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?

Attention Mr. Schultz: Detroit got this way due to solid DEMOCRAT rule from 1961 through 2013. Republicans haven’t had a say in how Detroit was run, mismanaged, looted, and destroyed. The smart people and businesses have either moved to the suburbs or out of the state. Detroit managed its own suicide with DEMOCRATS firmly at the helm.
Black riot in 1968 nationwide destroyed many cities, caused rise in crime and whites simply left the city to them. As long as blacks control the cities, the whites will not return. They may commute in to work in high tech companies that take advantage of tax incentives, but rarely visit or be willing to live in Detroit. If the gov offers low tax incentives, it will be Hispanic immigrants (legal and illegal) who may take over the neighborhoods. Hispanics and Blacks do not get along.
dilettante...
A fallow mind where no original or relevant thought can grow...
Yes, Ed Schultz is nuttier than squirrel droppings. But he is hardly unique in his utopian presumptions and angry protestations at a world that stubbornly refuses to conform to his fantasies.
If Obama could only force all the white people to move back into Detroit, accompanied by a trillion-dollar Federal bailout, all would be right again. But people don't know what's best for them: that's why we need government. To force them to do what's best for everyone.
Don't laugh. Liberals believe it.
Ann Arbor is full of Toyota Piouses, I mean Priuses.
There’s only one way to blame republicans for Detroit.
And that is, if you’d just have left it alone it could have just continued to self-destruct, and run up massive debts, but not declare bankruptcy.
Libtards will believe this, but they believe anything that cements in their narrow worldview of liberals good, republicans evil.
I wish someone would sufficiently provoke good ‘ol Ed.
I kind of figure that he either started out as ‘special needs’ and was lost track of or he’s had several major strokes.
I think all it would take would be feeding him the right collection of random words and all his pent up rage would trigger and he’d vapor lock.
(I hope it’s captured on tape. Both to prove it’s self-inflicted but mainly as a GREAT conservative money raiser as a pay-for-view)
You CANNOT fix retarded!
Doesn't matter it will always be our fault which means they will never listen. The only way is if they recognize the big lie.
At this point the big lie which most Republicans are being deceived on is that the Republican party is based on conservationism. When I was growing up conservatives had a majority in both parties, today they are extinct in both major parties
“Detroit’s ruin was actually the end result of a conservative utopia.”
Ed, you’re a very sick man and I sincerely hope you get the help that you so desperately need....because until you do, you have the potential to harm innocent people.
Sooner rather than later, the gravy train will stop. Excuses won’t matter and things will get real.
People will continue to delude themselves, but it won’t matter because rationalizations don’t help feed hungry stomachs. Easy-credit and bailouts won’t be available.
Detroit needs to realize that their problems stem from bad management of resources and that they ran out of other peoples money.
No wait, Democrats have controlled Detroit for the past 50 years. Never mind.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
The only way the left can continue is by believing the lies they create. It doesn’t matter how preposterous, convoluted and impossible the lies are. It only matters that there are people ignorant and foolish enough to believe them, like the media and and their low information viewers. Of course Schultz believes in his lies, because he believes in the leftist vision.
This is why all conservatives need to be destroyed. If they exist anywhere in the US, they ruin everything. The real solution to all problems is to get rid of conservatives.
Tell me you haven’t seen some liberal make a version of the above argument.
Germany’s “National Socialist Workers’ Party” was faaaar leftwing.
And they had quite the charismatic leader...
You understand what is really going on here. You get it.
Obama will do this on a national scale as the pain of ObamaCare and everything else in his agenda begins to really hurt most Americans.
Then the country will happily wave goodbye the trains carrying the Jooos to camps.
Such is history - being repeated right here.
LOL. It wouldn’t be Ed if he didn’t make a Pavlovian, knee-jerk, anti-Republican statement like this. Obama could kill his wife and family in cold blood and Ed would find a way to blame Republicans. I hope they keep him on — he really is comic relief.
