Fast Eddie Schultz: Big Talk, Little Guts

You have to figure that anyone who could say this...:

I challenged this hate merchant to a debate, apparently he accepted but never contacted us about accepting. He now frames the spin saying I won't debate him. This is so typical of the right! Change the subject, attack, and misinform.

...about Dennis Prager is about as credible as, say, Atomizer at a temperance meeting, or JB Doubtless at an assertiveness class.

But, surely enough, the Fraters have the story; ostensible lefty blowhard talk show host Fast Eddie Schultz, after flexing on Dennis Prager by demanding a debate, is ducking out; Prager - both the least hateful man in talk radio and the foremost intellectual in the business, praising with faint damnation though that be - called Schultz' bluff.

Schultz tries to parse the situation and escape on a technicality:

Repeatedly he tells his audience I'm a whacked out lefty from Air America. Do some homework guy! I'm not syndicated or associated with AA.

Who cares? Same echo chamber.

Fear not. Neither Schultz nor any other Air America "personality" (to say nothing of KTNF's trite, flyweight local "personalities") will ever meet a conservative talk show host in a fair debate on neutral ground. None of them has the guts to even try. Franken? Mike Malloy? Wild Wendy? Carla "Don't Let Anyone Tell You The Hurricane Wasn't About Race And Class" Kjallberg? Pffft. Mark my words: None of them will ever come out to play. Never.

I'd ask my Fargo-area readers to call KFGO and ask why Fast Eddie's being such a gutless jag. But there's really no point to it; being a liberal talker is about having absolute control of your message, screening out disagreeing callers, and making sure the questions never touch the echo chamber's delicate ears.

Dennis? It's over. You won. Just don't expect Fast Eddie to say so.
