MSNBC shouter Ed Schultz likes nothing more than to use 'The Ed Show' (weekdays, 6PM ET on MSNBC) to highlight what he believes to be racism in the conservative movement. So he was obviously thrilled when he found a clip of former New York Senator Al D'Amato -- a Republican -- calling out GOP strategist Jack Burkman as racist.In the clip, which comes from the Fox Business Network, D'Amato dresses Burkman down during a discussion of whether the United States Postal Service should be privatized.
"Most of these guys who work in the post office should be driving cabs," Burkman says in the clip. "And I think we should stop importing labor from Nigeria and Ethiopia, that's about the skill level."
"You are a nasty racist," D'Amato shot back, as Burkman's jaw dropped comically. "Let me just tell you that's a bunch of bull****. You should be ashamed of yourself and have your mouth washed out."
Burkman tried to explain himself, but D'Amato wasn't having it:
"Shut up, I listened to your racist bull****"
Oddly, both men were in agreement that the post office should be privatized.
