2. I don't
At 2pm CST, I turn off the radio and turn on the stream to listen to Randi.

I wish 92.1 would give us Jerry Springer and Randi instead of what we've got.

3. I agree

Gawd, he's awful. I have doubts about him being 'dead center' after today. What a coup for the GOP. I wish a caller would tell him to blow it out his ass.

6. His show is a complete waste of time. Often uninformed and always
behind the curve.

13. Here is what it says:
"The Ed Schultz progressive talk show's been sold to P1 - a new group led by Randy Michaels and Stu Krane.

Democracy Radio - which calls itself an incubator for progressive programming at both the national and local levels - announced the sale today. P1 stands for "Product 1st", and the 18-month-old daily "Big Eddie" show is its first acquisition. Jones Radio Networks will continue to rep the show for ad sales."

Well, hopefully the Progressive Talk/AAR stations will get his ass off their stations.

10. I Kinda Enjoy His Show From Time To Time
It's an invaluable resource on what purple voters are thinking and he's able to reach places that might be closed to Democrats.

12. I like his show.
And I'm on the far left. Honestly, he doesn't seem that far to the right to me. I'm not sure why so many people around here dislike him.

14. His rants on Dean are what is pissing me off.
It is the circular firing squad.

Maybe he is better now. I don't know because I turned him off.

16. I think Ed is angry
Because he couldn't get Dean to come on his show for about 6 months. Which is understandable, although sometimes he comes off like he's pouting about it. I wish Dean had been on more too, we need our party leaders to speak out. I think Ed is a supporter of Dean overall, he's just feeling a little shunned lately.

I don't think Ed is actually being that hard on Dean though. I think he's right about some things though. If any Democrat was to give a speech where they said "there is no crisis in social security" and also "republicans are fascists" (both of which are true), which do you think the media will run with? I also agree that we spend too much time and effort reacting to the republicans rather than getting our own message out there.

I don't think Ed or Dean are the bad guys in this case. As usual, its the republicans and their corporate media allies that are trying to create distraction and division. They're always looking for ways to avoid talking about the crimes of the bush administration. Unfortunately, it appears to be working, as their seems to be a fair amount of infighting going on today again.

17. I heard the beginning when he was going off on Dean and I turned
him off because I'm just sick of it. I don't listen to progressive talk radio to get disheartened.

The last few days have had a lot of Dem on Dem bashing. Ed was just the last one to do it when I had reached my limit. I haven't even participated in any of the numerous threads on Dean's comments and other peoples reactions. Some of this just needs to blow over.

That does concern me that his show has been sold to a Bush guy.

We'll see.

15. I finally had to turn it off. This ragging on Dean is just bullshit.

Talk about the memo or the press conference, Eddie.

Or is that too complicated for you?

19. Springer, Malloy, Lionel, Randi
I don't know why Ed comes on at the time I am most available to listen. I wish I could listen to any of these others instead.
