Ed Schultz To Ann Coulter: If O’Reilly Can Lecture You On Science ‘You’re Off The Rails’

Video
» 49 comments

Ann Coulter recently made some headlines telling Bill O’Reilly that despite conventional wisdom, exposure to radiation could actually be good for someone’s health. Ed Schultz caught the segment and suggested that the often “toxic” Coulter is “predictable,” since her argument proves she doesn’t care about science and just cares about being provocative.

Schultz claimed whenever Coulter is on television you can be sure there is “misinformation,” since although it might be possible low levels of radiation could fight disease, the type of radiation now in Japan would be harmful. At first Schultz even praised O’Reilly for being skeptical of Coulter’s theory, but such praise was short-lived. Schultz then argued O’Reilly was no scientific expert given his “tide goes in, tide goes out” theory to explain religion and managed to slam Coulter and O’Reilly in one swift statement, saying “when Bill O’Reilly is lecturing you about your shoddy science, you know you’re off the rails.”

Yet no matter who you’re rooting for in this nuclear food fight, at least everyone could find some mild amusement in the graphic of Coulter glowing green throughout the entire segment.

    You don’t go to the science museum and get handed a pamphlet on electricity. You go to the science museum, and you put your hand on a metal ball, and your hair sticks up straight…and you know science.

    Wait, so this is like an Ed Show from 2 days ago talking about an O’Reilly show from 3 days ago?

    Stop feeding us old news, Mediaite. I’m sure there are plenty of people who will say something stupid today. Just be patient.

    Hey Torchy . Don’t say ” off the rails ” if you want to Win The Future with high speed trains that very few will use .

    As a thank-you to its most famous customer, Amtrak is renaming the train station in Wilmington, Del., after stimulus “sheriff” Vice President Joseph R. Biden — after the project received $20 million in stimulus money and came in $5.7 million over the initial announced budget.

    MSNBC is really switching it up. One day they talk about Beck, the next it’s O’Reilly. The next day they might cover O’Reilly, then Beck.

    You could say the same about Schultz. The guy cant get on TV without lying or spinning left wing politcal propaganda. Take a look for yourself:

    How hard do you laugh when this Lardass, Mr ED the Talking HORSES ASS
    questions someones (anyones) intelligence?
    Just a thought! Check Coulter’s Book Sales against yours EDDIE!
    Check O’Reilly’s Viewers and Book Sales against yours EDDIE!
    Try pushing yourself away from the table EDDIE.
    Go beat up a wife or former Wife, EDDIE!!

  • Liberal Tormentor

    I couldn’t bare to watch the segment, did Sgt. Schultz actually point to anything that Ann said that was incorrect?

  • Elrod

    What is it about Republicans that they give endless money to airheads like Ann Coulter? She has has nothing but contempt for everyone – including R’s- or didn’t anyone else notice?

    She doesn’t even write books anymore- she just compiles someone else’s words and R’s buy the thing like it’s a second bible.

  • timzank

    Interesting thing is, I watched the O’Reilly segment in question. Coulter’s “source” was The New York Times. She was quoting directly from the Times in r/e the radiation theory.

    That, you liberal morons, was the irony of it, she was using your paper of record for the material.

    Well since you neo-con nitwits think that the NY Times is full of hooey, then you should think that Ann Coulter is wrong anyway due to her source, correct? I mean, you guys only agree with the source if it’s the Drudge Report, or Newsmax, right?

  • Dave Richards

    Coulter never made the statements attributed to her. She was quoting other people. What is wrong with Shultz’s comprehension?

  • Liberal Tormentor

    Hawk, it’s pretty funny that you libs aren’t smart enough to realize that Coulter was mocking you that whole segment.

    Mocking me? First off, I have no problem with Ann Coulter. I think she does what she needs to do to get her face out there. She goes on FOX and says what she’s told to say. Nuclear good, radiation good, nuclear power good, coal good, smog good….. regulation and safety measures bad.
    I still love it how you guys use the word “libs” like it’s a bad word.
    Still think the world was created in 6 days just 6,000 years ago?
    Where does the moon come from?
    Is the end near?
    Still don’t know how to use the (quote) feature on these threads?

    Uh, Ann …. radiation is helpful to some cancer patients because radiation KILLS cells. The goal is to use radiation in a controlled manner such that the targeted malignant cells are the ones primarily impacted with minimal collateral damage.

    Of course, Ann no doubt believes that since water is good for you, people should not pay attention to tsunami warnings either.

    The right wing “intellectuals” will buy anything that their leaders (Beck, Coulter, etc. – except Limbaugh who’s too lazy to hire a ghost writer) buy. Rather than read a real book, they read this crap.

    She was quoting reports from The New York Times, tell it to them.

    Does anybody else find it hysterical when Coulter makes fun of the lefties using their own ammo and they’re too stupid to even get the joke?

    Heyyyyyy, Schultz, what’s that old story about the POT & Kettle??

  • http://gordonbloyershow.com gordonbloyershow

    Schultz telling anyone about science, LOL. Coulter wrote an extensive column using back-up from science. Sgt. Ed should learn to read.
    Coulter didn’t give her “theory” she cited science. She is right and O’Reilly just shoots off his mouth before he lets others complete a sentence. In this case he had NO IDEA what Coulter was talking about.

  • http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

    I’m no fan of Schultz, who becomes part of the news too often, but he’s spot on in this case. Coulter is a crafty lunatic, crazy like a fox, who says incredibly absurd things in order to get noticed. I think that she inspired Beck in that sense. Beck had to be listening to Coultergeist in the early 2,000′s and realized, wow, if she can say stupid and bat-shit crazy things like that and get noticed, then that must be the way to get noticed by my target audience: gullible and ignorant conservative bumpkins. (God knows, there are millions and millions of them in the United States. Just look at the numbers who watch Fox and wrongly believe that they’re watching a news channel.)

    It’s not up to GBR to save you from your own idiotic beliefs. It’s pretty clear that when a bag of hammers has to lecture a box of rocks the outcome of the debate is usually a moot point. You figure it out.

    That’s why in these unsettling and uncertain times I turn to Mediaite.

    It is so comforting to know with certainty I can always count on them to cover every loony thing every MSNBC clown says about FOX.

  • felixw

    I know that O’Reilly went to Harvard. And Ann Coulter graduated cum laude from Cornell, where she founded The Cornell Review before getting her law degree at the University of Michigan, where she edited the law review. Then she clerked for the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.

    Now what branch of science did Ed study at Minnesota State University Moorhead on a sport scholarship?

    Matt Schneider:

    Hmph. “Exposure to radiation”? Really? With no adjectives whatsoever? A person is “exposed to radiation” picking up a lead pencil. Conventional wisdom indeed.

    This sentence reads remarkably like “media hysteria” which “for the past 20 years” has tried “to convince Americans that radiation at any dose is bad.”

  • Dem4Ever

    The truth drives Ed and his followers crazy!

  • WildMan

    Does this fatass ever shut up? Not sure why anyone would watch this clown in the first place. He is as phony as a $3 bill. He relys on half-truths most of the time.

    No Thanks….watching anything Big Ed says is a waste of time.

  • Steve_27

    Does anyone know how Schult’s book sales are? Or what he gets paid to speak anywhere? Just wondering.

    Remember back in grammer school, that science project where we make the bottle of soda erupt like a volcano? Thats the extent of my knowledge in the science field. But I was thinking about going to NASA and lecturing them on how to get a satelitte to Mars. Anyone want to join me?

  • WHarropson

    For MSNBC it is obligatory to TAKE DOWN Coulter. Never mind what is actually saying.

  • Bnz4350

    Ed Schultz is ignorance incarnate.  Ed’s Dad had to be a union member or union official.  Maybe Ed got hit on the head too much when he was playing football.
