Ed Schultz just called Palin a "political whore" for her Ayers comments -

[1776Forever]

He said she had no idea what she was talking about and was just a parrot for the campaign talking points.

Here is his website:

1. I second that.

[VeraAgnes]

8. Ditto!

empty skirt/no panties GOP whore to be precise.

[DevonRex]

39. LOL! Vera, I've loved your posts the past couple of days.

Probably more than that, but there have been one or two that have really struck me as inciteful and kinda funny. Thanks. I enjoy your wit.

[BrainStorm]

2. Ed Schultz is such a political dick.

NT

[dionysus]

44. big eddie is great. here's your banky;

[maseman]

3. Go Big Eddie!

He's going to catch a lot of hell for this comment but it is true.

[1776Forever]

9. Like him or not you have to admit he has BIG kahunas! Now let's sit back and watch!

This will definitely get some air time!

[TwilightGardener]

4. Well, since McStupid is also an infamous "political whore", I'd say

his running mate is a good fit for him.

[1776Forever]

15. Heard that one - Good pair!

[annarbor]

5. Amen, Big Eddie!

Listening on XM Radio in my office. I'm in total agreement. Caller just complained about the comment, said that it wasn't proper for Eddie to refer to Palin as a whore. Eddie said that it's his show and he calls them as he sees them.

Good call!

[PearliePoo2]

6. Big Ed tells it like it is

He also called McClueless a "Warmonger"! He took some heat for that too.
It will be interesting to see if he gets invited back to Larry King after calling McWolfKiller a whore! :wow:

[maseman]

10. He can always say

Hey if Palin can call Obama a terrorist I can call her a media whore.

[PearliePoo2]

14. Yup

Calling Obama (a sitting United States Senator!) a terrorist is taking it over the line.
But they went there.
It's all they've got now.
And tactics like that, CONFIRM she is nothing but a nasty, mean, political whore.

[Alter Ego]

7. He's gonna get a lot of shit for that one. I'd have used something a bit less inflammatory.

[1776Forever]

11. Isn't it not fair though that the Dem's have to be so outrageous to get air time

while the Repub's can go on and on and on and no body says anything about it???

[Alter Ego]

13. Yeah--except the difference is the retard brigade has the time and energy

and the inclination to bitch and piss and whine and moan about it. Liberals have better things to do, like, oh, I don't know, go to work, take care of their families, etc.

[traveller]

27. oh goodie. Ed sinks into the cesspoll like the other side does.

Makes Dems soooooo proud (NOT).

[taddles]

29. Fuck less inflamatory!

If you haven't got the balls to call the whore a fucking whore then get the fuck out of the way and let someone with some real balls do it for you! Go Eddie, slam that simpering bitch to the ground and stomp on her fucking throat.

[Liberal Gramma]

12. I'm not sure he needs to qualify the noun

[Raineyb]

24. Maybe he qualified it as to not insult actual whores who at least work for a living n/t

Regards

[vaberella]

16. Isn't that sexist? On another note I was surprised by this thread since yesterday

or the late last week I believe it was Schultz who bashed O...these people are bipolar.

[1776Forever]

19. I have never heard Ed say anything against Obama - He has been for him for months

[Metric System]

17. Ugh, I just wish people would go after Palin without the sexist language.

[Beacool]

18. Thank you!!!

;-)

[nini]

20. Men can be whores too

it's an equal opportunity slur.

[msallied]

21. Men have also been referred to as "whores" in the political context.

I really don't think it's sexist. It's the idea of selling oneself. Men and women both do it.

[1776Forever]

22. Merriam-Webster dictionary site says it can be man or woman & also a venal person -

34. Thank you very, very much. I really hate it when my vocabulary

is whittled down by folks who don't know the definitions of certain terms.

I am a woman. I use the terms political whore and media whore to describe people, without regard to their gender.

[tblue]

36. Me, too. SP and Dishonest John are both whores.

[DevonRex]

37. Yes they are. And it's disingenuous to pretend not to know what

the meaning of that term is in this context.

[tblue]

42. Or even to be PC and 'make nice' with these monsters. Hell no!

My heels are on and my gloves are off, too!

[DevonRex]

48. Heh heh. Yeah. No need to be

PC with that crowd. They wouldn't understand it anyway. :)

[Lerkfish]

23. AGREED. there are other words to use.

there are even better sexist words to use if you have to use sexist words: like "bimbo", which a more apt description of her vacuous intellect.

but yeah, I agree.

[myrna minx]

25. I had a nice pile on in another thread, taking umbrage with me, because I found

calling Palin that was unnecessary.

[1776Forever]

28. Isn't it not fair though that the Dem's have to be so outrageous to get air time

while the Repub's can go on and on and on and no body says anything about it???

[myrna minx]

32. Ed Schultz, I believe, doesn't need to refer to Palin in the way to stay on the air.

You have to understand that there have been very sexist threads here, including one about Sarah's time of the month and her ovulation is a possible reason for her allure. I'm sick of it. I'm done with this. I'm obviously in the minority here.

[1776Forever]

41. Check this link out from Merriam-Webster Dictionary - Says it can be either man or woman

or in this case a Venal person - that is the one that sticks to me!

http://aolsvc.merriam-webster.aol.com/dictionary/whore

I think it was over the top some but again that is the only way it seems it gets picked up. While she is going on and on as is McCain with pure lies!

[myrna minx]

43. Look, I understand the real definition, and hell, I've probably even used it

too, in the past, but I have to say that I'm a little shocked by some of things I've read here lately. I too am outraged by Palin and her nastiness, but it feels like open season with some real sexist stuff here. I guess I just need a thinker skin. :pals:

[1776Forever]

46. I am a woman who didn't take this as sexist because of the political noun in front of it

I think everyone will take this in their own viewpoint. I do think that McCain and Palin don't think twice though at the filthy crap they are throwing out and the danger it imposes on Obama's safety.

[myrna minx]

47. I knee jerked, because of some of the true garbage I've read here.

I chose my battle poorly. I agree that Palin and McCain have crossed the line of no return with their hate rhetoric to whip up their lunatic base and that truly frightens me.

[tekisui]

26. Men can be whores, too.

Prefacing it with "political" neutralizes it.

[taddles]

31. Really....

And just how would you go after Palin in a manner equally offensive as her racist violence inciting attacks on Obama??? Please, don't strain yourself thinking too hard on this one.

[DevonRex]

33. He said political whore. That's not sexist. Just like media whore

isn't sexist.

There are some words that when used correctly are the best descriptors, like media whore and political whore.

I think Brokaw is a media whore. I think O'Reilly is a media whore.

I think McCain is a political whore. I think Palin is a political whore.

I am a woman and I approved this message.

[Uzybone]

30. Lets hope this doesnt get picked up by MSM

Calling a woman a whore (however true it may be) is politically stupid. We on this website can call Palin a political whore and a stupid bitch, but national commentators shouldnt use that type of language to describe a candidate.

Schultz does some dumb things sometimes.

[regnaD kciN]

35. Who cares...?

Ed Schultz isn't with the Obama campaign. If you (rightly) aren't going to hold McCain accountable for the bilge from Rush, the Savage Weiner, etc., there's no justification in making Obama responsible for "Big Ed."

[1776Forever]

38. Please see my comment #22

[ShortnFiery]

40. That's the way Big Eddy!

:thumbsup:

[FloridaGrl]

45. Go big eddie!

She is- she has sold herself for political gains.

[Ozma]

49. He just repeated it and called her a .....

political prostitute!


Geeze!

[PearliePoo2]

51. OMG!

:wow:
So, not only is he NOT backing down...he's escalating the rhetoric!
I missed his show on XM today.
Sounds like Big Eddie is really pissed today!

[BrightKnight]

50. .

[Generator]

52. I think she's more of a political love muffin

But I'm sure she means well ^wink ^wink and a shout out to the hometown boys she works for. (she's probably a ringer-you know Bush is paying her to sink McCain-oh yeah-like he wants McCain to win-please he never stops hating those we dared to stop him)
