Schultz Apologizes To Ingraham: "This Is The Lowest Of The Low For Me" (Video)
Real Clear Politics ^ | Wednesday May 25, 2011

Posted on 05/25/2011 7:49:00 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

On my radio show yesterday, I used vile and inappropriate language when talking about talk show host Laura Ingraham. I am deeply sorry, and I apologize. It was wrong, uncalled for and I recognize the severity of what I said. I apologize to you, Laura and ask for your forgiveness. It doesn't matter what the circumstances were. It doesn't matter that it was on radio and I was ad libbing. none of that matters. none of that matters. What matters is what I said was terribly vile and not of the standards that I or any other person should adhere to. I want all of you to know tonight that I did call Laura Ingraham today and did not make contact with her and I will apologize to her as i did in the message that I left her today.

I also met with management here at MSNBC, and understanding the severity of the situation and what I said on the radio and how it reflected terribly on this company, I have offered to take myself off the air for an indefinite period of time with no pay. I want to apologize to Laura Ingraham. I want to apologize to my family, my wife. I have embarrassed my family. I have embarrassed this company.

And I have been in this business since 1978, and I have made a lot of mistakes. This is the lowest of low for me. I stand before you tonight in front of this camera in this studio in an environment that I absolutely love....

Scultz's job was never in jeopardy IMO. This ruse is designed to demand the firing of conservative hosts who criticize liberals. Schulz is a "the end justifies the means" liar -- he's a Leftist, it's what they do. They love lying.

I bet he starts using a modern version of a hit from around 1960 as his theme song. It's a song popular with the Islamists (political Islam and Sharia law advocates) stationed here in the U.S.

The left is always soooooooo worried about how mean the Right is to radical Muslims. It's called Taqiyya .. give a listen

When I called Verizon/Fios to replace Comcast they told me they will notify Comcast. I said NO. I wanted the pleasure of cancelling Comcast.

Oh that’s the guy... ed... I’ve seen him. I had to almost immediately click away because I tasted vomit.

Oh, he’s insane, a freak show. As long as he’s on the air, this tells us just now nuts the far-left is, that he has enough viewers to stay on.

Nutbird of nutbirds.

While I have never watched nor listened to Ed Schultz, from what I have read and heard about him, he is a vile and inappropriate person. He sure as hell ain’t a man so I guess person is the right thing to call him.

RE: "I’ve just read that Jane Fonda told NBC to suspend Schultz for a week and that’s what just they did."

Jane Fonda of 1960s Marxist-Alinsky street/campus revolutionary rabble fame is involved? Yet only a tiny few of us believe that this whole thing is a ruse.

OK he was suspended and even "apologized." Now come the demands to show good faith, bring us together, and fire Michael Savage, Mark Levin . . .

There's a petition circulating here in California. When it was described as a way of bringing the two parties together I asked the guy if his group was funded by George Soros. He answered, "That's an interesting question." I told him I want the parties split apart -- that's how our system works!

I’m so shocked.....completely shocked I tell you...that MSNBC had a host on who was disrespectfull. I can’t believe it. I literally can’t watch a single show on that channel. I want to vomit when I hear or see Rachel. Chris makes my head hurt. Ed is so stupid I think he sets mankind back 10 years everytime he speaks. And the guy that left..Oberman...well let me just say I’ve heard 3rd graders with sounder reasoning. Pathetic channel. But this is not news..

In fact the only reason MSNBC even did anything is because he said it about a woman and they had to try and save face. Hypocrites

IMHO I think Laura Ingraham responded very well to the gutter speech of this vile little man, providing a study case for future conservative female candidates for office.

You must have missed his part about it being on his radio show and he was ab libbing...

Hey David Schultz, how is the professional golf going? Pretty tough to support yourself on $15,000 a year isn’t it?

No, I didn't miss that -- Schultz specifically eliminated that as a possible excuse. Here is the context: "It doesn't matter that it was on radio and I was ad libbing. none of that matters. none of that matters. What matters is what I said was terribly vile and not of the standards that I or any other person should adhere to."

That is a thorough apology.

“actually I am impressed. Liberals never back down and apologize like that.”

I’m not impressed. He was FORCED to apologize, I’m reasonably certain. He grovelled to save his job.

Not particularly honorable IMHO.

“This is the lowest of low for me.”

No its not Ed. You hit this low at least once a week. This time you just got suspended and your job is hanging in the balance. Now you have to grovel around and try to make somebody believe you. Sounds like Laura ain’t taking your calls. Sucks to be you.
