the news for the public. However, it is time for him to stop beating the drum for Obama to come to Wisconsin. I have listened to him interview union leaders who have said that they prefer that the President not come to Wisconsin because it would distract from the movement that has been so effective by the people. He just ignores them and continues his rant. If he wants to beat a drum, put efforts toward encouraging people to sign the recall petitions. If the people feel abandoned by the President, they will speak at the ballot box. But this time is for the people of Wisconsin. He should pound CNN, MSNBC, ABC, Faux, CBS and others for ignoring voices of the people of the United States while they chase uprisings in Libya, Egypt, and other hot spots around the world.

1. I don't really care which windmill Ed chooses to tilt at, since the end result will
be the same.

2. Ed is a media whore
A fat Arianna Huffington in a suit, nothing more.

5. I would never trash a liberal voice .
We have so few of them..................we are pulverized daily with GOP brainwashing talking heads; it attributes to lost elections and I am so sick of the suffering....I would really appreciate support for the Democratic discussion.

IF it wasn't for Big Ed, the only ones covering this mess would have probably been FOX NEWS. Even Rachel and Lawrence didn't jump on it, until Ed Schultz.

9. Who did Ed used to be?
Is he like Arianna, moral leader, or is there something else going on?

3. Ed Shutlz views may be different from yours at this moment, but one does wonder what it will take
for Wiscosnin to receive some help.... Our fab 14 are being told there voice is being blocked from here on in... So sorry if you feel this drum beating needs to stop, but a lot of govt. workers have had their jobs taken away from them.... Those that have jobs have seen their health care double, their days furloughed and their benefits taken away... So Big Ed can keep banning the drum loud and as long as he wants.....

6. Obama could endear himself
to working class Americans if he was more forceful and supportive. And it would FORCE the media to cover the struggle. I think Ed is right on the money.

7. Obama's actions or lack of action I should say does not make me want to vote for him.
"Where else you gunna go?" "fucking retards".. I plan on going fishing...I don't think Republicans could ever have gotten anywhere near what Obama has given them if they were in Charge..

12. Go fishing, then.
You will have no grounds to complain what happens to you after that, by not voting you willingly abdicate any responsibility as to how this nation is governed, for good or ill.

Good strategy. I commend you on the strength of your convictions.

11. It was this very subject that made me realize Big Eddie just reads from the scripts they give him.
It's all propaganda.
One network makes no effort to disguise it. The other two do.
