MSNBC Libtalker: I Could EASILY Out-Draw Glenn Beck!

GREEN WITH ED-VY

Libtalker Burning Up Over Rally Turnout Figure







In the insecure world of show business, there's nothing worse than the feeling of being upstaged. That's why for libtalker Ed Schultz, the thought of a cable rival pulling off a wildly successful event such as Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor rally is painful to endure.

Of course, ideological politics are heavily at play here as well, that's why Schultz sees a role for his pinky ring-wearing thug pals: with union help, we could EASILY top Beck's turnout!

Sure, Ed, give it your best shot!

We promise we won't complain about your date selection or lack of inflammatory rhetoric should you choose to take the high road.

Here's what he told radio listeners (if clip is not available, it will be shortly):





SCHULTZ (07:00): Hold it right there! Before we get to her answer, I could get every union head in this country, I could organize every progressive group in this country, the main bloggers. This could be The Ed March. Folks, 300,000 people on the heels of six months' promotion, that ain't no big shakes!

Six months' promotion, NBC News says 300,000 people. I bet I could do that! I bet I could do that with this radio show and my TV show and six months' production, six months' promotion, if I had the budget I could equal that march. I know I could!

I guarantee you, I could do more than 300,000! It ain't a big deal!


We can't wait to see what you can accomplish, Big Eddie. Get to work.

  • Union heads could probably bust enough heads to "organize" a larger turnout. With some telephone campaigns, call in some political favors, a little walking around money. It would be just like an election. But be careful who counts... Rev Sharp-Dressed-Man told O'Reilly he had 30,000 at the high school, but it was widely reported as 3,000. What a difference a zero makes.

    Don’t forget the $5.5 million for your targeted charity.
    Beck had SOWF

    Hey Olbermann has that “free health clinics” thing, you could use that as your cause!

    Raise $5.500000.10 million to win!

    Heck, even if you don’t get the $5.500000.10 million for the “free health clinics”, you will get something!

    $4,999999.99 is a good day for the “free health clinics”!

    It’s a win win!

  • The only way Ed Schultz could draw more people than Glenn Beck is if he announced to the world he was going to take a loaded 357 Magnum pistol to the Lincoln Memorial and point it at his head with one bullet in the chamber in a classic Russian Roulette gamble and a one in six chance of blowing his brains out. That's the only way in my opinion.

Doesn't Beck have several million listeners to his show on the radio and more than a few for this TV show? Based on the overwhelming success of Air American, I doubt that 300k people have ever heard of this hemorrhoid.

    As long as he calls it a Liberal rally, why not jump it to 1000,000 people. NBC I'm sure loves the idea.

I know it can't be that he claims he has some audience draw that is larger than Glenn Beck. The top three hosts on Fox, O'Rielly, Beck and Smith draw more of an audience than all the MCNBC shows put together and I've never heard of this loud mouth clown. The only unions that would support his attempt would be SEIU and we know what they are. One would have to be so far removed from reality in nhe needed to require their help.
    I'm sorry, giving this clown a stage would only encourgae his over blwon ego more that it already is.
    First get a show with some integrity whcih is beyond the scope of MSNBC. Then speak as if you are talking to Americans, not some liberal based Progressive group that wants nothing more that the ruination of the country. Then you might get a couple more people to listen to you than those poor folks that have to be in your studio every day only because they need the job.

  • Ed's statement of "I could do that" reminded me of a poignant quote that goes to human vanity and ego...and delusion. it reads, "We tend to judge ourselves on what we think we could do. Others judge us on what we've already done." See, everyone is great IN OUR OWN MIND. If we think it, in our mind we've already done it. But no one else knows it because it hasn't actually happened. Nice try, Ed.

  • Hey Ed, I would love to see you try to top Beck. But I won't even dare you to try, however, I am here to help. You are a man of the people, North Dakota was where you got your start, eastern NoDak in particular, so here goes...set up a big rally in Fargo at the Fargodome or in Grand Forks at the Alerus Center for some sort of military charity, since that is a big military area. I'm not asking you to top the 8/28 rally in terms of attnedence because you can't.

    If you could get 25,000 plus into the Fargodome... http://www.fargodome.com/inside.php

    ...or you could get 25,000 plus into the Alerus Center... http://www.aleruscenter.com/?page=home

    ...I might give you some credit. My guess is that maybe many of the people who would come out for you might be there to chase you out of town with torches & pitchforks. Give it a whirl big boy(& I know you read your own press), see what happens.

  • Holy crap, Ed! Really? You'd have to bust out the unions to get that big a following? And you think that shows your popularity?

    Feeling sorry for you, Little Man. Very sorry for you....

    Oh, and maybe you should listen to what was said at the rally? Just a suggestion - because there wasn't any political tone to it. The only ones busting any chops about a political aspect to this whole thing are the left-leaners. And that's only because they are so scared they are leaving brown stains in their little boy/girl panties!!

  • I hope ol' Ed will read this. I am a 65yo heart patient from the great Lone Star state and I challenge ol' Ed to see who can draw a bigger crowd. Me or him. 'course I know that he don't know which end spews out the most crap. Come on down to Odessa, Tex. and start floppin' your lips in person instead of holed up in a safe little room REAL Americans can't get to. I would love to see him try his barn yard tactics and hen house ways here. Come on down Ed! You know what I like about TV is at least I can cut ol' Ed off when I want to.

  • Dear Ed: The people who came to see and hear Glenn Beck have "passion" for their beliefs. You, my friend, would need a Stimulus Package to attract that many people.
