Never heard of this guy, but he is still a liberal at age 55.

He is akin to a podunk strongman challenging the UFC champ.

I didnt even know of Ed Schultz until this clip so I looked at his Wiki and found this interesting:

"In the late 1990s, several events occurred which he said changed his attitude. One was his mother's illness. A former educator, she got Alzheimer's Disease and began a long, slow decline. Schultz found it frustrating trying to get her the services that she needed. The other was that he met a psychiatric nurse named Wendy who ran a homeless shelter in Fargo. He attributed much of his political change to her, and although he had frequently made fun of the homeless on his show, he said in his book that she helped to humanize them. To his surprise, he found some of the people he had insulted were veterans, and many were unable to get the psychiatric or medical services that might help them. He says that was the moment he began to look at poverty differently."

I think that's what being a liberal is often about, looking reminding yourself that you're not better than the people around you just because of your circumstances.

I only wish he took that same approach in dealing with Rush Limbaugh. Instead of taking a critical look at the man's life and sympathizing and respectufully disagreeing, he chose to insult him and challenge him to a duel.

That being said, i know it's difficult to maintain a polite attitude in the face of bigotry and hate, but I think John Lennon put it best when he said (im paraphrasing because I cant find the quote but I believe i heard it in "The US vs John Lennon")

'Of course they're gonna yell at you and bat at your nose because they want to get you violent. And when you're violent they know how to handle you'

I just hope it doesn't turn into a shouting match, b/c then neither of them will win.

Bah, these guys need to fight it out for real. In the Octagon. Now that I wouldnt miss.

haha, wide screen, i see what he did there

I listen to this guy all the time on the radio and love him.

But he's a different guy on TV - more about personality and less about substance.

Ed, don't know why you need to change so much. Just stick to what got you there - issues like single-payer health care. That's why your radio audience loves you.

Not all much difference between Rush and him is there?

Rush is more main stream than this jerk and MSMBC, a leftest GE owned company.
