1. I love Big Ed but that was a really, really stupid thing to say.

[endless october]

2. that is a fucking moronic thing to say.

i like his show, but that's just dumb.

i wouldn't cheat to give someone victory even if it meant i could have Kucinich as President. neither would anyone else who respects democracy.

20. Why do you think this guy posted it?

I wonder.

26. Chances are fair that "cheating" helped prevent WWIII in 1962

If Kennedy used the Daley machine to win Illinois then this "anti-democratic" effort saved us from war with the Soviets. Surely Nixon would have had U.S. forces invade Cuba and likely touched off a nuclear exchange.

I'm not sure that so-called "cheating" is such a bad idea when the corporations are pouring money and lies into the mix 24/7.

3. What a dumb thing to say.

I can already hear the reTHUGs chortling to themselves about how they can use those ill-advised words.

Not helpful at all, Ed.

[Ian David]

4. If I would cheat to keep Brown from winning, I wouldn't say so on national television. n/t

[Aramchek]

5. Ed has a Head like a Hole

[emilyg]

6. Dumb.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

7. Oh Eddy not cool.

You can think it, you can't say it.

[Irish_shark]

8. Agree. If Schultz ever runs for Senator and wins a close race, he will be accused of cheating

Even if he didn't cheat. Republicans will point to the time he said cheating is ok.

[Land Shark]

9. Everybody has a motive to cheat (voter or even non-voter) so Ed wins honesty points

That's why transparent elections where we all watch the process and each other are the only way to go.

[Gman]

10. Why not? There haven't been rules since the General Election in 2000

Screw it and cheat if you have to.

[Peregrine Took]

11. After the coup of 2000 when we all sat on our hands, who cares - its a joke. n/t

[nolabear]

12. No. No. No!!! He'd better take that one back.

Or he's going to be popular in a way he will not like.

[ProgressOnTheMove]

13. I understand the sentiment, but it's not the way to go only fair, free and transparent elections...

are as it should be democracy decides if it's the peoples will to go to the glory days of 1994, so be it. Still I can really understand how he feels, it is make or break time. Anything other than fair and free elections overrides the will of the people making the whole thing a scam. Two wrongs won't ever make the system right, if we didn't fight hard enough for our candidate we ultimately determine our own fate. Democracy basically means people rule one person one vote, and if on the right one "moran" one vote.

14. Dear Eddie.... You just jumped the shark.

~~shaking head~~

[athenasatanjesus]

15. Its a dumb comment sure but it's nothing,its not like he holds an office

Incidental ive always been afraid that this guy would be the one to one day say something stupid giving the right wing fuel to bash MSNBC and the media fuel to bash all liberals tho I don't believe today is the day.

[WileEcoyote]

16. Worried about giving ammunition to the Party of Limbaugh?

Just keep replaying the Haiti and Michael J. Fox comments 24/7.

What Shultz said wasn't anything compared to the Drugster.

[democracy1st]

17. calm down Ed you're fvckn up!

[davidpdx]

18. I don't want Brown to win either

But giving the other side talking points after Brown loses is just plain stupid.

[icee]

19. This is the end of Ed

[spiritual_gunfighter]

22. You wish n/t

[icee]

23. No, I don't-- I like Ed. He speaks from the heart. But I think this

will cost him dearly. Too overt.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

24. Even though you want it to be so, it wont happen n/t

[spiritual_gunfighter]

21. Who cares

Or maybe you have some info I dont, is Eddie some kind of polling employee? Does he work for Coakley's campaign? He is passionate, he says stupid things sometimes. This isnt the first time.

[lobodons]

25. Dems are crappy at this politic thing

Republicans cheat and when they get called on it turn the tables around and spew crybabies and sour grapes rhetoric. Dems on the other hand are just clueless at how to lead and/or play in the major league politics game.

Big Eddy is right. They are bastards!!!!!!!
