Can you imagine the response to Rush or Levin saying something like this to a caller?
Via Mediaite:
On his syndicated radio show, Ed Schultz absolutely tore into a caller, telling him to “get the fuck out of here” before fretting over whether the radio producers had managed to hit the delay censor button. And somehow audio of the incident flew under-the-radar for a whole week.
Laura Ingraham played the tape on her showMonday afternoon, revealing Schultz’s uncensored rant against a caller from last Tuesday afternoon’s show.
The caller had been irate, shouting at Schultz about “fascism” when the host interrupted to mock that he hopes the unidentified man does not have a stroke on-the-air. As the conversation descends, Schultz eventually ends the discussion altogether: “Is that what you want to reduce this conversation to? Well you’re a frickin’ asshole. Get the fuck out of here.”
Update: “I’m sure they hit the seven-second delay” . . . no, no they didn’t, Ed.
