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.

CBS also aired forged National Guard memos faxed from a Kinkos near Waco, Texas as an "October Surprise".

Politico sucks the donkey balls.

Who is this "Schultz" guy? Am I supposed to recognize that name?

Was he the character on "Hogan's Heroes"?

I think you may be right. He is coming unhinged, and his obsession with Glenn is gone from laughable to more than creepy. Sgt Schultz has now become the “bunny broiler”.

News to me that this had a 6 month promotion.

In any case-—if the ONLY persons Ed can draw to such an event are Union thung- then this fool is demonstrating a large problem in the country.

Take your best shot, ED. Put your measly money where your blathering mouth is.

I could have been my High School valedictorian. If only I had better study habits and a deeper respect for authority at that age.

He would first need to get at least 30 people to watch his show.

"I could organize every progressive group in this country"
Are you a 'progressive' Ed? So you are not a fair and balanced Journolist?
"Progressive" - and "liberal" and "moderate" as well - mean precisely the same thing as "objective" means. The difference is only that "objective" is always and only applied to "journalist," whereas "progressive" and the others are only applied to those who are not employed as journalists but who agree with the perspective of journalists without deviation.

No, I think he could do it.

All the unions would have their people take three days off, free food would be provided, and they would get stimulus money to provide buses to take them to DC and back.

Sure he could do it. Just make an annual March on DC and entitlement.

And, having said it, the statement is now accepted as reality. No need for proof.

That’s life on Planet Democrat.

Of course you can get Progressive organizations funded by $oros’ billions: most of them don’t work for a living. They’re always available to agitate against people who do.”

He’s counting on it. I saw him interview with head of AFL/CIO...their rally is on 10/2/10 and no doubt, they will be busing in people (union members, anti-war, pro-amnesty) from all over the country.
