Free David Shuster!

[npincus]

How quickly they forget... all of the excellent investigative journalism Shuster has done particularly with regard to Valerie Plame and Plame-gate, and the WH cover-up... there are few MSM journalists who cover the stories he has and continues to.

Yes, he said something uncalled for, and APOLOGIZED- twice. Some here seem very quick to silence a voice like his (FIRE him! Tie him to the stake!); a guy who has been a faithful critic of the B*sh Admin and their many scandals. He has done GREAT work, and I hope MSNBC lets him out of his cage- soon.

Free Shuster!

1. Free Shuster!

Indeed.

[jgraz]

2. Goddammit, I just paid 100 bucks for my Shuster.

This always happens to me. :banghead:

[KAZ]

21. If that's not a DUZY, nothing is!!!

[Blue State Bandit]

3. Cut off my ear...

to spite my face!

[Blackdog4241]

4. Shuster,s Good...

He's like Jimmy Kimmel doing the news.:headbang:

[HughMoran]

5. Relax

He'll be back in a few days and all will be forgotten. Suspending him gives people time to let the wound heal.

[movonne]

7. There is always a new wound to make you forget the old ones..just

look at all the wounds the bush adm. have given us and we forget at least two a day...

[HughMoran]

17. Shuster is no Bush though

He would become personna non grata very quickly if he pulled the crap that Bush has.

Being President allows you to be a total ass if you want to and the press has to try to look past it in order to seem "unbiased".

Sucks though...

[AtomicKitten]

6. Free Shuster!

8. Did you even watch his apology? It was the good ol' "I'm sorry if you took it that way" apology

[Iceburg]

13. In other words its Chelsea's fault. /nt

[golddigger]

19. Yep, exactly how repukes apologize....n/t

[KAZ]

22. He just did another one on Tucker (Nora). It was a lot

better than this morning's bogus mea culpa sorta.

[Bucky]

9. Shuster's a good reporter. But I won't hold him to a lower standard

MSNBC goes after the Bushies and I applaud that. But all I've seen them do is fair game. I'm backing Obama, but they really do play dirty when they go after Clinton and her family.

[TexasObserver]

10. It's the best thing to happen for David's career. He'll be on The Daily Show.

He'll be on Colbert. He'll get plenty of publicity and it will mainly be good publicity, as people make fun of the Clintons and point out how shallow and debased they are.

MSNBC will bring him back, and he'll get more face time than ever.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. I Like Your Passive-Aggressive Comments In Your Profile Section

You arrogate to yourself the right to lambaste Democrats here who many of us admire and then you warn us we will be ignored if we challenge you on it...

I have seen all kinds of personalities on the net but you are sui generis...

Congrats

28. Well, now....

Anyone averaging 125 posts per day must not have a heck of a lot to do.

That, alone, would wear me out.

11. It is unfortunate. Shuster was the only one

who put forth any kind of parity on the morning show when Scarboro rants about Senator Clinton and shouts Obama Obama Obama for 3 consecutive hours.

[grasswire]

12. what happened???????

He was suspended??

And Tweety gets away with such crap?

[madfloridian]

14. Tweety acts like a fool all the time, and Shuster gets suspended.

Bet he will watch himself from now on.

[Dogmudgeon]

15. Free Potrzebie!

What, me pimp Chelsea?

--p!

16. Clinton fans are seeing everything through the prism of their candidate

Progressive icons like Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy, and Keith Olbermann went from hero to zero overnight, when they dared to blaspheme the goddess. Nothing else in the progressive agenda, nothing else the entire universe of left-leaning politics, and no other thoughts or ideas matter unless the proponent supports their candidate.

[TexasObserver]

20. More elementary. The Clintons are drama queens.

And so are some of their fanatics.

[EffieBlack]

24. You don't have to be a drama queen to take offense at someone saying you're "pimping out" your child

That was a reprehensible thing to say - Chelsea's not even my child and *I* took offense. He needed to be called on it.

And I can just imagine what people would be saying if Chelsea WASN'T out campaigning for her mother!

[TexasObserver]

26. your personal indignation is noted

I care.

[rinsd]

36. Yet another rude newbie.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

27. I didn't like what he said, either

I agree that he should have been called on it. But I do like most of what David Shuster, Michael Moore, Ted Kennedy, and Keith Olbermann have said and done during the span of their careers. I think it's possible to voice criticism over one matter such as an uncalled-for comment or an endorsement for the other candidate without completely condemning a person as a whole and calling for the end of their career. I notice the way people totally condemned Ted Kennedy for a mere endorsement or have turned off Keith Olbermann for some vague supposed sneering he does at the mention of Hillary Clinton's name. I find it curious that many Obama supporters who were strong supporters of Wes Clark in 2003 and 2004 continue to admire him greatly after his strong endorsement of Hillary Clinton and that many Clinton supporters can't forgive progressive icons for doing the same thing, but doing it in Obama's favor.

[EffieBlack]

35. I like David Shuster too, but I don't give him a pass just because he's said good things in the past

He needed to apologize and I'm glad he did.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

37. This Place Is Becoming So Depressing...

It's literally making me hateful, depressed and prone to lash out... Before I go to bed I am going to pray to God that he gives me the discipline to never post here again...

It's not worth it...

There has to be more than this...

PEACE

Brian

40. Chelsea is an adult, and Shuster apologized for his tasteless remark

[Neecy]

23. what's kind of ironic....

Is that he made the remark on yesterday's "Tucker", which maybe ten people in the entire country watch.

I just saw his apology and I thought he did well, although O'Donnell was awkward with both the handoff and when she came back on-camera.

[IndieLeft]

25. It doesn't matter... You cannot attack a Clinton. They're our new Royal Family.

[ZinZen]

29. Free Shuster! Fire Tweety!

[Evergreen Emerald]

30. Schuster is attacking Clinton non-stop. He is not a friend to democrats

[Alamom]

31. So...it would be ok with you if a journalist insinuated Obama is a pimp and

pimping out his daughters. It wouldn't be ok with me.

[nashville_brook]

33. this is the most ridiculous waste of a good journo -- and it goes to show that dems are no better

than repubs when it comes to political lynching. it's disgusting.

[Lord Helmet]

34. Free Winona.

[burythehatchet]

38. FREE MUMIA AND DAVID SHUSTER!!

[Joanie Baloney]

39. Free Simon as well!!!11!11!!

They can't get a damn thing published alone.

Sheesh!

;)
