Am I the only one who can't watch "The Ed Show" because Ed seems like a

[960]

grade A Republican doing a schtick.
Sort of like a serious reverse Colbert?

1. That's why I can't listen to him. nt

[DKRC]

15. Same here

AM1090 (Seattle) loses us at noon everyday as the Big Eddie show starts.

2. He's more conservative than I am, but I don't think he's that bad.

But he has way too many conservative (Medved for example this evening) and faux journalists (anyone from Politico) on his show. He needs to have more liberal voices on his cable show.

3. That's a rural Democrat

Most I know are just like him.

[MzShellG]

4. He is too abbrasive for my taste.

Not watchable to me either.

[driver8]

5. I don't watch him, but Ed is pro-union...

that is a big plus, in my book!!

[DeepBlueC]

6. I don't want to hear from that parade of conservatives

They have a whole channel on which to bloviate. He seems to prefer playing defense. x(

[lunatica]

7. He's an ex-Republican but now he calls himself a Progressive

But I think he's just a Progressive Republican, so he's not nearly as left as we are. He's pretty practical though and uses common sense. He's also for the little people and believes in the value of the middle class. I don't watch him because I'm too far left for him, but I think he communicates well with Republicans and makes them less extreme in their views. He has his place and that's as a left leaning Republican.

8. He's not that bad.

He's just not that great.

I'd rather have Shuster back...

[global1]

9. I Like Him And Listen To Him On The Radio......

but his TV program and personna is just not doing it for me. I always flip the channels.

My vote for Ed's slot would have been Ron Reagan.

A Reagan doing a Progressive show would really make the RW'ers nutsy - even more so than they are now.

[Donnachaidh]

10. he had Neil Boortz on -- giving that fascist airtime made me tune out.

He's supposed to be progressive? WHERE?

[hfojvt]

11. can you give some examples of how he sounded Republican?

I have never seen him on TV or heard him on the radio.

[960]

12. I just mean his personality, tone of voice, attitude more than any

quote or thing he said. To me he just seems like the kind of guy who would hang out with Rush Limbaugh.

[KoKo]

13. It's the "Bells & Whistles" and distractions on his set..and the way they are

"positioning him" on MSNBC that makes me unable to watch more than 5 minutes of his show...hard as I try.

And, although I didn't listen to his radio show that much...when I did..it was far better than what MSNBC Producers have turned him into. :-(

[CAcyclist]

14. I agree - I can only take him in small doses.

Some people think Chris Matthews is a Democrat , but I disagree with that. Schultz is only a couple degrees to the left of Matthews. People that stick their fingers into the political winds to want to keep their jobs...
