Not everyone admires the Founders.
As a reflection of his rebranding as a "progressive," Ed Schultz accused Glenn Beck of "Psycho Talk" for thinking well of the Founding Fathers. After Beck mentioned his appreciation of Samuel Adams, Ed lectured Beck that the Founders deserved no honor, because they were evil white men.
[M]ost of these Founding Fathers that you think so highly of were actually slave owners themselves, and the ones that didn't own slaves weren't exactly abolitionists...[C]omparing progressives to slave owners while idolizing actual slave owners -- that's "Psycho Talk."
In his remarks, Schultz also indicted the Founders for allegedly believing blacks were only three-fifths of a human being.
There are three problems for Big Ed: He's wrong about Samuel Adams; he's wrong about the Founding Fathers; and he's wrong about the three-fifths compromise.

I expect nothing less from knuckle-dragging neanderthals who follow the gospel of Marx, Obuma and La Vey.
The Neo-Liberals are such “Moral relativists” EXCEPT when it applies to the Founding fathers, then they become “Absolute Moralists”.
Compared to the rest of the world at the time of the Founding of this country the founding fathers were downright ENLIGHTENED. They had sunlight streaming out of their rears they were so enlightened compared to the rest of the country which was most all FEUDAL.
Sure some may have owned slaves, but back then it was the Cultural norm. The founding fathers that were abolitionists were laughed at because they weren’t considered NORMAL.
Mr. Moral Relativist is a hypocrite for using being a Moral Absolutists when talking about the founding fathers.
who is this idiot ed schultz and why should anyone care?
BTTT!
This schmuck makes every leftist’s big mistake; trying to project 21st century values onto 18th century men.
The founders were remarkable people for their age and they were faced with a daunting task: putting together 13 disparate colonies into some semblance of a unified whole.
Our simple longevity is sufficient testimony to their foresight and brilliance.
Ed Shultz, on the other hand, is a nobody now and will end up the same way.
Ed Schultz... YOU FOUL MOUTH MARXIST PIG !!!!!

Who is this guy? He spends a lot of time calling people psycho and being wrong about the facts in the process
The trouble is that Ed’s idiot and false history is what is believed by many if not most high school and college students and recent graduates in the US today.
Remember a couple weeks ago with Columbus Day? Columbus is no longer held to be a heroic explorer, instead he is a genocidal exploiter and ruiner of a peaceful Eden-like hemisphere.
Educating all from 15 to 35, trained in Marxist deconstructionist versions of American and World History h — is critical to national survival. But how do we do that, except by getting in the trenches where the young are — the social networks, the schools, the pop culture and fighting it out day after day.
These people hate our country and everything it stands for. Of course they hate the founding fathers. I think there is going to be a backlash.
William WilberforceBlack Rednecks and White Liberals - Thomas Sowell takes a large view of slavery, noting that although it's true that Christians didn't become abolitionists before the 18th Century, no other culture ever did. Not the pagans of Greece and Rome, certainly, an not the Hindu or the Shinto or the Confucian - and most certainly not the Muslims, who were industrial-scale slavers. And certainly, not the Communists either.
One thing to criticize Christians - but compared to what?
The Civil War ultimately came about not because Southerners changed but because they stayed the same while the rest of Christendom became abolitionist. They did not change because didn't know how to. They had a tiger by the tail, and knew it.
One wonders if one of these days we’ll look at abortion the same way we look at slavery....!?
I guess we’ll see.
I said the same thing when I laid eyes on this guy for the first and only time for about two seconds. He looks all the world like the loud, fat, has -had-one-too-many boor at a barbeque or in the gin mill who talking much too loud and nobodys listening to him anyway.
