Heh. A 64-oz Porterhouse is headed your way. ;)

Ed Schultz is our Liberal Doomsday Machine. FINALLY someone who can stand toe-to-toe with Rush and blast him out of the ballpark.

I get him on XM but he's on a lot of AM stations and coming to a lot more.

You should hear all these good old boys call and say "Y'know Ed, I never thought about it that way before, but you're right." Does the heart good.

I never much liked Rush personally, but credit given where due. Still, when he actually DOES stand toe-to-toe with Rush, let me know. Like I said, I never heard of the guy.

Sweet! I'm especially impressed since I never told you my address. :)

Well if he rules because he is like Rush but reverse on the issues, that's not really ruling much. I suppose we could have a competition on who's the loudest political pundit. That's sure to get ratings, might actually be fun.

PS In response to your signature: you can't get little bit pregnant.

When I say he can stand toe-to-toe with Rush, I mean he's a guy that all these middle-American beer-drinkin' gun-totin' guys can actually RELATE to. I love Al Franken but I can't picture Bubba listening to him.

In other words he can compete for Rush's audience.

Ed is NOT like Rush in any other way. Just listen.

And regarding my sig line, yes, glad you got it. Or are on the way to getting it, at least.
 
Is he on your local AM dial in your part of Texas Sundog? I've never heard of him and I don't think he's on here in H-town.

No Tony, but let me take this opportunity to apologize for snapping at you the other day, I've been testy lately.

I get him on XM. I think you might like him, really I do. You'd definitely find some points of agreement, just as you and I sometimes do.

I've smoked since then, you'll have to remind me what you're apologizing for.

I don't have XM yet :( . But when I get it, I'll be sure to check him out.

Well I will try to give him a listen as I do not have XM (don't see radio being good enough to pay a monthly fee for just yet) I'll check out the segments he has on the website you provided. So far however he does not seem to "rule."

On the other issue, I hate censorship don't see why I would need to "get it" seems like I already do.

It's an old saw. Of course you can't be a little bit pregnant; that's the joke, because neither can you be a little bit censored.

Thanks for checking him out. He grows on you. Or at least he did with me.
 
Unless, there are TWO Ed Schultz on air personalities, he is a *right* wing Rush Limbaugh wanna-be from Norfolk Virginia, with no discernable message other than shock-jock entertainment value.

It would be hilarious if he actually had re-invented himself as a liberal from North Dakota, and people were dumb enough to fall for it, but I doubt if even the most rabid party loyalists would be that naive.

Oh wait a minute,,wasn't that the plot of some old Ronald Reagan movie? Entertainer switches sides as a politician, and gives the performance of his life as the demagogue opposing everything he had embraced a week earlier?

Or was that real life too?

Scoff all you like. Yes, it's the same guy, but he's seen the light.

(Edited to remove gratuitous insult)

Some of the true lefties don't like him because he used to be conservative. I say, just listen to the guy.
 
I thought Al Franken on Air America was supposed to stand toe to toe with rush?

Can you detail any of this censorship? BTW, I don't accept your thesis. As someone who has fanatically stood up for both first amendment rights and free expression (they are not always the same) I can say I understand the situation. The first Amendment protects individuals from the government. However I think we as individuals should prize the free-flow of ideas and ensure that expression is not stifled overzealous groups. That is why I went to see Maplethorp, "Stop The Church", spoke out for Laura Schlesinger and Larry Elder.

There are clearly times when censorship or limiting speech is warranted i.e. yelling fire in a crowded building, employees sharing proprietary information or hurting the companies image for the later. These certainly constitute "a little censorship". The problem becomes trying to decide where exactly do you draw the line. I thought the laws concerning ownership of exploitive child pornography (anal and vaginal penetration of pree-teens) should be illegal the ACLU did not. (See California AB 101 circa 1991). As disgusting as I found them, I thought abortion protestors should have free speech rights in front of clinics, the ACLU did not.

I would really appreciate it if you could expand on your sig. I find it overly simplistic and naive.

I know that this is off topic and if you would like I could start another thread. I was just responding to you.

Read the whole thread, yo.

He can and does. But there's a whole lotta truck-drivin' deer-huntin' types that just aren't going to listen to Al Franken.

And, Ed Schultz isn't tied to Air America, which seems to have some, shall we say, management problems.

I'm not prepared to speak for Franken, he does a fine job by himself.

I will say this: The difference with liberal talk radio is FACTS. Real, verifiable, written-down facts. Liberals read, unlike neocons.
