Ed Schultz: Constitution is Totally Outdated Piece of Paper
truthrevolt.org ^ | Dec. 8, 2015 | Mark Tapson

We need to "get rid of some of these jackasses who live by an old document."

Former MSNBC blowhard Ed Schultz has taken to doing web podcasts since losing his The Ed Show gig on that network, and Newsbusters reports that he recently vented about Republican "jackasses" who still oppose more restrictive gun control in the wake of the San Bernardino terrorist massacre. He may have been reduced to an even smaller audience than he had at the low-rated MSNBC, but in the course of that podcast he stated an article of faith of the radical left - that the Constitution is outdated and has no place in a "progressive" future:

So what has to happen here, folks, and this is political tough talk -- if the Democrats don't want any silence, then they have to speak up and just tell the American people we can't get anything done on gun violence because Republicans are in the way. Put it on the obstructors. Put it on the people who always defend a piece of paper that was two hundred and twenty-five years old or whatever, back in a society that doesn't even exist today, the Second Amendment. There has to be rules and regulations for a contemporary society.

President Obama himself has said that he believes the Constitution is, or should be, a living, breathing document adjustable to the times - meaning that it is an obstacle to the left's agenda for an America remade in their utopian vision.

Schultz continued:

But until the Democrats become not silent and say that we can't do gun violence control in this country or any kind of gun measures because Republicans are in the way. Then maybe you might strike a nerve with the American people to get rid of some of these jackasses who live by an old document that is just totally outdated. We've changed the Constitution before! We've added to the Constitution but we simply cannot do anything about gun violence in America.

Later in the show, during a conversation with guest Jonathan Alter, Schultz pressed the point:

Jonathan, politically, do the Democrats need to become more vocal about this in blaming Republicans? And, you know, it's old-style politics, I know, and vilifying the other side. But the fact is that we can't get anything done on gun violence in America, any measures at all, because of the Republicans.

Translation: darn those Republicans and their insistence on adhering to an old piece of paper that blocks our gun confiscation agenda!

Sounds like Ol’ Ed is finally suffering the effects of all that methane he breathed locked up in that poorly ventilated studio. Gee, hope it doesn’t prove FATAL!

Yeah let’s get rid of that old rag of a Constitution and substitute a more modern document to guide the nation like Mao’s Little Red Book, or perhaps the ever-popular Sharia law ...

Sgt. Schultz did, in fact, shoot his own dog to death some years back.

Ask him about it, as he is still apparently sensitive about it.

Tell him that his show is canceled and he has no right to say anything about anything in public or private and see how he reacts? If he complains about 1st Amendment, tell him, ‘you said it is outdated’ so shut up.

That, Ed, will most certainly start CW-II.

And following the successful defeat of liberalism, we will resurrect the guillotine specifically for you liberals.

We wil eliminate the national debt by putting your bouncing heads on pay tv.

Eat Obamastuff, dork.

He’s absolutely right about American progressivism: It has as its agenda the abolition of the US Constitution. Unwittingly - which pretty much describes his mindset - he’s done us a huge favor by defining what it is to be “progressive.” And it’s well worth remembering.

The Constitution is outdated, but tyrrany is always in style. Got it.

By the way, Ed, how did investigating Bush electors in 2000 to see which could be leaned on to flip their votes work out? We're you looking for those you could blackmail or just those who could be intimidated to vote for Gore?

I raised my right hand before the flag of the United States of America and stated the following 5 times in 22 years:

I, Alas Babylon!, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;

Sounds like Ed is a domestic enemy of the Constitution.

I am obligated by my oath to do something about it?

We need to find some of these jackasses who mouth off about an old document in a back alley somewhere with a copy stuffed in their mouth.

Our obligation is to vote all these anti-American morons out of office.

Low-lifes like Ed Schultz feel our scorn and derision by our ignoring them.

“get rid of some of these jackasses who live by an old document.”

Classic liberal mindset.

Hey Ed, how exactly are you going to ‘get rid’ of me?
