[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] The frothing rage against Arizona's religious liberty legislation continued on Wednesday's Ed Show. The cable anchor, who on Tuesday insisted that the bill would lead to crazed, gun-toting Arizonians going on shooting rampages, followed up by sneering that this was the "most discriminatory law that I think that we have seen a state body come forward with." (More discriminatory than state slave laws?) Schultz railed, "The bottom line is, Senate bill 1062 is a license to discriminate." Given the anchor's sycophantic love for Barack Obama, it's unsurprising that he somehow related Jan Brewer's famous finger pointing at the President. Angry that the governor hasn't made a decision on the law, he fumed, "It's up to the woman who pointed the finger right in the face, arrogantly. Now we're finding out how arrogant she really is."
