Schultz/MSNBC Launch 'Get Out The Vote' Effort Against Scott Walker
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on Thursday, May 31, 2012 8:35:21 AM

[snip] If it's wrong for FNC to campaign against Obama, how about MSNBC launching a "Get Out The Vote" effort against Scott Walker in the Wisconsin recall election? Have a look at the video clip here of an MSNBC "Lean Forward" promo for Ed Schultz's show. After Schultz declares that the Wisconsin recall hinges on "who gets their people out," the screen flashes "Get Out The Vote!" Schultz seeks to recruit his viewers in the effort, the graphic asking them to "share your photos" at Schultz's Facebook page. There's no doubt who Schultz is seeking to get out the vote for--and against. The same video is filled with images of people holding signs saying "Recall Walker" and "Walker: Your Pink Slip Is Showing."

View the video here.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Liberals to show the same outrage they have against FNC.

Another double standard.

The entire left wing clown show is going to implode in the next few weeks as Walker wins, warren gets ObamaCare is tossed, jobs numbers get worse, etc.

From your lips to God's ears.

If Obamacare gets trashed by SCOTUS, what exactly did Obama achieve in his presidency? Absolutely nothing. Oh, oh, I know. He "killed" Bin Laden. That's it? He happened to be in the white house when our military killed Bin Laden. That's his achievement? Something that happened regardless of who was the president?

LOL!!! This administration, this presidency, will be remembered as the worst in USA history. Mark my words. Generations to come will laugh at us for selecting such a useless community organizer.

I seriously do not believe it will go down as the "worst" in US history.

Herbert Hoover? Previous Bush was easily worse... I don't care what any right leaning person says... GWB was by FAR worse.

How about Martin Bashir comparing the "VOTER PURGE!!!!" in Florida that put the microscope to 2,600 people, which is .02% of the total population, TO SOMETHING JOSEPH STALIN WOULD BE PROUD OF?

Florida has the temerity to call those 2,600 people and see if they are legal citizens, that they are actually alive or that they still live in the state. Yes, Martin Bashir, you fucking piece of shit....that's just like something Joesph Stalin would do during his reign of terror that ended up killing millions of his own citizens.

I'm sorry, MSNBC is worse than Fox News.

Made it up for the usual suspects who always complain about "Faux News" etc . Thought it was funny myself.

Some of the spanish news programs are going overboard with the situation in Florida. These "news" programs are implying that it's racist because something like 54% (their stats) of the "registered" voters that are being asked to prove their citizenship are hispanics. Well, what a surprise. Don't they know that most people entering this country illegaly and committing fraud are hispanics?

HOW?

Starting a completely baseless war in Iraq where we sent troops to die is the start... Spending us into oblivion by writing checks for everything under the sun.

Started a war for freedom by trampling on human rights... Patriot Act?

Squandered a Budget Surplus.

Bush exposed himself to war crime charges. By his own admission, Bush authorized interrogation practices that are illegal under U.S. and international law.

Don't get me wrong, Obama hasn't been leaps and bounds better... He's fucked up plenty, but he has not been the fuck up the Bush was.

So Obama has tripled down on the worst of Bush - but Bush is still worse?

hhhmmmm - hard to understand that.

Your statement is false.

He has spent more money than Bush, but "mostly" based on the premise that he had to spend us out of a recession (numerous economists agreed)

He did not start ANY wars where we put troops on the ground and his usage of drone strikes to cripple the enemy has been much more effective both from efficiency and cost.

He did resign the Patriot Act, which is also bad.

But if you take what Obama has done and remove ONE thing (IE, not sending us into a foot on the ground war) he has done BETTER.

What economists? Krugman? LOL.

Didnt start any wars? LOL. lybia, yemen, egypt, etc.

Use of drone strikes? Really? This tech has only been recently developed during the bush years. BTW - 80% of the casualities in Afghanistan have been in the last 3 years. Why no mention of that?

And how can you possibly forget the war on coal, obamacare, cap n trade, card check, war on boieng, war on gibson, radical appointments, keystone pipeline rejection, drilling bans, and on and on and on and on and on?

GMAFB man.

Dude... I said, we didn't put any feet on the ground... That is a 100% FACT.

Secondly, He didn't start SHIT in Egypt... WE DIDN'T DO SHIT THERE!!! THE PEOPLE DID IT ON THEIR OWN!!!

I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF PEOPLE PUTTING EGYPT ON OBAMA!!! HE DIDN'T DO A GODDAM THING IN OR FOR EGYPT!!!!

HOW MANY SOLDIERS DO WE FUCKING HAVE IN YEMEN!!!!

Yes, we have had people killed in Afghanistan, and if BUSH had done his fucking job and STAYED THERE and not RUN OFF TO IRAQ, then we wouldn't EVEN NEED TO BE THERE TODAY!!!

You need to give ME a fucking break... This is crazy talk and I get you hate Obama, but you just patently LIE about shit.

That was a projected surplus....projected before the Dot.Com/Cheap Money bubble popped. But yes, the fiscal situation was clearly better before the 2 wars and without Iraq I believe the budget could have hovered around even.

Absolutely not true on egypt. We funnelled millions of dollars to fuel the ouster of mubarack. You are dead wrong on that.

Who cares about whether we have boots on the ground or not - its still war, and those who live there consider it a war. The WAPO ran a long story that obamas actions are only helping al quaeda recruit.

Until 2006 - the budget was not nearly as out of control as it was once the demos took over the congress in 2007.

and if Iraq was so bad for the budget, and we are out of there now, why is the deficit still insane?

The Stim Bill alone spent more money in 3 years than the iraq war did in 7.

Fuck that shit... AQ is going to recruit no matter what right now... There is NEVER going to be a time when we do not have someone who hates us... That's life.

And the people that live in those areas will live their ENTIRE lives to fight their battles... That's what they do.

Where did we "funnel" this money from? We put people out in the streets rioting?

The US did ALL THAT?! Come on!

Who even gives a shit... The elections in Egypt show it's going to either be Mubaraks partner or a member of the MB... Well, I certainly would rather have Mubaraks boy than the other... end of the day, those people are fucked... but let's be clear... I don't give a fucking shit about them... not 2 fucking seconds worth.

I care about MY people here in the US... I don't give a fuck about the Nile, I care about the Mississippi.

So, back to the subject here... Obama is NOT the worst President in US history... he's fucking just as average as most of them and better than GWB.

It's not the "exact same"... Is it similar... YES... and a lot of those similarities are shit... You want to fix the country, then FORCE the republicans to run someone who's not a GODDAM RINO and actually take the fucking country back.

FORCE them to run a Ron Paul or something... instead of just giving it a pass and voting for ANYONE BUT... That's why OBAMA is there in the first place.

It sucks and I voted for Ron Paul, but most in the GOP did not. I know mittens will probably stink, but there is at least a possibility he will do the right thing. Obama failing to back Simpson Bowles told me everything i need to know about what a second term will mean if he is re-elected.
