Morning Joe: Scab-bro, continues to bash Obama

[Eurobabe]

Says he doesn't want to hear about 350 years of "black" resentment from that guy in Youngstown who had a Harvard education.

I kid you not. :wtf:

Time to mail blast MSNBC.

I switched over to CNN. :mad: :grr:

[babylonsister]

1. He's an elitist pig with an agenda. Here's the comment form for him:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036789/

[polpilot]

26. Bottom line: Repubs want Clinton as nominee.

[Perry Logan]

34. You obviously haven't read McCamy Taylor's "The PRESS v. Hillary Clinton"

This debunks the meme that the Right wants Hillary to run:

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/McCamy%20Taylor/157

[Skidmore]

36. It doesn't debunk anything. It reflects that person's opinion.

And cedes way too much power to Rove.

[Perry Logan]

37. It just LOOKS like exhaustive research.

[Skidmore]

39. It still is an opinon.

And one I disagree with.

[Perry Logan]

41. If they want her to run, you're going to have to show us why we should think so.

[Skidmore]

48. Bosh. Chris Matthews, Dana Milbank, and Karl Rove conspired

to set up Hillary. I see a string of quotes from a bunch of people. I don't see evidence of a conspiracy. I see political BS that passes for dialogue among overly paid talking heads. It doesn't account for the actual political missteps made by Hillary's campaign or Bill Clinton himself. They are not passive in this.

[K Gardner]

43. McCamy long ago lost the "unbiased media researcher" label and any cred he/she might have had

with anyone but Clinton supporters. Also, regarding your other statement, "we" don't have to PROVE anything to "you".

That's another meme that's getting very old.

[polpilot]

66. Pro-War, Pro-NAFTA, Bill playing golf w/Poppy represents more of the same.

It's really that simple. She won't/can't be elected and, if nominated, the Repubs will raise more money than ANYONE can imagine for the general election. It really is about ANYONE BUT MCCAIN OR HILLARY. The Hillary Clinton supporters cannot accept that she will lose by 4-7% in the general. It is a fact that lifetime democratic voters WILL vote for McCain, right or wrong.

[Skwmom]

Bingo!

[Strelnikov_]

63. Pretty much what it comes down to

You can sense the agenda whenever you hear the Reich propagandists speak.

[Hepburn]

95. Yep....

...that is soooooooo clear. They know they can beat her with McCain and, of course, they are stumping for her. Look at Limpballs...he is right out front about telling the idiots who listen to him to cross over and vote for her...or to re-register if necessary to do this.

If that is not a clue to us Dems to steer as far as possible from her, then even a ton of bricks would not work to wake up some who still support her.

JMHO

[City Lights]

62. To anyone giving Mourning Joe a piece of their mind, I suggest giving

one to MSNBC as well: [e-mail]

[K Gardner]

68. Did that, along with LOTS of people, over the past couple of days. Evidently,

they're going for the white racist vote and don't care about us "extremist liberals". I think people MUST write and keep writing daily.

[City Lights]

73. I even tried calling yesterday, but couldn't get through.

I tried from my cell and land line. The phone would ring a few times, then stop, then disconnect. I finally did get through once, and was put into their "hold" loop. After a few minutes I heard ringing again, then silence, then another disconnect. :mad:

[NYCGirl]

2. He's a Republican; that's his job. NT

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

3. Mr Potato Head Russert on now.

Joe has been awful this morn, as usual.

[dkf]

4. The talking heads were wondering if the American People were up to the task

that Obama called out for us.

Joe S. is failing Obama and us.

Very sad.

[Skidmore]

10. The Republicans have treated the American people as though they

were stupid. Even after getting thoroughly trounced in the 2004 elections, they still don't get that the people will rise to expectations if they are set for them. We are better than the mean-spirited, gluttonous bubba image that they so lovingly developed over the last decade. It is an image. Images can be changed. If the image of America is that we are standup, innovative, believe in freedom and equality, then the expectation needs to be set for us to live up to as a people. We are capable of this. We are capable of change. We have changed. And we need a leader that can set the agenda for change. Scarborough and his ilk make their money off of fomenting discord. They need to be shut down.

[irish.lambchop]

He's an arrogant,

egotistical bonehead who will never recognize any issue outside of the small, insulated house he's built for himself - a legend in his own mind.

[thunder rising]

5. And he doesn't want to hear it from some slum kid, and he doesn't want to hear it from his momma.

He just does not want to hear, see or have anybody talk about it. These are the real Fucking RACISTS

[Seeker30]

6. Quit lying, thats not what he said

He said he's glad he heard it but the average blue collar worker from Ohio wouldnt want to hear it.

[Kahuna]

11. You're the one who is lying. He most certainly did say what the OP "quoted."

Sheesh. Maybe you didn't hear it. Maybe you diverted your attention. But there is no reason to call the OP a liar. He quoted Scarborough accurately.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

19. Seeker is correct, Joe was putting these words in the mouth of an unnamed

voter in PA. He clarified, it was not his own opinion.
Skating on the edge. Mika, Quick, PUSH him over!

[Kahuna]

74. You're both right. I apologize. He does couch his racist comments..

as the voice of the redneck voters in OH and PA. Again, I apologize.

[JTFrog]

20. He already admitted he agrees with Joe in another thread. 'Nuff said. n/t

[Eurobabe]

24. She, the OP, I heard it and typed it right away

it might not be word for word accurate. But it was the gist of what he said. He is racist.

[K Gardner]

40. It was absolutely disgusting. It is exactly what he said, and worse, he said it

over and over and over. And then Buchanan came on and iced the cake with more hate.

[SoCalDem]

7. I don't see how ANY candidate can stand these people

They are professional nit-pickers..with 3+ hours a day to pick apart and parse every statement that candidates say..

and candidates must then beg for "response' time, or pay through the nose to buy time..

Clever ruse..

It used to be the job of newspaper/magazine reporters to do this job, but now it's the cable "shows"..and with YouTube etc, their little digs are instantly put out to the masses....and recyled endlessly..

They make no attempt to be unbiased either.. Their explanation is that they "go after" all the candidates.. They DO, but not equally or at the same "temperature"..

[soundguy]

8. You Guys Are Funny

The only person who can make some one a victim is there own person and blaming others is only an excuse to not take responsibility for their own actions.

[blogslut]

21. Um

So, the lynched black man had it coming?

[C_U_L8R]

9. Joe assumes wrongly that we're like him.

Most of America doesn't think like Joe Scarborough thinks we think.
And he insults all of us when he implies so much. I find it truly offensive
when Joe infers that we are bigots and racists like he did this morning
(and too many other mornings). We are NOT Scarborough country
and thank goodness for that. We are the United States of America;
a place where spiteful smallminded people like Joe are a dwindling breed.
Fortunately, we're a lot more like Obama country than Joe could ever imagine.

[Skidmore]

12. Yes. Joe speaks more to his core beliefs than he does to those

of the nation. We need to prove him and those like him wrong.

[C_U_L8R]

18. I love proving naysayers wrong. It's like slaying dragons.

Thx Skidmore... and your post (#10) is very powerful and inspiring.

[SoCalDem]

13. and their "concern" is like fingernails on a chalkboard

Sure.. Joe.. we believe you are "concerned".. :puke:

[butterfly77]

87. This is what I am hoping..

while I listen to them try to break people down into certain segments and they look at the country as it was thirty or forty years ago..

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

14. Pat Buchanan coming up.

DramaDramaDrama.... I really should get some laundry done here.

[Skidmore]

16. I think Pat will keel over from sheer apoplexy before this election is over.

It must be horrifying for him to see all the hate and division he has stoked for so many years being threatened.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

22. LOL. TrueTrue.

[gaiilonfong]

15. Remember Skankborough is a CRIMINAL

http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=news_crime&Number=296127481


He should be in jail!

[DeeDeeNY]

27. That is quite an amazing story nt

[K Gardner]

61. OMG.. This needs to be BACK in the news. How can they give

this guy his own 3-hour platform to spew his hate? All of us have commented about how he treats the women on the show, his overbearing nature, threats to slap them, shouting over them.. he is overtly hostile and if you watch ANY of the split screens on any of the shows he is on, he is clearly hot-headed and cannot STAND to be contradicted or interrupted.

This was only briefly reported at the time.. and I only vaguely remember it. But I keep fairly close track on the news and this is not a story thats been covered. Thanks for posting this. We all need to remind MSNBC we know and kick this out there again.

[City Lights]

77. When I emailed MSNBC, I referred to him as Joe "dead intern" Scarborough.

Never let them forget that we haven't forgotten.

[Eurobabe]

80. I will refer to him as Scabbro, LOL

maybe I shouldn't then they won't read it or take me seriously, and I am pissed about this. :nuke:

[truebrit71]

88. Me too. It never ceases to fry my ass that this right-wing scumbag got a pass...

...on this story whilst Gary Condit (summy though he was) got hounded out of office for something he wasn't guilty of...

[blogslut]

17. Oh, Joe

Admit it, you simply don't want to hear about anything black, period.

[Eurobabe]

23. Where's that dead intern BTW?

I bet Scab-bro has a few skeletons in his lily white closet. :evilgrin:

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

25. Rev. Rivers on w/ Pat

The Rev. liked the speech.

[City Lights]

28. Poor Mourning Joe.

The only thing he's got left is negativity and distraction.

Not this time, Joe. Not this time.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

29. Did this Rev just say Liberals are anti-religion?

[EffieBlack]

35. And then he told blacks who are unhappy with the U.S. to go live in Haiti or Nigeria

Wow.

[Skidmore]

30. "Reagan Democrats"--the demographic he thinks he's playing to.

As if there is something sacrosanct about Reagan Democrats. Splinter politics. Buchanan even has coined a new phrase today--liberal racism.

Gutter political language sowing fear and hatred. This is what is left to the Republicans. Bitterness and hatred crystallized and lovingly polished.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

31. Morning Joe today~ Liberals are racist and hate religion.

How they get away with this pap, I can not believe.
shakes head.

[babylonsister]

32. I just heard him; his hate and scorn are palpable. Someone should

put him out to pasture.

[EffieBlack]

33. That's not exactly what he said . . .

He said that the blue-collar guy in Youngstown doesn't want to hear about racial oppression from a black guy with a Harvard education and a Princeton-educated wife.

But your point stands.

Can you imagine what Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech, that so many of these pundits LOVE to quote from, would have been turned into if these same people had been doing the 24-7 instant analysis back then? They would have ripped it apart.

[K Gardner]

42. Oh lord.. you're exactly right. So why are people allowing them to Deconstruct Obama's speech?

Three hours this morning, spent listening to Morning Ho put his racist spin on it.. how is that even allowed?

[casus belli]

46. That's the brilliance of the speech.

The more they spin, the more they prove him correct. He said there would be right wing pundits parsing his speeches for tidbits that suit their own purposes.

This speech wasn't for them. The lights are on, and they didn't even bother to scamper.

[EffieBlack]

53. Isn't that a hoot?

They're falling right into his trap.

[K Gardner]

65. Yeah, ironically, I thought about that when I heard them this morning. "Well, they're doing

exactly what Obama said they'd do !" And strangely enough, they're not replaying the clip where he predicted they'd do that.

I say: "Not This Time". But its hard when you have a major media outlet who has obviously sent out the talking points, and that point is: destroy the speech.

[Eurobabe]

I kinda like Scab-bro, because he reminds me of someone

who picks at wounds that are trying to heal.

[casus belli]

57. Except for that murdering his assistant thing, right?

I'm sure he's willing to leave that scab alone.

[Eurobabe]

79. Oh yeaaaaah. That's one area Joe stays far away from...

Don't go there. :evilgrin:

[Eurobabe]

45. My bad then, I was so astounded by what he said, I had to share it.

:shrug: Thanks for the clarification.

This guy is a pox on humanity.

[high density]

38. I take it he didn't even listen to the entire speech

Scarborough and Buchanan are the two biggest fools on MSNBC.

[gaiilonfong]

44. Remember Racist Buchannan's racist HATE speech at the PNC convention

That helped Poppy Bush lose the election...he is a stanky old troll!

[slinkerwink]

47. I am tired of these assumptions about voters by Republicans

[EffieBlack]

56. I'll bet some of the voters are, as well

If I were a blue collar guy in Youngstown, Ohio, I would be just as offended by the likes of Joe Scarborough, a former Congressman now raking in dough by sitting on his ass for 3 hours every morning running his mouth telling me that I'm an ignorant, class envious bigot who doesn't have enough common sense to vote for a candidate based on issues.

Fortunately, Barack Obama has more respect for Republican voters than Republican pundits seem to have.

[zulchzulu]

49. He's too nit-witted to discuss anything else...what's Britney doing today, Joe?

:puke:

[Eurobabe]

51. Jeez Zulch, like BriTTnay is SO yesterday today it is all about

Amy Winehouse's FACE!

[workinclasszero]

50. The rethugs want Hillary to face Grandpa McCain

They know full well that Hillary will be easy to destroy in the GE.

[Eurobabe]

52. Uh, yeah, we got it flamin' now

Burn baby burn!

[izzie]

54. Joe is funny as he is always sure he is right.

He sure is a old type thinker. The poor women beside him is usually told to 'shut up' in a nice way. I do not mind him as I think we get the feeling of what the GOP is really thinking. And Pat? Heck he is like my mother in law who thought the Congregational church was a cult.

[EffieBlack]

58. And don't you love how he thinks nothing of talking about the issue of race

with a table full of white people?

Every now and then, he lets a black person come on - but almost ALWAYS paired up against Pat Buchanan or the like. Don't want to get too many flies in the buttermilk, you know.

[izzie]

90. Having lived in the South I think I have known this man

and you will find the same type in the North but I have run into them more in the South. How long was he is Congress any how? He talks like he understand all about every type of voter that ever went to the polls. I like the women but he just talks right over her. She seems to be the person that does think on that show. Joe just sort of talks. It is like a club when he gets the little guy, Tucker, on. I guess it is why these people have talk shows. They can talk about any thing and they think they knew about every thing. Do you think people think they know any thing? I sort of watch as I think it is what the GOP thinks.

[Skidmore]

55. Buchanan: Obama can't address what it means to grow up white working class.

'Scuse me, but Obama wasn't a "trust fund baby" and his grandparents were working class.

[EffieBlack]

59. Funny - Pat and Joe and the rest of them have no problem telling us about black folks

They spend a good deal of their time analyzing and lecturing about black people, the race issue, etc., in their little homogenous all-white groups. I'll bet the only black people that Pat Buchanan has spoken to (other than the help) in the last 10 years have been sitting across from him in a television studio.

I sincerely doubt that during the few short hours a day that he's NOT in a television studio mouthing off about every topic under the sun (being the expert on all things that the networks seem to think he is), Pat Buchanan is hanging out with anyone who doesn't look and think like him.

[SunsetDreams]

60. I just wrote his show..

I am disgusted by this crap.

How dare him or Pat, try to speak for middle class voters?? BS!!!

They are placing doubt, where one couldn't possibly know the answer to that.

I would have been happy with: Who knows how this will turn out? We shall see.

Joe Scarborough=softer version of Sean Hannity

[K Gardner]

67. So did I.. I don't think they care. I know they got overloaded with complaints specifically

about Buchanan and here he was again today, ripping the scab off of Wright and spewing hate again. It is dangerous and irresponsible, and I could understand if it was FOX, but its not.

[OhioBlue]

64. I only heard about 10 seconds of Morning JOe

but I did hear him say that he was glad that Obama gave the speech b/c it would make the world a better place for his daughter to grow up in.

or that's what I thought I heard him say anyway...

[annie1]

76. wow. how does he go from one to other other? weird.

[Bluenorthwest]

69. I must have missed something

I am not sure why anyone would be suprised that Joe is a right winger and a racist. Myself, I have never been able to watch him at all, as all of that seems instantly obvious. The suprise amazes me, has he somehow implied he is not those things? He is an actual Republican, a former office holder, not a mere registered GOP voter, a Party mover and shaker.
Why would anyone be expecting anything from him but the worst? Why would anyone even watch him? His agenda is to elect Republicans. Always was and always will be. When a pig oinks, that is really to be expected.

[K Gardner]

71. I think WE still somehow believe that because someone is given THREE HOURS on a morning

show, or any other show, on a major network.. we assume that person is there to guide discussion in a fair and meaningful way. Why do we think that? I have no idea. Scarborough takes his three hours and uses it to shape the world to his bigoted, mysogonistic view and no one says a word to him. Are there people out there who think he is a journalist? Who watches this show.. besides us who are outraged over it? Why has someone like JS been given this much time to shape America's thoughts on ANY subject? Why Pat Buchanan? Why isn't MSNBC just Fox News?

I think it is US, still expecting fairness and being surprised when we get bigotry and bias.

[Eurobabe]

83. EGGZACTLY. Want fair and balanced

watch the assholes on FOX, I guess. At least we know from which cesspool they are coming. :shrug:

[cboy4]

70. Why the eff are you watching that show anyway?

The reason he stays on the air is because you're helping his ratings by watching.

Hello.

[shayes51]

72. Is that your only channel?

[Eurobabe]

82. hell NOES!!

I frequently watch FOX.



NOT!!!!!!

[annie1]

75. what?! ok, that's f'd up. I can't watch MSNBC either for what tweety says about hil.

[liberaldem4ever]

78. I'm contacting MSNBC today

Joe used to be open minded about Obama, but it was like one day he just changed and completely turned against him. Like he got a phone call that let him know to get with the program. Oh great, I have MSNBC on and Pat Buchanan just got through repeating the crap I heard Joe say earlier. Why is on every program spouting the same hatred over and over. I watch MSNBC a lot and I am sick to death of Pat! He is going to cause them to start losing viewers (like this one). Already I won't watch Morning Joe anymore because of Joe and Pat. :grr:

[NoodleyAppendage]

81. Joe is a SOCIOPATH. Only recently has he revealed his true self on MSNBC.

Please remember. Joe left a promising career in Congress soon after the mysterious death of one of his young office interns in Florida. Just sayin'...

J

[butterfly77]

84. When I heard him say that I felt like...

jumping through the television. He is telling the viewers to think like he does he and fox try every angle to see what will stick...

[McCamy Taylor]

85. What about from a guy whose own grandmother was racist against him?

That had to have hurt.

Joe should go back to fucking chickens or whatever he does for fun when he is not spouting off about stuff that he doesn't even try to understand because it would rock his White is the only color world view.

[Cha]

86. Is there anyone on his show

to counteract him?

Also when Obama wins..joe will know just how much his agenda worked.

[angie_love]

89. Joe thinks he knows something of "reagon democrats' as he sips his starbucks latte in his cozy

manhattan tv studio. GIVE ME A BREAK! He is such a freaking dingbat.

[IsItJustMe]

91. Piece of advice. Quite watching the POS and quite reported his bull on here.

[Tribetime]

92. He's on the republican payroll twice a day now for Gramps

[JPZenger]

93. Bill Press, Carlson and Scarborough Desparately Keeping the story alive

Bill Press on Air America was still pushing the Rev. Wright story for most of his show. He claims he is unbiased in the primary, but the only person who would believe him is someone who doesn't listen.

It is bad enough that the right wing nuts are trying to make 90 seconds of sermon into the story of the century. We shouldn't have Dems doing it.

This morning, Tucker Carlson and Scarborough were double teaming on MSNBC for the ENTIRE show trying to keep the Rev. Wright story on the front page.

[gayron]

94. Bashing

No, I call it tell us who Obama is.
