No she doesn't. The immoral part does not refer to a given woman's political beliefs, it refers to her sexual choices. I cannot believe that you are actually supporting the notion that it is proper to call political opponents sluts, but whatever.

I did and I don't agree with her, but that doesn't make her a slut.

How do you know she's not!

Many talk, the same old sh*# nothing happens to their jobs! Distinguishing one media from another is a hype that pervades our world with a negative (Faux) and (MSNBC) positive tiring adventure.

ROFL! sh*# then they would have fire him.

I don't. Why do you think it's okay to use this slur?

Great comment and I agree wholeheartedly with you.Bring Rachel and Lawrence.

Totally! :)

I love Ed Schultz. I wish he would come to Current.

Ed is one of my favorites. Just maybe if Current does get an incredible boost from Keith, you never know. I remember when Ed got his show on MSNBC, Keith had him on his show for the announcement. Ed's wife Wendy is a huge influence on Ed, before they got married he was a conservative. Wendy is a Nurse and she set him on the right path. I'll never forget I used to watch Ed doing a fishing show called fishing the west! We go back a long ways, and I love his passion. Besides that bitch is a SLUT!

Last I checked "true progressives" don't call women sluts, but it has been a while since I checked.

Last time I checked a true Progressive will even call a prick, a prick! :)

A prick sure, a dick ok. But to call a women a slut, as you know, is wrong. There is no trying to justify such language.

LOL! we all have all known Ed for years and we all recall him getting his job on MSNBC. We are all his supporters . His radio show has been around for years. Where ever he goes,I hope to hear the same support for working Americans he's always had.

I like your comment kennymotown, ROFL!!!!

Thanks brother!

So what are your thoughts on Ted Nugent and his open lack of respect and regard for women, say for instance Hillary Clinton? Would you consider Nugent a misogynist? You know something don't even bother trying to defend him. WE know exactly what you are going to say!

I don't know anything about Ted Nugent and his comments regarding Hillary or any other woman, but if he called her a slut because he disagreed with her politically than yes I would call him a misogynist a*hole and a sophomoric political debater.

As I replied before I did not know about his comments concerning Hillary but that if they were sexist, I would have no problem calling him a misogynist a*hole. The difference between us is that I believe calling women who disagree with a political position a slut is indefensible and you think it's perfectly justifiable as long as the person using the insult shares your political beliefs.

Right!

Good comment!

I don't respect commentators or any other personality that behave the way you describe.

I think this behavior and language belongs in the street.

There was no need to call her such a name, why even bring this into the debate.

Should she call his mother a whore, is that fair game also?

Do we not have any standards? I do hope so.

And if Keith Olbermann starts calling people sluts, I will turn him off also.

But you know what, I know I don't have to worry about that, because he has class.

thats a good one

I'm with you on that one. lol

I have atheist stations on my Comcast lineup--NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNBC, SCI.

The Rethugs spent Tuesday repeatedly calling Elizabeth Warren a liar--to her face.

And everyone's upset because Ed spoke the TRUTH about that media slut?

But they didn't call her a slut.

And this was my response on that story.. "What a disrespectful POS. It's classic GOP behavior"

Both are wrong. So, what? Because Republicans say and do stupid shit more often than democrats the democrat gets a pass? Not from me they dont.

If Glenn Beck had called someone on the left "a left wing slut" those giving Schultz a pass would be crucifying Beck right here in the comments.

Schultz is an intelligent man and it's sad that he lowered himself to the likes of those on the right like Beck, Hannity, and limbaugh.. I know his vocabulary is much better than theirs and slut was what he came up with?

Disrespectful. Period.

She is a cancer surviving mother and may be all kinds of things, deluded, paranoid, unintelligent, miseducated, what have you, but slut? It was the wrong word to use. He messed up. I've heard him engage in debate. This was not that. It was wrong and it's wrong when anyone does it, regardless of their political affiliation.

I agree that politics takes a thick skin to be in, but she is not a politician. I don't know where the religious part you refer to comes in.

“Oh, poor Laura Ingram...someone called her a slut. That miserable excuse of a human being slanders and libels people every damned day.”

You condemn someone of slander but slander them one whole sentence back. Here’s a thought. Don’t complain about an offense that you’re perfectly guilt of and don’t try to justify it by saying she does it all the time. Laura Ingram might be guilty of slander but now you’re guilty of slander AND being a hypocrite. Can anyone say race to the bottom?

“As for Fonda and Steinham, perhaps they should take the sticks out of their asses and stop blowing this incident out of proportion.”

And by blowing things out of proportion you mean not excusing questionable behavior from your own team. Oh hi you’re-either-with-us-or-against-us mentality.

“Anyone who knows Ed Shultz knows that he is no misogynist. ”

Ah yes the old “anyone who knows him” argument, soon to be followed by the “he has plenty of (insert group) friends and colleagues” line. The idea that Ed Shultz does not always act like a misogynist does not excuse the fact that in that instance he sure as hell WAS acting like a sexist.

“He said what he said in the heat of anger , and not even on the network that has suspended him.”

Useless point.

“The double standard that exists between what is acceptable from the left as oppossed to the right is preposterous.”

So the left should try to distinguish itself from the right because the purpose of distinguishing yourself from another group is so that you have someone to fight with and definitely not about ACTUALLY being different?

“This self flagellation from the left is exactly why the left keeps getting screwed.”

Wow I’d like to personally congratulate myself for not making any personal attacks even though I’ve really, really got that itch. Anyway if the left does not call out its own for being wrong who does that leave to score political points for calling it like it is?

“The're always willing to hold their own to a higher standard than they hold their enemies.”

Except when they are named tlbuffin apparently.

“Politics is a dirty business and applying religious standards to it is ludicrous.”

HA! The promotion of gender equality equals applying religious standards…

You got that right and I thank you!!!

But it's okay to call Elizabeth Warren a liar to her face during Congressional hearings?

Isn't that a double standard you're promoting?

Liar and slut are not the same thing. Apples and Oranges. One could make a reasonable case that Warren "lied" about her time availability before the Congressional committee. Could the case be made that Ingraham is a floozy who sleeps around?

Disagreeing with her politically is fine, but calling a woman a slut as a result of that disagreement is sophomoric at best.

I agree she should not be called misogynistic words like slut or bitch.
Her problem is not the fact that she is female, it's her lack of intellect.

Words like moron, idiot, stupid, etc would have been beter.

Or, if not her intellect, words that attack her character: Jerk, asshole, etc.

Those would be more appropriate, since they are specific and, well, accurate.

How do you surmise that I have a "double standard" because of what I stated? Did you read my post and what else I mentioned? Liar is also not as offensive as slut regardless of who it is spoken to and doesn't even have the same connotation. If he had called Elizabeth Warren a slut I would have stated the same thing, it is wrong. But then I guess I need to remember where I am now. I thought I was on a site where people could look above petty partisan political BS and be better than the other side. I guess I was wrong.

Excellent comment. I agree with everything you said and couldn't have said it better. It's good to know there are other like minded people out there that don't fall for the MSM crap. Don't people realize the time difference between Ireland and the States. What he did in Ireland happen well before the tornado. He also gave a statement the next morning after hearing about the disaster that was not covered well by the MSM. Also, he is not on vacation, he is on a diplomatic trip. Nobody knocked Bush when he spend half of his Presidency at his ranch. But when Obama goes to Europe to meet with the G8 leaders they try to claim he is on vacation.

"Why is MSNBC even involved in this issue. His radio show is not on MSNBC. He was speaking on Left Radio."

There's probably a personal conduct clause in his contract.

You're right, it should be a non-issue; however, remember who has controlling interest in MSBBC now: COMCAST--a very Christian conglomorate.

MSNBC is donateing currency to Michael Steel ? Twisted !!!! REAL SAD..

a very Christian, corporate conglomerate who overcharges for their crappy services--oh, and with absolutely NO Christian values. Comcast has the moral compass of a wind sock.

I hope you were being sarcastic while using the term "christian".Too many folk hide behind that word.You can tell a christian,the word doesn't have to be branded on your forehead.Comcast got me for $300 dollars,I tried everything,even contacted the board of public utilities to no avail.If they've done a lot of others like they did me,I can see why they're a conglomorate.Some one on here said just because you stand in a garage doesn't make you a car.This whole slut thing has probably endeared her more to her dimwitted followers.Ed's a man,he can handle all this stuff.It's not what you're called,it's what you answer to.

Howdy Gram: No, actually I was being factual; Comcast IS owned by a Christian group, or at least a group who purport to be christian. :) Have a great day.

Good day Nevergiveup: You'll get no argument from me on that one!!! Have a great day.

George? George Carlin? You're alive!!!

(brilliant post, SoCal)

Right Ed we do need you on the air.

Agreed!

LOL!

I wondered what slut meant . but now I am stuck because I suspect it is a slur on sex workers . So if I use it in a sentance my sweet wife and her mother might both be insulted . What if I accidently say the word because it is on my mind from trying to remember to not say it so I dont disturb the peace . The sex workers I know are usually desperate for drugs . Not really doing what they want . So it is like some kind of sellout distinction in the word that puts the offensive edge on the word. Right ? But that means it applies to most of the GOP . Even though it would be disturbing the peace to say the word .And so we should stand mute till we think of some other word or phrase to describe sell out. I love Ed shultz because he is consistant and trys hard to be concise while pushing back against psychotic killers who sold out to the devil for dollars not only in the back seat of a limosine but everywhere. ............After careful consideration I have decided I dont know what to say. I only know that a certain word is forbidden on the left while it is a way of life on the right . Standard handicap on today'scourse. I love you Jan for gore . Please dont be offended that I love Ed also .I promise I will ban this word because it truly is offensive and I truly do not want to hurt anyone . I dont remember ever useing it , and i think i've only heard it in negative comedy , and when people are trying to be cruel to other people .

Actually, a whore is a prostitute, a slut gives it away for free.

"Slut" means someone who is highly promiscuous; or in this particular clase, it means someone with no moral fiber.

Hey in Canada the politicians throw things at each other. You think Canadians are so polite but just watch them in Parliament. They call each other names and liars. It's quite amusing.
