Ed Schultz: Maybe America Killed Bhutto

The Whistler  •  January 3, 2008

Sure, why not:

SCHULTZ: You can make the case that both al Qaeda and Musharraf would benefit from Benazir Bhutto being offed. You can make the case that the United States, the war hawks in the United States, benefited from her being offed because they’ve never seen a war they didn’t love and this is a chance for more intervention.

The Fargo-based madman really outdid himself with that one. I mean, there’s absolutely no evidence that Bhutto was offed by an American operative. Nothing. Not a shred. But Schultz will go ahead and make that accusation anyway, because that’s the sort of thing the Democrats pay him to do.
You do know that it was a coalition of Democrat politicians and operatives that funded Eddie’s show, right? He claims to be objective, but he knows where his bread is buttered.
Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest of the right-wing talk brigades may be partisan, but at least they’re not paid off to accuse their political enemies of murder.

    Silencer,

    I can appreciate your distrust for government, especially given the antics of the liberal democrats and some republicans as well. But really, without any hard evidence all you have is hair-brained far left speculation that does nothing to establish credibility and makes you look like kooks.

    I mean, there’s absolutely no evidence that Schultz said Bhutto was offed by an American operative.

    Please point to the words he used to say “that Bhutto was offed by an American operative”

    Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest of the right-wing talk brigades may be partisan, but at least they’re not paid off to accuse their political enemies of murder.

    I used to be young and stupid and actually voted for democrats.

    If a man is 18 and not a liberal, he has no heart.
    If a man is 30 and not a conservative, he has no brain!

    He actually had a small regional show here before he got picked up, but in my opinion it was nothing to brag about. A couple times I heard him it was pretty boring apolitical stuff. I didn’t even listen enough to realize that he had dropped being a conservative.

    Really the guy couldn’t do a decent job at calling a football game. I was going to complain to the station manager about it but found out he had converted to liberalism. I dropped it since I figured the station manager knowing my views would figure it was political.

    Sounds like Ed is angling for a position in Ron Paul’s cabinet!

  • silencer

    Not a shred of evidence? Really? What about the 10 Billion that America sent to the Pakistani dictator after he overthrew the elected democratic government? You think America wanted to lose its investment in the January election? She had to die so America could maintain its interests in Pakistan.

    He could not successfully jerk-off in a closet with the latest issue of Playboy.

    Oh, yeah? Then maybe you can explain how he became the largest talk radio show in the upper midwest BEFORE he became the largest progressive talk radio show in America. No amount of Democratic money could have made that happen. And unlike the Big Junkie Rash Limbo and the rest of his little turds like Hannity he forgot to flush down the can after he gave birth to them in a drug-induced haze, Ed doesn’t screen his calls. He allows anyone to talk, whereas the Junkie makes sure he only gets rabid rightwing nuts who agree with him.

    Sureshot: Conservatives are not saints, they are just thinking men and women that think for themselves and are not emotionally driven. We all know about Rush, but most of us like and respect him despite his not being a candidate for Pope.

    They don’t have to be paid off; they are nuts all by themselves. Was it not folks like Hannity and Limbaugh who made the absurd claim that the Clinton Adm. was responsible for the death of Vince Foster.

    BTW I agree that this Schultz guy is all wet if he believes the US was responsible for Bhutto’s death. There are nuts on both sides.

    The U.S. was supporting another corrupt foreign leader because she promised to open her border to American troupes searching for and pursuing Al Qaida. Whether of not she would actually do that will remain to be seen.

    On the other hand, since bombing Iran is pretty much off of the table, why not destabilize Pakistan? They do have WMD that could fall into the hands of Al Qaida assuming that Al Qaida could develop the knowledge to be able to deliver them. Now that Iraq seems to be winding down, this is a new opportunity to keep on making money and no one would ever believe that the U.S. did it. It’s just a little more dangerous.

    “And you know this from personal experience?”

    Yes, Socialist, I do.

    I used to be young and stupid and actually voted for democrats. Which by the way, most of them were socialist and many still are.

    silencer… Bless your heart, you are seriously deranged.

    Socialist,

    You’re in the wrong country. As an enemy of liberty you ought to feel right at home somewhere like Cuba. I’m sure there are a few conservative neighbors who would gladly help you pack.

    But really, without any hard evidence all you have is hair-brained far left speculation that does nothing to establish credibility and makes you look like kooks.

    What we have is really only right-wing hair-brained speculation that Shultz said the US killed Bhutto. He merely said we could benefit from it. That is not the same as saying we killed her, nor is it implied. You bought on to somebody else’s spin, without thinking for yourselves.

  • Hannitized

    Imagine a scenario where the 49ERS are trying to get into the playoffs by being the NFC West division champs, but they won’t ulness they win, the next team in line for the conference title is the Seattle Seahawks. In the last game the 49ers are playing Greenbay.

    Now, here is the question:

    Does the Seattle Seahawks benefit if the GreenBay packers beat the 49ers? Yes, does this mean that Seattle sabotaged the 49ers if they lost? No. The same goes for Shultz.

    Socialist: I completely understand that, from your point of view, individual independence and prosperity are “demonic”. As individuals have more power, the State has less.

    You think America wanted to lose its investment in the January election?

    Are you Hillary?
    lol
    Musharraf was ALREADY elected in October.

    Oh you libs are so smart and sophisticated in your world knowledge.

  • http://www.neofascist.org/ Socialist

    That’s about the biggest leap I have ever seen a noncon take – going from “making the case” that certain parties benefited from Bhutto’s death to accusing America of killing her. But when you have nothing other than crap to spew, then it’s crap that will indeed be spewed.

    The case can also be made that the Republican fascists benefited from 9/11, in which they absolutely did. 9/11 was the best thing to ever happen to the Republican party. It gave them fascist power they have never had. Saying they benefited from it doesn’t mean they were behind it, but in the noncon world of spin and propaganda, I guess it does mean that they were behind it.

    Whacking off to Hillary campaign ads, drinking your own piss, and smoking pot all day long to celebrate another day of abject stupidity will lead you to vote for a democrat.

    And you know this from personal experience?

    Actually, I mostly agree with conservatives on Hillary. I can’t stand the phony, pandering, corporate bootlicking whore. I am in no way a Democrat. I am a Socialist, and the only candidate worth voting for is Kucinich. I will however vote for anyone other than a Republican. Republicans are satan worshipping demons.

    What an idiot.

    Ed is a gigantic dip-wad.

    I must admit that I sometimes listen to him during the week.

    A chuckle a minute.

    He was brought forth to radio listeners as the great counter to Limbaugh for those of the liberal persuasion.

    He could not successfully jerk-off in a closet with the latest issue of Playboy. He raises nothing to a higher level except his own stupidity.

  • Tuna

    Some obscure nitwit (a euphemism for liberal talk show host) says America benifited from the killing of a corrupt Pakastani political aspirant (I know she was a crook because Hillary said she has a lot in common with the late Ms. Bhutto), and what do the usual suspects say in defense of their hack, why they attack Rush Limbaugh.

    Mr. Shultz’ 15 minutes of fame is obscured by an endless stream of vacuous disparagements of the most successful (I mean, if Shultz were to get hooked on prescription drugs, who’d care?)political talk show host on the planet. Priceless.

  • Eneils Bailey

    I see we have a Big Ed devotee here.

    Socialist,
    Have you tried pulling your head out of your ass lately, and breathing fresh air?

    Whacking off to Hillary campaign ads, drinking your own piss, and smoking pot all day long to celebrate another day of abject stupidity will lead you to vote for a democrat.

  • dannyboy

    Nowhere in the quotation you provide does Shultz say that the US killed Bhutto. He said that the US stands to benefit. Do they not include reading comprehension in the North Dakota public school system? Or are you one of those home-schooled kids whose family tree doesn’t branch?

    Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest of the right-wing talk brigades may be partisan, but at least they’re not paid off to accuse their political enemies of murder.

    Yes, that’s Richard Mellon Scaife’s job.

  • FlyOnTheWall

    COLMES: That’s what I was getting at, that we were pushing democracy by way of Bhutto, thinking that if she could get in there — we were kind of, it seemed, trying to engineer these upcoming elections so she could become prime minister

    So Colmes said our SUPPORT of Bhutto killed her and Schultz said she was our enemy so we offed her. I’m thinking we (US) can do no good. DailyKOS is all about how we’re supporting the dictator and complicit in killing her. Eventually, the US haters will get their stories together. I’m betting on ‘Bush killed Bhutto to help Musharraf, the dictator, who is also an AQ ally.’

  • Hannitized

    But until the entire sentence is put into context, by inculding any previous dialogue, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that says he thinks the US would kill her, only that they would benefit from it. This idea that he did say the US killed her is going out on a limb here.

  • Hannitized

    Really, not even about Vince Foster? Or how about the Fort Worth Church shootings??

    Here is another example of how Limbaugh works this kind of thing which I wrote down as he spoke.

    “So now we have this shooting in a church in Fort Worth! Mighty suspicious that during all this gun legislation that suddenly we have another case of this kind. Mighty suspicious. Liberals will do anything, they have no moral or ethical boundaries, they could easily direct a situation like this to help their political ends. That’s what the DNC is like. I wouldn’t put this past them. This is mighty suspicious.”- fatpig Limbaugh

  • robert108

    The US doesn’t “stand to benefit” from unrest in Pakistan, no matter what this deranged leftie is trying to sell. We want stability.

  • robert108

    Socialist: I thought you might get behind Hillary(pun intended) for her statement: “I want to take those profits, and use them for the common good.” Pure Marxism.
