Ed Schultz

[David Tomm]

Schultz uses the term "lefties" on his show all the time to refer to 
the most liberal wings of the Democratic party.  He uses "lefties" 
about as much if not more than the term "righties."

Besides, isn't this list supposed to be about discussing points of view 
about radio, particularly in the Boston area?  Donna didn't take a 
cheap shot at anyone.  I think she is perfectly within her right to use 
that term if she so chooses.  Lighten up.
