I ask this question in all seriousness. I don't listen to Schultz that much, but lately it seems like every time I turn him on he is on some Hillary bashing binge. He is starting to sound more like Limbaugh, and his McCain attacks, everyday. Is Ed pissed because Hillary blew him off on an interview?
Is Ed Schultz Channeling Limbaugh?

MSNBC has a long history of hating the Clintons - they were the original "Hate Clinton" network long before the right wing nuts got started on it.

10. we don't need bill in the white house again...he was the best republican president we had in years...and his influence is still pushing her candidacy...which would be down the tubes if it weren't for him!
so yes bash her!!!!!!! bash hillary with all your heart and soul!!!
because MANY, too MANY Americans would pick McCain over her!!! Polls be damned!!!
Wow. More Hillary hate. You sound like the right wing nuts. Particularly, that woman who said to McCain "How do we beat the bitch?"
If Hillary wins the nomination, will you vote for McCain? He's very progressive, I hear?
It is NOT your imagination, Ed HAS been on a Hillary-bashing binge, and does sound frighteningly like Rush when doing so. I did listen to him a lot, and I was gettig increasingly upset with his unfairness and downright nastiness. He can say nothing bad about Obama, and conversely, nothing good about Clinton. The democratic field of candidates this year was excellent, and the two remaining, both Hillary and Barak are terrific choices, and Eddy would better serve his listeners to hold informative discussion rather than one-sided rants. One does have to wonder if he isn't looking at Rush's inexplicable ratings numbers and thinking that his tactis should be emulated. I think in doing so he is overlooking the fact that progressives don't want to listen to this type of rhetoric.
Anyway I am now a former listener, as of 2/19 when he cut off a caller who wanted to express her concerns about his anti-Clinton bias . Not only did he not let her speak, he bluntly stated that listeners have a choice, and you can just change the channel. And so I did. I now listen to Thom Hartman online during this time frame, his discussion is balanced as well as intelligent, and without the Big Eddy beligerence.
I agree with the majority of the comments here. He is a Clinton hater and if he thinks that continuous bashing of Hillary is going to make democrats win the 2008 election he is wrong.
I hate conspiracy theories, but his show sounds like the Limbaugh show but with Ed's face on it.
I turned him off months ago since I tuned in one day and thought it was Rush Limbaugh. He was ranting about Hillary Clinton to the degree that I thought he was going to explode. He does sound a lot like Limbaugh and you must keep in mind that at one time Ed was a solid GOPer. She has been dutifully bashed by the media and the primary logic seems to be that she is a female first and foremost. Her policies are very well thought out and offer some relief to the country where Obama has gotten a free pass from the media simply because they do not know how to attack him for fear of being called racists. The same holds true on their handling of Bush as they were afraid to be considered unpatriotic and therefore went along with the war.
