So Ed goes on his radio show and uses the term right wing slut...

[ClusterFreak]

...to describe Laura Ingraham...and he has to grovel for forgiveness on the air to keep his MSNBC job. He was wrong and very stupid to say what he said. His apology was warranted. Meanwhile...over at Fox, Glenn Beck says President Obama hates white people....and...crickets. No probs Glenn, no apology necessary, no suspension forthcoming, no nothing. Carry on with your hate speech, your lunatic fringe conspiracy theories...everything. You're good to go. And the only reason you'll be leaving your show later this year is because your ratings are way down. Not because of the fucked up, shameful garbage you spew out of your fetid gob every night, but because you no longer pull in the numbers you once did.

Words fail.

1. well, I've called her a right-wing shit.

Is that worse than slut? If so, I will write MSNBC and ask them to suspend me without pay for a week.

5. i've called her a corporate whore. i'll say it again, she's a corporate whore. there.

nbc can dock my pay too. but i won't apologize, cause she's a corporate whore. nasty, nasty stuff in her book. evil stuff.

2. It seems the right-wing in the U.S.A. makes the rules about

what is acceptable and what is not.

[Hannah Bell]

9. what is funnier is how they are using "political correctness" to humiliate the dems.

like the right-wing slime machine really care if a woman gets called a slut.

they only care how they can use it to their advantage.

3. this is not fair

I think this goes beyond the" crime should fit the punishment".
I am done with msnbc as soon as Olbermann is back on the tube.I can only hope Rachel and Ed join him.

[Hannah Bell]

4. +100. has any winger media figure *ever* had to pay any kind of price for the crap & lies they

spout?

i mean, the folks over at fox lie & namecall on a daily basis, & i don't think anyone has ever had to apologize for any of it.

same with limbaugh.

have they ever been called on it? have they ever had a show cancelled, appearances cancelled, sponsors cancelled?

such a phony spectacle.

6. Classic case of IOKIYAR.

I don't approve of anyone using ad hominem (or ad feminem) attacks, but in light of the unmitigated SHITE that rightwing radio hosts get away with every day, this is nothing.

[Hannah Bell]

10. +100, but what is iokiyar?

[Old and In the Way]

11. "It's OK if you are Republican"

It's a universal truism.
