I don't think MSNBC should have suspended him. I am more conservative than most in this forum and I think it was wrong. I do think he should have been fired from the broadcast company that he works for with his radio program though. The reason I don't think MSNBC should have suspended him is because he didn't do it on television, it was his radio show.

Just WHERE is your outrage over them? What a load of phony, whining, BS ado about nothing!
Calling a woman a S*** is a relatively mild statement?

Well, this statement speaks volumes and is indicative why his comment doesn't bother you.

Ed should have been suspended. IMO, what he did was wrong.

Hey, I spent many a Saturday night hearing "Jane, you ignorant ****!"

Of course I can see how being called a right-wing S**T would be considered a much greater insult.

The fact a VP telling a Senator to F**K OFF doesn't bother you as well as your past defense of the vile Anne Coulter speaks volumes and is indicative of your hypocrisy. Or are you just so unfeeling you believe saying widows are "enjoying their husbands' deaths" isn't a vile, vicious statement?

Big Eddie is tough. He went over the line this time, but it won't be the last.

That said, the guy is the definition of "great American."

Most of the ones I see here proclaiming their alleged faith are the worst kind of Christians, Sunday Morning ones who have anything but a Christian attitude the remainder of the week. I'd rather deal with an atheist any day, they're more honest.

He did it while on his best professional behavior, not just a one time inadvertent slip of the tongue, he said it twice, just to make sure we all heard him loud and clear.

Gosh, eddie is the poster boy for left-wing hate and rage...nothing great about him.

I don't understand why the Left on here continues to call Ed a liar.

Why don't you all just take his words, the ones where he admitted his vileness and live with it?
