Ed Schultz: I bet I could match Glenn Beck (Dream On!)
Politico ^ | 9/1/10 7:35 AM EDT | ANDY BARR

Posted on 09/01/2010 9:08:03 AM PDT by BradtotheBone

MSNBC host Ed Schultz says he wasn’t impressed by the crowd Fox's Glenn Beck was able to draw to Washington over the weekend, saying he could “easily” match Beck.

“I could get every union head in this country, I could organize every progressive group in this country, the main bloggers,” Schultz said on his radio show Tuesday. “This could be The Ed March.”

Schultz used NBC News’ projection of 300,000 attendees to Beck’s rally as the baseline he could reach — though CBS and others have placed the number of Beck supporters at less than 100,000.

“Folks, 300,000 people on the heels of six months promotion — that ain't no big shakes,” Schultz said, alluding to Beck’s frequent plugs for the event on his own television and radio shows as well as his website.

Please, please, pretty please with honey on it!

On the serious side, you know that this windbag will just talk and never do it. After all, his various diatribes are all designed for a single purpose, to try to pry loose the gawkers who will change stations to watch / listen how he will die today. You know the kind, they were at the Flavian, rooting for the Lions.

Ed if you could get 20,000 to show up I’ll watch your show for a whole year.

Hey Eddie Boy....How about proving it?

“can’t seem to face up to the facts.
I’m tense and nervous and I... can’t relax.
I can’t sleep, cause my bed’s on fire.
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire”

The only thing Special Ed is qualified to lead is a "Shoot your own Dog" seminar.

"Ed's our home town boy Mon, 04/27/2009 - 09:54 ET by Fargo Conservative I had to laugh at Ed's comment on Cheney shooting someone while hunting. Ed shot his dog hunting a number of year's ago when he was the sports desk for a local TV station. He would go NUTS if someone ever mentioned it. Ask Ed about shooting his hunting dog, swearing on air at the college kids for throwing a whiskey bottle at him during the coverage of a football game or about his college GPA and you will hear what he actually sounds when he is really mad. A former sports newscaster with an embarrassing GPA and short temper...do they have a club at MSNBC or what?

Not too likely to attract many participants.

Then why doesn’t he try it? Go for it. I can tell you right now that if Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin ran on the same ticket for the Presidency, Democrats would be peeing in their pants. They have nothing that could run against them. I believe the people of this country are ready for a ticket like this. The people are hungry to bring this country back to what it once was.

Al Sharpton is more well known than fat-ass Eddy, and he couldn’t haul in enough dopes.

And what the hell is their rally going to be about? Bigger government?

Because I watch Glenn Beck’s TV show, I finally got to see and hear Ed Schultz instead of just reading about him. He is a true representative of BDS.

Actually who cares..Glenn Beck was not there to see how many people he could get to come..He was there to praise God and our service men and women..Get a life you bloated oaf..The more you idiots open your mouth the more people could care less about you liberal commies..None of you are doing the Dem's a favor making them all look like a bunch of thugs (although that is what the majority are)

Lets see:
An average of $60/hr x 4 hrs x 1.5 OT x 300,000.

I guess if he’s got a spare $100M around, the union guys might show up.

Oh but then they will want all their travel expenses paid for too. Guess that blowes the budget. /s

He really is full of himself. I don’t think he even has 300,000 viewers. Go for it, Ed. Make a bigger laughing stock out of yourself than you already are.

Then why talk about it? It’s easily provable. Organize your own.

I think that even most progressives wouldn’t turn out for this whackjob.

He was going to organize a rally, but the participant left town.

Perhaps Ed can consult with Cindy Sheehan on how to draw a large crowd...

Ed sure can whine.

I’ll bet he was a terror in grade school.
