Calling a leading presidential candidate a 'stereotypical bitch' isn't really all that bad is it?
I know that context is really the enemy to you and your friends at MediaMatters, but let's put that statement back into context:
I don't want to sound like the old ball-and-chain guy, but Hillary Clinton cannot be elected president because -- am I wrong in feeling, am I the only one in America that feels this way? -- that there's something about her vocal range. There's something about her voice that just drives me -- it's not what she says, it's how she says it. She is like the stereotypical -- excuse the expression, but this is the way to -- she's the stereotypical bitch, you know what I mean? She's that stereotypical, nagging, [unintelligible], you know what I mean? And she doesn't have to be saying -- she could be saying happy things, but after four years, don't you think every man in America will go insane? Is it just me? I mean, I know this is horrible to say, but I mean it not -- I would say this if she were Condi Rice and she sounded like that. Condi Rice doesn't have that grate to her voice. You know what I need to do? I need to talk to a vocal expert, because there is a range in women's voices that experts say is just the chalk, I mean, the fingernails on the blackboard. And I don't know if she's using that range or what it is, but I've heard her in speeches where I can't take it....
I'm sorry for being such a pig. But please, America. Please. I don't think I could do it for four years. I mean, sure the country is going to go to hell in a handbasket, but could we make this about me for a second? I just don't think I could take it from her."
So, let's note the full context of the statement, the WAY it was said, and NOTE that is was done as HUMOR.
You appreciate humor, don't you? That's how all liberals love to dismiss the nasty attacks made by John Stewart or Al Franken. Beck is CLEARLY making a joke about her TONE of voice.
Now what did Schultz say, and how did he say it?
"I'd cheat to keep this bastards out. Because that's exactly what they are."
Personally the fact that he calls anyone a "bastard" doesn't bother me. Ed Schultz is unhinged, not particularly intelligent, and completely irrelevant. It says a lot when you're the "low rated show on MSNBC."
I'm also not surprised to hear a progressive left guy like that talking about cheating in an election. Correction, I'm not surprised he's thinking it, it's interesting that they're talking about it in the open now...
What do you think Chris Mathews would have to say on this subject:
“You know in the old days…if the Democrats faced this kind of a disaster in the works, you’d go back to your ones, the people you were sure are going to vote Democrat, and you’d make sure they got to the polling place,” Matthews told NBC’s Chuck Todd on Friday’s “Hardball.”
“You’d get them lunch, you’d get them a car. You’d make sure they got there, and in some cases you’d be buying people to get them,” he continued. “But I hear talking to somebody today there aren’t people up there in Massachusetts like that anymore”
