Ed Schultz: Palin Responsible for Republicans Thinking Obama's Muslim

By Noel Sheppard | March 12, 2012 | 21:41

Noel Sheppard's picture

UPDATE AT END OF POST: Hillary Clinton campaign circulated Obama photo in Muslim attire.

Polls released Monday showed a large percentage of Republicans in Alabama and Mississippi think President Obama is a Muslim.

In a shocking display of unhinged rhetoric hours later, MSNBC's Ed Schultz blamed it all on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):

Early in the segment, Schultz referred to the aforementioned Public Policy Polling surveys.

The president was then shown saying, "When we start using religion as a bludgeon in politics, when we start questioning other people's faith, we start using religion to divide instead of bring the country together, then I think we've got a problem."

Schultz responded, “The root of this problem is at the doorstep of the McCain campaign from 2008. You don’t have to look any farther than the recent HBO movie 'Game Change' which premiered over the weekend to see how this whole fire started to rage.”

A clip of the film was shown wherein Julianne Moore as Palin asked Woody Harrelson (Steve Schmidt) if she could start talking about Rev. Jeremiah Wright and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. Harrelson told her to speak with McCain (Ed Harris).

What Schultz didn’t show his viewers was that in the film, the campaign team discussed Palin's request and it was decided by McCain himself that Wright would be completely hands off, but Ayers would be free game.

As such, there was absolutely nothing in "Game Change" about the McCain campaign attacking Obama's religious beliefs, which is one of the few truths in the film.

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Despite this, after the clip, Schultz said, “Sarah Palin poured gasoline all over this fire. She helped start the misinformation campaign.”

A clip was then shown of the real Palin at a campaign event in October 2008 saying, “This is not a man who sees America as you and I see America. Our opponent is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country.”

There was absolutely nothing about Wright or religion in that clip.

Regardless, when it concluded, Schultz asked his viewers, “So what happened? Sarah Palin made it acceptable for Republican voters to disdain the president for his alleged otherness. She ginned up and fostered the pitting of the American people against Barack Obama. And three and a half years later, it is still a big problem for the United States of America and of course the President of the United States and pretty much a major concern for his reelection campaign.”

So, exactly what in that October 2008 stump speech had anything to do with depicting Obama as a Muslim or questioning his religious beliefs?

Absolutely nothing.

But that's what Schultz told his MSNBC audience Monday.

Exit question: who's really ginning up hatred in this country?

Post facto thought provoker: This is what makes HBO's "Game Change" so dangerous. Obama-loving media outlets are going to use it as a resource for information despite it's many factual errors.

Much as many Americans think Palin actually said she could see Russia from her house thanks to Tina Fey, all of the falsehoods in this film are going to become urban legend.

And that's scary.

*****Update: NBer metaphorsbwithu correctly tweeted me that it was the Hillary Clinton campaign in February 2008 that circulated the following infamous photo of Obama in Muslim garb.

Despite this happening six months before Palin was named as McCain's running mate, I'm sure it was still all her fault.

What Ed "Wrong Way" Schultz intentionally left out to his audience is that this group of hacks has partnership with The Daily Kos. Liberals are proving to me more and more every day that people can actually have an IQ in negative numbers.

Also, Ed "Wrong Way" Schultz intentionally left this little hum-dinger:

"Errors
Not all of the polls by Public Policy Polling have been accurate; the company has had its share of inaccurate results. Among the most notable of its mispredictions were that of the 2008 Democratic presidential primary in Pennsylvania[16] (in which it predicted an Obama victory; Clinton ultimately won by 9-10%), and that in the 2009 special election in New York's 23rd Congressional District.[17]"

I have probably seen it, but shoot it to me anyway.

There is also a list of Obama's past that was put together by a current author and former cop that is floating around as per Boortz, which he mentioned this morning, but I was driving and couldn't write anything down, and I don't remember his name.

Might turn up in my next Boortz Blast, as Neal did not put it on his website today.

To put it bluntly, America has been had, and royally so.

And the word "sinister" doesn't even begin to cover it.

This Kenyan Muslim commie fraud is evil personified, but too many among us still don't want to face up to that, even though we are now over three years into the screw.

By the time the American Idol-adicted and Lady GaGa worshiping dumbMasses figure out something is amiss, it's going to be too friggin' late.

As a nation, we have become fat, dumb, and happy over the last 236 years, but unless something drastic changes PDQ, we are going to go out emaciated, broke, and miserable - and that a Hell of a lot sooner than most people think.

Did you ever hear that quote from Mark Twain that begins, "Better to remain silent, and be thought a fool . . . ."? I'm guessing not.

I do not make decisions or come to conclusions based on what some celebrity has to say. I tend to agree with Alice Cooper, who commented once (and this is a rough paraphrase), "If you choose who to vote for based on what some celebrity says, you're a bigger idiot than the celebrity."

Secondly, I really can't recall any instance of Sarah Palin making any comment at all about Obama's religion, or lack thereof. So I'm not certain how something that Palin DIDN'T say can have any influence on people's view of Obama's religion.

Thanks to the liberal civility police, we now know that that is wrong, and Ed must take a more nuanced approach.

Is there something wrong with being Muslim?

Submitted by bkeyser on Mon, 03/12/2012 - 10:48pm.

Not that I think Obama is; personally, I think he's atheist. That being said, outside of continuing the wars in the Middle East- which liberals used to scream was a war on Muslims until Obama came into office- his policies relative Muslim countries sure seem to be quite friendly. Egypt went from being largely secular to forming a new government with 80% identified as "Muslim". Libya is following suit. And he's been bending over backwards for Iran since day one, and continues to do so today.He may not be a Muslim, but he sure is concilatory to them; especailly compared to Catholics and Jews.

And the religion that is worshiped at the alter of Obama is a toxic combination of ALL of the bad traits and characteristics and ideals and agendas of many different 'isms' (including 'capitalism',as he uses it for his own good), as well as whatever 'religion' that he wants to use to make himself look better - although I don't think too many people are buying into his so-called 'Christian' beliefs........................and he HAS stated his allegiance to Islam on many and varied occasions.

And I believe that photo of Baraka in the moooooooooooooooslem garb, in Kenya (or was that British East Africa - like it said on his 'birth certificate'???), while available on the internet,wasn't really seen publically until NURSE RATCHETT released it!!!!!
You KNOW that the politically-correct and ultra-wimpy McCain Mutiny would have FIRED someone on his team for exposing such a horrible photograph - one that might make Baraka look bad, and be 'racist' and 'intolerent'!!!

Schultz: The root of this problem is at the McCain  . . Palin . . .bla bla bla

No, it's not. In addition to the update posted by Noel, where it's laid out that it was the Hillary camp, in 2008, who wanted Obama painted as a Muslim -- there was also this . . .

The birther movement, as well, was "birthed" close to the Hillary camp. There can be no doubt that the possibility that this Kenyan, with the Islamic faith in his blood, who once lived in Pakistan and attended a Madrasah, was enhanced by this campaign effort, would end up residing in the deeply held beliefs of the deeply Democrat rooted South.

The birther movement was born of the Democratic primary - by the Democrats - not the Republicans. FTR - liberal John Avlon wrote it up rather well, The 'Birthers' Began on the Left.

On the side bar, McCain should tackle this straight on.

Gary, your attribution is correct but overstated...

Submitted by Jer on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 12:35am.

a. Avlon is NOT a liberal.

b. The origin of birtherism was hatched within a small coterie of rogue women Clinton-supporting Democrats who went to Berg, a Democratic nutjob who filed a lawsuit and began peddling the birther issue to anyone who would listen--mostly the anti-Obama fringe right. In the meantime, the group of Hillary women became disenchanted and actually decided to give Sarah Palin a serious look. I have no idea whom they eventually supported.

c. Berg began appearing on niche conservative talk shows moderated by hosts who were absolutely thrilled to peddle the birther nonsense, along with the burgeoning assistance from World Net Daily which rapidly became the journalistic epicenter of Birtherism--spearheaded by Dr. Jerome Corsi. There was also an influential article published in the National Review which coincided with Berg's and WND's efforts to gain traction for the story.

d. Yes the birther banner was first wielded by a few Democrats but was quickly tossed aside only to be grabbed by the fanatical right which has carried it ever since.

Hey Jer ol' buddy.............I haven't seen you around here for a while. I thought maybe you were on vacation or something. Anyway, with regards to this 'birther' issue........it just DOESN'T seem to be going away, does it?? And believe me, it's been lambasted by people on 'my' side just as well as 'yours', right?? But it hasn't died, and I think that is because - underneath the lies and the BS and the phony 'proof' and the people telling us that we're getting 'side-tracked' and everything else that we've heard about it...................there is SOMETHING THERE!!!

I"m over here in Asia, as you know, so maybe I get to hear about things that are a little more 'telling'??? I don't know - I'm not the kind of guy who sits in front of the internet and looks for whatever I can find to prove that I am right. I DO know that the circumstances surrounding Baraka's 'typical white grandmother's death were HIGHLY dubious - the reasons, the timing, everything!! And she was kept under lock and key during the whole campaign.................for what reason?? And she had a lot of connections when she was a professional, when Boy Barry was growing up. There's a LOT of unanswered questions in that arena. Of course, this IS Asia/People's Republic of Hawaii..........and the press, the government, and a vast majority of the populace are, and have been, in the tank of lib/Dem politics and whatever they are spoon fed............and the fact that Boy Barry is purportedly FROM Hawaii gives a lot of these followers some sense of pride - even if they don't have a clue as to what is REALLY going on!!!

But I also get the feeling that Boy Baraka is losing credibility around here by some percentage..................I know a LOT more people these days who feel that way - as opposed to the psuedo tsunami of 'hype and chains' in 2008.

On a similiar note, I'm glad to see SOME Republican with balls actually threatening to impeach Boy Baraka, and maybe Leon Panetta, for their astonishingly un-Constitutional approach to international military involvement. Now...............if some GOP (or hey, maybe even a Democrat??? Hahahahaha - fat friggin' chance!!!) member can find any number of reasons to get rid of Eric
(With)Holder - who has got to be one of the most blatent criminals to EVER occupy ANY government position!!!

A little bit of eye strain has prompted me to take more extended breaks between posting for awhile. So the comments will continue to be sporadic during the near future.

As far as Obama, allow this one observation: He is vulnerable enough on legitimate issues. The birther and closet muslim claims are unnecessary distractions which interfere with focusing on the more appropriate targets--jobs, energy policy [gas prices], a languishing housing market, explosive debt, mideast turmoil, disaffection with Obamacare, etc.--where the fire should be concentrated. At least that's my opinion.

Submitted by killa37 on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 1:59am.

You speak TROOF, Jer............with regards to these 'legitimate' issues.............but who the HELL do you think is going to bring them UP??? The StateRun Media??? The GOP??? The DEMS??? Hahahahahahahaha!!! And having said that...........since the aforementioned suspects WON'T be bringing up the 'legitimate' issues, you can bet your bottom dollar that they will DENY any other issues (such as what we are talking about), as well as to continue the charade of the 'war against women' and the 'psuedo contraceptive' issues and the 'racist' issues and whatever else they can concoct in order to keep ANYONE and EVERYONE from focusing on what is REALLY happening!!! And, unfortuantly, we have a VERY LARGE percentage of REALLY DUMB people in this country - including members of the MSM - who will ride this wave until it breaks on the shoreline.

As for myself, I'm gonna keep my chin up, and my attitude positive, and I'm gonna LAY TO WASTE any lib/Dem/progressive that wants to talk to me around here...................but the ones who know me............STAY AWAY from me, or ask me how the surf is!!!

PS - I hope your 'eye-strain' gets better. I"m sufferiing from 'brain-strain'!!! But I'm NOT gonna stop!!!

Jer . . Avalon - you mean in . .

. .comparison to say a Cenk Uygur or a Bashir or a Olbermann. . ?

And no, my attribution is correct and extremely underreported.

In fact, it's pure partisan bias that led the entire national media  - like this idiot Schultz, who very well may not even be aware - to ignore, or to censor, the birther story that they so loved to report on . . as long as they could only connect it to the right. Otherwise - it would never be known.

Gary, I don't think even you honestly believe "Birtherism"

Submitted by Jer on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 4:14pm.

would be a non-story but for a small group of women rogue Democrats. This birther absurdity has been peddled, pushed, paraded, pounded and pickled by the political right for nearly four years now.

You need only check the birther forums at this website. They weren't launched by Newsbuster liberals. Check out the endless birther links and articles at World Net Daily. They weren't posted by liberals. Review the giddiness on the NB threads last year over the anticipated Corsi blockbuster that was going to blow the lid off of Obama's claims of an Hawaiian birth. [BTW, I know where you can pick up a copy at a substantial discount.] None of that was generated by liberals. How about the skepticism of the long-form b/c voiced by Pamela Geller and others--none of whom were liberals. The plain truth is the mainstream Republicans and conservatives who tentatively bought into the whole Birtherism baloney wound up with egg all over their faces and wiped it off by disingenuously insisting "hey, it wasn't us...it was the Dems and the liberal media who have churned the story for the last four years."

As far as Avlon, compared to nobody. He's a former Giuliani speechwriter and a political centrist.

How does Palin have the power to make people think? If she does have that power, wish she would make you think before you ever open your mug.

I just watched the 2nd Half of "Game Change"

Submitted by Blonde on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 2:08am.

...because there was nothing else on.

Truly....if you get a chance to watch it, DO!

It's the funniest thing you may ever see......bizarre plot, horrid over-acting....not even a C-level fiction story.

It is absolutely pathetically bad, and therefore, rather funny.

And if one is (as am I) somewhat astute, the parody of the Rino McCain (and his fat little daughter) and the rest of these political parasites is hilarious.....as they attempt to portray themselves as some sort of paragons of virtue.....trust me. Watch this idiot movie with a sharp eye, and you'll laugh yourself silly. All the while knowing that Sarah Palin is laughing her ass off, too.

Best actor of the whole thing: the adorable baby who played Trig. Best Actor in a Made For TV Movie.

Blame your love, Ed.

Submitted by Unsane on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 6:57am.

Actually, His Majesty The Shahinshah did it on His own.

Did He not call the Muslim call to prayer the most beautiful sound in the world, and then recite it in perfect Arabic?

I can't blame people for thinking He is Muslim, though I still submit He can't be because it's hard to pray to yourself once, let alone 5 times a day.

Neither a Christian nor a Muslim

Obama is neither a Christian nor a Muslim; he worships himself.

A huge serving of fructose corn syrup for the already obese MSM

Submitted by needle on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 8:57am.

Hollywood Liberals lying liberally create “Game Change.”

This becomes a boon for lying MSM Liberals. Now Ed and others refer to it, as if it were the latest addition to the Holy Bible (you know, those 66 books Liberals never read), and thus broaden -- as if they need to -- their palette for lying.

What a surprise.

The American people are a LOT smarter than you think Ed...then again, you really DON'T think, do you.

MSNBC and the MSM are misinformation machines

Submitted by c5then on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 11:02am.

Some might even call it "propaganda".

Once again, I point out to people that they don't care about truth, fairness or even civility. Their goal is to win for their side at any cost.

This should not surprise anybody who listens to watches or reads the "news" from multiple sources.

Modus Operndi

Submitted by djaymick on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 11:42am.

This is what liberals do - take something that the Democrats bring up and attribute it to the GOP. A former staffer of Michelle Obama portrayed her as uncompromising and hateful. Then the media turn it around to make it look like the GOP was behind this. We saw it with the early Obama/Joker posters that were made by a Democratic operative.
So, the GOP needs to detail who started these issues and how it is being transferred to the GOP.

Obama the Muslim

Submitted by Steve Cakouros on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 2:31pm.

Obama's religion is Marxism.

The person who should get the credit for exposing his devotion to Marx is Alan Keyes.

How can they be confused?

Submitted by CobraMan on Tue, 03/13/2012 - 3:16pm.

How can so many people be confused about Obama's religion? I mean, really, he's obviously a Christian, with such a Christian name like "Barrack Hussein Obama." It's as Christian a sir name as, say, Ahmad, or Khaleel! Or Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

I mean, come on guys, really, it's about as clear as a Scotsman named Perrier.

The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States. The US Constitution

Unless you're a fetus. The US Supreme Court

Or Anwar al-Awlaki.
