Ed Schultz: We’re gonna’ need some Vietnam-sized protests

if we’re gonna’ kill this Keystone XL pipeline I supported one month ago

And I quote: “Based on safety I think the President should give this project the stamp of approval. Environmental groups obviously think differently. And so do the majority of people on the left. But this newsflash: We’re not getting out of the oil business in America. It runs our economy. Do we have climate change? Yes we do. But the construction of this pipeline does not mean we are going to consume more as a country. … So a brand-new pipeline, to me, makes sense.”

That was Ed Schultz, in February.

Ed Schultz in February, meet Ed Schultz in March.

It was April of 1965, April 17th. There were 25,000 people who showed up to protest the Vietnam War. … And it evolved to this, this day, November 15, 1969, that’s what a half a million people looked like when they’re on the mall in Washington, D.C. This is the largest anti-war demonstration in American history. Is the pipeline that bad? I think it’s fantastic that there was a demonstration on Sunday in Washington and there were 400 people. Maybe it’s because of fax machines. Maybe it’s because of the internet. Maybe it’s because of iPhones, maybe it’s because of text messaging and the information age. Maybe we’re just a different society today. I don’t know what it’s going to take to stop the pipeline and get the message to the President of the United States. But for reference, this is what we had to do to stop war. So all of these folks across the America who want to stop the pipeline, you’re in the 11th hour.

you know, ever since our company decided to ditch the fax machine, people just won’t stop calling to ask “what is your fax number?”

Fax machines?

When I get asked to fax something, I tell them our time machine is broken so I cannot go back to 1980 today.

400 people showed up?

More people show up for a lawn mower sale at Home Depot...

Ed Schultz is a bought-and-paid-for union goon, and unions support the pipeline, so Ed may be getting a phone call in the middle of the night from his bosses.

Not to worry Eddie....your buddy Warren Buffet just ordered 5,000 new crude oil tanker cars. Why would he do that if the Keystone Pipeline were going to happen any time soon?
