So MornJoe has the gall to accuse Obama of going too far in naming Romney's donors

and their money links, and is worried that it will happen in the future. He also claims that GOP has never done anything like that.

Fer chrissakes - thèse are the same people who demanded that the courts make public John Heinz will - and I don't recall Joe (R-Dead Intern) getting 'concerned' about going too far then.

The GOP has always gone after Dem donors and Dem candidates with the most unethical methods imaginable and Joe is whining that naming the megamillions of the GOPs donors is 'too far' now?

Does anyone scream and whine louder than a Republican who gets an ounce of splash back on them after tossing gallons of their crap at others?

Kept bringing it up...looking into your divorce if you're a big donor.
Hey Scar...didn't YOU get a divorce? Is there something there that is making you squirm?
He wasn't getting much agreement on set, in fact Mika said she WANTS to know all about someone who can donate millions to Republicans.

His self-serving justifications are almost funny. Even Mark "RW Apologist" Halperin is handing him his ass on a platter today.

Mark Halperin? What next? Joe should never use words that mean unfair. Repubs have pulled every dirty trick in the book and some that never made the pages on Dems. The moment the Dems start fighting back they cry. Now, who is it that likes to push folks around and cry when they fight back? Let me see . . . Fucking BULLIES!!!!!! That's who! Take your ass whipping and go sit down, Joe.

I'll say one thing for Citizens United. Allowing twenty plutocrats to BUY the American democratic system has finally given Obama a reason to take the gloves off. The Teabaggers love to bring up his time in Indonesia being raised by Lolo Soetoro. But I'm hoping it reminds him that Soetoro taught him how to box and how to throw a punch. Something Romeny never had any reason to learn.

heard his whining, sniveling, and crying this morning while getting ready for work.

First - it's Blood Sport - Political Campaigns that is and second . . .


What goes around comes back around. They went all the way back to the day Obama was born - so turn about is fair play.

No, it is their SOP and it allows them to be vindictive destructive people.

Obviously, "the evil doer doth shun the light," but is there a rational reason, in equity or statute, why the identy of campaign donors should be privileged information?

The Democrats have had a bad record of just rolling over and taking whatever the R's have been throwing at them for years...So, the repukes have no idea how to deal with a party that actually calls them on their bullshit turn after turn...Personally, I'm loving it...

It's obvious that he will latch onto any connection with the president. He dealt with, for example, the Bill Ayers connection as though iut proved everything, but then, afterwards, to Steven Colbert, admitted it didn't matter.

http://articles.nydailynews.com/2008-12-08/entertainment/17911914_1_mika-brzezinski-joe-scarborough-talk

http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Scarborough_We_talk_about_Ayers_because_1009.html

So it's legitimate to question Obama's connection to Ayers, even though it's also admittedly not relevant, but to to look into Romney's donors, even though that's obviously relevant. For conservatives, it's apparently not hipocrisy if you don't have any cognitive dissonance.
