Ed Schultz is not an advocate for veterans
Dominick sends us a link to the Blaze in which a 23-year veteran decides to waste his time by calling Ed Schultz to disagree with him on Obama and veterans.
The veteran tells Schultz that he was one of the thousands who were kicked off of Tricare Prime (that we’ve been talking about for years here) and Schultz all but call him a liar.
“First of all, you have, uh, your facts wrong,” Schultz responded, changing the subject and hollering over the caller when he tried to respond. “I’m not going to freaking argue with you, Russell. You’re full of crap, okay? You’re full of it. The government shutdown hurt the veterans. Is that wrong or right?”
“It hasn’t hurt us yet,” Russell said.
Schultz then vowed to “break your idiot argument down piece by piece!”
The caller again reiterated that he is one of the 171,000 retired veterans who lost their benefits, a move that was supposedly intended to “reduce the cost of providing health care to military retirees.” The Democrats refuse to consider the Republican’s proposal to address the problem, he said. The vet also said he didn’t retire from the military for Obamacare.
“You have your facts wrong,” Schultz repeated, without actually explaining what facts were wrong. “You know what, you need a right-wing talker.”
Schultz and the Democrats, in general, pretend to care about veterans until one disagrees with them and tries to bring up facts, then we’re “drinking the Kool Aid” and lying.

Just saw this on News Busters as well, what I love is the whole shock over Rush and the slut comment and the mock outrage and war one women thing it turned on. Yet Ed the vile creature he is has said far worse of women, vets, and pretty much everyone that is not to the left of him. But he uses the tactic a lot do instead of trying to use facts and rational argument, talk over people, belittle them, and in general act like a jackass. I take that back comparing Ed to a jackass is not fair to jackasses and I do not want PETA coming after me.

Poor Ed. Reality is getting in the way of his utopia and he’s lashing out accordingly.
Sounds like Ed the Dog Killer is a little stressed.
Facts are a bitch, aren’t they, Ed?
Ed Shultz is not an advocate for veterans; he is an advocate for FEEDING HIS BIG FAT UGLY LIBTARD FACE WITH JELLY DONUTS…
It’s the same old liberal play – When confronted with facts/reality, resort to name calling and personal attacks.
Schultz is most definitely not an advocate for veterans. Rather, he’s a mendacious, ignorant, Leftist ass who’d sell his own mother to advance his pet causes.
@1 You are correct about Ed saying worse things, unfortunately for Ed (unlike Rush) no one is actually watching or listening to this 4sshole…the local cable channel that broadcasts the area town meetings has a higher rating profile than Ed Schultz.
He’s p1ssed off all the time because he’s largely irrelevant as a commentator on modern politics. That’s the problem with the left, they can’t understand the popularity of right wing talk radio and the abject failure of their alternative radio.
It’s because they don’t understand the simple fact they are not interesting, compelling, or entertaining. I can’ stand that lying sack of sh1t Rush Limbaugh but I will concede that he is funny, and very entertaining. In contrast Air America was about as compelling as a llama breeding contest in Lima…
F#ck Ed Schultz and all those like him, and yes that does include Chris “the bobble head” Matthews…*
Ed Schultz is along the same vein as Mike Malloy–their only listeners are people who tune in only to hear what outrageous crap comes out of their pieholes next.
Wonder if Ed knows Veterans pay taxes too and retires paid them their whole time except in combat. I love that slam of his near the end when he says his tax dollars paid for this guys benefits. He also used the great tactic of changing the subject. All this guy was talking about was being kicked off Tri-Care Prime. All Ed was screaming about was the shutdown. Apples and oranges anyone?
VOV–while not a Rush fan (don’t listen, don’t have the opportunity) I’m curious why you call him a lying sack of shit?
He has his personal issues (painkiller addiction, multiple marriages, etc.,) but accuracy regarding his facts and shouting down his callers/interviews doesn’t seem to be among them.
Schultz is a fucking shitbag. He needs forced sodomy with a fucking cactus. Vile POS.
@10 I am not a fan of a guy who made his first ratings bump off of calling democrats, especially Clinton, dope smoking draft dodgers when that fat f#ck was doing prescription drugs and avoided the draft himself.
It doesn’t mean I don’t find his show entertaining but I find him devoid of character and substance. For me I believe Rush is an entertainer and not a proper commentator, I believe he would talk the liberal point of view if he felt there was more money in that than right wing talk radio.
If you disparage the character of others for the same things you are doing, you are not a person of honor or integrity. That’s why I believe him to be a lying sack of sh1t.
I understand my view is probably a minority one, and not very popular. That’s pretty much the story of my perspective on most things.
Who is Ed Schultz, and do I even care?
1. ????
2. No
On the flip side, some good news. Yesterday, the head of the National Park Service, one Johnathan Jarvis (but I prefer just to call him Dick)answered a subpoena and appeared before a House subcommittee focused on the recent selective closures. Man, did he catch it! One Trey Gowdy (R-SC) kicked his ass so bad he is now pooping from his nostrils. It’s worth having a look see.

@14 Too bad he can’t lose his job for that action. Nice to see him squirm a little, but unfortunately no repercussion that are more severe are available…
@15. This is what conflicts me terribly and I am afraid of the conclusion I draw. When good men and women of LE whose duty it is to follow lawful orders issued by their superiors with which they disagree or face disciplinary action for insubordination, they ALL will follow the orders issued. And that includes issuing citations to peaceful, decent Americans, arresting them, and using violence against them, in its many forms.
I’d never heard this guy’s name before today–is he popular? It sounds like he’s well on the road to heart attack city. Even the “dude” whose family was losing their health coverage managed to maintain decent composure by comparison. He really didn’t seem like a bad caller, but if I had a radio show where I worked myself up like that, first thing I’d do is get a really solid call screener.
@17 Uh no he’s not popular actually. His radio show failed so MSNBC thought it would be a great idea to bring him over. It’s the network of losers and no talent hacks….
In fact MSNBC is learning the hard truth of what I’ve been saying for years, left wing radio and television is about as exciting as the paint drying contest at Sherwin-Williams….it doesn’t attract viewers because it sucks. The hosts are so f#cking boring they make an afternoon of powerpoint presentations on actuarial tables seem as exciting as the Indy 500….
Here’s a snippet from a trade journal about their current rating debacle over there at MSNBC…they are down to less than 200,000 viewers on a typical evening….which means that 99.94% of the population is not paying attention to what happens on that network….which means their ratings are worse than the PBS series for quilters on Saturday mornings….so more people want to know how quilt with paper pieced patterns than want to hear anything that MSNBC has to say…
MSNBC continued its rough 2013 in the ratings, continuing to lose significant audience from 2012. The problems were particularly prevalent in primetime, with some shows losing close to -50% of viewers….In primetime, “The Rachel Maddow Show” posted all-time low ratings in total and demo viewers, down -43% and -47%, respectively. “The Last Word” posted a low in total viewers, losing -40% of its total viewer audience and -42% of its demo audience. at 8 PM, “All in” was down -48% and -42% in total and demo viewers, respectively, placing behind CNN for the hour.
I think the folks at Ace of Spades periodically chronicle this clown’s* meltdowns. If it wasn’t for that, I’d never have heard of him. Apparently this is nothing new for him.
*Apologies to any actual clowns here. No offense was intended.
@17–to put it another way, test patterns get better ratings. And are more entertaining.
@17 – Learning quilting with paper piecing techniques is 200% more interesting.
Well! Watching Gowdy bear down on the park ranger, who was clearly uncomfortable, was interesting.
Sometimes I miss cable TV. And then I don’t.
MSNBC is lower in ratings than CNN?
Although I doubt he’d care, I wonder if Ed should read the letter I got from United Healthcare stating that those of us in SW MO were being pushed from Prime to Standard because we lived too far from Lenard Wood. Thankfully, my son was born before this happened.
The other sad part is AFN carries duche bag (sorry that is not fair to duche bags but it is what it is) so military folks and their families have to be subjected to his rants on air depending on how many AFN radio stations you have and of course his crappy show of MSN that AFN also shows. It was on during lunch time in the chowhall and I took to changing the channel to AFN sports until the chowhall folks took to locking the ability to change channels. Nothing helps a diet better than having to stomach MSN and Ed while eating.
And MSDNC wonders why their ratings continue to go down the sewer pipe? I wonder just how much longer it will be before that joke of a network goes away like Air America?
#23, I have noticed that also on this deployment. It seems like all AFN News is now is MSNBC and “Don’t forget your special same sex spouse leave” commercials.
“…I have noticed that also on this deployment. It seems like all AFN News is now is MSNBC and “Don’t forget your special same sex spouse leave” commercials…”
Dear God, I’m glad I retired from the military…I would not have been able to stomach this AFN PC bullshit during my overseas deployments (which occurred prior to the obamao gang taking charge).
Russell shot Schultz’s unicorn. How did you expect Schultz to react?
Ed Schultz is not an advocate for freedom of speech, veterans, blood pressure medication, dieting, youth sports, racial cooperation, limited government, plastic surgery, pet ownership, the designated hitter rule, space travel, solar energy, exercise, Oprah’s book club, samba dancing, heterosexuality, high capacity magazines or three ply toilet paper.
What he is, is a loud mouthed fuck stick with delusions of grandeur who shills for the liberal cause de jour without knowing what the fuck he is talking about in most instances.
In conclusion, go play in heavy traffic Ed!!!
Master Guns–don’t hold back, man. Tell us how you REALLY feel.
I particularly like how Ed claimed he was going to tear apart the veteran’s argument, piece by piece, yet only shouted “WHO SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN?!!” over and over again amidst the ironic kool-aid insults.
@29. Yeah, often when I read his comments, I wonder, “How the hell can he be so reserved? Where the hell is his passion?”
Powerpoint Ranger: I think Eddie-boy was just afraid someone was going to take his Kool-Aid before he could drink the rest of it . . . .
Democrats support of veterans is situational and entirely based on the veterans adherence to the Democrat Party Line. It is an inherently un-American notion.
I would love to see this asshole confronted face to face by a group of Veterans. He would curl up in the fetal position, start sucking his thumb, and wet himself.
Shultz is just another progressive oxygen thief, there is no conversation to be had with scum like him.
Congratulations Ed Schultz, You have just won an all inclusive paid vacation to Afghanistan. You will be visiting such lovely places as the Korangal Valley, Takur Ghar and The Ganjgal Valley! When you’re not busy partying it up with the locals in these great locations you will have a penthouse suite all to yourself that we like to call COP Keating!
Congratulations Ed!
I herard Ed and his tantrum yesterday on Hannity’s Radio show.
Ed is angry becasue his syndicated show is very low in the ratings. In fact, so low the rating value is immeasurable.
He is a very sick little man.
TMZ is reporting that he maybe always angry because of his penis size that closely resembles the value of his ratings – ZERO.
Mike. I like the references. I buddy of mine fought in the Battle of Robert’s Ridge on Takur Ghar.
