Schultz's Class-Warfare 'Lean Forward': Why Are We Letting Top 2% Win Over Other 98?

In August, Ed Schultz reportedly erupted in the MSNBC newsroom over being excluded from the network's election night promos. According to the NY Post, network honchos threatened to fire Schultz if he pulled a similar stunt again.

Could there be some kiss-and-make-up going on at 30 Rock? Of all the MSNBC personages, the network apparently selected Schultz first to have his own spot in the "Lean Forward" series of network promos. It aired this afternoon during Chris Matthews "Hardball" . . . and the theme was pure class warfare.

Scolded Schultz: "Why are we letting the top 2% of the population win over the other 98?"

I love how all the “lean forward” commercials carry the same message. It shows all the MSNBC anchors walking in early and leaving late.....real blue collar kinda guys ya know. And they are all graciously interacting with the security guards and assistants. They care about the little people.

The Dems have a serious problem with elitism. They proclaimed their communist selves “smart” and Americans, stupid in need of their total rule. Now it has all backfired on their pitiful, stupid selves. So this is an attempt to fix what they did. They are known all over the net as the “smart” stupid people who wrecked our health care system and who hate the constitution.
