Ed Schultz Lurches From Panic to Incoherence Over Wisconsin Recall

What a difference 48 hours makes in the barren wasteland known as Ed Schultz's mind.

Back on May 29, Schultz warned of giant flaming acorns falling from the sky if Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker prevailed in a June 5 recall election against Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who was defeated by Walker in the 2010 gubernatorial race. (audio clips after page break)

Here's Schultz sounding the alarm that a Walker victory could foreshadow President Obama's defeat in November, which in turn would usher in an era of permanent GOP control of the White House (audio) --

They are trying to set it up that if Mitt Romney gets elected, if Mitt Romney gets elected, there will never be a Democratic president again in the history of the United States. The future is just, this is the way it's going to be. There'll never be a Democratic president in our lifetime again. And when I say in our lifetime, I'm talking about long, long, long, long, long time.

This is why Wisconsin's so important. The people of the country need to know that you can defeat it. And this in many respects is doing the country a favor, the way they're operating, the way they're lying, the way they're backing up the worst candidate, the worst governor in the country, his record's horrendous, and who he's a puppet to.

So that's why this is so important. They're trying to make it so Barack Obama doesn't get re-elected and no Democrat ever will be elected into the White House.

"This is why Wisconsin's so important" -- Walker wins, Obama in turn loses, and it's the end of the world as we know it.

I am beginning to think the stuff coming out of Schultz’s mouth is all a big act. He’s making more money now then he ever has both on MSNBC, Radio and believe it or not speeches. So why should he change what he is doing? The more he pisses off people like me, the more money he probably gets from the left.

Filter? What’s that? My wife walks away from me anytime a conversation on politics starts. She says I piss people off and she’s right.

Imagine simply telling the truth by pointing out verifiable facts pissing someone off. It happens in Liberalville all the time.

Oddly my mood and spirit soars in an inverse reaction to the aggravation and grief I cause my “friends” (Ok maybe it’s not so odd).

He was, at one point, coherent? Who would have thought!

STANDING OVATION!

Schultz just went where the money was. Nobody would pay such a demented thug to be a conservative, but MSNBC considers him to be a great spokesman for the leftie cause. He’s an ivory tower leftist’s idea of a union man. Tonight may be a great night to watch MSNBC when Ed’s head finally explodes, and the rest of the lefties chant “We wuz robbed!”

Walker wins, Obama in turn loses, and it's the end of the world as we know it.

Yes, Ed, if my prayers are answered it is the end of your world.

I tried but could not last long to be "open minded" so I dared watch Ed Schultz Show. I left when He says Fox Reports Obama Avoided Wisconsin...... ( Now with that line you would right away think He was going to prove that the President did visit the state.) but no he then says Well people did not care that Obama did not visit.

So He just harped about Fox but Fox's facts are still right.

It's the things he pumps up to make bigger than it really is in perspective.

What a Nut!

I remember when Keith Olberman was Fired. I thought MSNBC was going to go to a conservative or more balanced show. Then I heard it was Ed I knew that was it. I remember him on sirius radio. He is just some spin meister.

Yes, he’s Ed. He’s special. He’s Special Ed.
