Obama Shill Ed Shultz Gets The Axe At WINZ


"Big Head Ed" Schultz has been canceled from http://940winz.com Miami/Fort Lauderdale

radio. Miami, one of radio's largest media markets has seen the slipping ratings of the Ed Schultz show for months and replacing him with a Live show of Thom Hartmann.


I told you...Randi could (should) be next! Then...Steph M..you know..all the radio f's perpetuating lies about Hillary and promoting Obama as a saint, the ones who hate Hillary supporters enough to openly insult on national radio. Democracy haters who scream Hillary should quit...how dare she!


Toodle f'ing loo!

63. I like my version better...

[mod mom]

64. Nice Photo but don't you see the irony of her standing in front of JOBS? If not read this:

Hillary Clinton has made statements unequivocally trumpeting NAFTA as the greatest thing since sliced bread. The Buffalo News reports that back in 1998, Clinton attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and thanked praised corporations for mounting "a very effective business effort in the U.S. on behalf of NAFTA." Yes, you read that right: She traveled to Davos to thank corporate interests for their campaign ramming NAFTA through Congress.

On November 1, 1996, United Press International reported that on a trip to Brownsville, Texas, Clinton "touted the president's support for the North American Free Trade Agreement, saying it would reap widespread benefits in the region."

The Associated Press followed up the next day noting that Hillary Clinton touted the fact that "the president would continue to support economic growth in South Texas through initiatives such as the North American Free Trade Agreement."

In her memoir, Clinton wrote, "Senator Dole was genuinely interested in health care reform but wanted to run for president in 1996. He couldn't hand incumbent Bill Clinton any more legislative victories, particularly after Bill's successes on the budget, the Brady bill and NAFTA."

Clinton to renew Normal Trade Relations with China


June 2, 1999
Web posted at: 4:51 p.m. EDT (2051 GMT)


WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, June 2) -- President Bill Clinton will notify Congress Thursday that he is renewing China's most-favored-nation (MFN) trading status -- now known as Normal Trade Relations (NTR) -- for another year, CNN has confirmed.

MFN/NTR status offers low tariffs and treats countries as normal trading partners.

The formal notification, required by the Thursday deadline, is expected to trigger a major debate in the House and Senate due to allegations of Chinese espionage against the U.S. and other recent diplomatic tensions, including charges China tried to influence the 1996 presidential election with illegal campaign contributions.

One of the first speak out against Clinton decision, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California), derided the president for making the decision near the 10th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.

Clinton Proposes Renewing China's Most-Favored Trade Status

Congressional reaction mixed amidst larger China policy issues

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, June 3) -- President Bill Clinton on Wednesday proposed renewing most-favored-nation (MFN) trade status for China, saying it was "clearly in our nation's interest" as he urged Congress to support the request.

-snip

House Speaker Newt Gingrich welcomed Clinton's recommendation for renewing MFN status for China, and vowed to work in a bipartisan manner to ensure that China receives it from Congress.

Gingrich, joined by Reps. Bill Archer (R-Texas) and Philip Crane (R-Ill.), made his comments in a letter to Clinton.

-snip

House Democratic leader Richard Gephardt issued a statement Wednesday opposing Clinton's plan to extend China's trading status for another year.

[rodeodance]

32. Yes, GREAT---thanks for the post.

[totodeinhere]

115. So only pro Clinton talk show hosts should be on the air?

[dionysus]

2. you're calling for every high rated lib talker to get fired... tune in rush and get it over with...

[rodeodance]

12. What sillyness. hillary supporters do NOT listen to Rush. Do you?

[GarbagemanLB]

14. Then why did Bill go on it?

[Qanisqineq]

19. he didn't

it was a taped interview from some other show that the fill-in host on Limbaugh used. The host asked questions then played the taped interview answers to make it sound as if there was an actual interview.

[TheDebbieDee]

26. Didn't you get the memo?

Bill Clinton didn't go on Rush's show. A talk show host sitting in for Rush played an audio tape recording of the Big Dog answering questions at a town hall meeting or some such event.

And that is that!

[GarbagemanLB]

39. link?

[rodeodance]

42. You made the claim that Bill was on Rush--you back it up. It has been debunked here on DU

[rodeodance]

33. That is LIE--you need to update yourself.

[leftynyc]

How many are you going to post this LIE? n/t

[dionysus]

17. well, you shilly's have slagged the entire line-up of lib radio so...

i guess you're left with rush and hehehehe..... hannity...

[indimuse]

28. noooooooo...

that's NOT what I'm calling for. How about HONEST and EDUCATED radio? What is wrong with that??I used to listen to ED 3 hours a day...EVERYDAY! For almost 4 1/2 years...back when he had the anger alert..I helped his ratings climb...via word of mouth...and donations. He has changed! Not for the good of OUR party.

[Renew Deal]

29. Rush supports Hillary

So he is acceptable to the Hillary clan.

[rodeodance]

37. You folks have jane Fonda

[leftynyc]

81. I'd like a link to where

Rush endorses anything in the Clinton platform? Any link will do.

[susankh4]

69. We don't have to "call for it" ....

their advertisers can see what's happening.

Lionel, BTW... is doing a good job nowadays! Staying pretty even keel. I never liked him til now. But he is keeping his eye on the ball, IMO. McCain is the "enemy." He gets that.

[GarbagemanLB]

3. Wanting to overturn the pledged delegate winner...who is against democracy, again?

[papau]

18. 90% racial group voting does not win a general election

[mcctatas]

35. Oh puke...

you suck!

[Cooley Hurd]

4. Awesome! I hope Maddow, Hartmann are next! Down with Progressive Radio!!!!

What the fuck is WRONG with you?:grr::eyes::thumbsdown:

[dionysus]

8. they've lost their minds... i'm telling you, they've lost it...

[redqueen]

76. Cue *cult of personality*

and all these traits... throwing anyone who doesn't agree with them about Hillary under the bus... acting like a cult... defending rightwing leanings... all of this they project onto Obama's supporters. Truly pathological.

[info being]

86. They never were on our side

[Evergreen Emerald]

9. What is wrong with you? How is Ed Schultz's constant triads against Clinton Progressive?

He is not progressive. He is a shill who has done nothing since January of 2000 but take up the cause he left when bill Clinton left office--and that is to attack Clinton relentlessly.

It is not progressive.

[Cooley Hurd]

11. "Triads?"

Is he flinging triangles at Clinton?:crazy:


INCOMING!:rofl:

[dionysus]

38. ROFL x 5

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

57. Either that or he's now a member of the Chinese mafia. n/t

[Evergreen Emerald]

112. oops

double latte in the AM is apparently too much for my vision.

[Cooley Hurd]

113. Oops is right, rd...

:eyes:

[Evergreen Emerald]

118. what?

Thanks, I am certain you have never made a mistake.

[Cooley Hurd]

119. Hee hee!

:hi:

[indimuse]

15. no..he has

caused alot of damage in my o...


I often wonder...with the kind of campaigning Ed, Randi, Steph have performed for Barack...could it be said...lol...Obama WAS campaigning in FL...just wondering...wink.

[rodeodance]

16. there is NOTHING PROGressive about left radio hosts who demean a Democrat like Hillary.

[indimuse]

47. NO there is NOT!

That was killing me...Randi is just as bad!

[VolcanoJen]

22. Gawd, really

:eyes: :eyes: :eyes:

[rodeodance]

52. Good on the decision to kick Ed out.

[Cooley Hurd]

61. You think so, Evergreen Emerald?

:D

[VolcanoJen]

70. Who will you have left, after you've purged every progressive voice in America...

... for refusing to support Hillary? This isn't about you, and it's growing more and more clear that it isn't about her, either.

:eyes:

[Evergreen Emerald]

111. YOu are wrong. It is not about "support" It is about vicious attacks

He can call himself progressive all day, but his constant attacks are not progressive.

[NYCGirl]

5. Yeah, but he's just been added to the AAR New York City lineup! NT

[Mika]

6. YEAH! Now we've got Thom Hartmann in that time slot.

:party:

Great to hear informed conversation and interviews.

Ed 'wind sock' Schultz is about one thing and one thing only - Ed Schultz.

[karynnj]

7. This is not good for Democrats in general

I suspect that Schultz reaches more moderates and independents than Hartmann.

[rodeodance]

10. REC

[Maribelle]

13. Funny thing, we could pick up 940 here on the west coast and I had to turn if off a while ago.

I once listen to it exclusively on the 'drive at five' - - but I could not stand one more second of the lies about Hillary and the way they were incessantly mocking her.

[rodeodance]

45. i stopped listening a while ago when he was crying day after day about

how Hillary would not appear on his show. te he

[Maribelle]

65. He was on Fox News this week, yet I did not hear the Obama supporters screaming over this.

Strange thing, that selective outrage from Obama supporters!

[rodeodance]

77. strange indeed.

[UALRBSofL]

20. OP I'm not surprised at all about this

First, he is an Obama supporter and in South Florida Obama is not liked very well over some statements he has made. And supporting Obama on a radio show down there isn't a good direction for the show. In addition to that, Mel is very popular down there and that doesn't help Obama either.

[indimuse]

34. It's not that he supported

Obama. It is how he distorted and perpetuated lies about The Clintons with such venom. I was embarrassed for him and our party.

[rodeodance]

50. Thanks for the local point of view.

[Blondbostonian]

85. This is a bold face lie

I listen to 940 (I live in Ft Lauderdale) and the overwhelming number of callers on the local morning show are Obama clalers.

You have no support for Obama being disliked. You made it up in fact.

[Maribelle]

87. What makes you think Hillary supporters are even bothering to listen. I shut off 940 long ago.

Seeing that Obama is pulling a shameful 37% in Florida, and this count would include Hillary supporters that will vote for the nominee regardless, it is a safe assumption that a large number of Hillary supporters no longer bother to listen to the constant Hillary bashing on 940, never mind call in.

[mtnsnake]

21. K&R!

thanks for posting this, Indimuse. Makes my day.

Toodle f'ing loo!

:evilgrin:

[indimuse]

36. lol!

merci....and OX!

[zulchzulu]

24. Please call in so we can laugh our asses off at how inane you are

That's probably the funniest thing about Hillary supporters who call in the shows. They are usually just flat out stupid as a bag of rocks.

Please call in!

:rofl:

[Renew Deal]

25. And the republicans celebrate

Have fun ladies.

[rodeodance]

31. Repugs celebrating Thom Hartmann?---Silly of you to think that.

25. And the republicans celebrate

Have fun ladies.

[susankh4]

71. Yes they are

laughing about how Ed, Randi and K.O. are dissing their own.

Gives them time to diss McCain.

Before they go in for the kill on Mr. Obama.

[Qanisqineq]

30. good riddance to Schultz

he was an ass no matter who he supported. I remember him from his conservative days and when he was a sportscaster on the evening news in Fargo. My boss (at the time) knew his ex-wife. She told some stories and if I believed only half of those stories, he was a complete asshole with a violent temper.

[rodeodance]

40. Thanks for the background.

[indimuse]

43. I'm over it!

I was one of his hugest fans...I can say that with confidence...he broke my heart.

[Qanisqineq]

54. sorry, indimuse

I know many democrats in the eastern ND-western MN area that remember him from his conservative days and cannot stand him. Do I believe he "saw the light" and became a democrat? Yeah, I guess. But as someone that heard too many stories about him and saw him on TV and heard him on the local radio back then, it doesn't really matter what he does now, I can never truly be a fan. Without knowing any of his background I might have liked his progressive show, who knows. I have listened to it in the past and there were days I agreed with him and thought the show was ok but I've heard too much about him in the past to be objective.

[Beacool]

41. That's life.............

What goes round, comes around!!!

:eyes:

[Auntie Bush]

44. Now that's good news!

That man is so irritating...I can't understand how or why anyone can listen to him. I guess a lot of other people were turned/tuned off too.

Watch out Steph, Randi and Keith...you're next. Stop spreading lies about another Democrat. We have enough Right wingers to do that. Dems deserve your support...whether their your favorite or not!

[SeaLyons]

46. Great News....

Schultz has been such a detriment to the Democratic Party. Nothing but a Hillary hater, along with Randi, Stephanie - they all should get axed. Bias hate mongers.

[ronnykmarshall]

96. I'll never give up on Steph and Randi.

Once the nomination is done. I'll turn them back on. Right now I can't stand them.

[BigD_95]

48. this is a sad day

anytime a left leaning radio host gets the "Axe" is a bad thing.

Right wing radio has controlled the airwaves for a long time. I just dont understand how a Hillary supporter can be happy about this.


This is the problem I have with Hillary she only cares about herself and not the party, Now her supporters are acting the same way.

This is the main reason why she needs to drop out of the race. She is dividing the party.

[rodeodance]

58. It is NOT progressive when a Democratic Pres. Candidate is constantly demeaned!!--its

show a long of journalist integrity.

[Cooley Hurd]

66. Ask Mark Penn, eh, Evergreen Emerald?

:D

[Beacool]

84. Wrong!! The Great Uniter is the one who divided the party.

Schultz has been spewing crap about the Clintons for a very long time. Why should we be sad about his demise on radio?

[Bake]

103. It's the host's fault.

No radio host in his/her right mind would alienate half the audience. When ratings suck, hosts get fired. That's the way it works.

Bake

[Araxen]

49. Well Ed just got picked up in NY, so I'm sure he'll take that trade

and day of the week.

[jacjr]

82. picked up NY what a laugh

Sorry to say he replaced Thom Hartman. His show will follow 3 hours of prerecorded health commercials. Now thats an audience builder!

[NoodleyAppendage]

51. Enjoy CENSORSHIP much?

I guess anyone who doesn't lap at the teets of corporate DINO/DLC candidates is bad in your book? WTF???

Look in the mirror...there you will find NO TRUE Democrat. Begone to Repukeland.

J

[rodeodance]

55. hey---read upstream before you spount of. The locals did not like his tirades day after day.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

59. Are we talking Pythagorean or Chinese triads here? n/t

[Cooley Hurd]

60. The word is "tirade," rd...

Both you AND Evergreen Emerald misused the word in the SAME way. If I didn't know any better, I'd wonder if EE is you sockpuppet. Hmmm...

[ieoeja]

62. That would be "tirades".

And I never liked Schultz. He was always too rightwing for me.

[Cooley Hurd]

110. Edited, but not forgotten...

Busted...:D

[Bake]

104. It's not censorship, it's RATINGS.

Any host stupid enough to alienate half his audience deserves to get shitcanned. And if the shoe were on the other foot (i.e., Ed lying about Obama) you'd be first in the poutrage line.

Bake

[Cooley Hurd]

56. I forgot to mention - I just LOVE your signature graphic...

...and I took the liberty of enhancing it, so it reflects reality a bit more:


:rofl:

[madwivoter]

67. This is a great thread.

Very enlightening. :sarcasm:

It's kind of revealing that a lot of folks here are happy to see a liberal talk show host lose a slot...

What would you be saying with a microphone and the chance for thousands or millions of listeners to hear what you had to say? Would you be able to have an ounce of objectivity?

:popcorn:

[Bake]

105. Obviously Ed doesn't.

And he's not exactly the most liberal host out there anyway.

Bake

[susankh4]

68. I have been predicting alot of this....

as more and more of these left wing talkers jump the shark and turn on half of their audience. Yes... a good, strong HALF of their Dem listenership is still pro-Clinton.

I think we'll see more and more cancellations. Ed. Randi. Even our beloved K.O. is skating on thin ice.

Ratings are everything for the talker industry. EVERYTHING! A 50% drop ain't no joke.

[Qanisqineq]

72. What I think is freaking hilarious

is how Big Ed used to be hated by sooo many on DU.

"He's not liberal!"
"He is a republican out to make money!"
"I'm calling and writing letters to get him off the air here!"
"He sounds like Rush!"
"Get him off the air!"
"He doesn't know anything, he doesn't do any research!"
"He never switched to being a progressive! He's full of shit!"
"How can my station get rid of {insert host here} and put him on? I'm getting him off the air!"
etc.

Now, he supports Obama so he is some great liberal talk show host?

:rofl:

Fucking hilarious.

[truth please]

73. We have one in the Bay Area that hates Obama

should we get rid of her too! She rails on night after night after night about Sen. Obama. Crying foul every night of the week for three hours. Do I like it, no but do I want her censored from the airwaves, hell no. You call in and disagree but to be hopeful that the handful of progressive talk show hosts be fired because they don't agree with you is stupid. My God, it doesn't take much to stir the hate does it? Why do we love to take people down that don't agree with us? So you really want to live in a world where there is no dissent, where everyone agrees with you? As much as I hate Rush Limbaugh I listen to all sides including Rush, Hanni ty and a few of the right wing nuts because I like to hear what other people think. If you didn't like what the man was saying all you had to do was turn off the radio or turn the station.

[indio55555]

74. Wow Ed, Steph & Randi???

Then who’s going to be on air? When was the last time Hillary went on one of these shows during this campaign? Exactly NEVER. She’s too good for the talk radio crowd. This is just like her theory that “little states didn’t matter” now all this is biting her in the ass.

[rodeodance]

78. She is smart. She knows they are NOT progressive as they claim.

[Liberal Veteran]

79. Uh-huh. So only "true progressives" support the Clintons.

Funny how "true progressives" are aligning themselves with the DLC which dragged our party so far to the right that we now basically have two right wing parties.

[cooolandrew]

75. When most LIBERAL broadcasters are for Obama. THere is a clue in that, they ain't stupid.

[dpbrown]

80. Good

If you're in liberal talk radio, don't take sides.

[beachmom]

83. What a stupid post and sentiment. Ed Schultz was cut from Norfolk, VA in '06.

That meant no liberal talk radio in the area where I was. So you disagree with him now; well how about in 6 months or a year? I bet you you will be agreeing with him again, but sadly, there is one less station he will be on. And enough already with "backstabber". We are in the middle of a primary; some have chosen to back Obama, while others back Clinton. All are still Democrats, and to suggest that anyone who doesn't back Clinton is a "backstabber" amounts to an authoritarian view thoroughly undemocratic.

[Sean Stuart]

88. Purge them all! All dissenters must be replaced by Richard Melon Scaife!

Hail! Hail! Hail!

[Cant trust em]

89. Get on board the Clinton train or you're going to be laying on the tracks.

The Shillbots won't get their way until we're out of democratic pundits on the air. If you're not for Clinton then we don't need you. Just like they don't need me and Obama supporters and the anti-war left wing of the party.

[Pawel K]

90. Yeah, lets also get rid of Olbermann, Richardson, and every other true progressive

because they see Hillary for what she is.

And you people actually claim with a streight face you don't want to see this party destroyed? I am sick of this DNC bullshit, I hope after Hillary loses we won't be hearing from them again.

[book_worm]

91. yes, all of liberal talk radio must be "idiotic". Hurrah! Rush still is going strong

promoting Hillary.

[Basement Beat]

92. Wait, is this really DU??

People are actually excited that a left leaning talk show host is getting the boot? And then are calling for others to get kicked off?
Are you serious?

Don't you guys realize how important these voices will be in the fall when we are facing the RW machine???

[ronnykmarshall]

93. Remeber when Eddie was ...

a "fake democrat", "Rush sounding", "Too right wing"???

Remember when DU'ers flamed him?

Now he's "the voice of The People" because he's attacked the Clintons 24/7.

[Bake]

106. That totally cracks me up!!

The hypocrisy is staggering.

:hi:

Bake

[TexasLady]

94. Rush thanks you for your post.

[PVnRT]

95. Yes! Purge the dissenters!

:eyes:

[azmouse]

97. All those anti-Clinton people must be sacrificed on the altar of ambition.

:eyes: Hate everyone who disagrees with your queen. Off with their heads.

[BigD_95]

98. I listen to Ed

everyday at work online and you are right that he wants Obama to win and gets on Hillary.

BUT

He lets callers on all the time and gives them as much time as they want to defend Hillary or speak good about Hillary and make bad points about Obama.


Its not like its all pro Obama and bashes Hillary.


So whats the fucking problem!?!

He doesnt talk over them or cut them off

[indimuse]

102. you need to be a lil'

more honest. Ed would get angry red ---interrupt--AND BASH the Clintons. NONE of the three..(maybe Randi a while back) EVER scrutinised or REALLY researched Obama and ALL the surrounding issues that have and will haunt him. They pick and choose...and rarely admit fault or make room for reason. They are ABSOLUTE in their opinion, click!

[Ronnie]

99. WINZ has a very strong signal.

When I lived in the Keys, I drove to North Palm Beach quite often. I could listen to Stephanie and/or Ed all the way. They made the trip a breeze. Then the Hillary bashing started. After that, I listened to CD's.
A restaurant owner I know says, "I don't serve what I like. I serve what my customers like. That's how I stay in business." Looks like Ed lost his South Florida franchise. I really hope it doesn't happen to Stephanie as well. However, when I stream her I'm only able to listen a few minutes before she starts the Hillary hate. And it is hate, even if she's trying to be funny.

[susankh4]

100. OMG! Randi is suspended and Ed has just complimented Hillary!

I can't believe it!!

Yep, AAR has gotten the message!

[DefenseLawyer]

101. Is it really necessary to call a fellow Democrat a "shill"

simply because he backs another candidate? You can disagree with the guy, but why make it personal? This isn't a fight to the death. If you treat it like one it becomes a suicide pact.

[knixphan]

117. exactly.

[VeraAgnes]

107. Beautiful ...

Additionally that Marvin jerk who fills in for Schultz is much worse than Hannity, Limbaugh, Bortz put together.

Thanks. Thom is a sincere Democratic Radio Talk Show Host.

[madrchsod]

108. need to get some pc radio people on air america

that way maybe hillary will go on air america

[durrrty libby]

109. More wonderful news.He and Randi are despicable ignorant thugs

[totodeinhere]

114. That's the radio business. Shows get canceled all the time.

Don't read anything else into this.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

116. two down....bye bye randi and ed
