Republicans Claim Another Liberal Scalp
apologists blame ed schultz for daring to grow hair.




And if Ed Schultz had accused a Black President of not really being an American he'd still be on the air.

1. There is a level one should not stoop to if you want to consider
yourself better than the "others". If you want to be taken seriously, why stoop to name calling?

Slut???? come on, Ed is better than that.

6. Yes, a talking head on television calling someone names is really hoisting the banner.

8. Time to escalate. Ramp up the rhetoric. MORE insults, and more offensive
ones.

Stop playing defense. Stop playing nice.

Sweep the leg.

17. Or we could just respond to the bullies the way they should be responded to
and taking the high road just doesn't work when bullies are involved.

But then, you knew that. I see the game you're playing, I'm copying this response, and every time you post that little pap smear of a comment, I'll be there to paste in this one.

You're going over the top and you know it. I'm shutting you down.

STOP. NOW.

18. you can't ever really be sure, can you?
"I have a lot of experience with bullies. I 'took the high road', never fought back, and tried to 'ignore it and it'll go away', in the words of my parents. I only got more bullied, more harassed, and more picked on. Had I taken one single, well-timed swing to the jaw, it would have stopped- probably all of it.

Republicans are, at the bottom, a pack of bullies. We should not be working with them, we should not be reaching across the aisle, we should not ever be apologizing to them; we should be trying just as hard as they are to destroy them completely. I guarantee you, apology to them or no, they will continue exactly as they have.

Yet here we are, arguing about whether we should apologize to them when one of us says something mean. What we should have done is engaged in some constructive framing- is she a slut, really? I don't think so, but you can't ever really be sure, can you? I bet the history file from her browser at home has some interesting things in it. But she is a corporate whore, a Wall Street whore, a Bitch for Business. And we should have hammered that home, over and over again until she appeared on camera, tearfully sobbing that we've ruined her career and she just can't appear any more because "we're so mean".

We could have 'claimed the scalp'. Instead we handed one of our own over on a silver tray, along with an engraved invitation to just fuck us all the harder.

I give up. All y'all can go straight to hell in a gilded carriage with purple cushions, trailing clouds of glory and sacred smoke for all of me. The number of people willing to throw this guy to the wolves on this board is just astonishing. With friends like these, we deserve to lose."

11. This is such tremendous bs I' m embarrased
To be a woman and a Democrat. Ed has done more to help and energize this pathetic excuse for a political party than anyone since Howard Dean.
To think a progressive person of any gender could turn on him now when he most needs support makes me want to puke all over those phony, elitist feminists with their Seven Sisters degrees.
Go suck rotten eggs with your new soul sistah, Laura.

16. Wow
Even Schultz knew he screwed up and admitted it. If you want to look at it that way, he's turned on himself, since he failed to live up to his own personal standards.

You can't "man up" as much as HE did himself?

12. Or if he was Dick Cheney and told a US Senator to 'go fuck himself'
Or if he was a member of the US Congress and during the State of the Union address called the POTUS 'a liar'.

13. Another log to toss on the bullshit fire
"Liberals are the real misogynists" right alongside "Liberals are the real racists" from the party who knows all about being both.

19. a liberal claimed his own scalp
though Ed began as a conservative and adopted a liberal stance for his own economic purposes after sensing he wasn't going anywhere in a crowded field on right wing talk radio.
