Ed Schultz -"NOW Is An Extremist Organization"

Why are (we) supposed to like this guy?

I would 'google' it, and examine its funding sources, if I were you.

Sorry.

:o

that had to back track on their statements about obama?

There is nothing left that would surprise me about her or her supporters.

eh...

But I think the NOW has gone over the top from time to time.

That NOW press release was over the top.

No matter what candidate one supports, saying that Ted Kennedy betrayed women is over the top.

Schultz was referring to that.

He was a right wing talk show who went left because Insanity, Bored, Limpballs, and Savaged Weiner owned that niche...

could never understand the fans he has here

At least Savaged Weiner, Insanity, Bored, and Limpballs sincerely believe the garbage they are peddling...

My point is that in this particular instance, that particular representative of NOW probably did significant damage to the image of the women's movement.

It was as inappropriate as it would have been for the NAACP to diss Ted Kennedy as being an anti-civil rights bigot if he had chosen to endorse Hillary over a black candidate.

Schultz's News and Views radio show was very similar to his WDAY Viewpoint program and quickly grew into a regional broadcast dominating the North Dakota airwaves, with additional listeners in South Dakota, western Minnesota, Montana, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. Schultz's political views leaned towards the right during the early years, and Schultz told the Los Angeles Times that he "lined up with the Republicans because they were anti-tax, and I wanted to make a lot of money...." Schultz pondered a run as a Republican for the U.S. House of Representatives against Democratic Rep. Earl Pomeroy in 1994, but decided against it after visiting with state Republican leaders. Since then, he claims to have become a Democrat in 2000, although he supported several Republican candidates in that year's election. Schultz considered running for the Democratic-NPL party nomination for governor against incumbent Republican John Hoeven in 2004, but decided to continue his career in radio.

I find his show terribly boring.

I do enjoy listening to the weiner.

the new york chapter attacks on barrack were a lie which they had to retract.

and hurts women who are fighting for equality based on our merit and not tantrums.

And Hillary is a fucking liar:

endorsement and the crap about the snub. He said instead of being an advocacy group they sound like an extremist group (something to that effect). Well, the letter to Kennedy was completely ridiculous.

They are certainly damaging their credibility.

As a woman, this crap is embarrassing me.

The quote in context was 100% true. That NOW chapter that attacked Ted Kennedy for endorsing Obama was completely unhinged. They called it the ultimate betrayal to women (all women presumably) but didn't explain just WHY it was Obama was just so awful

implied that only a woman would represent women and attacked Ted Kennedy.

He said the attack of N.Y.'s Now Chapter on Ted Kennedy was extreme ...
because Ted Kennedy had for years supported women's rights,
the ERA, and freedom of choice.

:shrug:

plus a obama guy...big ed has all the canidates spokespeople and friends on his show. if you don`t like him don`t listen but tell me where else are you going to hear all the candidates people?

One thing I really like about the Clinton campaign is how it flushes out the misogynists where we can see 'em.

Haven't been able to listen to him for months.
