Aghast From Past: Ed Schultz Producer Suggested Obama 'Put a Gun' to H

January 11th, 2011 5:55 PM
Go figure, yet another example of allegedly non-existent rhetoric from a liberal using violent and/or gun-related imagery. Not to worry though, apparently it's only conservatives who set off left wingers when this occurs and and not the other way around. Back on Dec. 16, I wrote about  a conversation between liberal radio host Ed Schultz and his producer James "Holmy" Holm, who also helps…

Ed Schultz: Vitriolic Rhetoric Non-Existent From Democrats

January 11th, 2011 4:44 PM
Is Ed Schultz really this dumb or simply incapable of honesty?

Media Reality Check: While Media Indict Conservative Speech, Left’s

January 11th, 2011 2:54 PM
Three days after a mentally-deranged man — whose backyard in Arizona featured a bizarre shrine decorated with a human skull and rotted oranges — killed six people and severely wounded Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the liberal media continue to cynically link Sarah Palin, the Tea Party and mainstream conservatives with the crime. There is, of course, absolutely no evidence that…

Two of the most toxic political commentators in the nation tried to make the case Monday that violent political rhetoric emanates far more from conservatives than liberals.

Ed Schultz Last Wednesday: 'This Is An Ideological War...I Will Fight

January 11th, 2011 9:42 AM
While folks in the media blame conservatives for violent rhetoric they dishonestly claim led to Saturday's massacre in Tucson, they continue to hypocritically ignore their own toxicity. No finer or timely example occurred just three days before the shootings when Ed Schultz on the program bearing his name angrily said, "This is an ideological war. I say it on camera tonight here on MSNBC - I…

Schultz Suggests Fox News Foments Violence

January 10th, 2011 6:57 PM
The photo shows Ed Schultz literally pointing the finger at Fox News.   On his MSNBC show this evening, Schultz suggested that Fox incites political violence and justified his own heated rhetoric as necessary to combat Fox's supposed dishonesty. Schultz levelled his accusation in the course of rambling, show-opening, remarks on the Arizona shootings. Schultz also denied that there has been…

Ed Schultz Flunks Union Donation Math

January 9th, 2011 2:16 PM
Nice to see them finally get their lines straight. After making a questionable claim without a shred of substantiation, Ed Schultz doubled-down with the assertion that what he said was backed up by the head of a major union. That it was -- but only after prodding by Schultz.  Here's Schultz making the claim on his radio show Jan. 4 (audio) --

Ed Schultz Parrots Democrat Talking Points: Friday's Jobs Report Prove

January 8th, 2011 11:01 AM
Despite virtually all economists and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve finding Friday's unemployment report disappointing, MSNBC's Ed Schultz parroted President Obama's take that the numbers released by the Labor Department were good news. The "Ed Show" host crowed so gleefully about the much-maligned data that he even said it was evidence the 2009 stimulus package worked (video follows…

January 7th, 2011 7:51 PM
Guess we could get used to Bill a few octaves higher . . . Radio host Lionel has predicted that Barack Obama will "come close" to gelding [castrating] Bill O'Reilly when the president does an interview with the Fox News host on Super Bowl Sunday. Lionel, who's real last name is . . . Lebron, made his prediction of what would be news-breaking neutering on this evening's Ed Show. View…

Ed Schultz Tells Listeners He 'Almost Got Arrested' New Year's Day

January 6th, 2011 3:22 PM
I doubt it came as much of a surprise to anyone listening when Ed Schultz described how he broke the law by knowingly driving on a highway closed by police. Schultz's New Year's Day jaunt caught the attention of Brian Maloney at the Radio Equalizer who asked yesterday, "Do road closures apply to MSNBC talkers?" --

Ed Schultz: Republicans are 'Bastards Who Want to Destroy the American

January 5th, 2011 8:23 PM

Schultz's Hysterical Math: Corporations Donate 1000x More Than Unions

January 4th, 2011 8:48 PM
Here at NewsBusters, we've documented Ed Schultz's heroic if unsuccessful struggles with the English language.  Guess we've got to add math to the subjects where Schultz requires some serious remedial work . . . On his MSNBC show this evening, Schultz asserted that corporations donate 1000 times more money to political campaigns than unions do.  Or as Ed said, in his inimitably  muddled…

Rare Admission From Liberal: Education Woes Not Due to Lack of Funding

Only time I recall a left-winger saying this, but hey, it's a start. Here's Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter, author of "The Promise: President Obama, Year One," talking about the economy and education on Ed Schultz's radio show yesterday with guest host Jeff Santos of WWZN 1510 AM in Boston --

Ed Schultz Stumbles Into Candor, Reveals Actual Reason for Lack of GOP

December 26th, 2010 7:55 AM
Ed Schultz, liberal radio host and MSNBC action hero, has a pronounced aversion to Republicans/conservatives/right wingers coming on his cable show. Why? Depends on when Schultz explains the reason. Here he was on his radio show this past Monday (audio) --
