MSNBC HOST ED SCHULTZ HAS GONE OVER THE EDGE!

July 17, 2009

We routinely monitor all news channel broadcasts and, by far, Ed Schultz of MSNBC's "Ed Show" is the most partisan of all similar broadcasts. Keith Oberman, again from MSNBC, and host of "Countdown" runs a close second, but he will at least occasionally question a Democratic position. But Schultz is in a totally different category. He's apparently NEVER disagreed with the Democrats, and especially identifies with the most left-leaning of the party.

There's nothing wrong with having a political preference, and if you've got a pulpit you can preach whatever you like (careful of "hate" speech Ed, you can now go to jail if you slip up, thanks to the Democrat's late-night amendment to a Defense bill). But, it's got to be the height of arrogance to believe that ALL Democratic legislation and policy positions are always superior to those proposed by others.

We've always been taught that to blindly follow anything/anyone is to basically admit that you have no ability to critically and/or analytically think for yourself. Both major political parties have a basis for their positions and to dismiss your opponents' views out-of-hand makes it obvious, to all but a small portion of your audience with similar limitations, that you must have a very difficult time trying to think for yourself.

To advocate potentially bankrupting the Country in order to implement all Democratic initiatives is irresponsible to your audience. Hopefully, someone (obviously a Democrat) will someday inform you that your abysmal ratings are due to your inability to connect with most viewers. One day, you might even come to that conclusion on your own as you ponder what you did wrong to end up in the unemployment line.

Unfortunately, this is the attitude of a small, but vocal presence in Congress who would rather destroy our system, rather than working together to solve our common problems and make the Country a better place for us all.

Ed, wake up! We're all on the same team, maybe different views and approaches, but we should all strive for a common goal. Ninety-nine percent of Americans could disagree with one of Mr. Schultz's positions and he'd still be convinced that he knew better. There's no place anymore for the "My way or the highway" attitude exhibited by Schultz. His constant rants of "Don't they remember who won the election?" seems to be his weak attempt to justify his arrogance and radical views.

Sadly, it reminds us of the kid who got beat-up or simply picked on regularly in school and now, as an adult, they seek revenge on those who "wronged" them. They try to achieve this by attempting to misuse a perceived position of power against anyone who has to deal with them, especially if they happen to remind him of those who treated him so badly in the past. Been to the DMV or spoken to a bill collector lately? "Were you regularly beat-up as a child and do you seek revenge?", and "Did you barely graduate from high school or drop-out early due to being harassed by your peers and/or being just plain dumb?". Answering "YES" to these insightful questions must be the main qualification for these positions and yours. Ed?
