These psychopaths will say and do anything to keep the mentally disabled in their camps.
These psychopaths have been misrepresenting the truth for so long that I tend to tune them out. Thank goodness we have people like Ed Schultz to keep us abreast of what these psychopaths are saying and doing!

#1 - Sun Nov 29, 2009 9:09 AM ESTI'm glad you use the word psychopaths. Psychopaths really are the most manipulative and often very charismatic. You can spot one quite often if a person over time continually makes bizarre claims and lays guilt trips on everybody else but him and "his own." You see it in Hannity, Limbaugh and even some presidents. They're not like most everybody else. Bummer thing is most people have a hard time reconciling this notion.
Here's the sociopathic checklist:

Gosh, Lonnie, what a scathing retort. I don't think Mr Schultz or his reputation will ever recover from that one. Did you feel all tingly after you typed that?

only thing that would give me a tingly feeling down my leg would seeing about 500 morons on capital hill behind bars in prison. . . . . . and well. . . . . .. the mrs. . . .

What a coincidence. I just bumped into Ed Schultz at the coffee shop today. He looked all sad, like he'd been crying all night. I asked him what was wrong, expecting maybe that his mom has just passed away or something. He said he'd been sobbing uncontrolably since yesterday afternoon. He said he'd read some comment someone had posted on Newsvine calling him a psychopath.
Lonnie- I think he was talking about you. He was devastated. He said he's gonna quit his job and move to a cabin in the backwoods of Montana to try to escape the utter humiliation of your comment.
I hope you're happy.
I like Ed Schultz. He's honest, and thoughtful enough to make sense. His anger is reasonable and justified. He reminds me a bit of Rep. Grayson in that manner. They have moral clarity on the issues they care most about. That's refreshing, and long over-due.

#2 - Sun Nov 29, 2009 9:29 AM ESTThis is not Schultz's first so called "calling out." He tries this when his already dismal ratings plunge. If he had any listeners, he wouldn't try to ride the coat tails of those who do.

#3 - Sun Nov 29, 2009 10:18 AM ESTHuh? Ed Shultz has a segment called Psycho Talk. It's part of his show. It always has been. Also, WHITEHOOD, you're more than welcome to defend Sean Hannity with any posting you wish. Instead of blindly critiquing Ed Shultz, it would help educate people here as to your defense of Hannity. I think people would love that discussion.

I don't have to. Hannity has the ratings and Schultz doesn't. BTW I'm not that big a fan of Hannity and personally I think his show is not as good without Colmes. However the ratings say otherwise.

Not talking about ratings. I'm talking about your defense of his show. But if you're unwilling to debate the merits of what he says, I completely understand. Second, you didn't refute what I said about Schultz's segment. I would suggest being informed before posting on here.

It works both ways Mike and we'll have to discuss the simple fact that Schultz has no ratings and has pulled his "calling out" stunts before. Like I posted earlier, I'm not a big fan of Hannity, but less so of Schultz. If he had anything at all he'd go head to head against Beck, but he can't, he follows him in the hope that some of Beck's viewers will switch to him while Fox changes to more hard news programming.

Got it. What most now call the continued degradation of the image of the Republican party led by Hannity, Limbaugh and Beck, you defend. I'm in media; and you fail to report that some of the most watched shows are simply sensationalistic - political or otherwise. Right-wingers often have a reputation for not being terribly intellectually based. Limbaugh, Beck and Hannity will ALWAYS draw ratings with those who are conservative - many who'd rather vegetate in front of the TV rather than read or go into the sciences. Right-wing shows - TV and radio - often have little to do with actual truth or substance.

I hope you are not equating ratings with quality. I mean, just because you may have gotten away with the crime, doesn't mean the crime wasn't committed.

Like Schultz is quality? He's a left wing mothpiece for liberal propaganda. Hannity is just the opposite, he just doesn't try to disguise it. Like I said no ratings for the left wing.

Yeah it is kind of like calling American Idol a great show because it is the number one rated show when everyone knows that it is a second rate talent contest.

I don't think that is the point; sensationalism always gets ratings; why does the super bowl get higher ratings than any other game? Final four? World series?" These are sensational events in comparison to others.
Fox news is to news as the National Enquirer is to news - shock with no substance.

If ratings = quality, then McDonald's must be the best quality restaurant in the world, Whitehood.

If ratings = quality then Squarepants SpongeBob kicks Hannity's ass. Well - he already does intellectually AND in the ratings.

Remember, in 2003 FOX News won a court decision in which they fervently fought for the right to intentionally lie, distort the facts, and mislead their audience.
And Beck had previously acknowledged that he, Hannity, and O'Reilly are not journalists or reporters ("I'm a commentator"), and therefore they are not beholden to the guidelines of journalistic integrity and ethics and are free to make crap up.

#4 - Sun Nov 29, 2009 10:20 AM ESTToo bad so many people cannot differentiate between news and B.S. The Fox Team of
Reporters/Commentators, with their verbal gymnastics, contort news worthy items
into their own personal spring boards for launching attacks and misguided assaults
upon a respectable citizenary. The Fox Team may be viewed as "the blind leading
the blind".

There are no journalists with integrity. Bias is always present. Even when they think they are just presenting the facts they show their bias by the words and photos they use. They can find more pejorative words for their stories than the public is aware of. By definition, journalists are cynics and they also live by ratings. A journalist who is not popular has little longevity in the business. The neolibs support everyone from the left no matter how extreme. All they have to do to get that support is criticize the right. An unfortunate truth!
What a silly screed, and in the end, it's all the 'neo-libs' fault.
What the hell is a neolib?
Are YOU someoen who once described themselves, or was described as a 'neocon' and the only way you can deal with is to come up w/ a ridiculous, meaningless term like 'neolib'?
All they have to do to get that support is criticize the right. An unfortunate truth!
Really? But... but... FOX RULES!!! Fox spews rightwing proganda 24/7, and ANYONE who doesn't agree w/ it is immediately deemed 'extreme left' for even daring to not go along w/ it.
You need to go back and work on your talking points. They're not too convincing.

At least Schultz calls out the Dems and Pres Obama when he feels there is a need. Did you ever hear a conservative talk show host ever criticize a Republican?
- 23 votes
#5 - Sun Nov 29, 2009 10:35 AM ESTSure they have, especially when W didn't support or enforce immigration law or his deficit spending. Liddy, Limbaugh, Ingram to name a few held W's feet to the fire on this.
lol there are a million issues that Republicans in congress and Republicans across this great land refused to question - and in turn why they were voted out of office. It wasn't simply Bush and his administration that helped destroy the reputation of the Republican party. It was conservatives and Republicans throughout this country that refused to speak up.

And democrats are doing the same thing in spades and why they'll be voted out of office in droves in the midterm elections.

I have only watched the Ed Show a couple of times - the first time was when he was blaming the republicans/conservatives for murdering and hanging the census worker a few months ago. I wonder if he had a segment correcting that misinformation?

#8 - Sun Nov 29, 2009 2:26 PM ESTIt would depend on what he said, in some sense it may be correct that spreading fear and distrust of any government worker may have caused the conditions that lead to the death -- that is a predictable result of this behavior.

#9 - Sun Nov 29, 2009 2:52 PM EST3.2 whitehood, Hannity has the ratings because he's a psychopath. Please go to the sociopathic checklist website provided by Mike Rupert.

The checklist describes Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh, Palin and the rest to the tee.

#10 - Sun Nov 29, 2009 3:03 PM ESTWhat you're upset about IS that Hannity has ratings and Schultz doesn't. It is what it is and it's that simple. If you look at talk radio, does any leftie even make the top ten? Get someone in there who can do the job. The guy I really like on the left wing is Mike Malloy. The dumbest is Mark Thompson. If the left could get a grip on Malloy he might be able to provide some competition.

Ed Schultz will do ANYTHING for ratings....Nobody watches his show. He is a far Left guy who has nothing better to do than bash people with better ratings than his. Same syndrome why Air America is in the financial toilet...NO RATINGS....Nobody wants to listen to BS. It has absolutely nothing to do with psychosis. Sean Hannity psychotic???? What is that , a joke? He may be a schill for the GOP and a Conservative who hates all things Liberal, but calling him a psychotic is ridiculous.

#11 - Sun Nov 29, 2009 3:21 PM ESTEd Shultz is a unabashed socialist, who cares what he thinks. This guy wants to take 50% of what we earn to spend on his pet charity projects so he can pat himself on the back as the good guy and point the finger and the ones struggling to pay and call them bad people. Ever notice, socialist similar to sociopath? They don't care about others. They are not willing to do good works by themselves. They force others to do good works so they can feel good about themselves. They have no regard for people other it's make themselves feel better. They make themselves feel better by caring for the people they look down on as inferior.

Very few watch Ed's show, that is true. But people can know little snippets because they are played on net, news and political shows. Fox snarks at msnbc and vice versa. Just please don't be snarky- if the guy says something refute it or don't, just please don't 'well how do you know if you don't watch' it is unseemly

#17 - Mon Nov 30, 2009 6:42 AM ESTBoth of them try to destroy everyone that they don't like, don't agree with, and try to incite violence by both the left and the right. And yes I watch. Mathews is usually ok, Scarborough and Mika are good, but Ed, Rachel and Kieth are rhetoric factories!!!
Dear heart- if you need examples either you do not watch, or you are such a liberal that no number of examples would be enough. You can refer to like, every show they have ever done. Watch Maddow on MTP but as I said, no number of examples would be enough.
Ignore status.
if you need examples either you do not watch, or you are such a liberal that no number of examples would be enough.
OR doctorsteph can not provide any, which I'm sure is the case. I saw Rachel on MTP with Dick Armey, she had her fact straight, and he lied like a rug.
"When Armey said he took no responsibility "whatsoever" for the virulent protests against President Obama and compared it to MoveOn.org running an ad comparing President Bush to Hitler, Maddow pointed out that thatnever actually happened. Later she elaborated, pointing out that major conservative groups had speakers going around the country comparing Obama to Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin and asking supporters to put the fear of God in their congresspeople. When Armey said that he denounced violence, Maddow pointed out that his organization, FreedomWorks, was in a coalition whose website was promoting the violent fight at a Tampa town hall as a good thing."
