Ed Schultz Defends Politico By Calling Ann Coulter 'Rightwing Hate Machine Merchant'

By Noel Sheppard | October 31, 2011 | 22:33

Noel Sheppard's picture

The shills at MSNBC spent Monday giving their full support for Politico's hit piece on Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.

Ed Schultz did his part by beginning his program with what he called a "blockbuster story" and then immediately attacked Cain's defenders starting with conservative author Ann Coulter (video follows with transcript and commentary):

ED SCHULTZ, HOST: Politico posted this blockbuster story on Sunday night. Then the flood gates opened. Rightwing hate machine merchant Ann Coulter instantly jumped to Herman Cain's defense.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ANN COULTER: It's outrageous the way liberals treat a black conservative. This is another high-tech lynching. Even the allegations here…

GERALDO RIVERA: The words of Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court justice?

COULTER: That's right. There's nothing liberals fear more than a black conservative.

 

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Schultz was apparently so amped up to defend Politico that he clumsily combined a number of classic liberal epithets frequently lobbed at conservatives, unless of course he was suggesting Coulter sells rightwing hate machines - whatever they are.

From what I can tell about one of the Media Research Center's closest friends, all she sells are books - and a lot of them.

Also quite amusing was Schultz's contention later in the segment that Cain's supposedly evolving recollection of this decades-old incident disqualifies him to be president.

As this is sure to be one of the charges by the Obama-loving media in the coming days and weeks, they should be reminded that this certainly wasn't how they felt when former President Clinton's story changed during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

It sure has been amazing to watch media members who thirteen years ago argued "it's just sex" now go totally apoplectic over allegations by unnamed sources about "inappropriate behavior" like hand gestures that supposedly happened in the '90s.

The hypocrisy is indeed astonishing despite Cain himself predicting it months ago.

Readers are advised to not miss Coulter's fuller comments on this matter.

Submitted by greggy on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 11:24pm.

but the same type of "come-on" or overture that results in a "score" when welcomed, becomes sexual harrassment when it's not welcome. And until that overture is made, the man making it doesn't usually know for sure what the response will be. Therefore the same come-on may be consensual if the response is positive, or considered harrassment if the response is negative.

So what's your point?

When did it become a crime?

Submitted by cajun2 on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 11:54pm.

Sexual harassment is when someone is in an authoritarian position over someone else. My husbands boss offered ME a promotion for my husband for a "night in the sack" as he put it.  This was back in the 80's where women new their place. I had no one to complain to nor any rights so when I revealed this to my husband he transferred to another job.  Today, I would have had some avenue to file a complaint or lawsuit in a civil proceeding but no where do I believe it is a crime.

Diagnosis Drsam?*

Submitted by cajun2 on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 12:22am.

Back in the 70's and 80's, men had a difficult time with women in positions of authority, women who were strong and confident. I was subjected to demeaning comments and sexual harassment by several managers, several lawyers and even a few cops. It was apparent to me that the issue was the level of authority in my particular profession that was the source of the attempts to demean and "put me in my place". 

Cajun was never a "victim" and payback was subtle but always fun. I always told the HARASSOR  that they were NEVER going to be man enough to put me in my place and reminded them of my husband who they all knew in this small community.( Big Guy)..........LOL

Easy to laugh today, but back then women had little or no protection except NO!   Any man who attempts to dominate a woman or anyone who appears weaker is an indication that the man feels inferior to other men in their circle.

This may be the incidents  that has prodded cajun, on a number of occasions here at NB, to chastise those who use offensive language and insult women. That kind of behavior  says more about the man than it does the woman...

Briefly, my analysis of men who are intimidated by women in authority is what you and I would term a cluster B case. In most cases, I would say that "size" issues related to ego (among other things) were certainly central. The other terms I would recall from the pre-IV days would include a soft, fuzzy term like "inferiority complex" or "hyperlibidinous". Or I could just use my wife's term for men like that, "filthy pig".

No charge for this one....consider it a professional courtesy....;)

I was in DC with my ex....(who had a very competent female boss at a Fortune 500)....and there was a big "to do" at the boss's house. I got propositioned by HER husband. Secret Service. VERY impressed with himself (probably should have reported him, the creep). We left shortly thereafter and had a great laugh about it, but I think after that he always felt sorry for his boss thereafter. She had no idea what a jerk her husband was.

Of course, THAT isn't "sexual harrassment" in the workplace environment. I think PC has totally overtaken the reality of the situation as it was, truly, two or three decades ago. The reality now is so totally different. We live in such an entitlement environment that many people see the "harrassment" avenue as a big strike opportunity. Which is what I suspect happened to Herman Cain. We shall see, but I tend to take him at his word, as opposed to say....Bill Clinton & the Bimbo Eruptions.

What is it?

Submitted by Plumb Bob on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 4:31pm.

According to Democrats, a Governor stuffing his erect member in a subordinate's face and saying "kiss it" does not constitute harassment, so long as he takes "No" for an answer. Also, according to Democrats, violent rape, followed by "You ought to put some ice on that," does not disqualify a candidate form holding public office.

So I think Politico should be required to produced evidence that Herman Cain actually did something more serious than either of those acts before they suggest that he should step down from running.

Hypocrisy aside, though, it's pretty revealing how terrified the Democrats are of a black, conservative candidate, isn't it? I want to nominate Herman Cain just for that reason.

"The hypocrisy is indeed astonishing despite Cain himself predicting it months ago." Did you all ever think that he predicted this because HE KNEW THAT THIS WAS OUT THERE!?!?!?!?!?

So which is it? First, there was no such allegation. Then, he had been accused, but was unaware of any settlements. Now he admits that there was a settlement that he was aware of, but he's not sure of how much.

And as far as the "hypocrisy" charge, the same can go both ways. Anytime there is a sex scandal the hypocrisy charge can be thrown around like crazy and nobody ever wins because both sides have had plenty of them.

And so what if he was including this issue in that statement - if he was innocent, and he knew there was a chance that these women might resurface again now that he's one of the frontrunners for the nom, that doesn't mean he did it. You're making a pointless point.

Actually you are right on with this one, and it's exactly why I have a point. Whether innocent or guilty it is still something that is newsworthy. Now he knew that, and I'm sure he knew that running for the most important office in the world was gonna eventually end up with it being brought out in the light again. The same would go for any other politician from any party. Now to finish...correct me if I'm wrong, but in my first comment I never claimed he was guilty/

Huh?

Submitted by greggy on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 3:18am.

"I'm from Tx so I know what some conservatives think about black people".

(Do you know what most black people think about conservatives?)

What does that statement have to do with the subject matter? I'm from Texas too - in fact, I've lived here all my life, which numbers almost 50 years. In that time, I've heard maybe 2 to 3 white people use the "n" word, and have heard maybe 2 others say anything disparaging about blacks as a group. It's a tiny, tiny percentage of the number of people I've met and known.

I've heard at least as many slurs against whites during that time, by blacks - in fact, the latter is considered far less offensive than the former. So if you've formed a belief that conservatives in Texas are commonly racist, perhaps there's a problem with the company you've chosen to keep.

I'd suggest to you that when you get right down to it, there are about the same number of racist liberals as racist conservatives in this country. Furthermore, the south certainly doesn't have a corner on racism, nor does Texas. It is a diminishing problem, and sooner or later you'll have to accept that - otherwise you'll become a "bitter clinger".

Once again, I don't see the relevance of your claim about racism in Texas, to this story. And, based on my own extensive life experience in this state, I also disagree with your insinuation about the state..

(Do you know what most black people think about conservatives?)

Well considering I never used the word "most" about conservatives, no I dont know what "most" black people think about them. Putting words into someones mouth doesn't validate your argument.

The funny thing about your comment is that I NEVER mentioned "white people" once. Here'
s the real kicker about that...THEY"RE NOT ALL WHITE! And just in case you didn't know, racism goes beyond the "N" word, and just because it is a "tiny tiny" percentage of people you know doesn't take away the fact that it still exist. And I don't know (nor does it matter) what part of Tx you are from, but it's a big state and I've seen my share of racism.

"So if you've formed a belief that conservatives in Texas are commonly racist, perhaps there's a problem with the company you've chosen to keep."

Again somebody here putting words into my mouth. NEVER did I say that conservatives in TX are "commonly" racist. And these people aren't part of my company, they're people I've met through business or just out on the street, and it's a small minority of them. And again, NOT ALL WHITE!

You're calling CONSERVATIVES racist?????

Submitted by Plumb Bob on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 4:45pm.

I've been aware of politics since the 1960s. Since the time of the race riots in 1968, I've heard half a dozen expressions of race hatred in a political setting. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM -- bar none -- came from a Democrat.

Roll back to the 2008 nominating race. The Clinton camp slipped out some subtle racist comments ("supporting the dark side of the party") in the run-up to the Pennsylvania primary, because they believed that a certain percentage of DEMOCRATIC party voters were racist. The responses of Democratic party operatives to that sort of nonsense was instructive: "Hey, just because the Republicans are going to go there in the fall doesn't mean we have to..." Of course, the Republicans never went there. The entire "racism" meme in the Democratic party is projection. The only racists in the room are Democrats.

Get a clue, son. The Democratic party is the party of Jim Crow. Plenty of hard-cord racist Democrats remained Democrats, and are still active in the party. The D party uses racism to keep blacks in line; they reserve racist remarks for conservatives now, in order to incent blacks to remain on the Democratic plantation.

How do you know they were Democrats, Plumb Bob?

Submitted by Jer on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 5:42pm.

Did you accompany them to the voting booth? You've been aware of politics almost as long as I have. I was a junior in college in Nashville when Martin Luther King was murdered in Memphis. In its aftermath with racial unrest already a fact, and the threat of serious violence hanging heavy n the air, several of my high school acquaintances spoke openly about going "coon hunting" in Memphis. I have no idea if they considered themselves Democrats, Republicans or members of neither party. But I do know they would have been mortified to have been called "liberal", and they had nothing but contempt for the liberal trend exhibited by the national Democratic party. Moreover, I have no doubt if given the choice between "liberal" or "conservative" to best represent their ideological leanings, they would have opted for the latter. That said, their views then are no more emblematic of contemporary mainstream conservatives than did the racial attitudes of the Jim Crow era infuse the Democratic party today.

So, I suggest you get a clue. True, the Democratic party traditionally was the party of the KKK, rabid racists, and the subjugation of blacks. And that reality will always remain a sorry chapter in its history. But it ceased being an active repository of segregationists a long time ago. I will agree that Democrats and liberals have been, and still are, far too eager in reaching for the race card to fling at Republicans and conservatives. It's a despicable, divisive and destructive practice. But the plantation/racist accusation constantly hurled at Democrats is likewise absurd and insulting, and exceedingly condescending to blacks.

Wrong

Submitted by Phryj1 on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 11:46pm.

He never denied that he was accused, he denied anything happened. Since the incident in question happened about 20 years ago, it's entirely possible he simply forgot about any settlement, if he was even aware of one in the first place. At the time, false accusations of sexual harassment were fairly common and it was most likely a situation of 'how do I make this go away?' and Cain simply let his lawyers handle it and put it behind him.

There is no proof whatsoever anything happened and the investigation exonerated Cain of any wrongdoing.

Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

Aww. Sorry, chum, but there's no better measuring stick. This site is about exposing liberal hypocrisy. You better get used to it or find another haunting grounds.

In the span of a mere 24 hours, the entire Cain thing has unfolded. The only part we don't know are the details of the accusation or who his accusers are, other than the Politico whornalists who couldn't put a scoop together when John Edwards conceived an illegitimate child while his wife was dying of cancer.

I so no foul in a campaign regrouping to do damage control all within a 24-hour period. Especially when the details we have suggest the woman was a disgruntled worker.

Okay, so the Mike Lee thing may have went more quickly than this Cain thing. Kinda hard to get much quicker than quick.

How long did Weinergate take to unfold? All the Clinton stuff too. Meanwhile, Cain's "sex scandal" hasn't cost a taxpayer a single dime.

And while we're comparing "sex scandals," look up Mark Foley of FL and compare his record with Jerry Studds of MA.

Nobody familiar with the nominating hearings for Clarence Thomas has any doubt why Herman Cain might have expected some flak.

If you take this flap to mean anything more than that, you're the willing accomplish of character assassins.

He may have made some off remark that made some woman "uncomfortable," or he may not have, but given the Democrats' track record on the subject of black, conservative men, you really should hold out for ironclad evidence of genuine wrongdoing, and not let the whispers get to you. Character assassination is about the only thing Democrats do well.

Special Ed can't even keep his anti-conservative smears right

Submitted by Phryj1 on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 11:08pm.

And it's pretty hypocritical coming from a left-wing hate merchant who works for a left-wing hate machine.

Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.

EXACTLY RIGHT

Submitted by greggy on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 11:15pm.

Ed Anger, Ed "I'm gonna torch this place", Ed "we need to rip Cheney's heart out of his chest and kick it around", Ed the chair kicker, Ed the misogynistic hate-spewing slanderer of Laura Ingraham. It's a troubling thing when a man has absolutely no sense of self-awareness.

It sounds like the NRA showed these gold diggers the door with cab fare. They ain't got nothin'.

To more fully comprehend the Left, one must read “Leftism As Psychopathy” by John Ray, M.A., Ph.D. Caution, it might scare you a little bit.

Until I've read something solid that says otherwise I'm just going to continue believing Cain is a good guy.

Oh wow, the lamestream media and liberal attack machine

Submitted by gmaniac1 on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 7:36am.

is after another conservative black person. No, not racist at all. Shoot according to their mindless standards to even utter a word of honest debate against a liberal black amounts to a hate crime. Clarence Thomas was all but convicted over Anita Hill and looked what happened their, nothing as it should have been. The liberal children would shriek "McCarthysim" if the shoe was on the other foot, though in their case the allegations were warranted, i.e. Clinton, Wiener, etc.

How about Michael Steele?

In his run for Governor in the Socialist Republic of Maryland the ad hominem and nasty attacks were non stop and disgustingly disgusting.

It was nauseating how they treated him and quite frankly how the local republican establishment cowered to their liberal masters as well.

By the way, in my original post I meant to write "there" not "their" lol

You mention McCarthyism

Submitted by ahusser on Thu, 11/03/2011 - 10:36am.

As soon as a liberal screams McCarthyism (as if they don't practice their version everyday as if a conservative blacklist in Hollywood doesn't exist) debate stops. It is very similar to screaming racism. They are experts at hurling inflammatory words
.
BTW even though McCarthy may have been a nut job in some ways he was eerily accurate with his accusations. I count McCarthyism as one of historical socialism's great myths along with the innocence of the Rosenbergs and the "Republicans" in the Spanish Civil War not being communists.

not investigating communists spies infiltrating our government. Like you stated it was discovered time and time again that he was right on all accounts. If he was a nut job than we need more craziness like him. The mind numbed liberals do not even know why they hate the guy, but then again they don't know much about a lot of things.

Actually the liberals should be mad at HUAC who are the ones that vilified the communist left in our pop culture at the time, not McCarthy. Senator McCarthy was a senator by all intents and purposes. The HUAC was a committee of the democrat(ic) controlled House of Representatives.

They were right on too as we can see all those Che Guevera t-shirt wearing fools on TV all the time, shamelessly bad mouthing the country.

It's always the same line up of morons, pushing the same old story of how everything bad, in this world, is the Conservative's fault.

What's making them madder

Submitted by richflanj on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 9:35am.

What's making them madder than Hell is the reality that their playbook is known and doesn't work anymore.

Their "race card" is in fact the Joker in the deck.
