When are lying, cheating, or stealing ever okay?

I'm a mom. We teach our kids to tell the truth. Sometimes they don't, but there are consequences for bad behavior. We teach our kids to be honest; we teach them not to cheat, or steal. I'm not THAT old. My kids think I'm ancient, but I'm really not. 40-something is NOT ancient. But when I was a kid, being honest meant something. A person's actions and words showed exactly who that person was. Now, unfortunately, not so much.

Meet Ed Schultz. He's a host for MSNBC, and he has a syndicated talk radio show. Never heard of him before today, because I don't watch MSNBC, and my taste runs to conservative talk radio. (Surprised? LOL) He said this on his radio show last Friday, when he was talking about the special election being held in Massachusetts tomorrow, to elect a Senator for the seat that was vacated when Senator Kennedy passed away. (By the way, it's NOT an election to find someone to fill "Teddy Kennedy's seat".)

"I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I'd try to vote 10 times," said Schultz on his Friday radio show. "I don't know if they'd let me or not, but I'd try to. Yeah, that's right. I'd cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. 'Cause that's exactly what they are."

Here's the audio:



Why is it okay for liberals to call people names, and advocate lying, cheating, and stealing? Mr. Schultz, you did advocate all three. Voting more than once to win an election would be stealing it, wouldn't you say?

I say, Ed Schultz, shame on you.

Your words and your actions have shown us your character.
