My opinion...
It’s politics. It’s political speech. Anything goes, including insults about your mother’s canine ancestry, the obviousness of your idiocy, arguments which conclude with a comparison to Hitler, or anything else. I don’t care what Ed Schulz says about McCain, as long as I can say something equally insulting about Ed.
My concern about all the swooning over this comment or that is, eventually, no one will be able to say anything for fear of offending someone - in which case, we will have achieved the goal of eliminating freedom of speech by ourselves. The leftists have perfected this kind of faux outrage into a science, which we should fight with ridicule, a jab in the ribs with smart-ass commentary, and the occasion over-the-top obscene gesture.
Either we embrace robust political commentary or we give up our liberty. It’s that simple.

First draft follies.
“I don’t care what Ed Schulz says about McCain, as long as I can say something equally insulting about Ed.”
You know how various groups are allowed to criticize their own, while the rest of us are told we can’t? For example, blacks can criticize blacks, but whites can’t; gays can criticize gays, but straights can’t, and so on.
Well, as an ugly man I’m allowed to say this: Ed Schultz is one of the most physically repulsive, slitty-eyed, bloated, piggish men I’ve ever seen.
Man, that felt good! I can say it, too, because I’m about as ugly as they come.
If you drive the termite trash out of the light its still there eating away. We have the First Amendment, let these creeps spout their ignorance in the clear light of day so everyone can hear them. O'Reilly spent more than one second on this jerk last evening which was way more time than he (Slutz) deserves.
