Well, someone is certainly "obsessed."

Last night, Ed Schultz on MSNBC's The Ed Show, fell into a trap set by the object of his Genius Envy, Rush Limbaugh. In his Psycho Talk segment, Ed mocked Rush for saying on his radio program last Friday:

The media tweak of the day: Hitler put people in jail to lower the unemployment numbers. Another media tweak: that's how Dachau started.

Ed either missed the words "media tweak," or was too busy cribbing from the George Soros-funded Media Matters‘ earlier hit piece on the show. Everyone else took his words as a tip-off that Limbaugh made his statement in anticipation that it would lead the next round of infuriated media coverage. Rush even spent the next segment of his show joking with Snerdley about whether he should bleep his statement.

According to a Google search, most leftists resisted covering the statement, except Sgt. Schultz and Soros's dumpster-divers. Each has its own reason. Soros pays well for a daily hit on Rush. Schultz is perpetually jealous of Rush's position in Schultz’s chosen profession.

There is also the third factor in the Left's coverage of Rush: the Left has no sense of humor. Paul Cooper here at NewsRealblog commented on the last time Rush pulled one over on the Left....

I don’t understand what “media tweak” means. I found documentation that inmates at Dachau included Germans “shy of work” and other nationalities “shy of work.”

It doesn’t matter if it’s true; the point is no one is supposed to say it. And if the person who condemns Nazism is conservative, the only logical conclusion is that he’s a Nazi himself.

Got it. Thanks for clearing that up. The fact that he dared to say such a thing is beyond the lamestream media’s understanding. And, in fact, they probably don’t believe that it’s true and wouldn’t take the time to look it up.

I like when Rush refers to Ed Schultz as "Mr. Ed"

I wonder why they use all the fat photos of Rush. Isn’t that insensitive.

The Marxists cry for oppression, I say let’s give it to them.

Heh.

My first thought when seeing the photo was “so that’s what this Ed Schultz clown looks like”.

One difference, though.

"Mr. Ed" and Ed Schultz use different ends of the horse to talk out of.
