Yes, those Leftists are so civil. They are beyond reproach.
Sure.
On his syndicated radio show, MSNBC host Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a "Right-wing slut."
Audio from The Daily Caller, via Brian Maloney, The Radio Equalizer:TranscriptED SCHULTZ (02:52): And what do the Republicans thinking about? They're not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They're just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they're talking about, like this right-wing slut, what's her name?, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she's a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama's doing it, they're working him over.
Why does MSNBC give someone like Ed Schultz, good buddy of Chris Larson, a platform?
There's a problem when an outlet like MSNBC is willing to tolerate its hosts denigrating women like that.
Does MSNBC really want Ed Schultz to be on its team?
Do Brian Williams and NBC News approve of the MSNBC extremists dragging down the credibility of the NBC News brand?
I guess it doesn't matter.
NBC News lost credibility long ago. _________________
UPDATE: MSNBC suspends Schultz for calling Ingraham a 'slut'MSNBC has suspended Ed Schultz, host of the “The Ed Show,” for one week without pay for calling conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham a ‘right-wing slut’ on his syndicated radio program Tuesday.
“Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” MSNBC said in a statement.
MSNBC said Schultz will address the remarks on his show Wednesday night, and begin his leave immediately afterward. He will return on June 6th.
“MSNBC management met with Ed Schultz this afternoon and accepted his offer to take one week of unpaid leave for the remarks he made yesterday on his radio program,” MSNBC said.
MSNBC should fire Schultz.
Why would management want him to be one the main faces of the network?
MSNBC/NBC News must get its act together.
Time to purge. __________________

UPDATE, May 26, 2011: Laura Ingraham accepts Schultz's apology.
Just because a man was carrying a purse in a Wauwatosa grocery store, a security guard considered him "suspicious."
Apparently, a man can't walk around with a purse, or murse, without being deemed a potential crook.
Is that wrong?
Would a woman with a large leather purse receive the same scrutiny?
From WauwatosaNOW: Security guards are trained to spot suspicious activity. At Pick 'n Save on State Street a man walking through the store with a large leather purse got the staff's attention.
According to a Wauwatosa police report:
A 27-year-old Milwaukee man was seen putting a bottle of liquor in the purse at 5:41 p.m. Friday. At the checkout, he paid for a salad but not the alcohol.
A security guard tried to stop him but he became combative and tried to head-butt the guard in the face.
A search of his purse turned up a steak knife with a five-inch blade, a hammer and 2.6 grams of marijuana.
He was on probation for drug and weapons charges.
The man was arrested for retail theft, carrying a concealed weapon, marijuana possession and violating probation.
The security guard was right this time. Because he profiled, he caught a criminal.
The man with the murse was up to no good. He not only was shoplifting, like Wisconsin state senator Democrat Chris Larson, but he had a lot in his murse that he shouldn't have had, like weapons and pot.
The head-butt was not a good idea. It only made matters worse.
This crook gives men with purses a bad name.
What a stunning turn of events!
People/protesters were upset that they ALL couldn't speak at the budget hearing held at State Fair Park yesterday.
They started chanting, "SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!"
Where have I heard that before?
For one, I heard the Democrats in the Wisconsin State Assembly scream it.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:It was the third of four hearings around the state held by the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee on Walker's proposed budget. And like earlier hearings in Stevens Point and Superior, the turnout was in the hundreds, rather than the thousands that some expected.
Only hundreds, not thousands?
Is the movement losing steam?In all, about 270 speakers signed up before registrations to speak were cut off about 12:30 p.m., according to Ted Blazel, Wisconsin Senate sergeant of arms.
Though committee co-chairs Rep. Robin Vos (R-Burlington) and Sen. Alberta Darling (R-River Hills) had said they planned to end the meeting by 6 p.m. - a plan that drew criticism from Democrats - testimony was allowed into the early evening, and everyone who signed up to speak had done so by 6:30.
A crowd of hundreds of people who had rallied outside the expo center came in late demanding to speak, but they had not registered by the noontime cutoff, and Vos adjourned the meeting after hearing from all of those who registered. As he and Republican legislators left the room, there were shouts of "let us speak" and "shame."
Vos said he had to end the meeting because he was scheduled to attend a Wisconsin Conservation Congress meeting in his district.
No hearing would have been long enough to satisfy the Democrats and their union allies.
It was guaranteed that they would complain about not being heard.
This "SHAME, SHAME, SHAME" chant is getting to be a joke.
Their rallying cry is akin to a tantrum that's lost its effectiveness, like when the parent simply ignores the screaming child and he finally quiets down.
Acting with some decorum would be a smarter move. Calm and controlled is better than crazed.
As Rep. Robin Vos said, "While many people wanted to speak, and we gave an opportunity to several hundred, many more are going to be able to testify through written communication or electronic."
He's absolutely right.
Time is finite. It's unreasonable to expect public forums to go on indefinitely. Everyone who wants to speak can't always be accommodated. That's not trampling on democracy. It's what we call the earthly limits of time.
Citizens do have other ways of communicating their concerns to elected officials.
Back when Russ Feingold held elected office, he didn't allow his listening sessions to go on forever. The former senator had a strict policy - "up to an hour." Read the rules here. Dems didn't complain then. The union thugs didn't erupt.
Of course, Democrats Chris Larson and Lena Taylor had their lines rehearsed. Whenever the hearing ended, they would object. The chants would begin. The fists would be raised.
Larson and Taylor would ratchet up the rhetoric once again.
Larson tweets:Public hearing shut down. Republicans sneak out the back to shouts of "shame" from the 100s in crowd
And this:Pictures of people who showed up but not allowed to testify are being put up on empty chairs.
Like that bit of theatrics was just spontaneous. Sure.
More from Larson on Facebook.
Also on Facebook, Taylor wrote:To Milwaukee and Wisconsin waiting at the budget hearing to heard:
"Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Right.
Rage, rage, shame, shame, shame, rage, shame, rage, shame, shame, shame, shame, rage, rage, rage, shame, rage, shame TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!Video, from
