Ed Schultz Is On Fire for Bernie

[bfealk]

Today in Madison, Wisconsin, Ed Schultz stepped to the microphone and delivered a ringing endorsement for Bernie Sanders. This video is the last 11 minutes or so of his speech to Bob Fest.

1. Good for Ed he seems like he'S on the pay roll for him

[jwirr]

17. Why on the payroll? He is just a great supporter who

is known and willing to speak out. MSNBC did cut him off because of it but I think eventually there will be better things.

21. Big Eddie....on Bernies "payroll"?....LOL

No.
That is how the NeoLiberals and NeoConservatives work with Super Pacs and Dark Money.
Bribery is just SOP with them.
They have done it for so long, they no longer see it.
It is one of the issues Bernie Sanders, and Ed Schultz, stand publicly against...Bribery in politics.

Ed Schultz has been supporting these same Working Class/Pro-LABOR issues since I started listening to him broadcast out of North Dakota. Bernie doesn't have to bribe Ed Schultz to do what he has been doing regularly for at least 10 years.

2. He's a lot more fun in real life than he was on MSNBC.

Does kinda piss me off I dozed about bob fest though. I missed something good.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

3. Amen!

[SmittynMo]

4. Gee, ya think he's "all in" for Bernie?

Ed, just like so many more of us, have this strong passion with Bernie.

Regarding Cheney, "can you believe they gave that son of a bitch a new heart"? He never had one to begin with!! Best line in the presentation.

5. I've always liked Ed

But now even moreso. I hope he keeps hard-chargin' for Bernie right thru to the White House!

[jwirr]

18. I watch is ipod on WeGotEd.com and he is great since

he is no longer answerable to the higher ups like GE.

[Plucketeer]

20. Indeed!

Fresh coffee and Ed's podcast gets every weekday morning off to a great start!

[MissDeeds]

6. Yep

And Bernie is on fire for us!

Feel the Bern!

7. Thank you so much for posting that.

I never did watch him enough when he was on MSNBC (no TV, and even though they streamed his show a couple of hours after it was broadcast, I just didn't get around to watching often enough).

It is sheer joy to see him so energized over Bernie.

9. I remember catching flak here on DU for supporting Ed

Back in the day.

It was ugly.

10. Love Big Eddie!

Used to listen to him on the radio. How about making him Secretary of Labor in Bernie's Cabinet?

I just signed up to attend my first Bernie Volunteer meeting on Wednesday night. Very excited to get involved. Maybe it's a good thing that I had to retire.

11. My boss would appear on his show to explain various things about the BP Gulf oil spill

when something would happen. Ed called him one day last Spring not long before he was let go telling him he was going to do a show on the gulf about the health of the Gulf waters 5 years later. When he and his producers came down we had several clients lined up for him to meet to explain how corrupt and screwed up the Class Action Settlement was and how they are all still waiting 5 years later. Ed thought like most people that BP settled all of the claims with a 20 billion dollar fund. Once he found out that was not true he did a full week of stories. We warned him that BP was the biggest advertiser on the Gulf and one of the biggest nationwide, he might get some pushback from MSNBC. He said I can do what stories I want and I will not be censored. He knew it was a risk, but he knew it was right! Once he backed Bernie so strongly they cut him!

This is a dirty war and our side hasn't known they were at warn due to the disinformation campaign waged by the media oligarchy. Bernie has vowed to clean this up too. This is not just an election, this is a fight for our very Democracy! Which side are you on? Sitting on the sidelines is the same as siding with continued corporate control.

[JDPriestly]

14. Yes. Thanks.

[Enthusiast]

12. I love Ed Schultz! The reason he is no longer on MSNBC is because he told the truth.

[JDPriestly]

13. K&R.

[Scuba]

15. Ed was indeed on fire yesterday.

Me too. Man did I get sunburned, although only on the right side of my face.

Great Bob Fest! Thanks for posting.

BTW, John Nichols was on fire too as were several other speakers!!

[PotatoChip]

16. I love this guy!

He should run for some kind of office himself.
