Radio and TV blowhard Ed Schultz decided to take a break from his normal act of ranting against Republicans today by raging against some fellow liberals who had the temerity to criticize him and other MSNBC hosts for declining to publicly take the side of union members in a dispute they're having with the cable channel's parent company, NBC Universal.
Schultz, whose shtick is that he is just a working stiff looking out for people like him, lashed out at a report from Salon.com which mentioned him: “I become the target because I’m living good. I become the target because I have a platform,” he said on his radio show Friday. “They’re just out to take somebody down who’s got something they don’t have.”
The hypocrisy is thick enough to cut with a knife. Apparently there is one way to get Ed Schultz to denounce the politics of envy and resentment. Whatever happened to standing up for the disadvantaged and shared sacrifice?
Schultz made those remarks in a segment in which he invited viewers to question him about the Salon allegations. According to the MSNBC host, he was being wrongfully accused because he did not respond to a reporter’s question.
"I’m not going to lower myself to people who just have got employment envy, income envy, exposure envy, platform envy," Schultz said, according to a Salon transcription of the show.
The loud-mouthed host claimed that Salon could not possibly know about all of his actions in the dispute. “I don’t advertise every meeting that I have. No one knows who I’ve met with. No one.”

Shouldn’t Sgt. Schultz be spreading HIS wealth around?
LOL......Round and round
What goes around comes around
I’ll tell you whyyyyyyyyyy
Everyone knows that Socialism is for the little people, not for the socialists, silly.
Hey, Ed, you fat moron—enjoy the Karma.
No No, you have to understand the liberal mindset, for rich liberals, they dont consider themselves wealthy therefore they dont want to have THEIR wealth spread, its OUR wealth they want redistributed, not their precious moola
He should at least be required by the FCC to wear sponsor patches, like a race car driver. For radio the union money should be declared like old time radio. I think Congressmen should have to wear patches as well.
Schultz has always reminded me of loudmouthed drunks I’ve known who always ended up getting their asses kicked for good reason.
Schultz likes himself some Le Bernardin...
How dare the working class question the rulers! Did someone notice he was part of the 1%?
Pray America is Waking
Hahahaha. Good laugh
Hypocrisy on Parade!!
Special Ed gets his snout rubbed in the phoniness of being a liberal - nice way to start a weekend.
