Do you like Ed Shultz? Yes or no?

[JuniperLea]

Poll question: Do you like Ed Shultz? Yes or no?

[BuyingThyme]

1. Don't care for him or the show, but LOVE the fact he's doing it.

[nolabels]

8. This is a choice? getting cooked on a frying pan or open flame........

I pass but then there also i am learning how to control my madness of being my own worst enemy too :D

[Taverner]

2. I don't like him but I admire his work

He "sells" the Democratic party to the independents.

And he does a good job of it.

[KittyWampus]

3. Take him or leave him. Appreciate his approach as it reaches others

[bahrbearian]

4. Why did you start this poll?

There's about 5 people here who slam him... but probably NEVER listen to him!

[JuniperLea]

14. I started it precisely because of that talking point you just spewed

Got me thinking...

I keep seeing it, and being one who listens all the time but still hates him, I figured there just might be more like me out there.

[bahrbearian]

19. That talking point wasn't spewed, it was a "cut and paste"

I can't stand the way he sells himself as the leading Progressive on Talk radio. He doesn't research a thing. he just comes to those opinions after his call-ins straighted him out.

[JuniperLea]

23. heh!

couldn't agree more. he's just after the numbers, brownie points, arbitron rating, etc.

[k_jerome]

5. is he on XM? nt.

[UnyieldingHierophant]

22. Sirius*

[Duer 157099]

6. Need another option

I listen to him sometimes, but have no qualms about turning off the radio when he gets annoying.

[hlthe2b]

11. ditto....

I understand his appeal in the Upper Mountain West and that's certainly not a bad thing.... I often cringe, though, at his positions.... Very DLC.... Other times, he comes across as a very level-headed guy, so :shrug:

[JuniperLea]

15. Very DLC! Bingo! n/t

[tularetom]

7. I think he's pretty good - he started out defending Loserman

but backed off when he saw the asshole's true colors.

[JuniperLea]

16. Or was it when he found out his opinion wasn't popular among Dems?

Uh huh! I wonder...

[helderheid]

9. HATE him.

[liberalnurse]

10. He is the leading

talking head for Democrats. He has the magnet to get the Beltway interviews and the respect from them................They all listen to Ed Schultz. He has the formula.

I adore him myself! O8)

[jefferson_dem]

12. I would love to like him more than i do. Sad to say, he sounds like a moderate-liberal version

of Bill'O to me <duck>. Ed tries too hard to project an "i'm looking out for the common guy" image but just comes across as an anti-intellectual blowhard.

[Kerrytravelers]

13. He's ok. I agree sometimes, other times I disagree.

unlike the rethugs, we're not cookie-cutters. He appeals to some and not others. Even though I don't always agree, I like hearing how he thinks, it allows me to understand other thought processes.

[AwareOne]

17. I find his act revolting

he is carnival barker who could just as easily switch to selling Republican or used cars or vacuums. I think its and act and that he is not sincere.

[JuniperLea]

20. I wonder about that too

His show is so old school formulaic. Unlike Randi Rhodes, he leaves me wondering if he truly believes with his heart what he is saying or if he thinks it's the opinion that will win him the most Arbitron points.

[Arugula Latte]

18. I want to love him, but I hate him.

:(

[me b zola]

21. Can't stand him

I believe that he is a Rahm invention.

[LittleClarkie]

24. I found his insight re Hillary to be interesting today

He said that when he's met her, she's been personable. But her staff is arrogant, and downright rude at times.

That sounds about right. I've seen their arrogance.
