Ed Schultz takes on RedState and CNN's newest contributor Erick Erickson for his history of hate filled rhetoric and for his latest attack on anyone that dared to point out...gasp, his actual words. Media Matters' Eric Burns joined Ed to discuss this article.

In response to criticism, CNN's Erick Erickson is claiming that liberals are "misconstruing" his remark about pulling out a shotgun if the government tries to arrest him for not filling out the American Community Survey.

As Ed noted during the segment, it looks like CNN found their replacement for Lou Dobbs. Looks to me more like they found their replacement for Glenn Beck.
