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?

During the Garfield vs. Hancock election a handbill was passed out as a reminder of who the Democrats were. It would be considered inflammatory language today, but if you were at age to still remember the Civil War and was handed this handbill, it was very profound and true.
Why I will not Vote for the Democratic Ticket
I am opposed to the Democratic Party, and I will tell you why.
Every State that seceded from the United States was a Democratic State.
Every man that shot Union soldiers was a Democrat.
Everyman that loves slavery better than Liberty was a Democrat.
The man that assassinated Abraham Lincoln was a Democrat.
Every man that sympathized with the assassin – every man glad that the noblest President ever elected was assassinated – was a Democrat’
Every man that wept over the corps of [end of] slavery was a Democrat.
Every man that cursed Lincoln because he issued the Proclamation of Emancipation – the grandest paper since the Declaration of Independence – every one of them was a Democrat.
Soldiers! Every scar you have got on your heroic bodies was given you by a Democrat. Every scar, every arm that is lacking, every limb that is gone, every scar is a souvenir of a Democrat.
The handbill then contrasted Republican and Democrats:
The Republicans have done some noble things – things that will be remembered as long as there is history. But there are some things they did not do.
They did not use an army to force slavery into Kansas…
They did not oppose emancipation/
They were not “Ku-Klux”
They did not scourge, and hang, and shoot, and murder men for opinions sake.
They did not organize the Louisiana white league or the South Carolina rifle clubs
They did not drench the South with the blood of inoffensive colored men…
Maybe Ed Schultz is suffering from early onset Alzheimers. Even career race baiters like JJ and Al Sharpton wouldn’t get behind a line like that one.
Btw, I call the OWS crowd the “0.01% Movement”.
Lol on the tag line.
I’ve been posting this tagline for weeks and you are the first one who understood it lol..DING DING DING You are the winner.
Their tactics have changed to . . . just confuse them to death?
Hey, its either on or off. Too easy. Seems you are one of those that are always ON.
Thanks for posting this...is there a place I can find this aggregated list of the first black congressmen and party affiliation on the web? I was not finding an aggregation when I googled, and I am quite interested in being able to provide such information from an authoritative source.
Even among programmers, it seems fewer and fewer appreciate binary—and how wonderfully efficient the clever use of bit-wise operations can make an algorithm.
“is there a place I can find this aggregated list of the first black congressmen and party affiliation on the web? “

And I highly recommmend David Barton’s book
“Setting the Record Straight: American History in Black & White”

That’s why I buy Wonder Bread, mayonnaise and tuna.
I’m racist.
I’d never buy pumpernickel (oh wait, that’s German), rye (no, that’s Jewish) oh heck.
GOOD GRIEF! He is stark raving nuts.
Is there ANYTHING whatsoever that libs DON’T consider racist? He probably tells every black person he meets that he watched Roots.
