1. But.....but....

..other people did bad things too. Why can't he be upset at that?

I mean doesn't he know that other people doing worse things means our side doing bad things isn't important?

4. Can we please stop with the purist stuff and get back to talking about beating Republicans?

5. Not a big Ed-fan....

I think Ed plays to the passion the same way limpballs and vannity do. He's really not that great for the progressive movement, in my humble opinion. I'm often turned off by his bully-style, and I really think he hurts the cause as much as he helps...at times.

I know he means well...but I think we need to be more focused on getting the truth out there, and pushing back on the lies and BS....but his tone is not helping, as he's more in the vein of limpballs and vannity than in providing information.

2. Where does he rip the Whitehouse?

Might want to change the title.

6. It is mislabeled. He doesn't rip the White House - At All

But about Ed Schultz. To the guy who asks "Is he the best we've got?" Damn right. I love Maddow and really like Keith Olbermann, but Ed Schultz defies every liberal stereotype, and if we're going to expand our progressive base, Ed is a key component. He is the everyman.

He fishes, hunts (Michael Moore is an NRA member), and used to refer to himself as a meat-eating gun-toting liberal. We need more people like Ed. He is the most passionate media figure we have.

8. I agree...

3. Really? Is this the best we've got?

7. Deserves 100+ recs for this: "They're not a news organization, they're a propaganda organization"

And the prior fighting words.

Even if TPM carelessly titled it.
