MSNBC Suspends Ed Schultz Over ‘Unacceptable’ Remarks

audio
» 223 comments

MSNBC has announced that Ed Schultz will be given a one week suspension without pay for “unacceptable” comments Schultz made, calling Laura Ingraham a “right wing slut,” and then, in a second comment, a “talk slut.”

The comments were not made on Schultz’s MSNBC program, The Ed Show, but on his syndicated radio show. Still, MSNBC called the host into a meeting late Wednesday and Schultz agreed to a suspension that begins after his program airing tonight:

MSNBC management met with Ed Schultz this afternoon and accepted his offer to take one week of unpaid leave for the remarks he made yesterday on his radio program. Ed will address these remarks on his show tonight, and immediately following begin his leave. Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

Here are Schultz’s complete comments from the radio show:

“And what do the Republicans thinking about? They’re not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They’re just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they’re talking about, like this right-wing slut, what’s her name?, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she’s a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama’s doing it, they’re working him over.”

    Shultz is a moron, especially after getting on Bolling. MSNBC is a joke.

  • skyfet

    This is BS.

    These jokers also need suspending: Fat slob Limbaugh, for his daily degrading of women.

    Michael Savage for calling female hosts sluts.

    Mad man Beck for his vomiting and overall madness, (well, we got him, he got fired)

    liberals have too much morals to deal fairly with these freaks.

  • GreyGoose

    Kudos to MSNBC for taking this stance. Such a thing certainly wouldn’t have been done pre-Comcast- in fact I think Keith “I HATE females” Olbermann called several people sluts.

  • TangledThorns

    MSNBC is a joke but good on them for taking action. Only problem is I bet Ed did this to gain attention.

    How is MSNBC a joke AFTER they have disciplined him? You people are idiots. What Bolling said was wrong…it was racial baiting. What Schultz said was wrong. It was sexist and just plain misogynistic. They are both morons. only difference here is you deride one and give the other a pass.

  • david r

    I’ll bet he eats a big steaming pile tonight. Can’t wait. See, there is no such thing as bad publicity. He’s going to be red hot.

  • Michéle – Ft Leavenworth KS

    Character matters, I am not a fan of Ed but if MSNBC wants to pay for his rhetoric so be it, but this was not on the cable channel, does this go against the morals clause, just curious how this impacted his night time gig?

    Laura in her own right can take it, but does it have to get into the gutter?

    Just a few thoughtsh from middle America, Ft. Leavenworth, KS.

    The accuracy issue is what tripped him up. Ingraham almost certainly isn’t a slut as the term is usually understood. She is a vicious, lying sociopath, but that’s not synonymous with “slut.”

  • struckgld

    Ed Schultz shot his own hunting dog in a fit of anger. Ask anybody in Fargo, ND where he spent years.

  • felixw

    Let’s face it, Schultz only knows how to do insults, mud-slinging, ridicule and hit pieces. If MSNBC honchos want something different, they hired the wrong guy. But they know that already. Everybody can see that MSNBC avoids substantive issues — such as the economy, unemployment, the national debt, the war fronts, the border — because each one of them is toxic to Democrats. So Ed doesn’t really have much of a choice, does he? He works for a network that specializes in personal attacks, so how can he (or any of us) figure out what constitutes “going beyond acceptable limits” for a network that ALWAYS demonizes its ideological opponents?

  • perceptorii

    LOL at the Ed Schultz “Lean Forward” ad that popped up when my browser loaded the page.

    Kudos to MSNBC for taking this stand. You DON’T attack a person for their race or gender. Tu quoques are not an excuse. But I do wish they’d do more, as this is hardly an isolated incident. Lately I’ve begun wondering if the “MS” stood for “Misogyny and Sexism”.

  • KirbbDogg2000

    iHe didn’t say this on MSNBC. And why they can’t beat Fox. This is BS. This is what’s wrong with MSNBC right here these little Knee jerk reactions. Phil Grifen is dropping the ball again. I agree with @ Skyfet. Everyone going to jump on Ed for his comments. Why don’t anyone go after Michael Savage Glen Beck and rush Limbaugh. The only thing ed did wrong was go after Eric Bolwing for the same thing Ed was doing. It does make Ed look like a hypercret.

    I’m a huge supporter of women. What I’m not is a supporter of liberalism. Feminism is what I oppose. Feminism has led women astray. I love the women’s movement — especially when walking behind it.” –Rush Limbaugh

    “Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.” –Rush Limbaugh

    “She comes to me when she wants to be fed. And after I feed her — guess what — she’s off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. She’s smart enough to know she can’t feed herself. She’s actually a very smart cat. She gets loved. She gets adoration. She gets petted. She gets fed. And she doesn’t have to do anything for it, which is why I say this cat’s taught me more about women, than anything my whole life.” –Rush Limbaugh, on his cat

    “She sounds like a screeching ex-wife.” –Rush Limbaugh, on Sen. Hillary Clinton

    Given the National Organization for Women’s membership and proclivities, it’s no wonder that people now view the NOW gang as being obsessed with only two issues: abortion rights and lesbian rights. Rush Limbaugh

    I prefer to call the most obnoxious feminists what they really are: feminazis. The term describes any female who is intolerant of any point of view that challenges militant feminism. I often use it to describe women who are obsessed with perpetuating a modern-day holocaust: abortion. Rush Limbaugh

    A feminazi is a woman to whom the most important thing in life is seeing to it that as many abortions as possible are performed. Their unspoken reasoning is quite simple. Abortion is the single greatest avenue for militant women to exercise their quest for power and advance their belief that men aren’t necessary. Nothing matter but me, says the feminazi; the is an unviable tissue mass. Feminazis have adopted abortion as a kind of sacrament for their religion/politics of alienation and bitterness.” Rush Limbaugh

    You are making the same flaccid argument the other joker attempted to do. Babe is never used in any professional environment. Babe is a very informal word used by very close people…mostly lovers or very close acquaintances. It’s use outside that purview especially in a formal environment (by a man to a woman) is sexist and women view it as so.

    No… In this case invective is key… And just because it’s Ed, (dem) you want to equate it with something someone else said (Rush, but could be any conservative), when there is no comparison… Babe and slut are miles apart no matter who said it…

I didn’t bother checking the Clinton comment by the way because you obviously lied about the Malkin. Post the link and I would love to read about how KO said he would like to murder Hillary.

    That’s the problem you are making. I am not defending Schultz. I have repudiated his comments twice already in this thread and another. What I’m rebutting is the ridiculous fallacy brought up by some troll earlier in this thread that MSNBC is a haven of misogynists, and I did that by providing a specific example of another non-MSNBC, non-liberal commentator making a sexist comment. Nobody (conservatives) are indignant about it. Arguing whether the emotive effect of both sexist comments are “similar” is a strawman. I’m saying they are both misogynistic comments. The degree is irrelevant. Thank you.

    Most of his dependant robot followers won’t even know he’s gone.

  • stoogedudes

    I got to say, he deserves this. He made an unacceptable comment and he will pay for it next week. Laura Ingraham may be a bitter partisan a lot of the time, but she has done nothing to warrant being called a slut.

    Ed will be out next week and return after that. But this won’t be the last thing he says that will get him in trouble. Ed operates from a lot of passion. Passion is good, but sometimes it can get you to say stupid stuff. I’ve said many a dumb thing in the heat of the moment, and have paid for those things.

    Say what you want about MSNBC, but they take things seriously and I’m glad they discipline their people when they do unacceptable things.

    Lying is when you say things you know aren’t true. So how are you liking Obama’s war for oil in Libya? And how do you feel about being told it would last “Days, not weeks.” two months ago? How do you like Obama blowing off the War Powers Act?

    The US gets less than 4% of it’s oil from Libya. Therefore you need to come up with something of more substance. Regarding the War Powers Act, the last time there was a declared war in this country by the Congress was World War II. So, please spare me the Bullshit.

    I was there, I saw first hand the transformation of public school teachers from the old school to the new, hip, teachers that the kids thought were cool. Never gave it much thought, because I was a kid with about zero political opinion outside of knowing the four finger lid I’d just scored for a Friday night keg wasn’t legal for some reason. Never could figure out why some kids were so in awe of these new hipster teachers who liked to sit on their stools and talk about social issues, but as the years went by afterward, I figured out that they were simply weak minded fools who need people to explain things to them, rather than figure things out for themselves.

    You’re showing your ignorance. The War Powers Act has nothing to do with “declaring war.” It states that when a president unilaterally sends our military into action (like Obama did in Libya), the president has 60 days to come to Congress for approval. It was Democrats who pushed for its original passage. The Constitution contains requires no specific language for declaring war. When Bush 43 got an Authorization to Use Military Force from Congress, for Iraq, the requirement was met, under the War Powers Act “and” the Constitution. The requirement was also met when George H.W. Bush triggered the War Powers Act with his action in the first Gulf War, and he went to Congress for approval.

    No, I think the point was that Obama “blew off” the War Powers Act, which happens to be the law of the land. If a Republican president had done that, liberals, Democrats and the media would be screaming for impeachment. I’m just pointing out the obvious double standard.

    Even I a staunch democrat agree totally with republicans and MSNBC on the suspension of Shultz….in fact he got off WAYYYYYY TO EASY……they should have fired his sorry ass….calling Ingram a slut is unacceptable….although i disagree with every take shes ever made, calling her that was crossing a line that a bomb thrower like me wouldnt even cross…..i reality i think that shultz and the professional left loons like adam green and jane hampshire do massive damage to the democrat party..they act just like the ALL OR NOTHING CONSERVATIVE NUTTCASES I DEPLORE….SHULTZ and the progressives were responsible for losing the Senate seat in Arkansas lost by Blanch Lincoln because of them going against clinton and obama and supporting her opponent in the primaries…so you republicans can have shultz…..i’ll serve him up to you on a silver platter……HERE ENJOY YA DINNER

    You have just EARNED your FIRST thumbs up from me. I greatly appreciate your stand on this matter and ASSURE you had the situation been reversed, I would have castigated a conservative for making such unacceptable remarks toward a liberal.

    To criticize another individual on issues is one thing but to behave in an unseemly manner is quite another. And, you know, maybe I’m just a sentimental old chauvinist, but every woman is someone’s daughter, mother, sister, or wife, and to make these crude remarks toward a woman is unreasonable.

    PS You can keep Schultzie, thank you just the same.

  • HartlessBeest

    I am truly amazed at all the fuss being made over the Ed Schultz comment directed at Laura Ingram when Rush Limbaugh has continually blurted out vicious attacks on his nauseating show without even once being censured..
    For example: Verbal attacks on the homeless and Vietnam Veterans. His nasty references towards ‘Femme Nazis’. On his short-lived TV show he announced there was a new ‘dog in the White House’simultaneously holding up a picture of Chelsea Clinton, who at the time was only twelve years old!! Performing gyrations of Michael J. Fox’s affliction with MS, saying something to the effect it was one of his best
    Academy performances. I could add to this, but it is far too nauseating..

    I’ve never seen the Mr Ed show, so I’m guessing you all are talking about an ass and not a horse.

    Usually I don’t bother clicking on any Mediaite links to anything having to do with MSNBC.

    But this time I was wondering who was defending this misogynistic POS — I didn’t think anyone would, but of course skyfet did and that phony royal dude. I wonder what kind of crimes or atrocities a left-leaning person would have to commit before his reliable defenders would say that he’d gone too far.

    That French creep DSK is a socialist — why aren’t you socialists not defending him? Former senator John Edwards is in trouble — why aren’t you jumping to his assistance?

    I’m a conservative but I agree with much of what you say. I don’t recall Rush calling Chelsea Clinton a “dog” but I certainly think it’s over the line. We conservatives get incensed when Sarah Palin’s family is attacked, and we shouldn’t tolerate it if Chelsea Clinton is attacked. I supported Hillary back in 2008, primarily because I was alarmed at aspects of Obama’s radical background, and I hoped she could stop him. I cheered when MSNBC suspended that Shuster moron when he made the “pimping” comment about Chelsea Clinton. Hillary has taken a lot of sexist crap from both the right AND the left, and I’ve always thought it was despicable.

    The Femi-Nazi line that Rush uses – I can’t really agree with you on that. People on the right are frequently called Nazi by the left, and sometimes from the floor of Congress. Rush is making a political point – that the feminist movement only accepts or defends women who goose step with them on certain issues, namely abortion.

    Lastly, how do you feel when Sarah Palin is attacked in a vile and sexist manner, which has occurred since 2008?

  • Tedderman

    While I certainly don’t know if what Ed said was true, I understand the sentiment. Ms Ingram is an incredibly frustrating right winger, who routinely uses her own sharp tounged words as weapons. Hurry back Ed, we’ll miss you next week. But what the heck, you’re not hurting so enjoy the time off, you deserve it.

    That’s fair and balanced a week. A conservative it would be the end of him . Fringe media your going down the tubes. Theres a lot of violent people out there we should be keeping our eyes on including Democrat Congressman Michael Capuano who wants to bloody anyone that don’t agree with him fits right in with a lot of Obama’s cohorts. He should get right along with Obama’s Philly Black panthers that want to prevent whites from voting and kill little white cracker babies. They call tea partiers racists but Obama and his ugly looking friend Andy Stern formerly of SEIU didn’t care about Kenneth Gladney almost getting killed by some purple shirted SEIU thugs as they were calling him the N word. The fringe media didn’t report the beating here it is below no one has been prosecuted.

    Could anything be more despicable than calling a twelve year old child “a dog”……….. or verbally abusing a person afflicted with MS? I simply cannot understand why Rush is allowed to continue spewing out his toxic sermons without ever being reprimanded. Sure, Ed schultz may have violated the ethics code, something that Rush Limbaugh does continually on a daily basis and gets away with it.
