Ed Schultz: “Thanks to a lot of Republican policies, [Detroit] is now filing for bankruptcy”

We’ve got another one, ya’ll. I thought Melissa Harris-Perry’s utterly illogical talking point about Detroit serving as an example of what “Republicans would impose on us” was bad, but this… Do you think that maybe he actually believes what he’s saying, or that he’s just straight-up lying through his teeth because there is literally no good way to spin Detroit’s fiscal collapse as anything other than the inevitable conclusion of a total progressive utopia without peddling outright falsehoods? Because, according to Mr. Schultz — and stay with him here, because there’s a good chance you might not have realized this — Detroit’s ruin was actually the end result of a conservative utopia. Is your mind blown, or what?

There are plenty of wealthy Democrats to help out; Al Gore, Kennedy Family, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Harry Reid, John Corzine and Jerry Brown to name a few..

I am sure John McCain would love to help too.

I’m guessing satire again. This one can’t be true.

Go to any liberal zip code in Michigan and you will find the highest proportion of folks driving foreign cars. Go to any parking lot at any public school here in metro-Detroit and you will see plenty of foreign cars. I always want to ask those teachers when was the last time the majority of the children in the their classes were Japanese or German.

I’m all for freedom of choice in buying decisions but you can’t claim to love Detroit and unions if you are buying foreign cars.

Of course, Detroit’s experiment in self-governnance has also been a miserable failure over the last four decades.

Schultz is lying. Schultz is a propagandist. --- Schultz would have to have a functioning brain for either of those statements to be true. Schultz is an idiot.

I get it- Big Ed thinks Detroit’s problems are because Republicans wont bail them out

NOT that they went bankrupt, but because Republicans wont give them money now to fix the bankruptcy

but I thought Obama saved Detroit?

Didn’t he run on that in 2012?

Stupid does as stupid thinks.

There is no way to help some people without letting them hit bottom first.

Oh well, so whom else is he going to blame? The Democrats won’t blame themselves and their policies. This is what the majority of his audience wants to hear, so he gives it to them.

Ed, you stupid sonovabitch.

Detroit was run by progressives for 50 years. There hasn't been ANY Republicans on the council since Keith Butler was there, and Keith served one term and no longer lives in the city.

There hasn’t been a Republican Mayor in Detroit since 1961.

The end result of pissing away achievement for has resulted in more than 10,000 homes that will need to demolised and who knows how many buildings and former factories.

50+ off the Liberal Democrat Urban Dream.

Feel the burn....

Got Utopia?
