1. Al Sharpton?
Why the hell is that old FBI snitch on?

And those two are insufferable. Impossible to listen to, let alone look at.

I want to like this show, and I want this show to succeed, but he's losing me.

I don't WANT to hear these rightwingnuts. If I did, I'd tune in to Faux .........................

7. He's a terrific speaker, for sure........
Did you see the episode of "Boston Legal" where he walked into the courtroom and made a speech about Little Orphan Annie? A classic.

But, back in the day when I was working with the New Catholic Left and hung out with all those radical priests and nuns and lefties, it was well know that Sharpton was a snitch for the FBI, having ratted out Black Panthers and people in his community.

The Tawana Brawley - and Sharpton's never paid up the judgment that the jury referred up - case ruined lives, because of Sharpton's need for publicity, disregarding the truth. He's done a lot of harm to a lot of people, and I have no use for him. Watching him pass judgment - positive or negative - on President Obama is like asking George W. Bush to comment on the works of the Nobel prize winners in physics.

2. This was to be expected
Ed is an old Repuke himself; I tried to watch several shows and had to turn it off. More of the same RWingers talking over everyone with stupid ignorant talking points.

THERE IS NO POINT TO WATCHING SHOWS LIKE THIS

This segment with this moran Heidi and that nasty, dumb white guy, plus Sharpton, is going on forever, lots of Obama bashing.

Damn. I really wanted this one ..................

9. It's ridiculous to ask them what they think about anything the president is doing...
...they are the party of NO ~ and it's a wasted segment to bother with them.

10. Did I miss a memo? Sharpton does not look well.
I guess I haven't seen him in a couple of months but his face looks very thin. Anyone know or is it my imagination?

11. I've only seen him a couple of times lately - yes, he is very thin...
Don't know if he's sick.

12. I agree. Too many right wingers. We already KNOW what they "think" - how
about a show that focus's on us and what we are about.

13. Ed's always been a fake liberal.
He's still a registered Republican, and just adopted the "progressive" shtick to make it easier to market himself. Occasionally his real colors shine through.

16. But then, . . .
. . . when the RWingnuts call in to his radio show, he shouts them down!

Maybe this is some sort of bait and switch? He lures Neocons on to get viewers, then over time (as the audience builds), he chews 'em up? :shrug:
