ED SCHULTZ: Romney needs to have these people (NRA) if he wants to get elected. He can't afford to lose this crowd. Bottom line, Romney needs to sweep these Nugent comments under the rug, get them out of here. It's amazing what the right-wing can get away with? Isn't it? They just say, 'Hey, he's a rockstar. He's free to speak his mind.' Nugent

BASHIR: And it is also the case and this is the fact that the President has in fact appeared on Fox News on several occasions.
