Ed Schultz was filling in for Rachel Maddow last night, and brought his entire Ed Show with him. He also has on as guest Reverend Al Sharpton to discuss plans to take on Rush Limbaugh, and his alleged racist talk over publicly regulated airwaves. Yes, Sharpton announced planning meetings with the FCC to discuss in an effort to regulate Limbaugh’s inflamatory rhetoric. Shots fired! One can only imagine how Rush will respond to Mr. Sharpton later today.

We have a series of meetings going on, and we’re going to see the FCC next week. We’re not going to stand by and allow publicly regulated radio and television just go for marketing and promoting this kind of racism. Here’s a man who calls the president names, plays a record calling him the good negro that has the formal majority whip sore soon-to-be Jim Clayburn as “Driving Miss Nancy” trying to play off Driving Miss Daisy.

Rush Limbaugh has the right to see whatever he wants to say. He can’t do it on publicly regulated air waves. The FCC has the responsibility to set standards to say the public cannot be offended based on their race or gender in this country, and you federally regulated air waves that they give licenses to that are very competitive and the FCC? Is very selective based on standards.
