Crap... Ed Just Called Obama "The Capitulator In Chief"..

[WillyT]

Nuff said.

[baldguy]

1. Ed Schultz is dead to me.

Nothing he has to say has any meaning.

[WillyT]

6. Well... For Some Of Us... It's Just The Opposite...

:shrug:

[defendandprotect]

14. +1 --

think the lid is coming off -- !!

[FreakinDJ]

20. +1000

[nc4bo]

21. +2.

Can't defend the indefensible and won't, no matter what.

[MissDeeds]

82. Word! n/t

[Raine]

43. EXACTLY nt

[Butch350]

65. The population is split fitty/fitty...

[Fearless]

68. +3

[Bluesbreaker]

76. About time Ed stopped being Obama's apologist

Even Ed knows there are some lines that can't be crossed, without undermining the party's core values.

[Faygo Kid]

89. +4

[601Liberal]

13. Ed is right

Obama seems scared to lead. Huge numbers of Americans are against these extreme, mean-spirited measures the GOP are pushing, but he won't fight for them. Meanwhile, the GOP keep making a fool out of Obama. The more he gives in, the more they'll keep picking at him, just like a bully. STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK, OBAMA!

[dflprincess]

26. I'm not so sure the reason he doesn't fight isn't that he agrees with the GOP n/t

[The Big Vetolski]

74. He won't. Because he's one of THEM. Look at the facts, dude! nt

[Bluebear]

39. is that so.

[Ikonoklast]

87. Schultz told people to stay home last November.

That is so.

He helped to undermine any support in the legislature Mr. Obama desperately needed.

[KoKo]

94. Oh...so now Ed is Ralph Nader? Or, Jane Hamsher or Glenn Greenwald, Joan Walsh,

Michael Moore, Dennis Kucinich, Paul Krugman and the others who are "under the bus." :shrug:

[Chan790]

96. Is it a sign of anything that I like all those people better than Barack Obama...

well, except Nader.

[KoKo]

104. lol's...we who "seek truth in reporting" are really in the minority these days..

is what I think......for what it's worth.

[Raine]

44. Just keep your head buried in the sand

yeah that'll work. :eyes:

[bvar22]

55. Ed Schultz was being nice.

He could have called him "The Cave Man."

[Divernan]

84. Why? Schultz is not the one violating Ghandi's Seven Sins

"Gandhi's Seven Deadly Sins
-Wealth without Work
-Pleasure without Conscience
-Science without Humanity
-Knowledge without Character
-Politics without Principle
-Commerce without Morality
-Worship without Sacrifice

Fight the parasites that get fat on America's fear! (thanks Rachel!)"

This is the quote you have on your own profile. I suggest "This above all else. To thine own self be true. And it will follow as the night, the day, thou canst not be false to any man."

[Deep13]

86. There's only so many nice things one can say about the President without being a liar. nt

[comtec]

93. WHY? because he's right about obama?

O sold us out.
he was never one of us, he never had out best interest at heart and he's N E V E R fought for us against the republicans.
where...HOW can you still defend obama?

[flamingdem]

2. Remember he tends to go off before the facts are in

Then he comes around..

[defendandprotect]

15. The facts have been there for more than two years -- where have you been?

[flamingdem]

18. And haven't you noticed that Ed is a major Obama cheerleader, we'll see nt

[SusanaMontana41]

22. True dat. n/t

[defendandprotect]

28. If Schultz was "cheerleading for Obama" it would ring hollow --

look at what Obama is actually doing --

80% of the public want an end to the wars --

74% and more of Americans want MEDICARE FOR ALL --

over and again this is betrayal of US citizens --

And now he's after cuts in Social Security and Medicare -- after already

cutting COLA's -- !!

The Koch Bros. funded DLC turned the Dem Party and its candidates upside down --

and that isn't Schultz's fault --

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. better sounding than Mr. Caveman

[SugarShack]

He has stabbed democrats in the heart. Not even a republican prez did this.

[Octafish]

23. A repuglian president couldn't to that.

Which is what's so very wrong about the Democratic leadership's approach to all the nation's problems since 2008.

Why raise taxes when we can cut social spending?
Why pay back the looted Social Security trust fund?
Why are we expanding the wars without end?
Where are the jobs programs?
Why do George Bush and Karl Rove run free while Don Siegelman and Rick Scrushy live in fear?

It should be getting pretty obvious something is very wrong.

[Melissa G]

85. Something has been very wrong for a long time now.

They Own our elections. They Own our candidates even when they let them win.
A deplorable state of affairs.

[SusanaMontana41]

4. I'll give him that. n/t

[madrchsod]

5. we will see.......

[Bluenorthwest]

7. Well said Mr Schultz

That is about it.

[LLStarks]

8. Ed's just a loudmouth who thinks he's a populist. He needs to be more like Rachel. nt

[I hate liars]

73. True, but when he's right, he's right...

I agree that Rachel is miles ahead of Schultz, but occasionally, Ed gets it exactly right. Like now.

[elleng]

9. Damn. Glad I didn't watch; Nova instead.

[OHdem10]

10. He was reporting that Obama was offering changes in Entitlements

for Tax Cuts from Republicans.

Sad but true, Obama always puts himself in a position
of weakness in beginning negotiations. By doing this
Obama is undercutting the Party's position. No Medicare
cuts was the Party's ticket for some wins after the
Paul Ryan Budget. Now Obama will be the Medicare, SS
and Medicaid cutter.

[The Big Vetolski]

75. Just like Clinton was the destroyer of welfare and the architect of

NAFTA. When will you dyed-in-the-wool Democrats wake up? The DLC is the death of us all!

[somone]

11. The title fits the pattern

[defendandprotect]

12. It's been obvious from Day #1 --

how much longer could it be denied?

It's been said about a thousand different ways since he picked Koch Bros/DLC Rahm Emmanuel --

and since he picked his Wall Street/Big Money team -- those who created the meltdown!!

And it's been said every time Obama has moved to corporate/elite appeasement -- whether

on 'PRESERVING' THE PRIVATE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY -- as Rahm "crowed" about it -- :eyes:

or making deals with Big Pharma to prevent Medicare from negotiation on drug prices!!

Whether it's been taking single payer off the table - or whether it's been extending

the Patriot Act -- or tax cuts for the rich.


On and on -- on and on -- you know the song!

[Bandit]

49. But, but, but he coined the phrase "Main Street, not Wall Street"

:shrug:

[Dappleganger]

16. If the shoe fits.

[corpseratemedia]

17. If...and IF..obama cuts medicare, medicaid and ss he will be for me the worst president ever

i have worsening neurological problems ...he will be terrible for me

if he caves, does he not realize that books will also be written about how AWFUL his legacy really was?

[Fearless]

69. You and so many others will be hurt if this happens... will be making a second call...

To the WH hotline... :hi:

[KG]

19. Ed just doesn't get google dimensional chess.

:eyes:

[pennylane100]

24. I do not approve of many things that Obama has done BUT

the fact of the matter is that if we lose in 2012 we are so screwed that even Bush will start looking good. There is way too much at stake here including the survival of the middle class, the right to unionize, the right to control our own bodies, etc, etc.

I know that as democrats, we take pride in our way of handling our differences but this is one time we should all hold our nose and support our president, and with all his problems, he is the cutest president we have ever had.

[somone]

25. Indeed

[pennylane100]

35. Wow.

[Big Blue Marble]

27. It looks like we are screwed, period!

Maybe it doesn't matter who the president is.
No one is looking out for our welfare any more.

[defendandprotect]

30. Basically ....

what you have is corporate/fascism having taken control of our government --

I don't think its exactly the time to give up!!

This is the Rise of the Fourth Reich -- believe it!

[defendandprotect]

29. If you lose Social Security and Medicare and New Deal what will you "win" in 2012????

Does it dawn on you yet that every time you vote for the "lesser evil"

you move the party and Congress further to the right?


Maybe it will take another 10 years of war for you to stop "holding your nose"?

What right to unionize -- Obama is also destroying that --


:eyes:

[pennylane100]

34. One of the things that Obama has done right

is to appoint Hilda Solis as secretary of labor. She was one of the most pro union people in the house. And yes, we may take a step back in the medicare fight but with a republican president it will go away entirely. The best way to win the war is to fight the battles you can win. There is no way we can replace Obama as our candidate for the 2012 election but he, on his worse day, is better than a republican on a good day.

[defendandprotect]

40. You may not replace Obama, but that doesn't mean voters will be or him ....

especially if he attacks SS and Medicare, he will destroy the Dem Party --

Did you somehow miss that Obama/Duncan are attacking and destroying public education

for the benefit of charter schools? Attacking teachers and their unions?

Again -- if you vote for the lesser of evils you will continue to move the party and

Congress to the right!

[pennylane100]

54. and if you don,t?

If you are faced with two options, one bad and one suicidal, unless you have a death wish, you would choose the bad one.

[defendandprotect]

60. And your answer is to continue to move deeper into corporate/fascism? Don't think so --

The longer we wait the more difficult this will be --

Moving any further to the right is the real death wish --


Liberals are a huge voting bloc even now -- and as they are coming to understand

their futures and their children's futures are being destroyed by the rise of the

right and corruption of government -- which our Democratic Party and its leaders

have failed to repond to.

[sabrina 1]

77. If you don't? Maybe things will just collapse faster, instead of

more slowly.

What happened in Wisconsin? That is a microcosm of what would happen if a Repub won the WH. It wakened people up finally. It started a movement. Had a Dem won, things would be still sliding downhill. With Walker they just slid faster paving the way for a turn-around.

I think people are done with the lesser evil strategy.

It's time for the people to stop following and start leading.

I will support only Progressive Democrats.

I could never, ever support someone claiming to be a Democrat who touches SS. That is cruel. Those are the most vulnerable people in this country and anyone who takes even a dime from them, is NO Democrat and no better than a Republican.

[fascisthunter]

81. snap out of it

[Chan790]

99. Horseshit...

the best thing we could do is make it clear to Barack Obama that he should pull an LBJ and refuse to run for a second term.

The man is toast; the only way we will salvage the WH in 2012 is if he doesn't run.

[A Simple Game]

46. Bush couldn't gut SS, but Obama can, want to know why?

Because Democrats will let him. I'm starting to think we would be better off with a Republican president, at least then the Democrats would be united against him. Now many of us just wring our hands and say it would be worse with a Republican. Well I for one am starting to have a hard time seeing the difference.

[femrap]

56. The Military Industrial Complex

and the interest on the debt is what is costing us a fortune. Why pick on sick and poor people? Obama does what he is told by TPTB. Unfortunately, TPTB are sadistic psychopaths.

I wish I had been born in France or Germany. Do you think that Americans will become the 'new illegal immigrants?' I can't believe what our nation has become.

I know the nation is in complete decline...I wish the 'leaders' would just admit that so we could stop all of this wasteful war spending.

TPTB are pushing for WW3 or maybe it's Crusades 2.

Sometimes I hope the Mayans and Hopis are correct and the Planet shifts on its axis and we get to all start over. Because humanity has stepped over the line of decency/civilization.

[neoralme]

70. A few people on this board have said the same thing todayl. Bush

couldn't get SS privatized. McCain couldn't have either. The Democrats would have spoken as one.

[WillyT]

50. Really... REALLY ???

Because he's cute?

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Ya know... THAT may be the last remaining good reason to vote for him.

I just don't find ANY OF THIS... cute.

:shrug:

:hi:

[pennylane100]

52. were you last in line when they were handing out sense of humor genes.

of course this is a very serious issue, but a little light reflection will not change anything.

[WillyT]

57. I Don't Want To Talk About My Humorectomy...

It's too painful...

:D

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[FiveGoodMen]

63. One side wants to shoot you in the face, the other wants to slowly suffocate you

Sure the second option's better?

[neoralme]

71. Not if he cuts entitlements.

[The Big Vetolski]

78. Read your own words and think about them. Your first sentence is

right on. But what is Obama doing to insure the survival of the middle class, whatever that means? What is he doing to protect the right to unionize? For that matter, what is he doing to protect the right to control our own bodies? Answer to the latter: REQUIRE us to buy private health insurance. Come on, the answer is zip, zero, nada.

As for as your second sentence, I should vote for him because he is CUTE? Don't insult my intelligence. I'd take crippled FDR or homely Lincoln over this Republican in Democrat's clothing any day.

[The Big Vetolski]

80. And yes, I KNOW Lincoln was Republican. But he was the DUDE!

[Deep13]

88. Look, I'll always vote against fascism to the degree I am given a choice.

But to say that Obama has been anything other than a gross disappointment and a colossal failure would be disingenuous.

[OwnedByFerrets]

95. I have to hold my nose to read your post...I heard repukes

say the same thing about Monkeyboy. "I just love W...he is so damn cute"

[spanone]

31. scissorhands?

[WCGreen]

32. Well, Ed has taken the view that adopting the trappings of the right is

the way to go...

I see that and understand it but I don't like it.

I see the efficacy of it, but it's not for me...

[Chisox08]

33. Is ED waking up to the truth?

I'm sorry but Obama caved to the right every chance he got, and the Republicons still call him a socialist who is unwilling to compromise. It's hard to support Obama when he undercuts the position the the Democratic party has held for years and the bargining chip that the Dems used against the Ryan budget.
I wish Obama would stop giving the Republicons what they want. Stop negotiating with economic terrorist.

[LoZoccolo]

36. Ed Schultz: now on the automatic unrecommend list n/t

[Vanje]

37. Go Sid! nt

[WillyT]

53. LOL !!!

:evilgrin::rofl::evilgrin:

:hi:

[Ignis]

61. !

:spray:

[Horse with no Name]

38. Accurate. n/t

[rufus dog]

41. I remember when he went off on Obama during the budget talks

RIPPED HIM A NEW ONE FOR DAYS! Then the final deal came out, remember?

[Raine]

42. Ed is TOTALLY on point

unfortunately. :-(

[slay]

45. When the shoe fits..

i could not be more disappointed in Obama - and all the young voters he really let down in a MONUMENTAL way. :(

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

47. Another achievement to be added to "The List".

[jefferson_dem]

48. Haha...

Blowhard much?

[amborin]

51. K&R either capitulator or willful accomplice

[FiveGoodMen]

64. I think it's B) Willful accomplice

Final answer.

[Hubert Flottz]

58. I guess pResident Bachman could do better?

:sarcasm:

EDIT...The DLC is GOPer lite!

[MadMaddie]

59. Same Ed that told people up to the Election day not to vote for Dems?

I have a love/dislike relationship with Ed. He doesn't know anymore than anyone else and is knee jerking everytime some piece of so called news comes out......and we have seen many instances where his response was based on not so accurate information.


I will wait until the facts actually come out on paper on to what is going to occur. I hope others start doing this. Facts and Data are all we can really rely on, the MSM is full of shit and yet many continue to grovel at every piece of crap that comes out.

[Pisces]

62. Ed's a fucking idiot who looks bipolar day to day with his opinions of Obama.

[Blue_In_AK]

66. That's surprising,

seeing that he's been an Obama apologist up until now. I guess everyone finally reaches the limit of what's "okay" with them.

[neoralme]

67. Don't care for Schultz but in this case he is as right as rain.

[on point]

72. He speaks the truth!

[DeSwiss]

79. K&R

''...you can stand back and look at this planet and see that we have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love and the community to produce a kind of human paradise.

But we are led by the least among us - the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary. We are led by the least among us and we do not fight back against the dehumanizing values that are handed down as control icons.''

[MissDeeds]

83. K&R

Ed was being kind. Obama is a pathetic excuse for a Democratic leader.

[larwdem]

90. ed is right

:toast:

[supraTruth]

91. Tell Ed to tell Obama to tell boehner&cantor that CONgressional pay will be 1st cut if DEADline is

missed! HIT THEM IN THE POCKETBOOK!

GAME OVER!

[kestrel91316]

92. Ed's just speaking truth to power.

[4dsc]

97. Sound's good to me.

I got Ed's back on this one., Lets see how much more the President can cave.

[robcon]

98. Ed is the definition of what the White House called the "Professional Left."

No satisfying him.

[blkmusclmachine]

100. Ed's being too kind.

[bertman]

101. I've been calling him that A LONG TIME, but I'll let Ed take the credit. REC. nt

[caseymoz]

102. No,"cave man" fits nicely. nt

[oldbanjo]

103. I don't care much for Ed, he's just another load mouth.

Obama is the only person that will help the old and the poor. I think Obama is setting himself up to use the 14 amendment. He will be able to say that he offered everything to the Republicans and they refused. They want the country/Obama to collapse, Obama is making sure that no one can say that he did something that he didn't have to do to save the country. He is covering his ass.
