I am so sick of Ed Schultz wanting dems to cater to the repugs

[RagingInMiami]

He is on right now trashing Murtha for "not supporting the military" because of Murth's comments about recruitment.

Schultz also trashed Kerry when he said that he did not believe that this war was winnable.

Basically, he is trashing them for speaking their minds. I think it's about time that dems are speaking their minds.

1. I've been listening to big Ed for several months now.

Just turned him off and went back to Randi.

[RagingInMiami]

2. I have to wait until he's done before Randi comes on

We only have one liberal station down here.

[Walt Starr]

13. I stream at work

So I can switch as I please.

[RagingInMiami]

37. So what times does Randi come online?

She comes on at 6 pm on the radio down here

[Walt Starr]

38. Smae time Big Ed starts on so many carriers

3:00 PM EST.

[leftchick]

3. from the very start

I have suspected Ed of being a repuke/DLC type plant. I am not thrilled he made the US Military airwaves.

[Beelzebud]

4. Ed Shultz is not one of us. I came to that conclusion by listening to him

He trashes Howard Dean, and praises Chuck Hagel.

That tells you all you need to know.

The fact that he is now trashing Murtha is not suprising to me.

He's a "former" Republican. Kinda like those people we see from time to time that are "formerly gay".

Now I know. Arianna Huffington was also a Republican. But I judge her for what she says now, and now she's liberal.

Shultz: Not fooling me!

[RagingInMiami]

9. Yes, he loves Hagel

I even sent him an e-mail a few months back pointing out that Hagel was CEO of a computer voting machine company when he upset an incumbent. Of course, that e-mail never got acknowledged.

[tridim]

18. Is Ed Shultz the guy Randi talked about on CSPAN?

If so, then yes, he's strait-up, bought and paid for DLC. He took the money, Randi didn't. I've never listened to him because I've been content with Randi for the past 5 or so years.

[madfloridian]

24. Yes, that is the one. He took their offer, she did not.

And it is beginning to show.

[movonne]

23. I have always thought he was put in by the right....

[proud2BlibKansan]

31. He is behind Cindy Sheehan 100%

I met him in Crawford. Had a nice visit. He was definitely anti-war.

[madfloridian]

35. He is anti-Dems....the ones he is told to be anti to.

Keep an eye out. Watch Randi's interview on C-Span. Hear about the lunch and the recruitment by the Democratic party. The ones who still support the war.

[FreedomAngel82]

42. I saw that

Good for her.

[FreedomAngel82]

40. With Huffington

I haven't read/heard enough to say she is a liberal. Probably just speaking truth and common sense. :) But as I said I haven't really followed Arianna but I do like her. I tried listening to Ed but I get really weird vibes from him. :shrug: I didn't know he praised ES&S Hagel.

[Algorem]

5. he just helped Bush just now by basically saying Murtha's a drunk,too

Bush had said something about 'these decisions must be made with sober judgement'.Schultz said it was a veiled shot at Murtha's sobriety because Murtha 'likes to tip a few'.Does Schultz come out of cover to do damage control spin and such for Republicans?

[Vincardog]

6. You are correct. Big ED is a republican whose wife convinced him he would

find a bigger audience on the left side of the argument. He changed his label but still spouts RW talking points. We need to get rid of Ed and put Randi back on the air live.

[Lex]

8. I thought both Ed and Randi were on the air?

:shrug:

[Vincardog]

25. Ed is on live. Randi is tape delayed here in N. TX

[Lex]

7. There are lots of choices in talk radio now days!

Maybe one of the other radio commentators would be more to your liking. Like Randi Rhodes, for instance?

[RagingInMiami]

12. Randi and Mike Malloy are my favorites

But down here, Schultz is on before Randi on the same station.

[LSK]

10. listen to Malloy and it will balance out

Or just skip both and listen to Randi.

[Beelzebud]

16. I'll stick with Randi and Mike. Ed can go piss up a rope.

[LittleClarkie]

43. I'd rather listen to Randi

I don't need Mike trashing Dems from the opposite side.

Ed's weird. One minute he's saying the Dems aren't speaking out enough, then he's not happy with their message.

Still, he supported Cindy, and has been pretty kind about Kerry since Kerry's people called him up and asked to be on his show. I suspect he has a bit of an ego.

Even so, he's my first progressive radio guy, and if he can speak to moderates, then that might be a good thing.

[Botany]

11. I agree ....... Ed is an intellectaul lightweight.

Murtha has 2 purple hearts, a bronze star, and years of service to the Marines and this country he
has earned the right to say what he wants. Murtha was talking about not joining up so as to go
to Iraq which he deems a lost cause.

Ed gets good #s but does not really understand the issues.

[Ksec]

14. Murtha showed Dems how to act. They ran from him

Murtha showed real courage and courage seems to be an endangered species in a sea of dull gray mushmouth politicians.

[Richard Steele]

15. I gave Ed a two-week trial; then I never listened again.

I don't think he's actually a liberal;
I don't think he actually has strong feelings
about many of the ideals he claims to support.

I think he's a phony.
I think he's just a little-known radio show host
who is trying to cash in by PLAYING THE ROLE of
the "Anti-Limbaugh".

[LeahD]

17. He got under my skin today too......

saying that Bush was doing the right thing by being out on the stump today pushing the Patriot Act, and he made a statement about Murtha going too far...(or maybe he posed the question wondering if Murtha had gone too far). Turned the radio off after I heard that one.

edit for spelling

[Algorem]

19. + he's constantly spitting all over the microphone.

[Pharaoh]

20. ed really sounded like a jerk

he is a DLC guy, a corporate guy........

he's no lefty as he says....

[QC]

21. He's a witch! Burn him! Burn him! n/t

[madfloridian]

26. He has gone after Dean, Kerry, and Murtha. He is out of line.

Yes, he needs to be called out on this. If the radio hosts representing our side attack our leaders we don't have any hope.

[QC]

27. And if he says something tomorrow that people here like,

then this place will sound like a bunch of adolescent fangurls discussing Orlando Bloom. People are either saints or demons around here--there's nothing in-between.

[madfloridian]

28. That is not the point.

Yes, it does get extreme here. But there are times to get mad at someone. Big Eddie in his self-importance is hurting our party. People did not say much when he went after Dean, called us a cult, the usual stuff. He has attacked nearly everyone but the centrist Democrats.

Watch the interview on C-Span with Randi Rhodes, and see what she says about who she and Ed Met with. No doubt what is going on.

If you want to listen to a radio host who bashes unfairly Kerry, Dean, and Murtha...then feel free. I choose not to do so.

[RagingInMiami]

29. When someone criticizes dems for speaking their minds

Something they haven't done since last century.

It's hard to take a middle-of-the-road approach.

[LincolnMcGrath]

33. Ed is wrong, once again!

[mtnester]

45. If there is a grenade on the floor, we do not need a supposed Dem

like Ed Schultz picking it up and lobbing it our way.

[efhmc]

22. I used to listen to AAR 1600 when in Austin and made sure to patronize

the advertisers and to tell them that I was there because of AAR. Now because that icky sounding, nonprogressive Schultz is on instead of Randi, I listen on xm only.

[jim3775]

30. 1-877-934-6833 is the call-in number

Call in and challenge him.

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. Good luck

It took me an hour to get through when I called.

[TheWebHead]

34. just a correction

it was Dean who said the war was not winnable, not Kerry.

[RagingInMiami]

36. You're right

Too late to edit.

[FreedomAngel82]

39. Me too

I do think we should show republicans why they should vote for democrats but we shouldn't cater to them and make us change what the party believes in. And anyone who tells another person to shut up is just plain wrong and quite honestly undemocratic.

[LittleClarkie]

41. Was he out of line when he called Cindy nearly every day

and even went down to Texas to support her?

No one will agree with anyone 100 percent of the time. All take all the liberal radio I can get. He's my only local progressive radio guy. I can also get Randi in later in the afternoon. Occasionally I've heard Mike as well.

I prefer Ed and Randi. Mike can kiss my grits most days, since he goes out of his way to trash Dems from the other side.

[proud2BlibKansan]

48. Hey give me a high five Little Clarkie!

Ed was the only radio personality I saw in Crawford. I love Randi but I am puzzled as to why she wasn't there - or Al or Malloy for that matter.

[dflprincess]

44. I was pretty fed up with him today as well

But I think he does reach a demographic that Franken and Rhodes can't. As long as he complains about the Bushies he can help us.

[leeroysphitz]

46. Schultz bites... If you have Sirius and want an alternative in the

same time slot (for me it's the LONG drive home from work) I recomend Michalangelo Signorile on Out-q 106. Excellent liberal talk, informative without all the shouting and bluster...

[derby378]

47. Ed Schultz bumped Randi on KXEB 990AM in Dallas, too

If you want Randi brought back live on AAR in Dallas, tell Darren LaPorte of KXEB:
