Edwards: "They're out to get me!" |
2007-08-01 |
Radio Equalizer Why has John Edwards suddenly become so paranoid? First, at an Iowa campaign stop, the Democrat presidential contender railed against people "who want to shut me up." Video at the link. Now, in a Tuesday interview with liberal talk show host Ed Schultz, Edwards has expressed surprise that these dark, yet still unnamed, forces have so far failed to shut down "progressive" talk radio: ![]() EDWARDS: “We have to fight back against these people. We can’t let them do this kind of stuff to us. And they’re always going to be very powerful forces that don’t want us to hear my voice, and the voices of those like not just me, the voices of those like us. They want to shut all of us up, Ed. That’s what this is all about. I’m amazed you’re still able to talk on the radio. They don’t want to hear this stuff. And what we have to make clear is we’re gonna stand up and fight and we together, all of us, we will not be silenced.” Hey Johnny: who exactly are these people? Care to name them? And how do they plan to shut down liberal talk show hosts such as Ed Schultz? "They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action." That's quite a contention, some evidence to back it up would be grand. |

#15 You're not paranoid, Johnnie, people really do want you to shut up and go away. |

#10 I would think the strain of public life would be the last thing that poor woman needs heaped on top of all her other problems. |

#9 How's your wife's health, Senator? Oughtn't you be helping her fight the cancer instead of peddling cheesy conspiracy theories? |

#5 Edwards said : the voices of those like us. john, your voting population has been constant and disproportionaly represented for half a century, trough feeders are who they are, they'll say what you'll say, and thier persistance is noteworthy, but not alarming......because we have you surrounded and we are the non voting majority....waiting for our turn. |

#2 ....Y'know, the temptation at this point to sneak up behind this guy and whisper, "Vince Foster" just to see his reaction is kinda overwhelming. Mike |

#1 No, Johnny... they're not out to shut you up. They just don't give a damn about what a scummy ambulance-chasing lawyer with a nice bespoke suit and a $400 haircut has to say. Now, go away and play, and stop bothering the grownups. |
