Ed Who? Ignorant Air America Radio Host Guilty Of Assault?

The slob describes it on his web site - English not required:

Big Eddie opens the 3rd hour of Thursday's show with a story about how he and Wendy being verbally attacked in a bar by a right wing contributor.

But the details present a different picture. And Schultz has a history of ignorant behavior. It must suck to live in Fargo and be a failure in his chosen field - sports broadcasting. Now who does that remind you of? Maybe Schultz is miffed because he doesn't get paid regularly?

After the altercation, Schultz talked about it on both his local North Dakota talk radio show and his national show.  Apparently Schultz has given out Mr. Nagle’s phone number to his listeners, and Nagle has been receiving hordes of phone calls to the point where it is threatening his ability to serve his clients.

At one point Schultz asked Nagle why he and his family weren’t over fighting the war in Iraq, and Nagle responded by pointing out that some of his family was, in fact, in Iraq.  Or had been in Iraq.  Schultz responded to this by saying that he hates “f***ing right-wing Republicans” and threatening Nagle to the point where the restaurant security began to take notice

Nagle responded to Schultz’s threat by saying he and his group were going to leave, at which point either someone from the hotel/bar or one of Schultz’s party (Nagle isn’t clear on this) grabbed his arms and pinned them behind him as Schultz approached with a fist cocked as though he was going to throw a punch.

Before Schultz was able to throw a punch, Nagle’s fiancee stepped in and Ed’s fist grazed both her and Nagle.

Nagle’s fiancee has bruises from this encounter.

At this point things were broken up.  Nagle spoke with the bar owner, named Rick, and was told that he and his party were free to stay and that Schultz had left.  Nagle is unsure of Ed left because he was asked to or because he simply fled.

Hope the truth comes out about this altercation.

But while I was reading comments under Say Anything, who should comment but mullah cimoc. Remember him? He visited Dan once. But that is not all. The comment he made was word-for-word the same one he left here many weeks ago. It was this:

"mullah cimoc say ameriki now suffer the news blockade and not to knowing any news from iraq war.

this to keep ameriki stupid and hungry for the info. and accept the lie of usa network tv news show.

but ameriki already so punish with woman the slut and take the LBT (low back tattoo)and now to have the woman boss all amerikiman. him to be like feminize man losing both the gonad.

also, now all war correspondent him female ameriki with show breast like prostitution. this for brainwash man accept woman control all ameriki man and hillary become the president. so ashame.
mullah cimoc on September 6, 2007 at 06:03 pm"

As Phoenix once pointed out, cimoc is comic spelled backwards. But what would possess someone to go from blog to blog over time with the same comment?

"Rather shocking, is it not? Of course, this is just one side of the story,"

Indeed. I guess "Say Anything" is living up to its name, at least. I'm glad they didn't do any real investigative reporting and actually go out and get Ed's side of the story. Maybe that's just the job of left-wing blogs. Then we can have a fact-flinging ho-down of Beauchamp proportions. It'll be fun.

And, seriously, can anyone who drools over Michelle Malkin have the right to start whining about giving out people's phone numbers to their listeners? Isn't that Malkin's specialty?

It's also worth asking if any charges were filled, and how seriously law enforcement in the area took them. I know, I know. When a bar fight breaks out in North Dakota, it's usually safe to just blame the damn liberal hippies, but sometimes people like to know what actually happened before they just repost internet rumors like they were going out of style.

That might be because he already gave his side of the story. That's the only reason we know about the incident in the first place.

Whoops, blockquotes don't work here. Sorry about that.

Now, sir, stop your jolly kidding. You know that you favor the hirsute over the whiskerless in all cases.

Nah, he's just ecstatic that his lover, hero, and role model, Osama B. Laden, is still alive, and wants to give him many camel-kisses.
