Ed Schultz on Why Detroit Went Bankrupt: The City Became a ‘Conservative Utopia’
http://www.theblaze.com ^ | july 22, 2013 | Jason Howerton

Agreeing with fellow MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry, Ed Schultz claimed that Detroit had filed for bankruptcy because the city had a government that was just too small. On Saturday, Schultz argued “Republican policies” led Detroit to become a “conservative utopia.”

Harris-Perry last week said what is happening in Detroit occurs “when government is small enough to drown in your bathtub.”

“Detroit, Michigan, used to be really a symbol of industrial strength and manufacturing in this country. But, thanks to a lot of Republican policies, the city is now filing for bankruptcy,” Schultz said over the weekend.

That's right and I bet that I will find several people around me at the office that will repeat that as gospel truth this week. They say these outlandish lies to defend themselves and attack Conservatives because they have nothing else.

I used to think no one could ever be a bigger dumbass than Olbermann. Ed has managed to surpass even Keith.

So Republican policies killed Detroit? I can see that.
Libtards took over the city and the the Republicans
responed by instituting a ‘get out of Detroit’ policy
and took their money and businesses with them.

This is the same thing as Goebbels did in the 30s-40s and is the same thing the Soviets did for decades. They are simply fighting for their team. Lying doesn’t mean anything to them. It is all about winning control, and they can see it is working. They own most of the visual media and many of the most influential news services. They have control over most of the appointed gov’t positions including a large portion of the court system. They can use anything from bad weather to fiscal calamity as an example of their wonderfulness and their enemies’ failings. Note that Goebbels and German newspapers during WW2 would post headlines like “Germany Saves Norway!” after invading a country and subjugating their people.

The Bible talks about those who WANT to believe a lie. Ed is just playing Satan, and giving them a lie to believe.

The City should be taken over—all debts cancelled—mayor jailed. martial Law emposed and the city burned—the people moved out. Then a new city could be built on the ruins with anyone who wants to really work.

MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry and Ed Schultz are delusional and need to be institutionalized and heavily medicated to protect themselves from themselves.

History, facts, immutable natural laws and experience are all worthless to democrats. It must be wonderful to wake up each morning with know learned knowledge and just be able to start over!

I’m beginning to believe the old adage that ignorance is bliss....
