Cry Of The Loon (Silent Majority)

Ed Schultz, Fargo’s national disgrace, is hot for the story. The man who calls Hillary, Ted Kennedy, Robert Bird, and Dick Durbin heroes is hot on the trail of another far left cause. On Wednesday he joined the Cindy Sheehan nuts in Crawford, Texas. Ed is trying to portray his going there as a way of offering support for Cindy’s mission. Us folks who know Ed better than he knows himself know he is in Crawford because he wants the far left fringe that has joined Ms. Sheehan to know his is their man.

There is no wacko left wing cause Big Eddie will not support in the name of popularity except Ed’s nose for news is about as in tune as I am when I sing in the shower. Conspiracies like the Downing Street memo, Karl Rove’s CIA leak, war for oil, and now Cindy Sheehan are all stories the Loon figured would bring Bush down but within a couple weeks were no longer even talked about. Ed often talks about hunting but if his tracking skills in the outdoors are anything like his tracking of a legitimate story then he must come home without a kill.

It is his willingness to follow a story without any credibility that further embarrasses the region from which he resides. Early this week he talked about his days hosting a local radio show for North Dakota rednecks. As Ed has become more intellectually progressive (his words) we in North Dakota become more and more redneck.

Because he lets his listeners know he is broadcasting from Fargo, his show needs to be listened to by people in this area. It is the responsibility of those who want to inform that they listen to the incredible distortions Ed is championing, especially when it takes place in their own backyard. The general public of Fargo needs to be educated on the incorrect impression he is giving the country about us but instead Ed is treated like the elephant in the room that no one wants to recognize. Those in the media with pens or microphones refuse to discuss how incredibly out of touch Ed is with the city and area he broadcasts from. It should embarrass all of us that people throughout the country might think he speaks for us. The silent majority in Fargo should be asking him to leave but they haven’t been informed as to why. The opinions and judgments Ed has are better suited for San Francisco than Fargo. It is too bad those who could rally the people of this region refuse to do so.
