Ed Schultz To Rush Limbaugh: 'Wrap Your Fat Ass In The Flag' Over Wisconsin Protests (VIDEO)
Ed Schultz To Rush Limbaugh: 'Wrap Your Fat Ass In The Flag' Over Wisconsin Protests (VIDEO)



Ed Schultz tore into Rush Limbaugh for calling the protesters fighting the anti-union bill in Wisconsin "freeloaders," telling Limbaugh that he should wrap his "fat ass" in the American flag.

Schultz made his comments during a special Saturday edition of "The Ed Show." He was reporting live from Wisconsin, with a raucous crowd of protesters cheering him on.

In a recent broadcast, Limbaugh called the union activists and protesters working against the bill--which seeks to strip public sector workers of their collective bargaining rights--"freeloaders." This incensed Schultz, who played a clip of Limbaugh before pointing to the crowd behind him.

"Did you know that all these Americans are freeloaders? Did you know that?" Schultz said. He then talked about what he called "the conservative right" in America:

"They told us on 9/11, we will never forget...that we're all Americans...they wrapped themselves in the flag... If you want to follow the Limbaugh and the Becks of the world, and you want to turn your back on firefighters, turn your back on police officers, turn your back on nurses, turn your back on brothers and sisters who have stood in solidarity to fight for the middle class in America? Is that wrapping yourself in the flag? Hey Rush: why don't you wrap your fat ass in the flag on Monday?"

1. gee whiz i sure hope jeff christie has his own cadre of nurses and police officers and firemen
because if he ever needs them in the public sector i don't think they're going to be all that helpful to him..

jeff christie = (the guy who survived on welfare and child porn while living in on a friends' couch before he broke big as rush limbaugh)

4. Like I keep saying:
Anyone who makes $400 million, and moves out of state to avoid paying high taxes, in no way shape or form gets to complain about freeloaders! :argh:

8. It was shockingly wonderful to see him say it last night and a delight to read it now
What a great "bust out laughing" moment it was.
