MSNBC host Ed Schultz is tearing into Robert Gibbs and the rest of President Barack Obama’s team, telling the White House press secretary that he is “full of sh—.”
Speaking at the progressive Blue State Bash event at the Minneapolis Convention Center on Saturday, Schultz relayed a combative exchange he had off the air with Gibbs, who last appeared on his program “The Ed Show” on Thursday.
“I know it’s being recorded, but I wasn’t told it was off the record,” Schultz said in a video posted on theuptake.org. “Mr. Gibbs and I had quite the conversation off the air the other night. I’m gonna tell ya, I told him he was full of sh—.”
“I did,” Schultz continued. “And then he gave me the Dick Cheney f-bomb the same way Sen. Leahy got it on the Senate floor. I told Robert Gibbs, I said: ‘And I’m sorry you’re swearing at me, but I’m just trying to help you out. I’m telling you you’re losing your base. Do you understand you’re losing your base?’”
Schultz set a fiery tone in the nearly 20-minute speech that eviscerated the Democratic Party for not listening to its progressive wing.
“We have to get these people who have infiltrated the Democratic progressive movement and get them the hell out,” Schultz boomed. “We are still in an ideological fight for this country.”

Clash of the morons.
If you mean “progressive” as referring to the number on the bathroom scale, Ed, then yes, you’re progressive. You’re also progressive with regards to repetition and boredom.
Ed Shultz = nut job
Whose turn to make the popcorn?

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Yep...the first time I ever agreed with both of them.
Their insanity about this stuff seems to be enough to justify why they should NEVER be in charge.
Conservatives are passionate, but we certainly don’t resort to the kind of violence and profanity that these morons do.
Hmm, sounds like the inverse of the calls to purge RINOs from the GOP, even in regions like Massachussetts where they end up taking Ted Kennedy's seat away from the Dems.
It's one thing for RINOs to want to control the party platform and seek to win the GOP nomination for president - that should be fought. But polling shows conservatives are 40 percent of the country, which means we still have to form alliances with centrists to win the White House and to win in blue states. That's just basic math, but calculations that some are unwilling to perform.

Communist wing he means
He’s right they really need to be more socialist so that even the stupid independents get the message. Go for the extreme left fringe 10% of the vote.
Please, please, please take advice from Ed Schultz.
He’s shooting the messenger (figuratively). Gibbs is just the Baghdad Bob of the Administration.
When Obambi is down to 30 % approval, it will be made up completely of his “base”.... So Schulz is really, really full of sh#t.
Pass the popcorn.
When did you become so reasonable and politically savvy? I thought you were on the side of “principle over victory”.
It seems to be a lefty talking point today: Obama isn’t a radical and he needs to move his party’s left to govern effectively.
