They Want To See You Dead!

It's not just Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann bringing the crazy on cable news. Check out this short clip of Ed Schultz, who has an almost unwatchable show on MSNBC (with the creative title "The Ed Show"), clarifying Republican objections to ObamaCare:

No kidding. "Almost unwatchable"? That clip is standard fare from the beefy-faced Stalinist.
MSNBC scraped the barrel clean through and came up with something that calls the underside of rocks "home."

To Ed Murrow:

we're all very very sorry we let you down

aaack! flashback to attending fundy-Baptist church as a kid -- I bet this guy is a bible thumper who couldn't find a church......

""clarifying Republican objections to ObamaCare:""

I like the way the opposite team has to "clarify" the other teams point of view.

[John Tagliaferro]

Sounds like he just came from a coffee table meeting at the Student Union.

[TrickyVic]

kc, I think he has found a church, just not like you were thinking.

Church of the 24 hour news channel.

[Warren]

First I've heard of Ed Schultz. Has he been frothing like that for long?

[TrickyVic]

I think it would be funny if someone did a survey where the questions would be something like, which statment do you most associate with? Then list a statment from Bill O'Reilly, Keith Obermann, and Jesus. I bet it would prove how little of a Christian nation we are.

If the left wasn't "clarifying" (ignoring, misconstruing, taking out of context, and in any other way demonizing), they would have to admit their failure to present valid argument.

In fairness to him, you'd do/say anything to get your sorry ass out of the Fargo/Moorhead media market too.

I remember being inflicted with his sportcasts as a kid growing up in NW Minnesota. Absolutely no one I knew liked him back then either.

No, on all of television. But I still watch it every day. Everyone should.

And then we all should hang him.

Note the clever "OP ED" graphic on the screen? Comedy gold!

[Pendulum]

Ed Schultz's Air America show was actually the least outlandish and extreme thing on that network. He was reasonably mature and together for a partisan hack. He used to talk about how he strongly supported gun rights and that a political party shouldn't seek lockstep on every issue.

This is a ratings act. It doesn't make it any less despicable though.

[John Tagliaferro]

To complete the anti-government Libertarian Jihad theory?

If we can't hang him, can we at least scrawl "commie" on his chest?

I say we stomp him!
Then we tattoo him!

Here's what gets me about The Mister Ed Show - on the wall behind the guests, there are all of these meaningless pulsating bar graphs. Very hypnotic.

[Isaac Bartram]

Have to wait til I get home to watch the video. But there's plenty of crazy out there.

I heard an interview on NPR the other day with Faya Rose Toure, founder of the National Voting Rights Museum in Selma, Ala.

Her take on the tea party protesters:

There are those who lead you to believe that this will help black people, and you should be against anything that helps black people.

I could totally do that job.

This healthcare "debate" is quickly turning into the political version of a Red Sox-Yankees game. Both teams suck and I wish they could all lose.

Think big, iowahawk. Lyndon LaRouche as co-host for either Olbermann or Schultz. Hell, I'd never miss an episode.

Except where Jesus said, "Bring my enemies to me that I might slay them." With statements like that, Jesus could get a job on Fox.

With all the ruckus they make about not bringing terrorist into the US. Come on. But it sounds tough, so you might be right.

Was Jesus that lazy? I mean if you have enemies you want to slay, it's your job to go do it. That statement might not mean what it seems.

FWIW, his syndicated radio show has never been actually distributed or produced by AA itself; like Bill Press and Stephanie Miller's shows, it's been handled by (the former) Jones Radio.

[ll blow j]

bookworm,

You are taking it entirely out of context. Jesus was telling a parable about "a certain nobleman". The nobleman is saying those words. (sorry if this walls-up)

Luke 19: 11-27

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

[Ward S. Denker]

>The Republicans make Soylent Green. duh.

Sorry, I forgot about that. The Democrats use only organically grown, free-range, environmentally friendly people in their wafers.

Between puppy kicking and baby eating, I must admit that I do occasionally indulge in the gamey flavor of 100% free-range hippie.

TrickyVic,

Your article is actually somewhat funny. I especially like the quote from Heather Augustin in the article:

"You think, 'I'm carrying a bone in my neck from someone who didn't want to get chopped up,' " she said. "I'm, like, in total shock. What am I supposed to do with these thoughts?"

What's she afraid is going to happen to her? Is the ghost of some dead guy going to haunt her, and maybe rattle some chains and moan that he wants his stolen neck-bone back (right as someone is telling her story with a flashlight pressed close to their chin)? Is there some qualitative difference between the purloined bone and one offered up freely by a donor?

[bookworm]

Thanks, Moosecat, my memory wasn't exact, but I knew Jesus said something like that. Apparently, Jesus wanted his followers to do the killing and not himself which makes him even lazier that Tricky Vic thought.

Jesus wasn't all so much the loving person that lots of people like to believe about him. Matill makes this clear in his book "Sweet Jesus".

[John Tagliaferro]

Apparently, Jesus wanted his followers to do the killing and not himself which makes him even lazier that Tricky Vic thought.

"They want to see you dead" sounds like someone trying to incite violence.

[TrickyVic]

"""Apparently, Jesus wanted his followers to do the killing and not himself which makes him even lazier that Tricky Vic thought.""

I like the finger trick he does on Family Guy.

Remember, that's Luke's version of Jesus, tainted with his own bias. I'm not a religion scholar, but if I remember correctly there is no book of Jesus, only other people's version of Jesus.

So take what you read with a grain of salt.

Christians hate it when I say that.

[TrickyVic]

That is funny Ward. She didn't say she was worried about getting a disease or something since the parts were not properly screened.
Some people just have different priorities.

btw, that was a big story here. Not her, the body parts scandal.

[bookworm]

"if I remember correctly there is no book of Jesus, only other people's version of Jesus."

And there may have not even been a Jesus.

[cangrejos fantasmas]

"And there may have not even been a Jesus."

or a Muhammad or a Lao Tzu or a Socrates or...

[TrickyVic]

"""And there may have not even been a Jesus.""

True.

But I think most things are based in some truth. I do believe Jesus lived, but I have more of a Thomas Jefferson version than a Christian version. The reason I seperate the two is that Christians would say you are not one of them if you deny the resurrection, which Jefferson did.

But you know, just because I believe it makes it so. 😉

Cangerjos, are you calling Plato a liar?

[The Libertarian Guy]

Well, until they show up, here's all you need to know about Ed Schultz:

He's the evil mirror-universe version of Rush Limbaugh, though neither of them sports the goatee that identifies which one of them is FROM said evil mirror universe. (With Spock, it was easy to spot the difference.)

Schultz is a pompous, self-important cretin who is as steeped in his left-wing ideology as Rush is with his side. But Schultz has the disadvantage of being slightly less talented, and he's hawking an inferior product - though only by a few curly hairs' difference in quality.

Bottom line: They are both arrogant, pompous cocksuckers. That's all you really need to know.

[hmm]

I do believe god said.

"KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!"

[B]

Christ, this clown's ratings are so bad, it makes those of the John McEnroe show look positively O'Reillyesque by comparison. Seriously, who the fuck runs MSNBC? It is almost as if they are deliberately hiring any liberal hack just to see how bad the ratings can get. Hell, back before the election when we were being told how great the ratings were for the Rachel Maddow show, her audience was about a third of O'Reilly's.

[jester]

"Lyndon LaRouche as co-host for either Olbermann or Schultz."

That would be a fucking riot. When people say that the media is only interested in ratings, you can call bullshit on them. This would be like pay-per-view ultimate fighting. Very entertaining. Fuck! Maybe I am onto a new and better paying job.

Extreme Newsfight promoter:

jester: On the left side of the ring, Keeeiiith Oooolberman, hack tool of the Left. On the other left side, Executive Director of the Executive Intelligence Review, 'why the fuck does he call himself a Democrat other than the fact that he adores FDR', Lyndon LaRouche.

If I wouldn't have known better, I'd have thought that was a spoof of political commentary.
