Did anyone hear Ed Schultz say RFK's Rolling Stone article was boring?

[babsbunny]

That was the last straw for me with 'Big Eddy' Why does he hate America?

[Arugula Latte]

1. Yeah. I think Big Eddie is a waste of air time.

Too bad. There are so many deserving radio talents on the left, and he's not one of them.

[wryter2000]

2. Oh, gawd

I gave up on him long ago. I can just hear that blowhard. "Folks in the heartland don't want to read about numbers. They like their wall-eye and big mouth bass."

[movonne]

3. He is kind of like Lieberman...not my idea of a Dem....

[Ian David]

4. Why don't they fire Ed and give Margaret Cho her own show? n/t

[azmouse]

5. He spewed the RW line about why wasn't the MSM

covering the story if there was anything to it! aaarrgghh!!

[Cha]

33. I guess the poor

blowhard doesn't know.." IT'S THE MEDIA STUPID!!"

[tlsmith1963]

6. Yeah...

...the article didn't have enough car-crashes & gun battles in it, did it Ed? Just kidding, but you get the idea. Sorry if *reality* just isn't exciting enough. Geez.

7. actually, it was terribly dry. not everyone is as fascinated by this

as us. don't give up on ed. he pulls the yellow dog dems over to us and the wavering pugs who need someone who feels like he knows them. he's a dem like the rest of us, he just doesn't fall chapter
and verse along the lines I might like. Its like Jack Cafferty. I don't mind libertarian dems if they
vote the right way.

[Lefty-Taylor]

8. Am I alone here? Because I thought the article was anything but dry.

While a lot of the information has already come out (thanks to Mark Crispen Miller and others), RFK Jr. framed the data and anecdotes in a clear and, I thought, colorful way.

[Arugula Latte]

12. Hi Lefty-Taylor!

:hi:

What are you making me for dinner tonight?

P.S. When are you going to get an avatar? ;)

[roguevalley]

14. no, but I guess its the teacher in me. I read it with two sets of eyes:

my own and the average joe. it was one of the most important stories of the past several years but I can see how the average joe without a real burn for this could feel this way.

[truedelphi]

17. Yeah It WAS dry - little mention of activists

And little mention of all the work that went down trying to stop what was going on...

Couldn't Kennedy have interviewed some of those who were out in the field?
The Susan Truitts, Will Pitts, friends of Andy's, etc.

It could have been done in a more tantal;izing way - not just a droning
sermon (And yeah, I'll take the boredom of the sermon rather
than no article at all)

[DELUSIONAL]

9. Don't waste your time -- RFK is on Majority Report Radio

with Hartman interviewing him now.

turn clueless Eddy off and listen to the good guys.

[snowbear]

10. ~~ I love Big Ed... sorry to hear of your opinion Babs...

And unbelievable that you would claim that he doesn't love America just because he disliked a somewhat dry article.

Un-freaken-believable.

I guess the good news for me is that.. since you won't be tuning into him anymore, we'll never see any of these negative anti-Eddie posts again.

Good!!!

[Snaggletooth]

11. Let's not forget that the first Ritalin generation has come of age.

Even if they didn't really have attention deficit problems, an entire childhood of daily doses of amphetimines is bound to have taken its toll. Perhaps Mr. Schultz is speaking for his 'peeps.'

13. Press Types Keep Pooh, Poohing Every Stolen Election

they will never stop stealing them.

Shultz is another lazy from the gut guy, his gut tells him something and end of subject.

[Evergreen Emerald]

15. When Ed Dissed Murtha...

He lost my respect. And now this. He minimizes something so fundamental to America. There is evidence that Bush and his cohorts overthrew the American government in a coup and are now a ruling regime. Boring? Good God.

[guidod]

23. I didn't like what he said about Murtha either

but I'm not willing to throw him under the bus. Some days I want to throw him under the bus and then beat the shit out of him. He's still strong with veterans and unions so I think we can use some of what he says.

[Evergreen Emerald]

31. no one is stronger with veterans than Murtha.

Murtha lives and breathes his commitment to veterans--and to the soldiers Bush put in harm's way. With people like ED undermining Murtha and now the election results issue, who needs enemies?

[guidod]

34. I agree with everything

you say. We have such a small voice on the radio, compared to the repukes, I can't see why we should trash Schultz. Some of the things he says is pure crap, but he also says some nice things. He's for veterans rights, strong unions and he was with Feingold on censuring Bush. I think we need him.

[mod mom]

16. I heard a little of the interview and someone must of coached him. He

brought up the Ellen Connolly issue, which unless you are following the entire story, which he hasn't wouldn't be what you pointed out.

I read something here the other day about some Dem hierarchy pulling aside Ed and Randi and asking them to he their spokes person. Randi said no way but Ed Schultz agreed. I don't know if this story is true, but it could explain his take on the subject. The Dems don't want this story to gain ground.

[zulchzulu]

18. Nuance and explanations are boring. We need 2 quick market-tested phrases

God, I am kidding...

Nuance and details in regards to election fraud (or ANY major issue) demand that people turn off their iPods, put down their GameBoys, stop chatting gibberish on their Starbucks buzz or yeehawing on their Miller Lite buzz and learn how to friggin' read and listen...how unAmerican...

[WA98296]

19. Two things are a constant with Ed

1. Ed Schultz does NOT want any focus on election fraud.
And that simply does not pass the smell test.
It is the BIGGEST issue we face in this country if we want a democracy.

2. Hillary Clinton.
If you don't understand Ed's unfailing passion for Hillary, simply follow the money.
Plenty of links on the net to articles about this.
Hillary will always be Ed's, and oh so sadly Randi Rhodes' candidate -- mark my words. That's is what it is.


And, the RFK article was amazing....anything but boring.

[Skittles]

20. haven't trusted hiim since he said he likes to hunt

:puke:

[snowbear]

21. Oh pahleeeeese!

This thread REALLY sucks.

Hey, I know! Let's find another way to figure out how to put down Democrats when we're through with this thread.

[Skittles]

26. I don't like hunters

so it is relevant to me...YOU get a life...and anyone who says the subject of the theft of presidential elections is BORING ain't no g.d. DEMOCRAT

[snowbear]

27. Did you vote for Kerry?

Because he's a hunter too.

Kinda narrows the Democrats you can vote for actually if you don't vote for hunters.

But I respect your right to hate hunters..

[Skittles]

28. holding your nose to vote for someone other than Bush

can hardly be called a TEST.....and by the way, I thought Kerry's hunting photo-op was SICKENING...and I certainly did not vote for that IWR-supporting asshole in the primaries

[guidod]

22. It's only his opinion, probably not yours

and certainly not mine. If our party thought exactly the same on a reaction to a speech we would be called republicans. We're liberals, we don't welk in lock step and we don't want to. He's an ex-pug give him a break he deserves it.

[orleans]

24. boring for the big ed mentality maybe--what else did he say about it?

did he say it wasn't true or anything like that?

(perhaps the piece was a bit too intellectual for him--too many stats, etc)

he drives me crazy--(his voice reminds me of rush)-- but i keep trying to remind myself that there are dems out there that he appeals to

(we're not all major leftists like i like to think i am)

[snowbear]

25. He ROCKS in my opinion!!

I absolutely LOVE Big Eddie! He's the REAL DEAL and it's no wonder he's the number 01 Progressive station in the U.S.

He beats the crap out of every rightwinger when he's on Larry King, CNN, etc.

In my opinion... EDDIE ROCKS!

But then again, DU'ers rock too! ~~ :hug:

[orleans]

29. i can't remember which show it was but he was on with randi

and there were two republicans--(one was twenty four years old)

and him and randi made a great tag team together

[snowbear]

30. He's been doing Lou Dobbs and Larry King with Randi as a teammate...

..against two Rethugs, and you're right! They always beat the crap out of the them!

[ktlyon]

32. because he is a republican

he is no liberal

[Zhade]

35. Nope. I stopped listening the that windbag BEFORE he lied about Murtha.

Not that I'm Murtha's fan or anything - I just don't waste my time on liars.

Fuck "Big Ed". Lie and you're uselss to me.
