I used to watch him on MSNBC and I really thought he was a liberal, especially when covering the protests against Walker. I have no respect for a person who has no principles.

Why would we not as Democrats embrace pro-worker and pro-union positions? Why would we not embrace the role of the 'worker's party?'

Why this survey? Did Ed commit some gaffe?

Also, not all "pro-worker" positions are necessarily REALLY pro-worker.

Also, he's completely dropped his criticisms of Putin and Russia now that he is on RT.

Fuck 'em.

Both were conservatives who went left in search of a pay raise. Both slam mainstream Democrats. The constant is they were both always on the opposite of the Democratic party. Interesting.

And is back being a conservative — again.

He was before but allegedly saw the light and became a liberal and was on MSNBC. When they didn't re-sign him he went where the money was and is now a conservative on RT and is speaking at CPAC.

Good riddance. We don't need phonies looking for a paycheck masquerading as liberals.

Let's face it, most radio hosts, regardless of their politics, got the gig for their radio voice and not because of how smart they are. I agree with Randi Rhodes a lot of the time but if you listen very long you realize that rocket science is not in her future. I'm not generally looking to disc jockeys for guidance.

I know he's gone to RT after Comcast fired him from MSNBC, and I'm very sad. I think he needs $, but I still feel positively about him for bringing his show to Madison to shine a light on what Walker did to our State. I'm sorry we lost him.

BTW, What happened in Wisconsin is what Trump is doing to the entire country right now. A dry run, if you will, and no one seemed to give a shit.

I vaguely recall him being super pro-union etc when he was on Air America, but apparently he just changed back to being a conservative pundit.
