(Note: MSNBC host Ed Schultz spoke last night at the Blue State Bash sponsored by KTNF-950AM held at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The Web site The Uptake posted a video report of his speech in which he relates an off-camera swearing match with White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.)
SNIP
Schultz: "I know this this (sic) of those being recorded but I wasn't told it was off the record but Mister Gibbs I had quite a conversation off the air the other night and I'm going to tell you I told him he was full of (Obama), is what I told him. I mean I did. and then he gave me that Dick Cheney F bomb the same way Senator Leahy got it on the senate (sic) floor. So I told Robert Gibbs, I said and I'm sorry you're swearing at me but, you know I'm just trying to help you out. I'm telling you you're losing your base.
"Do you understand that you're losing your base?
"And that the American people they don't want public option, the American people want single payer!"
YouTube video of Schultz's speech.
We don’t want EITHER, Ed.
Wish I could bring him to every Republican rally. Then people would see who they need to vote for.
Air America Minnesota depends on donations from left wing owned businesses to survive and has dismal ratings. They have less of an audience then the latino speaking radio channel in the area. I suggest everybody go to the AAM website and make sure you aren’t purchasing from any of the companies that are supporting the left wing wackos on their station. Warner Stellian Appliances is one example of a supporter of this station. I won’t buy any appliances from them ever again.
Now that made me spew. We could shorten it to "FOO." LOL!
Public Option : Single Payer :: Nose : Camel
Ed doesn’t get it.
Holder is FOO, Durbin is FOO, Biden is FOO...and God knows Algore is FOO. Hee-hee!
All those residences...why...Ellie Light is Ed Schultz!!
Tjhey are *both* piles of (Obama). to follow in your usage.
Just looking at that website it seems their support base is next to nil. Just a bunch of progressives who are in 40’s & 50’s and still living off family money.
Does he think his language will impress anyone, change their mind, influence their core values. It's so JR high!
I hate it when intelligent people curse. It used to kill me when Cheney cursed. There are so many other ways to get your point across.
Is Air America Minnesota the same Air America that just filed for bankruptcy and is off the air?
Seems to me his punch lines didn’t excite the audience. We heard weak clapping. Also, at the end his yes we can he had to say it three times and still no one joined in that I could hear. What a dope he is. Notice how he had to ask the listeners to KEEP LISTENING. We don’t need to ask listeners to keep listening to Rush, Hannity, Glenn etc...we WANT to listen and Glenn’s show on Friday was awesome.
Nope it’s Chris “Tingle leg” Matthews ......
This article confused me. Does Robert Gibbs's anger mean he actually believes what he tells us?
The danger is in equating one's own desires with that of "the American people." Some may agree with Mr Schultz, but the preponderance do not.
From the sounds of the reaction from the crowd they must have had thirty or forty people there.
One honest statement in > 17 mins: This media thing is “fragile as a snow flake.” With ratings like his, you’d have to think he’s wondering how he’s worth more to NBC than Conan was.
Run with it Ed, take DumBO too.
Can they be this stupid?
