Leading up to the Iowa caucus, Ed Schultz praised GOP candidate Rick Santorum's presence on the campaign trail. This led to Ed getting angry tweets from disappointed viewers. In a video for his blog, Ed responded.
The first clip is the one that got some of the liberals upset. The second one is Ed's response.
Ed is absolutely right! Just because he had kind words for Rick Santorum doesn't mean he's making the jump to Fox News. Ed's commentary on Santorum was objective and that's one of the main traits I look for when listening to a political pundit. People on the right such as Joe Scarborough and Bill O'Reilly face the same type of derision from viewers when they have the audacity to praise someone on the other side of the political aisle and/or criticize one of their own. If these people have such a need to be told what they wanna hear, they should go talk to a mirror.

I agree with you Malcolm! We surely don't want MSNBC to become the liberal Faux Nooze, their ability to show both sides in a fair way is what makes them GOOD!
I have some FB friends who believe I should unfriend all conservatives and not allow any comments from them, thats just stupid too!
Sue: It's funny you mention MSNBC's ability to show both sides in a fair way because I'm planning on writing a post about that in the near future. I wonder how the liberals who were giving Ed shit reacted to his message.
Good call on what you said about not unfriending conservatives on FB. As long as a conservative can make their case in a respectful manner, I have no problem with them commenting on my FB page or here.
