The gop is trying to repackage to the american people? it sounds like a lot of the same stuff. >> well, ed, let me start by being as charitable as i can possibly be. the old proverb a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. this is one very small step. it was a speech that had a lot of nice words. but youre absolutely right in that it said nothing about the policies that the republican party espouses and continues to espouse that are ejected by large majorities of the american people. ...

Were losing the moral high ground by doing this. and even more troubling, there are people in washington who are ominously silent and not questioning this process and willing to stand behind the legal opinion of the justice department. this is president obamas legacy right now. it is dangerous. reaction to the memo. lets turn to joan walsh tonight. joan, your thoughts on this. >> ed, i think you pointed to the section of the memo that really is the most troubling, that this idea of imminent dang...

I do believe what we saw in ohio in 2004 and what we saw last november in florida are examples of not meeting these standards. i do suspect that the people running those states at those times were not interested in making it fairly easy for a legitimate voter to get to the booth. consistent with the constitution, the federal government should do what it can to make voting a right, not an obstacle course. and thats "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us. "the ed show" with ed schultz starts...

0 >> using the crisis of this oil spill to try to promote his energy tax. and ive had numerous people all over the district question whether his poor response to this oil spill was purposeful so that he could promote his energy tax. i dont know. >> i dont know. maybe he is just letting that oil spill for political purposes, because he is a nazi and a marxist. who could know? the same congressman decided during the state of the union address in 2011 that he would not attend the speech in congress...

0 sore loser strategy there is going to be a lot of blowback. >> democrats tried similar voting changes. does that make it right for the republicans to do it? >> no. the only reason when we should be doing this is if everyone does it. every state does a proportional vote or every state abolishes the electoral college. we cant have do it some proportionally and some winner takes all. >> theyre getting ready for hillary. they know they cant beat hillary clinton so they have to do it in the best wa...

Down to the serious conversation of background checks that theyre focusing on stuff like this? >> yeah, i think were looking at inside the beltway media malpractice. its not new, ed. im thinking were on the tenth anniversary of iraq, and much of the press played stenographers to power, not an accountability watchdog media which we need. this skeet shooting incident has nothing to do, its utterly irrelevant with the actual policy proposals now under debate. so you have to ask yourself, who does t...
