Click to see Ed Schultz's unhinged meltdown.

On the Wednesday evening edition of "The Ed Show," MSNBC commentator Ed Schultz stated Republicans want Americans to die, enjoy when middle aged women contract cancer, and then suggested moderate Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine should allow tumors to spread through her body if she ever gets cancer.

Schultz, whose program runs between episodes of Hardball, began his program by discussing the story of a woman who came to a health care town hall meeting sponsored by Rep. Eric Cantor, R-VA. The woman told of her uninsured friend, a middle aged woman with stomach tumors. Incensed that Cantor did not immediately suggest socializing one-sixth of the nation’s economy as a result, an increasingly unhinged Schultz began screaming (starting at 5:14 in this clip):

The Republicans lie! They want to see you dead! They’d rather make money off your dead corpse! They kinda like it when that woman has cancer and they don’t have anything for her…My God, Democrats, what’s wrong with you?! You can't deal with these people, at all!

After equating the GOP with the Cancer Caucus, Ed brandished a death wish against Olympia Snowe...

I beleive we need to mass a large campaign to get the DNC to denounce this sort of rhetoric. I know it sounds like I am joking but I am not. Pelosi has the nerve to use crocodile tears about the verbiage in the 70’s (of course it was the right wings fault) we need to use this to WAKE UP AMERICA to the true facts of live....It’s the lefts verbiage. Folks please spend a day posting this on your facebook/twitter/my Space pages............ You make an important point; imagine if Sean Hannity or Rush had said something like this? We would have heard nothing else from the media all day. But it's been nearly 24 hours, and aside from readers of FreeRepublic.com and NewsRealblog, no one has even heard of this story. The dinosaur media will never expose this. We have to. It's a real story of the power of the internet -- and, "You have the power!" :)

The picture alone says it all, doesn’t it?

The Left creates a complete caricature of conservative talk radio and TV hosts as being a bunch of content-free haters who simply say the worst possible things about Democrats. Then some dimwit like Ed Schultz comes along and tries to live up to that phony caricature but from the left.

I don’t watch Glenn Beck much, but Beck was important in exposing Van Jones’ radicalism and in promoting the ACORN videos. Idiot Schultz just acts like a mirror image of what socialist dummies think Beck must be like.

Now that conservatives don’t have to apologize for George W. Bush, politics is getting fun again.

For all the Left’s criticisms, Hannity’s and Beck’s programs often involve a labyrinth of facts — for instance, Hannity’s profiles of the czars or Beck’s inside scoops connecting the intricate maze of interchangeable organizations that make up ACORN.

Schultz’s program is bluster and spleen.

What is it? Is GE funding a contest to see who can be the biggest A-hole at MSNBC?

My God, Democrats, what’s wrong with you?! You can't deal with these people, at all!

Even in his lunatic meltdown, he has to lie.

Solid majorioty in the House, filibuster-proof majority in the Senate mean that Democrats don't have to "deal with these people" at all. There is absolutely no need for the Democrats to have even one Republican vote in either chamber.

The bill is in trouble because the American people don't like it. That's who Schultz really has the problem with.
