Here's Schultz on his radio show Wednesday, doing his part in the liberal media pile-on after Mitt Romney dared suggest considerable overlap between President Obama's supporters and those Americans most dependent on government (audio) --
In the video taken at the fundraiser that has leaked out, Romney claimed that 47 percent of Americans are Obama voters that pay no income tax, are dependent upon government and believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, you name it. Now, in a sense, he is correct, in the social safety net which we have believed in for generations. We're a compassionate country. We don't want to leave people behind. We've made sure that there is no suffering. We've tried to make sure that there's no suffering. And a lot of this comes from World War II. A lot of the policies that have propped up from the New Deal in the aftermath of the Second World War when we saw real pain, suffering, extermination in World War Two, it changed America for a number of generations and it changed how we did legislation, it changed what we wrote, what we believed in. And I do believe that the suffering of the Second World War pushed forward civil rights in this country, I do. You may disagree with me.
It's one thing for Schultz to get it wrong about Bill Clinton, claiming as he did earlier this month that Clinton was never tried in the Senate after he was impeached during the Lewinsky scandal. It's quite another for someone as boisterous in his braying for liberalism to get it wrong about the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, liberals' patron saint.
Me thinks they protesth too much, looks like they got poked in a sore spot! Yet the more they prostest it, the more they advertize it.
Nice
Is the man that ignorant regarding US history or is this some purposeful rant?
Except you want "and" instead of "or" in that question.
Ed Schultz - really... this is guy is the worst kind of crybaby - he got booted from Cincinnati airwaves and cried about for days.
He must have about 3 people who listen to him, probably because they can’t figure out how to change channels.
Reminds me of when Biden told of President Franklin D.Roosevelt addressing the nation over television in 1929—or John Kerry recounting how President Nixon sent him to Cambodia in 1968.
Makes sense. Sgt Schultz came to the US after WWII along
with Col Hogan around the end of ‘45. He still was living
in the Fatherland when the New Deal was implemented
throughout most of the 1930s so it is understandable why
his timeline may be a little skewed.

I think he’s just trying to re-write history. Libs do that a lot.
I remember when the New Deal came into existence, and it wasn’t after the war, because Roosevelt died before the war ended in both Europe and the Pacific. It was in the 30s, if I remember correctly.
I think Ed is referring to The Marshall Plan which rebuilt Europe after WW2. The New Deal, implemented in the first part of Roosevelts term was in the mid-1930’s. It was a complete failure in any event.
Hey Ed Shitz:
New Deal == Before WWII
New World Order == After WWII
Yes, you are correct. The so-called New Deal was a feature of
the 1930s. The FDR fans have long falsely claimed that it pre-
vented the US from turning to socialism. Recent realists such
as Amity Slays (sp?) have written that the New Deal actually
extended the Great Depression and it was America’s entry into
WWII which snapped the nation out of its’ funk
In my previous post I was being a smart ass because I believe
that Ed Schultz is a world class jerk.
“Is the man that ignorant regarding US history or is this some purposeful rant?”
Consider his typical audience - you think they know or care?
Why would anyone on this site give a hoot what Schultz, Rhodes or Press has to say
