Should he do it? Would you go?
I know there's a march in the works for Oct. Maybe Ed should join the effort. Maybe we could get Colbert, Stewart, and Maddow to come. What do you think?
Ed Schultz: I bet I could match Glenn Beck
MSNBC host Ed Schultz says he wasn’t impressed by the crowd Fox's Glenn Beck was able to draw to Washington over the weekend, saying he could “easily†match Beck.
“I could get every union head in this country, I could organize every progressive group in this country, the main bloggers,†Schultz said on his radio show Tuesday. “This could be The Ed March.â€
Schultz used NBC News’ projection of 300,000 attendees to Beck’s rally as the baseline he could reach — though CBS and others have placed the number of Beck supporters at less than 100,000.
“Folks, 300,000 people on the heels of six months promotion — that ain't no big shakes,†Schultz said, alluding to Beck’s frequent plugs for the event on his own television and radio shows as well as his website.
“I bet I could do that,†Schultz said of the 300,000 number. “I bet I could do that with this radio show and my TV show and six months production, six months promotion, if I had the budget I could equal that march. I know I could.â€
“I guarantee you, I could do more than 300,000,†he added. “It ain't a big deal.â€

Given the a lot of the comments on the story, I don't think the wingers like Beck being challenged. I think I smell fear.
:lmao: :rotf: I think I'll go over and read some of the comments. That's not what you're smelling, BTW, unless it's under your own armpits. ETA: Not "a lot" of the comments, but ALL of the comments were derisive and dismissive of Big Ed the Blowhard

6. I'd wear a DU shirt. :-)
Agree, don't call it the Ed March. There could be a contest to "name" the march. That would be fun too.
Hey kids! Let's put on a show!

8. Some teachers' unions are planning a march on Oct 2.
http://www.peoplesworld.org/teachers-union-endorses-oct... /
It would be wise to join forces and march as a coalition of people who are being underserved or screwed over by the beltway in the year 2010.
Specifically, working people, SS advocates, peace advocates, glbts, labor , and all of the rest of he constituency groups that together make up 90% of the population.
90%? Wow.
They want, so so badly, to have something like Beck's 8/28. Ain't gonna happen.

Linky dont work :(

From above;
MSNBC host Ed Schultz says he wasn’t impressed by the crowd Fox's Glenn Beck was able to draw to Washington over the weekend, saying he could “easily†match Beck.
So?!?!? He wasn't impressed with the crowd size, huh?!? But yet, he says he can match the size of the crowd "easily"?!?!
HA HA!! You DUmmies have a way with words, you know that?! :bird: :censored:

In 6 months time I wonder wha tthe morale of the leftist base would be.
Also not Ed Schitz said he'd tap the unions.
As fate would have it Mr. Beck didn't have to rely on summoning people who must pay dues to be allowed to work. His attendees came of their own choice.

Okay, then, . . .
“I bet I could do that,†Schultz said of the 300,000 number. “I bet I could do that with this radio show and my TV show and six months production, six months promotion, if I had the budget I could equal that march. I know I could.â€
Put up or shut up.
Notice the "out" he gives himself . . .
if I had the budget
:gay2:
-
Ed Schultz has a radio & television show? How did I somehow miss that big news?
-
"If I had the budget"
Who needs a budget...just make a bunch of promises of money and free stuff. That's what Obama did and he had, supposedly, 2 million show up.

The Straight Story (1000000000+ posts)
I will be there but only if someone out there will be kind enough (you know who you are) to give me gas money and if my car doesn't break down. And I'll be sure this time to make sure the date on my camera is correct.
My ex-wife wants to go on a hot air balloon ride before she dies. Can we plan it for the same day? It would make her day to fly in a hot air balloon over the capital before she dies of whatever disease she has this week but we'll need to stop at Walgreen's and pick up her prescriptions. My gawd, those prescriptions are expensive - blame Bush!!!!

:lmao: :rotf: That one is definitely on my list.

Labor and liberal groups to hold Oct. 2 rally on Mall to counter Beck, Tea Party

Yeah that would go over well with the American people - a faux rally making fun of the out of power party while the economy is in the crapper due to Democrats.
Would they have some comedians in blackface doing a Steppin Fetchit parody of the black speakers at Beck's rally, too?
