I really enjoy your show,Ed, however I fail to understand why do you invite those puppets{republican supporters} on your show. You give them facts and they refuse to see the facts. In fact, they even lie about the facts. In fact, you need to say it like it is :that we are in a war between middle class and the wealthy!!

Ed could you ask how many republicans would vote for a tea party candidate knowing what they know now and give us the answer. Thanks

Dear Ed. Your vigorous defense of the Middle Class and your unequivocal position as as a Progressive does my heart proud. I grew up during the great Depression I went to war (WWII) against Fascism. FDR was the first President for whom I voted.
The Republicans have been trying ti kill all the great social reforms that FDR had the courage and vision to institute and which helped me a poor Jewish kid from Brooklyn to succeed. I survived the Depression, War, antisemitism, etc. etc. and because you, Lawrence O'Donnel and Rachel Maddow I, in my 90th year am getting back in the fight. I've written satirical songs about Sarah P. Rush Limbaugh etc. They can be sung or recited. If you, Rachel or Lawrence are interested in seeing them please give me a mailing address so I can send the manuscript of songs and a separate sheet with the lyrics. I haven't writen to Lawrence or Rachel because I can't find their comments oage. Please let them know,
