House majority leader Eric Cantor declares its time to raise taxes on low-income families because they don’t pay federal income tax.
Folks, there's a Republican war on the working poor in America and Ed will prove it tonight with E.J. Dionne, a Senior Fellow at The Brookings Institution and Washington Post columnist.
House Democrats are introducing a bill that would allow low-income moms stay at home with their young children. Where does Mitt Romney stand on the legislation? Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) will join Ed for that.
Meantime, middle class Mitt strikes again, insulting (while on camera) a major Pennsylvania institution by firing some cookies. John Nichols, Washington Correspondent of The Nation, will talk about Romney’s latest out-of-touch moment.
Ted Nugent is too radical for the National Rifle Association, but not the GOP. Ed will ask MSNBC host Martin Bashir why the NRA scrubbed Nugent’s incendiary remarks from its website, but conservatives like Mitt Romney and Scott Walker don’t have the courage to condemn him.
For the first time ever, Ed agrees with the conservative Heritage Foundation. He’ll explain why during his commentary on sugar subsidies.
And President Obama sits on the bus where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. Tonight, Ed looks back at critical moment in our history.
It's going to be yet another packed @EdShow at 8pET on @msnbctv.

better than the sound of nuggies sewer mouth.
I contacted my radio station to complain about Ted.
Recommend everyone do that.
I contacted the congress to complain about the first amendment. How dare they let people who disagree with the emperor make comments in public about his performance. It's OK for Louis Farrakahn to declare that "the leadera will start dying if they don't shape up", or for Reverend Wright to make hateful statements about the crackers, and about America, but there's no way the founding fathers intended to let someone like Ted Nugent speak his mind. Surely not. Am I wrong?
Obama 2012. Anyone who thinks trikle down economics is feasible is a jerk. We did that already and paid dearly and the RICH got richer.
The first amendment doesn't cover saying you want to assassinate the president. Won't matter since the dems are going to show the righties what really happend to william wallace at the end of braveheart. We're gonna go in show how the civil war you'd love to start ended.
You know ... if the wealthy don't want to keep paying for "the war on drugs", then maybe it is time to stop robbing money from schools and giving people criminal records that keep them from getting a job.
I fail to understand how Can't-or doesn't want to tax the wealthy to avoid collapsing the public education system.
No ... wait. That's what they are going for.
The republicans want to collapse the public education system that's what they do not hide that they wish to do. To the tea party the problem with education, he reason our kids are behind is because it's run by the state. If we stop putting all these non existent regulations, remember it all goes back to deregulation, then our schools would be competitive.
But if you ask many on the left if you throw money at it we'll fix the problem.
Sadly both are wrong the curriculum has to change before we can be #1 again
crackhead did you contact msnbc about ed threatening the life of cheney?
Yikes!
I seem to be attracting GOP troll-bots.
Is Dick Cheney the sitting president of the us who its illegal to threaten to assassinate. Cheney should be dead since he should never would have gotten that heart implant. Or in prison for his illegal actions during the bush admin. You think if joe biden shot someone in the face he'd be free let alone obama.
cyn its against the law to threaten to kill anyone in america. btw i see the secret service talked to nugent and they agreed ted said nothing wrong. no charges filed. obama must be investigated for ordering his secret service to talk to nugent.
Schultz has said some pretty vile things about Repubs in the past and yeah..if its good for him to demand sponsors from being pulled because someone thinks differently then him..then he also needs to be held accountable..you wont hear that from some of his offspring who post here. It is against the law to threaten to harm or kill..that goes for anyone rightie or leftie, or some opinionated commentater..or anyone who writes threatening garbage on the internet..too bad MSNBC doesnt read their own comments from people here, wouldnt be many comments left. freedom of speech unless it causes harm to someone. If some far right or left nutjob goes out and kills someone because some commentater got his minions in an uproar over his/her political philosophies..se where i'm going? whats ed's story tonight? war on women, war on poor, war on unemployed? and why people are talking about it....what people ed??? just you nimrod.
Bill why are your here then.
28 of the 29 "most generous" states are Red States that voted for President Bush (including all 25 of the "most generous" states), while 17 of the 21 "least generous" states are Blue States that voted for Senator Kerry (including all 7 of the "least generous" states): http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/…

All the time here in Oregon!
That has been happening in my county for about 50 years.
The working poor don't make enough money to qualify for taxes ..... they cannot even make it without paying taxes! WTF is wrong with this MONSTER????????
When will people following the Rt Wing Lunacy going to wake up to the fact that they are being screwed too?
Well, if the POOR Repubs get a load of this plan, they may smarten up in a hurry, but I wouldn't want to bet my life on it.
No following the conspiracy far right ideology requires that you not follow reality
Why doesn't anyone bring up the fact that legitimate hunters do not like Nugent? He was caught in my county, Yuba, Ca. poaching. He is a pig and hopefully he'll face some real jail time this time around.
No he didn't get anything but NRA had to take down his remarks so in a way he was punish but not strong enough.
Nugent's vicious anti-Obama rants are to hide his racism against African-Americans and other minorities. His assassination threat against the president was deplorable and, in my opinion, illegal.
Some say inside every tea partier is klansman just waiting to bloom.

Proof: Ted Nugent Is A Draft Dodger. Will Hannity Keep Defending Him?
Reported by Ellen - August 26, 2007- Comments (94)
Since we've been discussing Ted Nugent lately, this seemed a good time to bring up Nugent's draft dodging. It's well known that Nugent claims to have gone to great lengths to flunk his Draft Board physical. What's not so well-known is that he got a student deferment at the same time he was touring with his rock band, putting in an average of 300 shows a year. How was he going to school and touring that much at the same time?
One of our readers sent me a copy of an extract of Nugent’s Selective Service records, obtained via a FOIA request (copy below). As you can see, Nugent received student deferments in 1967 (1-S) and 1968 (2-S). But according to the Internet Movie Data Base website, Nugent has been “performing professionally since 1958, non-stop yearly touring since 1967, averaging more than 300 shows per year '67-73.” Hmm, that would include the two years he was supposedly too wrapped up in his studies to be serving his country.
But that hasn’t stopped Nugent from insisting that if he HAD served, he would have been one big mofo soldier. As the Rutland Herald reported, Here's what Nugent said he would have done if he went to Vietnam:
The Herald also noted that Nugent’s efforts to avoid the draft make President Bush look like a war hero.
Sean Hannity went to ridiculous lengths Friday night (8/24/07) to defend Nugent's threatening rants against Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. FOX & Friends whitewashed Nugent's comments the next day. Apparently, this "patriot" can do no wrong on the "We like America" network.
I implore these Bible toting christian Republicans to read the 5th chapter of James in their Bibles!
i implore dems to remember what mother teresa said about abortion. "abortion is americas greatest sin"
Ted Nugent is the ultimate American. He stands for individual accomplishment, being the best that you can be, and reducing the size of Fedzilla. Ted is the ultimate soul pounding, constituional backing proudest black man that ever walked teh face of the earth. We need more Amercians like him!!!
Amen bro!
I love how he wiped the floor with that CNN libtard Piers Morgan:
See post above
Ted Nugent should know you can't be a public albeit washed up personality and say the things he says about the president, and he in fact has done these violent metaphors numerous times in the past is not advisable.
Perhaps Ted should stop by his local 7-11 bakery and by the president and romney apology cookies for the things he's said.
Ted - God bless you. I love the way you ingnore these little liberal morons.. Please keep telling it like it is! Love you man! Cheers
LOL
