[goodboy]

5. not yet....I'll plug DU, I promise.

[kaitykaity]

4. Okay, I'll turn it back on.

Give him hell, man. He's let the FReeptards just
walk all over him today.

:puke:

[goodboy]

6. What did he let them walk over him on?

[kaitykaity]

20. I heard ya. You did good.

:)

Oh, just the constant progression. The guy before
you debunked on of the callers, the woman who was
touting that nurse that's all over the television.

Schultz isn't strong enough I think on his criticism.
He's trying to be reasonable and it just doesn't work
with these monsters.

[prattleon]

7. Cool. n/t

[goodboy]

8. I"M NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TrustingDog]

9. kick

[wryter2000]

10. I think I'm listening to you!

I hear you. Thanks for the plug!

[wryter2000]

11. Wahooo!

You were after Chuck. I've got you now.

Thanks for the story of your mom. That's what happened with my husband, too!

[goodboy]

12. jason

[wryter2000]

21. That was so cool

This whole thing reminded me of my husband. Once we found out he didn't have much time left, the hospital put him on comfort care only. That meant turning off his IV (hydration). He still ate on his own a few times, and drank on his own a few times. But, basically, he ate and drank next to nothing for the week or so before he died.

He was conscious for most of that time, although delusional for a lot of it. But even when he was lucid, he didn't express any discomfort from hunger and thirst.

[goodboy]

23. thanks...I love doing things like that...I'll always give props to DU

[LSparkle]

13. Just heard you!!!

Thanks for the DU plug!!!!

[NMDemDist2]

14. OMG i heard ya!!

good job!

[greenbriar]

17. okay

play by play for those of us living in a red state and can't listen

[katinmn]

19. I missed it. What did you say??

:thumbsup:

[goodboy]

25. I talked briefly about social security, and terry schiavo...and plugged

DU

[wryter2000]

28. He started out with something about Social Security

But the meat of his call was about when his mother was dying. How toward the end, she stopped eating and drinking on her own and let her own body shut down. He said that her passing was very peaceful.

[LisaM]

15. Heard your plug!

Yay!

[Jersey Devil]

16. Wow! Holy Cow! Yikes!

At the risk of sounding dumb, who the hell is Ed Schultz? :shrug:

[scarletlib]

27. Syndicated by Jones Radio Network

Show out of North Dakota. He is presenting a progressive, "from the Heartland" show. Generally liberal to moderate positions. Big sportsman, gun owner with appeal to the 'average joe'

Not a bad show.

[NMDemDist2]

33. Big Eddie Rocks!

www.wegoted.com

[southlandshari]

42. Thanks for the link.

I hate to admit I hadn't heard of him before, but checked out his website and I am intrigued! I'm planning to tune in, starting tomorrow. Being from Alabama, I am especially excited about people who can speak truth to moderate Republicans or conservatives on the fence. He sounds like that kind of guy!

There is an AM station about 40 miles from my town that I should be able to pick up in the car (which is where most of my working hours are spent!).

[NMDemDist2]

43. perfect! he is also on the afternoon lineup on the XM "left" channel n/t

[southlandshari]

44. And when I'm in the office

I will tune the radio at my desk to Schultz on AM; if the station isn't clear inside (old building, cinderblock walls), I'll try the weblink. Either way, I'm thrilled to have something to drown out the Limbaugh show emanating from the radio on the desk about five feet from mine!

[goodboy]

18. I did my best

[Jr_Samples]

22. Awesome man

I heard you - super job. And cool plug. Yowza!

I'm loving the radio these days.

[goodboy]

24. Thanks! I'll try harder to get on the radio and keep plugging away.

[greenbriar]

26. but give us a summary

now

[wryter2000]

29. See my post 28 eom

eom

[ultraist]

30. LOL! Yes, summary please! Great work.

[goodboy]

31. I said, I'm 26 years old and I wanna tell the republicans especially

debbie pryce to keep their dirty grubby greedy hands off my social security...and them I talked about how terry schiavo will pass away peacefully...then Ed turned my mic off, and hung up. that's how these shows work mostly.

[jean]

32. bravo on getting the DU plug in - Ed seems not to like letting website

or book plugs get in very often

[goodboy]

36. so you heard it then did you?

[jean]

41. I did not hear your call - had turned the radio off before you came on...

but still offer congrats, based on what you and our DU-er's who did hear you have said!

[Generic Guy]

34. I heard you.

You really did a great job.

[goodboy]

35. thanks guy....

[Generic Guy]

40. Firts time I had ever heard Ed Shultz

I'm usually at work or in class when he comes on here. I took a day off today and actually got to hear some good progressive radio for once. SO I was actually proud to hear DU mentioned on the radio even though I am fairly new here, this place feels like a huge family.

[Mr_Spock]

37. I heard you - you did give us a plug - you blogger you !!!!

I always listen to Ed.

[goodboy]

38. awesome....I'm glad you all heard it.

[blondeatlast]

39. A DUer was on yesterday too--anyone want to 'fess up?

It was a nice, concise little statement, and Ed really bit into it.

Whoever was on yesterday, good work!

Sorry, goodboy, I didn't get the opportunity to listen today, but good on ya!
