MSNBC suspends Schultz for calling Ingraham a 'slut'
Politico ^ | 5/25/11 | Keach Hagey

Posted on 05/25/2011 4:21:43 PM PDT by Nachum

MSNBC has suspended Ed Schultz for one week without pay for calling Laura Ingraham a ‘right-wing slut’ on his radio program Tuesday.

“Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” MSNBC said in a statement Wednesday evening.

Schultz will address the remarks on his television show Wednesday night, and begin his leave immediately afterward, MSNBC said.

The Daily Caller first noted the epithet in the midst of Schultz's critique of Ingraham’s criticisms of the president’s trip to Ireland.

“And what do the Republicans thinking about?” Schultz said. “They’re not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They’re just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they’re talking about, like this right-wing slut, what’s her name?, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she’s a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama’s doing it, they’re working him over.”

We’re now an angry pathetic country. We’re not cohesive and loyal to each other. We’re on the edge. We’re no longer much of a country because we now hate each other for what the media and others push us to believe. It isn’t about L or R, it is about politicians and media players who play us against each other so that they financially benefit.

Part of the remedy would be enough people turning in their cable box; do it for the children.

Why suspend the host of a show that very few people watch?

“I really hope Laura Ingraham takes him to civil court for defamation and slander and sues him and MSNBC for millions of dollars.

Time to stop playing nice and push back HARD “

I hear you, but don’t agree. Today it’s slut...but tomorrow it might be jerk, then loser, then unqualified. And then it comes back on our friends...like Beck saying Islam wants conquest.

It’s a slippery slope - I like it this way - make this idiot accountable in the free market, and make MSNBC hang him out to dry (i.e., so they don’t lose 70% of their remaining viewers).

Its a way to appear to be punishing the transgression while forwarding the meme that he started.

This is all quite interesting, but what does his co-hort Mz. Rachel Maddow think about this news? She/he is on the right with his/her spouse.

"Schultz began his career as a right-wing talk radio host himself, but had a change of heart in 2000, becoming one of the most prominent progressive voices on the radio."

Isn't there a saying that if you're not a liberal when you're young you have no heart? But if you're not a conservative when you get older you have no brains? Or something like that. Schultz as usual has it a$$-backwards.

If it’s OK for Moonbeam Jerry Brown, it’s ok for the PMSNBC fathead. “Slut” is now mainstream. Where is Jane, you ignorant ....
