Sick of the racism on morning msnbc
This morning on Morning Joe the mob sat around and talked about how the country might have problems voting for Barack Obama because he is a Black man that "we don't know", but they would be much more willing to vote for Colin Powell because he is a Black man that "we know".

The entire conversation was couched in terms of race and the "comfort" factor of how well we know the Black man who may become president. Meanwhile, they sit and talk about their love for the backwoods barbie that has yet to be vetted.

I'm sick of this shit.

2. You've lasted way longer than I did.
I broke my Morning Ho-Jo habit last March during their Rev. Wright hate fest. Haven't tuned in since. Don't miss it. At all. I watch local news in the morning, or tune in to Air America.

4. maybe we should boycott?
I have been watching morning joe for almost a year but lately I find myself turning the volume off because they have been so annoying. Maybe the DU should boycott it and see if the ratings slip and they have to come back to being a little less FOX newsish. They have to have seen Rachel's & Keith's ratings. Is the DU strong enough to impact? I willing to shit it off if others are

7. I turn those idots off first thing when I
wak up in the AM. I fall asleep usually with M$NBC on at night and wake up to those idiots. I turn it IMMEDIATELY. Can't even stand their voices. I wish Pat Buchanan would fall asleep until AFTER the election. Hate him too, And, I wish Rachel Maddow would stop putting that as$hat on her show.

6. MSNBC is only worthwhile at night.
Joe Scarborough has always been a right-wing hack.

9. How do you manage to start your day with those ppl and not be in the worst mood?
I'd be a raging rageaholic if that's how I started my day every morning.

Even if I could be Zen about it and suffer fools gladly, I would never watch to give them the tv audience rating.

11. I used to get upset with the show but now I take it with a truckload of salt.
I'd like to think they give me the Republican view that is not as rapid as Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly.

What is important to me is they HONESTLY think they are fair and balanced.

13. Makes me wish Imus was back
And, let me tell you, I never though in a million years that anybody could make me wish that. Almost anything to get Mourning Joe off the air.

15. Watched it this morning; the first 90 Minutes was the "Fluffin' Sarah Show"
It was just horrible.

Joe: "I LOVE HER!!!"
Mika: "HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE HER!!!!!"
Willie: "She is pretty awesome."
Peggy Noonan: "She reminds me of Ronald Reagan."
Mike Barnicle: "LOVE HER LOVE HER LOVE HER!!!!!"

Rinse, lather, repeat.

:puke:

16. Don't like the show
I just watch ESPN and HGTV anything over this pathetic show, I don't like the way they treated Obama in the past some of the question they would ask him. Like are you proud to be an American that did it for me stupid a**.

Hope Obama remembers all the media pundits that treated him bad, Make Keith O your Press Secretary, could you imagine Keith doing the press briefing especially to FIX News!

17. Try doing something else in the morning
Go for a walk, pull weeds in your garden, hang out with your children or pets.

19. Agree - I am sick of this shit too. In fact, I am about fed up with
all the media at this point. If it isn't the racism, it's some other BS that they want to beat to death every day. Be glad when Barack wins this thing and it's all over.
