The Left Discovers Obama’s Thuggery (The Passion of Ed Schultz and Howard Dean)

Thuggery for me, not against me.

Thuggery for me, not against me.

Ed Schultz has joined Howard Dean and others who believe the Democrats should kill this health care bill unless it contains a "public option." He had a brief, relatively tepid exchange yesterday morning with David Axelrod on Morning Joe and decided he was being persecuted. Ed opened his show last night saying:

The White House -- ooh, are they a little touchy as of late? Desperate to sell what they are calling health care reform -- I don't buy it. They are trying to vilify now anyone who opposes it. That's what's happening to Howard Dean.

Ed tried to push himself into the fray, noting that Axelrod had been on Hardball just before The Ed Show and had said:

Ed Schultz is a very passionate person, and I think he genuinely wants what's best for people.

Behold the Passion of Ed Schultz.

Ed's words are (mildly) significant (for once) because they mark the first time anyone on the Left acknowledged what the rest of us have long known: this president is a thug. However, Ed overlooks the fact that violence and intimidation are the modus operandi of the Left. And he ignores the vilification and character assassination he perpetrated against those who opposed socialized medicine from the bill's introduction until this week, which includes quite a litany:

Ed Schultz thinks he’s the Rush Limbaugh of the left. Unfortunately for him, his audience stats show him to be a very minor player in talk radio as well as his cable show.

The bill is going to pass and Obama will just check it off of his list of to do’s to ruin the U.S. and likely have little to nothing more to do with it. He got what he wanted, history stating he created govt healthcare.

Meanwhile the Dems and their supporters will immediately get into a hot civil war, fighting with one another re going back after the controverial stuff that fell out of the bill.

Every time I hear or read the term "The Ed Show" I picture:

Mr. Ed...."of course".

I watched Ed Schultz for about two or three minutes once, it was all I could stand. I don’t remember which Republican he was ranting about but he was almost foaming at the mouth. He was acting like some madman who should be in a strait jacket.

It is becoming difficult to even believe, let alone comprehend the fact of some people having a television show when no normal human being would want to have to be in the same building with them for thirty seconds. Olbermann, Matthews, Schultz etc. I would rather live in a cave than put up with any of them.
