Tuesday, October 18, 2005 Ed Schultz Upcoming Stint on AFR Pulled by DoD EdSchultzShowSite: The US' military's Armed Forces Radio has reversed a decision to add The Ed Schultz show to their lineup abroad, despite being told on Sept 29th that his show would be added to AFR. On his program Fri, Schultz attacked Alison Barber, an Armed Forces official, over Bush's staged conversation with US troops in Tikrit. Barber is an Assistant Sect of Defense, and she said this: Barber told producer James Holm that the Ed Shultz show would not start on AFR today because her boss, Pentagon spokesman Larry DiRita, was out of the country and couldn’t approve it. Barber also said she was going out of the country soon for a wk and a 1/2. Holm asked Barber if the show would begin when DiRita and Barber returned. Barber said she couldn’t guarantee that."Here’s the really interesting part. Barber told Holm she heard Ed announced that he would begin on AFR during his show Fri. Schultz’s show Fri began with audio outtakes of Barber sounding foolish as she rehearsed the troops “Q&A session” with Bush." Yeh, so now the troops get to hear hrs of the likes of Limbaugh, & Dr Laura... dear God... no wonder our troops are so inclined towards depression and suicide. There's nothing better I'd like to hear when putting my ass on the line in a trumped up war than a spew of Neo-Con lies from a fat-ass drug addicted Vietnam era chickenhawk and a withered up hag going on yet another one of her endless anti-gay/ anti-Muslim tirades. Nice to see that they treat our troops like mindless children who aren't allowed to hear 2 sides to a story, huh? As if they don't know better than anyone how full of shit this WH is. Good to see they're defending freedom of speech, eh? |
