Ed Schultz Fires Back At Glenn Beck’s “Demo” Comments
Earlier today, Ed Schultz continued his epic battle of words against Glenn Beck. Schultz had previously claimed that he could easily get his own rally with 300,000 people and Beck had responded that might want to try and get 300,000 viewers in the demo first. Today, Schultz countered that Beck can’t get that many in the demo either since all of his fans are way too old.
While showing footage of Beck’s Restoring Honor rally, Schultz had this to say:
“Let me explain to my viewers what it means by ‘the demo.’ He’s talking about the great people who watch my show between the ages of 25 and 54. Now, Beckster, let’s take a closer look at your crowd of nutjobs. You know, I don’t see too many of the demo. You know, I’ll say it again, they’re old, white, angry, McCain/Palin leftovers.”
Schultz then brought on the Huffington Post’s Roy Sekoff and the two had a good time making fun of Beck’s claims that a flying gaggle of geese over the rally was important and symbolic. However, amidst all the fun, Sekoff pointed out that it probably wasn’t a good idea for Schultz to “denigrate” Beck’s fans. Sekoff was probably right on that point but, with as much fun (and coverage) as Schultz is getting out of this fight, chances are he’s not going to stop any time soon.
Or at least until Beck stops responding.
Note: Whether or not Schultz was right about the demographic at Beck’s rally, it’s probably worth noting that Beck does fine in the main demo when it comes to TV viewers.
