Ed Schultz to Robert Gibbs: ‘You are full of sh*t and losing your base’ Updated at 1:39 PM
Source: The Raw Story
Addressing a crowd of progressive talk radio fans in Minnesota, MSNBC's Ed Schultz revealed some of the harsh words he exchanged with White House spokesman Robert Gibbs off the air earlier in the week.
"I told him he was full of sh*t is what I told him," Schultz said. "And then he gave me the Dick Cheney f-bomb the same way Senator Leahy got it on the Senate floor. I told Robert Gibbs, I said, 'I'm sorry you're swearing at me, but I'm just trying to help you out."
"I'm telling you, you're losing your base," he continued. "Do you understand that you're losing your base? And that the American people don't want public option, the American people want single-payer!?'"
Schultz, microphone in hand, got quite a few things off his chest at the AM950 Blue State Bash on Saturday night. He criticized Senators Joe Lieberman, Max Baucus, Jim DeMint and Ben Nelson. He called for voting out "people who have infiltrated the Democratic progressive movement." And he also talked about why he doesn't believe in bipartisanship.
"I probably wouldn't make a very good candidate," Schultz admitted. "I don't believe in bipartisanship. After the way (Republicans) ran the country into the ground for the last 8 years what the hell you want me to work with them on?"

1. I don't blame Gibbs, though Updated at 7:54 AM
Gibbs is a good soldier. There is value in that. Ed should, and probably will, have the ear of the President.
Obama has given the GOP the benefit of every doubt for one whole year. Every gesture of unity, bipartisanship, and commonality of purpose has been spurned and ridiculed. I can understand why Obama has done what he has, but it's shelf-life has expired.
It's time the kid gloves went back in the drawer. It's too tough to crack open the whoop-ass cans with them on.

2. Plain-speaking. What a refreshing change.
Too bad the White House Bubble seems to keep most of its cleansing power out, and away from the President.

23. Sometimes you have to
Edited on Mon Jan-25-10 04:57 PM by Confusious
I worked at place, some guy had a nickname for me, and I didn't like it.
So I asked him to stop. Once, Twice, Three, Four...........
one day we were both ended up in the back room. He used the nickname.And I let him have it.
"Listen you Fing SOB, I've asked you to stop, not once but multiple times. STOP CALLING ME BY THAT GDDMN MFing name"
That got through.
Sometimes you have to, to rise above the din in their heads.
A bouncy pops up.

11. If Barack Obama is even half as smart..
...as I think he is, he'll stop listening to advice from the likes of Rahm, Geithner, Summers, Bernake et al...
.. and start paying attention to Big Ed. Those ****ing clowns aren't even fit to sweep Ed's studio.

19. Nothing sounds as sweet as the plain truth. Thank-you Ed for speaking your mind. nt
Now close your eyes and pretend that it was Rush talking instead of Sgt. Schultz and G.W. was still the President. Someone tell me what DUmmy after DUmmy said about not taking advice from a guy on the radio, whose only expertise is entertainment.
They don't see any parallels. Even the dysmenopausal school marm doesn't see it.

When...when did this happen? First I'm hearing of it.

Ed Schultz is nothing like Rush Limbaugh at all.

Oh, yes, DUmbass! That is a capital idea! Please, please, please run with that! Shout it from the rooftops, loud enough for Obama to hear you!

That must have been when he said "I won" and told anyone who didn't agree with him to STFU.

"I'm telling you, you're losing your base," he continued. "Do you understand that you're losing your base? And that the American people don't want public option, the American people want single-payer!?"
Ah, I see the confusion. Had Schultz said :
"I'm telling you, you're losing your base," he continued. "Do you understand that you're losing your base? And that the base doesn't want public option, the base wants single-payer!?"
... he would have been correct. Schultz substituted the words "American people" into the equation, which is a whole separate entitiy. The Dem base is not the American people. Most of the time they're not even Americans.

He strives to be the Moonbat version for DUmmy's.

Is that the same base that supported Air America? If it is, ya all in some serious trouble.

Please, PLEASE make Ed Schultz Obama's most trusted and listened to adviser.

All his base are belong to us.

Yeah, but what if you don't want them?

"I won."

He's also been asked to run for Byron Dorgan's Senate seat.
