Ed Schultz to be on Countdown tonight

[SharonRB]

He's going to talk about how he was pulled from Armed Forces Radio the day he was supposed to start (yesterday). He was all set to go on air there yesterday and got a phone call yesterday a.m. telling him it wasn't going to happen.

Can you say "censorship"? KO should do a great job with the story.

1. I heard part of Ed's show yesterday and one of his callers

said that he should let Keith know what was going on and that Hardball would want to cover it.

I love the way our dots are all starting to connect after watching the Rethugs do it for so many years.

2. morons on the right

Too stupid to realize that agreeing to the show then pulling it does far more damage than never agreeing to begin with. :popcorn:

[SharonRB]

8. I heard that caller yesterday, too

I'm glad Ed or someone on his staff followed through and that KO thinks it's enough of a story to have him on tonight.

3. I'll be watching. Thank you Sharon.

I was so excited that our soldiers would be hearing the other side, this is infuriating censorship. They are out there risking their lives and all they get to listen to as far as opinion from back home is Oxycontin Boy. It's a disgrace. I'm glad Big Ed is fighting back and will be on air. I've never actually listened to him but I understand he is a very popular on-air liberal radio host and would have been a perfect foil for Rush. Let's hope Keith can help get the outrage going over this.

7. Ed's not my favorite, but I love hearing him on my local Rush station..

they started carrying his show, delayed, in the evening.

Ed's got a a good "middle America" vibe down,
and I think a lot of folks might be more comfortable
with him than my favorites, Randi, Mike, and Steffi..

[SharonRB]

10. Randi and Steffi are my favorites, too

as well as Nancy Skinner who's on here locally. Franken is okay and I don't mind Ed once in a while. I can't stomach Springer, though.

9. The caller referred to above said

if they make this public enough, he'd probably be on AFR within three weeks. Let's see if the outcry does any good.

4. Thanks for the heads up!

I heard the beginning of Ed's show today , and he was livid!

5. They aren't even trying to hide it anymore

Ed Schultz plays audio of Allison Barber coaching the troops and then she just happens to be the one to call and tell him he's not going on AFR.

6. Thanks a brazillion, Sharon.
