Quote of the Day: Letter to Comcast Chairman


excerpt

"Ed Schultz’s vile rhetoric has no place in American political discourse. It is deplorable and beyond the pale.

As MSNBC’s parent company, Comcast bears the ultimate responsibility for the venom Ed Schultz spews on a regular basis. The buck must stop with you, Mr. Chairman.

I hope you agree with me and millions of patriotic conservative Americans that someone who routinely engages in such hate-filled, incendiary rhetoric should not be given a platform by a prominent corporation like Comcast.

I am calling on you to do the right thing and demand Ed Schultz’s termination.

I am also attaching an open letter I sent to MSNBC President Phil Griffin, calling on him to resign effective immediately for hiring and promoting one of the most uncivil, unhinged anchors working in television today. Mr. Griffin’s horrendous decision to endorse a vicious hate monger is blatantly negligent. As I related to Mr. Griffin, MSNBC is working on marching orders from Media Matters, and is on a mission to take Rush Limbaugh off the air. Far from being an independent journalistic enterprise, MSNBC under Mr. Griffin has become the very essence of a political lapdog of the far left.

We intend to take this message directly to the shareholders of Comcast as well. As also stated to Mr. Griffin, I doubt very much they want to have anything to do with race-baiting, hate-filled, character-assassinating misogynists."
