When MSNBC gave Ed Schultz a nightly segment entitled "Psycho Talk," it was apparently in obedience to the truth in advertising laws. On Thursday night, the low-rated host of "The Ed Show" used that segment -- which is supposed to highlight over-the-top rhetoric from conservatives -- to call Rush Limbaugh "a racist, pill-poppin' radio guy."
Schultz was outraged that Rep. Steve King, R-IA, had asked NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to apologize to Rush Limbaugh for denying Rush partial ownership of the St. Louis Rams while allowing Jennifer Lopez and Fergie to become co-owners of the Miami Dolphins after worse (read: actual) offenses. Schultz assaulted King and the talk show titan:
Once again, we have the Righties playing the fringe in jumping to the Drugster's defense, straying from a very serious topic in a serious hearing to defend a racist, pill-poppin' radio guy. That's Psycho Talk.
Big Ed then insulted Media Research Center and Newbusters.org founder Brent Bozell, alleging that the media had nothing to apologize for in its reporting about Rush Limbaugh:
[F]ellow Psycho Talker “Bozo” Brent Bozell issued a statement today saying that the demand for an apology was quite “exactly what we have been calling on the media to do.” For what?
Schultz's denial of reality and endless demonization of Bozell and Rush Limbaugh prove the depths of little Ed's Genius Envy. Let's examine....

Ed’s a hater.
Awwwwwww. Cute. And Obama is.......................????? Yes. I thought so. You have NO argument.
Still don’t know who this bozo is, and still don’t want to know.
Why do we give him the time of day?
Why give this guy any attention at all?
Who cares, only what 12 people watch his show. He tyakes on Rush hoping Rush will reply and three more people will watch his show.
This story IMHO is a waste of bandwidth.
Yeah... I like it.
Was he the guy in Hogan’s Heroes?
Don’t even waste your time. An amoeba would make a better talk show.
As far as I can tell, Ed represents MSNBC’s views magnificently — part of the reason they have one-quarter of Fox’s viewership.
Ah, SOMEone’s trying to get ratings.
I know NOTHING!
Ed is a Red Diaper Doper Baby.
One question, though. What's an MSNBC?
Ignore him...everyone else does.
typical lefty slander, that’s all they have: slander, censor or run...because they sure as hell can’t debate Rush on logic
...speaking of drug popping...do you think obama is still a cocaine addict??...do you think he was a dealer too when he was younger?? (by his own admission he was a cocaine user)
This guy is a redneck liberal. He makes me laugh trying to be a everyday Joe. I think he is ignorant and it shows. He tries to be ssooo intellectual but his dumbness is showing like a long slip under a mini skirt.
In a weird way, I feel sorry for Schultzie. He’s a desperate, sad, nothing of a guy. He screams, beats his chest, says off-the-wall stuff to get articles like this written about him, and it doesn’t matter. He cannot escape obscurity, no matter how hard he tries. It is his home. His personal hell.
You know it makes him violently angry. And you know he brings that rage home with him and fuels it with copious amounts of booze. I’m willing to bet his personal life is a nightmarish train-wreck that would make the average dysfunctional guy wince and look away.
We’ll be seeing him weeping before a judge after being found guilty of a violent crime, probably against a woman, before too long.
