I want to see big Eddie live in Madison April 2nd...I really do...you have the venue to speak on our behalf...we speak by our votes...
Ed covers a story like a dog covets that first bone.
The issues with the Trayvon Martin case are many and all troubling. Cover it because it shows something all American need to witness. It will brings us together not divide us. Protect the children. Demand better law enforcement. Confront the trends in legislation that serves private special interest over public interest.
Can I bring my son to your show in Madison, who watches your show almost everyday! He is 11.

I want to see Big Eddie in Madison! Keep up the good work Ed!
I want to see big Eddie in Madison on April 2, 2012.
From the Republicans there is a lot of hype about ObamaCare. The issue is the
mandate ie a penalty if you don’t have health insurance. Republicans feel the
“government” can not make citizens get health insurance. Well think about this
fact: THE “GOVERNMENT’ MAKE YOU GET CAR INSURANCE EVEN IF YOU DON’T OWN A CARSPECIFICALLY IF YOU HAVE A DRIVERS LICENSE. If your insurance lapses guess what you pay a penalty (fee). Part of your insurance premiums include “uninsured motorist” ie drivers who don’t have insurance.
Now that is a good point.
Car insurance mandates are state laws not federal. It would have been a good point if you hadn't missed the point entirely.
Terry...
The argument against what you posted is, if you don't have a car, why do you have a driver;s license? All states, as far as I know, have official state IDs which are just like a driver's license for the purpose of identification. They just can't be used to drive a car... After I wasn't able to drive any more due to medical reasons, the Sec of State allowed me to trade my license for an ID...
If you have a license, that implies you are going to drive - a taxi, a company car, a friend's car, your mother's car... Whatever you drive, whether it belongs to you or not, you still have to buy insurance...
Ed has this one all wrong. This is not about race. It is not about right or left. It is about two individuals who got into an altercation that spun out of control and resuted in a shooting death. There is nothing more obscene that politicizing such an event. Ed's guest tonight from the Huffington Post mistated the facts. Trayvon Martin did not lay for days as a "John Doe". Apparently, Martin had no ID on his person so his body was retained overnight. The following morning, Tracy Martin reported his son missing and police were sent to the Martin home at that time. Much of the evidence from the investigation has not yet been released including testimony of at least one eyewitness to the altercation. That witness says that he saw the two men wrestling on the ground with a man in a red sweater on the bottom and yelling for help. This is consistent with police testimony tha the back of Zimmerman's red sweater was damp covered with grass. Zimmerman's nose was also broken. Why the rush to judgement Ed? Why play the race or right wing cards without any substantiation whatsoever? Why not let the numberous investigations conclude before throwing gasoline on another fire. You must be more interested in your ratings than getting at the truth. This is the worst kind of yellow journalism. You seem to be pretty good at that. It hasn't done much for your ratings though......
You said to much about nothing, and you don't know what you are talking about.
The police had Trayvon's cell phone or did Zimmerman take it. Its not rocket science its plan to see he was talking to his girl friend at the time Zimmerman was stalking Trayvon. I say maybe they should resume the body and see if there is any DNA to prove what Zimmerman is saying. Or did he have someone to beat him up or did he do it to himself And so What? if he refused to obey orders to stay in his truck he should have gotten just what he deserve what he got. He was probably listening to hate radio while smoking weed. and felt like he needed to kill him a black person.
Ernestine? I think you need a nice long rest....and some English lessons. A body is "exhumed" - not "resumed". "he should have gotten just what he deserve what he got." What? You have no clue, and neither do we, what Zimmerman had been doing. Your comment "He was probably listening to hate radio while smoking weed. and felt like he needed to kill him a black person." In my opinion nobody feels like that, and you are perpetuating the black/white divide!
Your like to spin.
I want to see Big Eddie in Madison next Monday. Thank you.
I want my son to see Big Eddie in Madison next Monday. Thank you.
"I want to see Big Eddie live in Madison"
Mr. Schultz , thank you. Smart , dry , laser-focused on the facts and able to discard the nonsense with what can only be termed a verbal scalpel...a sane rational voice in a shrieking bazaar of rightwing hate and slander ...my hat is completely off to you . I am one of those chronically ill and therefore stuck at home folks and I can tell you that listening to you is one of the ways I stay sane . Plus , it's fun. If you are ever near my provincial pesthole ( ok , it is kind of lovely in the warm months ) I hope you will allow this retired cook to feed you ( and your entourage ? ) a piece of pie . It's usually pretty good. Keep up the good work please !
Will that be the tax dodging Rev Al's blueberry pie. fair share?
GOOF !!!!!!
MD...

I guess ed needs to earn that 200 grand he is being paid by the unions.
LOL
Why do you righties have a problem with Ed getting speaker fee's and not your right wing buddies?
Ed, when the Republicans talk about social security being a problem, why is it that no one mentions that if we're receiving social security, it's only because we've paid for it. I've been working since I'm 16 years old. I am 58 now and am still working full time. That means that I've been paying for my future social security benefits for 42 years. How about all those people that have paid social security, and have died before collecting any benefits. Where is that money? Why is social security such a mess? I remember not too long ago that we had a surplus in the social security account. I also remember money being taken out of the social security account. How about someone put that money back? When I voiced my concern, someone told me that I don't have to worry about this if the Republican's have their way because the cutoff will be age 55. That did not make me feel any better. That means that someone paying for this benefit for the last 39 years, in good faith, would get screwed.
Social Security is not in trouble its has over 2 Trillion in the bank. Republicans been trying to get rid SS scene it become law. Wall Street wants your money they don't want you to have it. That is why they keep raising the age limit so your can die before your can claim your money.
Social Security does not have 2 trillion in the bank. It has 2 trillion in IOU's on it's books. The system has been paying out more than it collects since 2010.
Although the Social Security system has been regularly taking in billions for decades and socking it into its Trust Fund just like a normal pension plan, Congress has just as regularly been draining the money out for current spending. All of the money collected from every American's paycheck throughout all of our careers is now gone. In its place are not stocks, bonds, real estate, and oil and gas partnership. In its place are IOUs - $2.5 Trillion dollars worth of IOUs.
Congress spent it.
Because when you put the government in charge of managing anything, it always becomes a mess. I don't know why you're surprised.
All the money has been taken out and spent. To put it back they have to get it from somewhere first.
Well, we could just borrow it from China. That seems to be how we solve all our other spending problems......
I hope Ed will spend some of the $200,000 he recieved from the unions last year localy when he is in Wisconson.
Proof? Besides what was written on Beck's chalkboard.
TeaParties R4 LittleGirls ,Apparently you haven’t obtained the simple skill of a Google search to find out this is true.
Glen Beck is a nut; I don’t listen or watch that blowhard.
go to newsbusters for detailed info on Ed and the union money.
Thanks for you'r comment.
Ed and FACTS..... an oxymoron! He's a union shill. Gooooo Gov Scott Walker! Balance your state's budget! Set an example for California......
LOL...You people kill me. Scotty boy is using the foreclosure settlement to help fill the deficit in his budget. That money is for Wisconsin homeowners who were ripped off by a morgage company. Scotty stole that money, period. If you want a gov that can fool people like you into thinking he's a great leader then knock yourself out. Hell, move to Texas, we have a gov here that has fooled morons into thinking he's balanced the state budget too, except he used 6 billion of the stimulus funds to hide his deficit. Here's a clue for you gullible people. Just about every teabagger gov has given companies 150 million in tax breaks for their states. No money coming in means you have to cut education, medicaid for kids and many other programs that help the poor, disabled and the elderly. So, people in need of those programs suffer while the 'bagger govenors give out tax breaks to their campaign contributors, then turn around and use money from the federal goverment for aid to hide their deficits. Now thats leadership...
I want to see big Eddie live in Madison.!!!
Yeah John, he's a horrible. You also have jobs there in TX...... and more and more businesses relocating to TX every day. States that don't match their expenses to revenue are going to go broke, just like the Feds. Crank up those entitlements you freeloader, and help us in the rush to insolvency.
Ok--seriously we need to know what the deal is with the tickets (or not) at the Great Dane in Madison. SOMEONE from The Ed Show, please clear this up on what the instructions are.
PLEASE.
I'm writing for my parents--who want to go, but I can't find out if it's just "show up and camp out" or you need to actually have some kind of physical ticket. Someone tell me what we need to do!
I am also wondering if Monday's recording of the The Ed Show at The Great Dane will be first come, first serve or if tickets are being distributed to a selection of those who posted on Facebook. Please clarify. Thanks!
