Wait, this Ed Schultz guy called Michelle Bachmann a "right-wing slut", and then Sandra Fluke goes on his show? This is why I just started saying "cunt" and "twat" freely once Sarah Palin was nominated. There's no way liberals were going to restrain themselves or hold to any consistent standards.

If Herman Cain hadn't (allegedly) had some relationship with unnamed women, there'd be a whole new batch of words liberals would be using these days, like liberals had for Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice. Ah well, we'll just have to wait for Allen West. Or Bobby Jindal. Or...

This obviously mattered a great deal to you. You're so outraged on her behalf, you can't even get her name right.

That's what I love about you, Weemie. You never have to wait for the irony, or the lack of self-awareness. It's always right there in a neat little package.

You are right about one thing, though. Liberals were so willing to give Schultz a pass that he was... immediately suspended without pay from his show? Okay then, false alarm; your record of being 100% wrong about everything remains safely intact.

I might add, there's a handful of bigger problem with this whole sniffling and wiping your nose and saying, "But... but Ed Schultz said a bad word too!"

1) Two wrongs don't make a right. I'm amazed this has to be explained, but here we are.

2) Schultz's bad word isn't comparable to Limbaugh's situation. Because Limbaugh isn't in trouble for using a bad word. Limbaugh's in trouble because he delivered a three-day hateful screed against women, part of which involved the use of bad words. When called on it, he doubled down and said worse things about women. Then, only once he started losing advertisers, he apologized only for the use of bad words.

Complaining that other people don't get in trouble for using bad words is an attempt to whitewash Limbaugh's screed into, "okay, so he used a bad word. Whatever." It's incredibly dishonest, and a tacit endorsement of that hateful screed as acceptable behavior.

Michelle Bachman is a public figure, and they are fair game. But I agree the guy was wrong to use such language, and I wouldn't blame Mr. Bachman for asking the fat ass Schultz to step outside. Any lack of reaction to Schults' comment is a testament to Limbaugh's superior celebrity.

That being said, the advertiser reaction isn't partisan.

It's a symptom of all of us getting fed up with the deteriorating level of discourse.

I personable young lady is asked to testify to congress about health concerns, and is bullied by the biggest bully on the block in a rude and undeserved manner. People don't like bullies, and most people have a wife, sister or mother and wouldn't like it if they were called a slut, and a prostitute and asked to film themselves having sex by a top rated talk show host.

We've gotten to the point where if you disagree with anyone politically they are evil.

If you are pro birth control you are a slut.

If you are pro-choice you are a baby killer.

If you are a democrat you hate the US.

And it's class warfare simply to suggest that raising taxes on the wealthiest of people might be a better alternative than laying off police and teachers due to tightening budgets.

You can't just disagree with Obama, he is DESTROYING our country, simultaneously a racist of mixed race an elite, wealthy, nazi, communist, socialist and a terrorist, a secret Muslum, and devout follower of the evil Christian Rev. Wright, and a devout follower of a racist, terrorist Harvard Law professor.

Michelle Obama tries to bring light on the problem of childhood obesity and republicans claim she's trying to tell parents how to parent, she's trying to force them to conform to her evil will.

I wouldn't bet on that.

Why don't liberals hate Schultz?

He's the sort of pundit that allows the right to claim "they do it too," he's loud, obnoxious, and nothing more than a left version of Limbaugh.

The difference being: Schultz's commentary is generally factually sound.
