why the HELL is Ed Schultz interviewing this idiot?

[CTLawGuy]

This dumb goober who put up a sign that says "President or Jihad" is being interviewed on The Ed Show and being allowed to spew his insanity that Obama is a muslim who wants a religious war. WTF is wrong with Ed?

[HipChick]

1. Need to expose these idiots..

[CTLawGuy]

3. treating them as if they have intelligent things to say

is not "exposing them."

[CatWoman]

5. I beg to differ

12. Letting him speak DOES expose him. We all saw how ignorant he is. n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

16. I agree with you. Every nutjob in the country thinks he can have his 15 minutes...

on the back of this president. And there are ratings whores like Schultz only too glad to give it to them. How can you guys watch that bilge? I'm sorry, but it only took me two episodes to come to the conclusion that Ed sucks as an interviewer. Never looked back.

17. glad someone agrees

treating him like he has a legitimate point of view not only legitimizes him and the birther/secret muslim conspiracy movement, but it encourages other yahoos to post similar signs so they too can get on TV.

19. Exactly. (nt)

[Norwood]

2. People need to see these crazy shit heads for what they are.

Kudos to Ed for having this scumbag on.

4. sunlight is the best disinfectant nt

[polichick]

6. He said that these folks need to be exposed. nt

[Nitrogenica]

7. People need to hear the crazy.

9. I know

lets put David Duke on This Week with George Stephanopolous. After all he needs to be "exposed" too. :eyes:

my point is, that unless the person has somewhat legitimate views, they should not be put on TV. This guy is saying that Obama is a secret Muslim out to make war on the US. What does Ed hope to accomplish by arguing with that?

Some people are so insane you can't argue with them.

11. David DuKKKe could at least give his hate speeches coherently

This fucking clown looked like he just walked out of a padded cell. And needs to walk back into one for his own safety.

10. Great segment -- shows that you can be well-spoken but still woefully misinformed

Usually we only see the crazy teabaggers with misspelled placards and size XXXL 'Murkin Flag t-shirts (Made In China; purchased from Wal Mart) screaming "Show us the birthastificate!" This guy helps illustrate how the lunatics are often right there in the same room with you -- that they don't have to be "Deliverace" banjo-pickers to be a little scary. Nothing wrong with giving them airtime if it ultimately helps the larger cause.

13. typical republican!

[Nite Owl]

14. Because he is an idiot.

Same with Palin, the Repukes hate these people then they have to get on and try to not defend them while getting their base aka their voters upset. The more people see this type the more they fear the Republican party. Good deal for the dems.

[Clio the Leo]

15. And he cut off Howard.....

..... I'd rather have listened to Dr. Dean speak for the entire hour than 10 seconds of that other BS.

[euphoria12leo]

18. I haven't watched Ed in weeks

and the one time I decided to this POS is getting face time. His business wasn't doing well I guess so he decided to generate sales by putting up this hate sign. Now he claims people are coming in. I didn't hear him say they are buying cars unless I missed something. He also said he's getting death threats and bomb threats. If his business goes up in flames the authorities will scramble to look outside for someone responsible. This "I'm not a racist" guy will collect the insurance and move on. But not before he goes on Fox claiming Obama supporters did it. Oh what a better way to get out of a failing business. Set your business on fire and blame it on someone else. After all the authorities know he was getting all those bomb threats.
