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?

Typical liberal tactic. Point fingers at everybody who had nothing to do with the disaster and hope that if repeated often enough by liberal media it becomes accepted as fact. Schultz is worse than his namesake from Hogan’s Heroes who knew nothing.

10,000 homes to be demolished?? Wow.

I’ve heard that some parts of Detroit were never rebuilt after the riots of 1967.

Jesse JACKSON and others talk about dis’investment in our cities, but they never talk about why major retailers and other businesses avoid places like inner city Detroit. You would swear listening to them that businesses are all racist, and avoid certain areas due to racism, and that there is no other possible reason for white flight and businesses leaving.

In Detroit and many other cities, middle class blacks moved out of these cities after the big riots of the ‘60s. Were all of the black ppeople who moved out racist????.

The RATs took over Detroit in 1962 with Jerome Cavanaugh, who stole the election by busing in Blacks from everywhere to upset Miriana (a pubbie).

Following Cavanaugh, a one term wanabe judge (Gribbs) who left to become a judge and setup Coleman Young, a Black man, who held office for 20 years and began the REAL end to the City of Detroit.

The last time there was a Republican mayor in Detroit was 1961.

In 1960 Detroit had the highest per capita income of any US city.

Fifty years of Democrat rule have produced a bankrupt city.

First Detroit, next Chicago, next Kalifornia, finally USA.

It’ll be more like the Warsaw ghetto around these parts. No choo-choo for me.

At the end of the Roman Empire the Visigoths were primarily looking for food. This is how it will look for us

Schultz would crap his pants and then stand in his stink complaining that the Republicans are evil because they won’t change his diaper for him.

Those Visigoths had better stay out of my Roman villa because my gladii and pila are very sharp and I know how to use them. :-D

Don’t even get me started. LOL. My DH’s cousin and her husband lived in A2. He was a teacher who drove his “Pious” 40-50 miles one way to school five days a week. When they were getting ready to move, they asked DH, who has a Ford truck and who drives *2.7 miles* one way to work, to act as their U-Haul.

On moving day, while DH was doing the majority of the heavy lifting, the pasty-faced, soft doughboy of the the overly liberal variety had the nerve to say that the Ford was a “gas hog.” A2 is 55 miles from us. I wish my DH had said, “Yeah, I considered all that gas hogging and potential harm to the planet when you called to ask me to help you move. You’re lucky I decided to come.” :-)

Isn’t Ed that dog shooting, etc, etc . . . ”

Could be. Most media whores live low class lives. I wouldn’t know from personal experience. You must follow the media whores a lot closer than I.

That Schultz is a paid propagandist, as VRW Conspirator notes, indicates Schultz gets money for his “services.”

One would have to shut down major portions of one’s brain to accept this BS as truth.

But I think Ed has succeeded marvelously.


The media is going to endlessly pound away that it was the GOP’s fault, and more and more people will come to believe it. Lying works. The truth doesn’t.

This sort of rhetoric appeals to the low information voters who tune in to MSNBC nightly to get their “news”, that’s all.


You can bet CNN and the Big Three will pick up on Schultz’s spiel. The left is already blaming it on racist creepy ass crackers who left the city and left it underfunded.

Don’t ever underestimate the power of deception

Exactly - they wouldn't keep it up if they couldn't get folks to listen. "The bigger the lie..."

Detroit has been run by democRATs/progressives/Marxists/liberals for over 50 years, and Detroit's problems are cause by REPUBLICAN policies!?

I guess Sgt. Shultz is still stuck on stupid.

Not really. He knows if he and his ilk keep saying it, people will eventually believe it.
