MSNBC's Ed Schultz's Red Scare: Supporting Republican Michigan Gov Equals 'Lining Up With Communist Party'

(By Mark Finkelstein, NewsBusters.org) - Wait a sec! Isn't it Republicans who supposedly are irresponsibly accusing Dems of being socialists and Commies? Check that. Ed Schultz has declared--not paraphrasing, actually quoting--that Tea Partiers who support Republican Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder are "lining up with the Communist Party."

Schultz was set off by Snyder's signing of an emergency bill giving, as per this report, "broad new powers to emergency financial managers appointed by the state of Michigan."
