Ed Schultz Tells Robert Gibbs He’s ‘Full Of Sh*t’ And ‘You’re Losing Your Base’
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/01/24/schultz-gibbs-exchange/









If you listen to the whole thing, he says that Keith, Rachel, Adam Greene, Katrina , and Ed are all invited to the SOTU

[fascisthunter]

1. I Really Think They Could Win

and he'd probably win in a landslide.

[OHdem10]

2. The Serious problem Conservative Democrats have is they have

run giving the impression they are kinder gentler Republicans.
They have almost ignored the Democrats in their states and
have competed directly with Republicans for the Business Vote
and Republican citizens.(Half the country does not vote and
there is a reason).

When you have run as a kinder gentler Republican, calling
yourself a Democrat, you cannot attack Conservatism as
the engine that drove us into the ditch. ADD. You insult
your Republican Supporters.

[Dave From Canada]

9. No, he'd probably lose in a landslide. ND went for McCain 53% - 45%

[PassingFair]

17. Yeah, but McCain was a WHITE GUY.

I think Ed would kick ass.

[Dave From Canada]

22. How'd the white guys do in New Jersey and Virginia? ND is a conservative state. Ed isn't going to

change that no matter how much he "kicks ass."

[PassingFair]

23. If Obama can get 45% there...

then Ed can get 55%.

[rpannier]

27. ND voted for Reagan, Bush I, Dole and Bush II

And yet both of their Senators are Democrats

Hmmmmm.....

[Chisox08]

31. Ed is from Minn. not ND

He just broadcast his show from Fargo ND

4. I wish

that telling Robert Gibbs he was "full of shit" and he was "losing his base" would have made it on air. He is truly full of shit.

[Gman2]

5. I love big Ed. And if we had his heart, we wouldnt be timid, as a party.

[Mithreal]

11. Agree with the sentiment, but the populists among us don't seem timid.

It is the corporate flacks who might prefer the populist message not get out. We may be looking at this the wrong way. Not entirely sure I am right, just putting it out there, but will give it some more thought.

[BenjaminFranklin]

6. I hope Ed changes his mind and runs for senate

More like Ed, Allen Grayson, Anthony Weiner, and Dennis Kucinich.

[amb123]

7. Sounds like a candidate to me!

:patriot:

[Mithreal]

12. I prefer a populist fighter just about any day, even a former conservative like Big Eddie.

Odd that so many don't seem to get it. Even conservatives love a fighter and will elect one that has progressive views.

Talking to real conservatives, even angry ones, I can tell you they respect someone who gets right back in their faces.

[abq e streeter]

8. Every Democrat needs to be speechifyin' like this AND THEN MEAN IT

Go Big Eddie. I don't always agree with everything he says, and yes he'll put his foot in his mouth every once in a while, but he is on our side all the way. This is how you take populism back from the people who so cynically have stolen it.

[Mithreal]

13. Well said. And they were able to steal it because we left it out so someone could.

[abq e streeter]

14. re: "left it out so they could" ...not just "out" but on a silver platter

[Mithreal]

15. absolutely

[LatteLibertine]

10. I like Ed

far better than most of the sell outs currently in DC. As another said, I like Alan Grayson quit a bit too.

Most of 'em are too busy washing Goldman's Sachs to care about 90% of the United States population.

Honestly, I hope people keep flipping incumbents until we get one that will represent the people over the most wealthy minority.

The most wealthy may have the cash but we have the numbers, ie the votes. Put them bastards out.

[Overseas]

25. Me too. Well said. //nt

[butterfly77]

16. When did Ed hold this rally?

[cal04]

18. last night

http://www.am950ktnf.com/node
Last night, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz spoke at Minnesota progressive talk radio AM950’s Blue State Bash at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

[Left Coast2020]

19. It sure sounded like a campaign speech to me!

But maybe he can't run now because Supremes had more of a corporate candidate in mind--for now at least. Hopefully later it will be his time. Perhaps he could run against that DLC jackass Kent Conrad. But Ed's right. We can't stop fighting. If we do stop, well, use your imagination.

[Sherman A1]

20. Which begs the question.....

Why are you not running?

[ProgressOnTheMove]

21. Take it to 'em big Ed. I'm still in Pres. Obama's corner but ...

it's just as important there are folks telling him some home truths too. No-one can afford to live in a bubble.

[MidwestTransplant]

24. Talk is cheap

[Larry Ogg]

28. Yup...

[Overseas]

26. K&R! Go Eddie! That was beautiful !! We're gonna stand by you, so you

have got to stand by us !!

[DailyGrind51]

29. Then RUN, damn it!

32. Why does he remind me of LBJ?

That's not a bad thing...

[Phoonzang]

33. I'd love to see a Schweitzer/Shultz ticket!

[Ticonderoga]

34. I don't agree with Big Ed

on all the issues he champions, and am often at odds with the delivery of his message. But the guys heart is in the right place and his cause is just. I would back his campaign, and would certainly vote for him in an election if given the opportunity.
