Schultz Says Republican Racism Behind Its Opposition To 'Occupy' Movement
NewsBusters ^

Posted on 10/10/2011 8:03:11 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Serious question: if he ever had it, has Ed Schultz totally lost it? There's lots to be said about the Occupy Wall Street movement. But of all the cockamamie comments, of all the nutty non sequiturs, surely Ed Schultz's takes the crazy cake.

On his MSNBC show tonight, Schultz claimed that what lies behind Republican criticism of Occupy is . . . racism. In a beyond-bizarre analogy, Schultz somehow said that there's "no difference" between GOP congressman Peter King's criticism of Occupy Wall Street and . . . Trent Lott's 2002 birthday-party praise for Strom Thurmond. W-h-a-a-a-t?

The amount of viewers who know what Schultz had to say just doubled by posting his screed on FR.

This just shows how absolutely brainwashed and ignorant the majority of Americans are - because they will believe this trash... despite the very obvious fact that the majority of the “Occupy” crowd are... WHITE...

What an absolute idiot.

Then again - there are a lot of folks I have encountered who believe the TEA Party movement is racist as well...

It would seem the word “racism” no longer has any connection to the beliefs or behavior of the person to whom it is applied. It has come to be nothing more than a “you disagree with me, therefore I want to hurt you” word.

“These people lack the reasoning capability of lower level primates.”

Are you bigoted toward the rest of the vertebrate species, not to mention the invertebrates? I suppose you’re a Republican ... it would figure.

Ed, I hope you’re lurking on FR so that you can report on this newest outrage.

Sgt. Schultz only gains from any discussion about him on FR - just ignore him and he’ll melt into a useless puddle of spit and hatred.

Schultz’s goal, and that of the Left in general, is to stir up hate against all who oppose them. Making sense, being honest, avoiding stupid or hypocritical statements — none of that matters to these people.

That’s why we will probably win the battle for public opinion. But to win the war, we have to limit vote fraud.

The morons at MSNBC must get a bonus check for the person that can make the stupidest, bald faced, completely devoid of fact, lie of the week.

Your posted picture of Eddie-Sh. reminds me of something I saw in a kindergarden book that I read to my grandchildren.

Don’t tell me - - - . Darn! Why can’t I remember? Okay, three monkeys, or was it four - - - ? Well, anyway, “Look, no evil - - -. “ No, that’s not quite right - - - .

I’ll work on this tomorrow.

Its simple. The Left is obsessed with race. I know I have two ubber leftist brothers. Race explains everything alot with “poverty”. When trying to explain 9/11 many of them said it was caused by poverty till any sane person could point out that many of the 9/11 terrorists were from wealthy families. Racism is always the #1 cause they will always hide behind even if it makes no sense.

Schultz Says Republican Racism Behind Its Opposition To 'Occupy' Movement...actually it's their latent necrophiliac tendencies that lead to their opposition - as long as you're going to make bizarre illogical accusations, you might as well make them really spectacular......

Most Black Americans today know NOTHING about Black History earlier than MLK. If they did, none of them would be Democrats, Ever.

The Democrats were clearly the pro-slavery party in the 1800s, and following the Civil War the Democrats fought against giving black Americans any Civil Rights and did everything to prevent blacks from being a part of the political process which is why they formed the KKK to intimidate blacks and whites from voting for pro-civil rights Republicans. And for over 100 years Democrats in congress voted time and time and time again Against any civil rights legislation proposed by Republicans.
Democrats today still have Blacks in a form of slavery, by twisting their knowledge of history by erasing history older than than MLK. And their new Slave Master is keeping’s them in “Want”, and the Government being the provider.

Does Fat Eddy know this?
