Bill Clinton took on 2 different hecklers & Scarborough is irate about it
On Morning Joe, they showed video clips of Bill giving it back to two different hecklers. The first one was an Obama supporter screaming and heckling Bill during one of his speeches he was giving on behalf of Hillary. Afterward, when Bill came down to shake hands with the crowd, the heckler approached him again and Bill gave the guy a verbal beating that he won't soon forget.

The second incident showed Bill getting screamed at again, this time by an irate anti-Abortionist. Bill stopped in the middle of his speech, turned to the crazed heckler, and firmly set the record straight on behalf of Pro-Choice, bringing a thunderous ovation from all of Bill's supporters in the crowd.

Of course Morning Joe twisted the entire thing around to try to make Bill come off as some kind of madman, when all you had to do was watch the videos and know that Joe is full of shit up to his ears.

How refreshing to see we've got at least one Democrat who can be as tough or tougher than the repukes. You go, Bill!

All I've got to say is fuck you, Joe Scarborough, and the neocon horse you rode in on, you miserable lying repuke....and thank God for Bill Clinton, who isn't afraid to fight back!

27. You see the type of people that support the OTHER candidate
they are so out of it, they follow Bill and Hillary around to scream and heckle them. Do you see her supporters doing this hell no....but then consider the source of the heckling.

7. I woudn't be surprised if they side with Joe (R) here, too.
It doesn't matter because in the real world, I'm grateful to leaders like Clinton who fight back. We dont' have enough Democrats who are willing to do that.

Anyone who can't figure it out by now doesn't know who Joe Scarborough is and where he comes from.

You'll love it. The man just doesn't take any shit. Then you go to the other end of the spectrum and we've got someone like Pelosi who's a pushover.

11. Joe Scarborough works that "be a dem for a day to vote Clinton away" meme daily.
And, to think some Obama supporters actually think Joe likes Obama.

13. It's all about Bill
after all, he has told quite a few people he was responsible for Hill's winin NH. If she was smarter, she'd put him and Chelsea on ice. They are not helping.

46. Without Carville the Bill/Hill Show was sunk from Day One....
Nafta Bill & Pro-War Hillary, tough on terror, were GREAT with Arkansas voters but have never had the intellect to run a nationwide campaign. They should have come on their knees to Carville and said 'please take Hillary to the Whitehouse'. The Clinton's commandeering of The DLC was, in their mind, enuff for the electorate to bow to their brilliance. There are many who don't realize that Hillary as the nominee will unite the Repubs like never before and hand the Demos the November defeat. Also Obama is, in some ways, the 'candidate behind door #3', and that almost ANYBODY, not just Obama, is the ticket to victory for Demos in '08. LOOK AT THE Hill/McCain polls. Getting angry because the DU democrats state that they and many others will either walk away from a Clinton nominee or vote for McCain may make you angry that they won't vote for ANY DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE but they are sick of the NAFTA/Pro-War, Bush Buddy Clintons. We are at the end of the 'Clintoin book'

They keep the tensions between the Clinton's and Obama high so they can keep the story going and the idiot viewers thirsty for blood tuned in.

17. You know Joe Scarborough he's the last coming of
Satan. He was up George Bush's butt for years and helped him get elected in the 2000 race with the hanging chad and he's from florida. After that fiasco in which the Repugs thought he could do no wrong he got his own show on MSNBC and didn't look behind in his rear view mirror at us in florida. I live in the same town as him and everybody here is republican except me and they love him.

21. That's exactly what Joe (R) said, almost word for word
I saw it too, and I beg to differ on how Bill looked. He looked to me like one of the few Democrats we have who don't take crap from anyone. It's a shame we don't have many more just like him.

I'll never forget how Bill put a verbal whippin on the Fox News reporter some time ago, too. The guy couldn't believe that a Democrat would stand up to him like that. Too funny.

24. I heard part of it; Bill needs to stop wagging that finger at people.
It's so very unbecoming. Actually, Bill just needs to go away and stop damaging his wife's campaign.

It's puzzling, to say the least. Or maybe not puzzling at all.

40. More than just a few do, that's for sure, QC
The true blue Obama supporters will be looking very puzzled when they see Scarborough turn on Obama the first day after he wins the nod, if he does. It's hard to believe how so many of them actually think Morning Joe wants Obama to win because he likes him so much, isn't it.

Which he is actually for (choice), he told her in a matter-of-fact way that women had the choice to choose. The audience clapped and cheered.

36. How dare he!
He should have told her that many people hold her view as a matter of conscience and that's OK! Then he could have gotten some gospel singers to perform for her and told the pro-choice crowd to get over it.
