmann Perfect Fit

When possibly the most biased person on television questions your veracity and sanity after you appear in a Republican presidential debate, you know you've done a good job.

It is precisely for that reason Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) should be pleased with being slighted by Ed Schultz who said on the MSNBC program bearing his name Tuesday, "Facts and logic have no place in the Republican Party. That’s why Bachmann I guess you could say is the perfect fit" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

ED SCHULTZ: Bachmann for that matter is exactly what the modern Republican Party is all about. Bachmann has never voted for a tax increase. She believes government is the problem and the free market is going to save everything in America.

Facts and logic have no place in the Republican Party. That’s why Bachmann I guess you could say is the perfect fit. Republican policy has systematically destroyed the middle class in America for years, but Bachmann is her Party’s biggest cheerleader as well.

Isn't there a saying about idiots in glass houses?

And what's to be said about an hour-long program on a so-called "news network" that covered important issues of the day including Monday's Republican presidential debate without any commentary from people on the right side of the aisle?

Schultz's guests Tuesday evening included two Democrats from the state of Wisconsin, two union leaders, a Democrat from New Jersey, a correspondent from Nation magazine as well as that publication's editor.

Including the host, that's eight liberals to no conservatives.

For those that point fingers at Fox News for being biased, at least their prime time programs consistently invite Democrats and left-leaning contributors on to give an opposing viewpoint.

On Tuesday, the only conservatives to be found on "The Ed Show" were the people being eviscerated by the host and his guests.

And MSNBC has the nerve to call this news.

How Long

Submitted by grammajane on Wed, 06/15/2011 - 12:48am.

How long will it be before this clown says something about Bachman that will get him kicked off again. He blabs constantly about Fox being so bias but, all he ever has on his "show" are the most extreme radical libs possible. But then again, what Conservative in their right mind would lower themselves to be seen with him. He never has facts or logic pertaining to politics or much of anything else, for that matter.

Something weird happened at MSNBC

Submitted by Texndoc on Wed, 06/15/2011 - 12:57am.

I read that Scarborough to Upchuck Todd to Tingles Matthews to Cenk Ungyer were being KIND to Michelle Bachmann. KUDOS to Special Ed if the memo went out to prop her up in order to tear Sarah Palin down and he couldn't do it.

Cenk Ungyer? Really? Thought Bachmann "did well"? Have you been one of the 3-4 to ever tune into his show? He lives breathes and exists to HATE anything Republican.

I'm starting to believe when libtards like Schultz say "middle class" they are talking about political class, well-off, public workers or welfare queens, because I can't, for the life of me, figure out what liberal policies are supposed to be beneficial to the real "middle class".

Submitted by motherbelt on Wed, 06/15/2011 - 7:46am.

Ed has NO IDEA what constitutes the "middle class."

It's just an amorphous term that encompasses some segment of people with jobs,  just like the "rich."  Depends on what suits his  purposes.  The same family he includes in the middle class this week could very well be "poor" or "rich" next week.

And once again Schultz shows why two of his well-earned nicknames are "Short Bus" and "Speshul Ed."

I used to love watching Ed the Red argue hopelessly against Ernest J. Istook from Heritage every week. After all the beat downs Istook issued that quickly came to an end. Good times. Facts are logic are difficult to combat with touchy feely, hope and changy.

are foreign concepts to liberals.
The memo has gone out to the MSNBC trolls to support Bachmann in order to keep Palin out of the nomination and because the liberal powers that be don't think she can beat Obamao. They are O so wrong.
