‘Go to Hell’: Ed Schultz Calls Into Local Radio Program and Bashes Host

If you want to understand the clip you’re about to hear, it’s best described as an argument between two liberals about who is a true liberal.
Now, that’s the oversimplified version. The details go something like this. Local liberal radio host (in Colorado) David Sirota slammed Schultz for accusing Michael Moore of “liberal hand-wringing.” Schultz was upset at Moore’s comments criticizing the president for killing Osama bin Laden. Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher explains more:
Schultz then denounced Moore’s “hand-wringing” on The Ed Show, quite effectively arguing that this is what we (liberals) elected President Obama to do, that he has been promising to do this very thing for almost four years, now.
It is important to note that neither Ed, nor I, ever suggested that Moore, or anyone else, should not question the government. That’s important, because that was the accusation that Keith Olbermann made of Schultz, obliquely calling him a “supposedly liberal commentator on a supposedly liberal network.”
It’s an attack that Sirota picked up, falsely accusing Schultz of “screaming at other people not to ask questions of their government.”
He then plays an out-of-context quote of Schultz saying, “The fact of the matter is, the intellectual liberal hand-wringing needs to stop in this country.”
Schultz’s statement was made in the context of demonstrating that Michael Moore’s statements were based on a complete ignorance of the facts. The problem wasn’t Moore’s questions, but rather, the answers he pulled out of his [a**]. Bin Laden wasn’t “executed” or “denied a trial,” he was killed in a military operation that offered almost no chance of capturing him safely.
Here’s the clip, which is quite entertaining as it includes Schultz telling Sirota to “go to hell” and reminding him that Schultz‘s show is national and Sirota’s is not. Additionally, it ends with Sirota muting Schultz and Schultz hanging up on Sirot. And although it may not happen a lot, there are times where Schultz makes a lot of sense:

Posted on May 23, 2011 at 11:44amLiberalism in America is nothing more than a hodge podge collection of incompatible ideologies pulled together under one name, “The Democratic Party”. Their only commonality is that they are hell bent on fulfilling their own small agenda regardless of how much damage it does to the rest of the nation.
Now that the economic situation has come to push and shove for the dollars, you will see more and more infighting between the liberal factions.

Posted on May 23, 2011 at 11:44amMost Progressive Liberals are near crimminals as far as I’m concerned. They are intellectually dishonest, think with their heart and not their heads if they think at all. Why anyone watches or listens to either of these morons is beyond logic! Obama is one of the worst crooks to ever become president! He couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it!

Schults got a taste of his own medicine when he was asked a ridged question born from information taken out of context and then was talked over by the show host, who then decided his voice and opinions was what his listeners wanted and put Schultz on mute. I’m sure some of Sirotas listeners wanted to hear what Schultz had to say and changed channels Say to themselves Sirotas is such an idiot.
