Ed Schultz, liberal radio host and MSNBC action hero, has a pronounced aversion to Republicans/conservatives/right wingers coming on his cable show.Why? Depends on when Schultz explains the reason.Here he was on his radio show this past Monday (audio) --You do not see Republican senators on "The Ed Show" on MSNBC. I don't want 'em! I don't want 'em and I'm getting sick of righties on my show anyway. I'm getting sick, I mean, we might have 2011, there might not be any freakin' righties. I'm sick of 'em!

Full meaning of what he said:

"I'm sick of them; I can't argue with them cause I'm not smart enough. Their talking points have substance. No one that listens to MSNBC is looking for substance anyway - they just want polarizing retoric. So why should I screw up the show discussing something meaningful?"

During the holidays, while my favorite conservative hosts are vacationing and some of them are playing ‘Best of’ shows that I’ve already heard, I’ve occasionally turned my Sirius radio to the ‘Sirius Left’ channel to check out what the other side is like.

It’s astonishing. I expected conservative bashing, but the hatred and vulgarity is off-the-charts. I’ve heard ALL of the everyday curse words, including the F-bomb, and have even heard some of the real heavyweights: the dreaded C-word (from a woman, no less) and “c***s*****”.

Is it any wonder that liberal AM failed miserably? Who wants to listen to that? How long would a host be able to use that kind of language on a public airwaves radio program?

And to think that conservatives are constantly accused of “hate speech”. The strongest I ever hear on a conservative program is “a-hole” (Levin) or “jackass” (Rush).
