Joe Scarborough compares several top Dems to Bin Laden

[_dynamicdems]

I'm fuming after seeing Joe Scarborough tonight. I'm not a fan of his show and don't generally watch it, but I had MSNBC on and was out of the room for a while. This jerk showed clips from Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Kerry & Rep. Murtha and maybe a couple of others (too furious to recall exactly) and compared their statements on Iraq to Bin Laden's.

This is just outrageous. Please write to them. Personally, tonight is the last time I watch MNSBC. Sorry KO. Just can't take any more of Joe Scabborough or Pucker Carlson.

[Avalux]

1. All too predictable.

I posted this in an earlier thread about why that tape was 'released':

If, as the nice fellow on Newshour said - this speech was written in English and translated to Arabic and may not be Bin Laden at all - it might be a very clever way (by those who will remain unnamed) to align Americans against the Iraq war with terrorists. Wiretaps, over-reaching executive power....any one of us could be arrested for speaking out. Scary, but entirely possible the way things are headed.

7. Sometimes I feel like Alice after she fell through the looking glass?

Whatever happened to sanity? This is all so upsetting. The Swiftboating of Murtha and now this.

WHAT is WRONG with these people? Scabborough, in particular, is so damn smug and so damn stupid. Is it really possible for a human being to have his head so far up his ass and still live?

[LittleClarkie]

2. Writing him will only let him know you watch.

And that's all he wants.

[Erika]

6. Calling him a cheap news entertainer

assumes that he won't be watched again.

S-Cpan is much better.

[_dynamicdems]

8. I'm not writing to him...I don't write to pigs! No, but I am boycotting

MSNBC and they are going to hear exactly why. I'm fed up with their version of FOX lite.

[wisteria]

28. I intend to write him and tell him I will never watch and tell others

to do the same after his desperate and vulgar attempt to insult our intelligence by comparing a statement made by John Kerry, actually in support of our troops, with the tape of terrorist Bin Laden.

[Erika]

3. Why didn't W go after OBL rather than Saddam?

Why aren't they talking about that? Yes, we all need to contact MSNBC.

They are making Faux News look like a credible news source. They've turned themselves into cheap entertainers rather than credible reporters.

[_dynamicdems]

10. Osama will never be caught alive. You can take that to the bank.

He is far too useful to the Administration. As long as he's out there, etc... Remember how he appeared just before the election? Osama always seems to show up just when Bsh needs him most. And the Bush sycophants like Scabborough are right there to jump on it as an excuse attack Dems.

[melody]

4. Typical vicious hatespeech

Wait till an American they target is sought out and murdered by one of their blind Limbots. They, of course, won't be contrite in the least. I expect they'll have Pat Robertson tell us it was God's punishment.

What country are they supposed to live in again?

[_dynamicdems]

15. That's a frightening thought. Remember Margie Shoedinger? And

wasn't there an individual in FLA who was investigating voter fraud and then he was found dead with two gunshots to the head: suicide. Yeah, right. Methinks the Limbots have been busy little beavers.

[xiamiam]

5. my feelings exactly...always get irritated when i watch his pontificating

holier than Thou attitude...screw him...the only reason i watched anyway is because hes on after Olberman...

[_dynamicdems]

11. KO should start looking for a new home because MSNBC is really

starting to suck. Yeah, I had the tv on from watching KO earlier.

[Maraya1969]

19. Oh yea I just remembered the term: Self Righteous - the whole bunch

of them. They wouldn't recognize humility if they fell into a pool of it.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

9. It's not Scarborough's idea, it's today's RNC talking point...

From the Fox front page:

THE BIG STORY W/ JOHN GIBSON



John Gibson's My Word

Were bin Laden's talking points taken from the far left?

http://www.foxnews.com/

...so Joe The Intern Killer is just following his marching orders. If you want to get upset with the source, start with Karl Rove and Ken Mehlman.

[_dynamicdems]

12. Good grief! Osama is certainly the best that ever happened to Shrubby.

Kinda makes one wonder...

[Maraya1969]

21. If a profiler gets a criminal right on the money do they say the criminal

made up his personality to fit the profiler's assessment of him?

Give me a break.

[waiting for hope]

13. I always have in the back of

my head that Scabby is a Repug - thru and thru.....just watch his opening for the show and it hits home on how much of a "moral, family man" freak this guy is....poster child for the GOP.:puffpiece:

[_dynamicdems]

18. Yup. He was a Repug Congressman from FLA and he hasn't changed

his stripes or his party since. He wasn't a very good Congressman from what I gather. Perfect credientials to make him an political expert (spelled a-s-s-h-o-l-e).

[waiting for hope]

24. Didn't they find a dead

woman who worked for him in their offices while his was in office? The usual GOP stinky....

[_dynamicdems]

30. Wouldn't surprise me a bit. : ( Evil GOP bastards. n/t

[Maraya1969]

14. He and Carlson were laughing about how stupid it would be to try and

negotiate with terrorists and right before Scarborough was saying that NO we did not directly target women and children with our attacks.

Well if you won't negotiate and will only attack with bombs and guns isn't that directly attacking women and children?

I was disgusted also. MSNBC needs to get its act together or they are going by the wayside with the other idiot programs like Faux. There are plenty of other ways to get intelligence journalism now. I'd rather watch CSI or The Sopranos than those dimwits.

[_dynamicdems]

22. Joe and Tucker: Dumb and Dumber or Smug and Smugger?

Well, I'm done. This was the absolute last straw. No more MSNBS.

[wisteria]

16. You can add tweety to that list- he is on an anti-Micheal Moore

kick tonight. Show them a little Bin Laden and the next thing you know it's Repubs gone wild.

[ProSense]

23. Check out Kerry's response

in GD:

[_dynamicdems]

25. Tweety. He's beneath contempt: a total whore. I'm not surprised that

he started this crapola. He's just a snarky gossip. He should be commenting on the fashions at the Oscars not commenting on politics. Maybe he has a background in politics, but the man sold out years ago. Big fat old media whore.

[flordehinojos]

17. Joe S-crab-boro is a copy cat. tweety matthews did it first!

}( or that is the new karl rove propagated propaganda.

[agingdem]

20. The talking heads have jumped the shark.

This is a "Shiavo" moment.

[wisteria]

32. I hope you are right. n/t

[NativeTexan]

26. Joe's no better a commentator.....

...than he was a congressman!

[MODemocrat]

27. Is this the same Joe Scarborough whose secretary was found dead and

under mysterious circumstances?They must have swept that scandal under the rug..If he is the same person, he's a scumbag IMHO. He has no room to say anything about anyone with the skeltons he has in his closet..

:spank: :thumbsdown:

[gumby]

29. Laurie Klausutis

Mark Crispin Miller: So William Bennett's gambling got a lot of press, but his employment of Mistress Lee was not reported anywhere. Gary Condit's affair with--and alleged murder of--Chandra Levy was The Story You Could Not Escape for weeks right up to 9/11, even though there was no evidence that he had harmed her. On the other hand, Laurie Klausutis, an intern in Joe Scarborough's office, was allegedly murdered, right in his office, but it was all, some would contend, hushed up completely (and yet Scarborough sometimes whines about it anyway). more

The M$M are TRAITORS.

31. Perhaps Joe is a wannabe to another Joe who tried to "manage" the news?

Joseph Goebbels

Excerpt from his Christmas, 1941 radio speech:

"...The same is true for all Germans abroad. They often live in an entirely foreign, sometimes hostile, world. It should not surprise us that we are not always loved as we defend our right to life. Envy and distrust, hatred and persecution often surround our fellow countrymen. We read about it occasionally in the newspapers, but they experience it every day. In a tiny minority, they are the targets of propaganda hostile to Germany. They are mocked, harassed, see their houses searched, and are put in prison. Why else would they bear it all with pride and dignity? They love the homeland even more deeply than we, and give their full devotion. For us, speaking German is a matter of course, but they are spat on for it. We read German newspapers every day, they get them months later and pass them from hand to hand as a message from the beloved homeland. We listen to the German radio every night, they tinker for hours with their sets to get a few words from the homeland. We see our German films and newsreels whenever we care to, but they have to gather secretly to watch a copy of a film like "The Western Campaign," which we have practically forgotten about.

They too would rather be at home than abroad, but they stay at their post to serve the fatherland. They are not worn down by hatred and suspicion. They are the pioneers of Germandom in the world. They are not out to conquer the world, as our enemies say, but to defend their ethnicity...."

33. Many politicians have had their Geli Raubal.

Ass Eyes has Lori Klausutis.

Hey Ass-Eyes- you are the one who voted for a freaking Nazi, not me.

[formernaderite]

34. Must be the line of the night on MSNBC

to call any democrat Osama...I guess he watched matthews show earlier in the night.

[MrSlayer]

35. That is the reason for the "tape" coming out.

This is exactly why this whole thing has been foisted on the people. To slam and smear and compare opponents of the war to OBL.

[No Exit]

36. Hey, Joe--what's the story about that dead girl in your office?

Why did you leave congress? Was it b/c you were about to get divorced and you felt that your soon-to-be-ex would tell embarrassing stories about your real life?

[FreedomAngel82]

37. They're all doing it

So this goes to show you what a fraud this all is.

[countmyvote4real]

38. Send emails to KO (Countdown)

(KO wasn't responsible for these comparisons on his show.)

Suggest that he nominate OBL as worse (person in the world.)

Chris Matthews for worser by comparing Michael Moore to OBL.

Joe Scarborough for worstest by comparing a string of Democrats to OBL.

[d_b]

39. Come on.

This is the network that replaced Donahue with Savage.

[underpants]

40. Same script here

[Snivi Yllom]

41. gee that's funny, Chris matthews did the same thing to Michael Moore

Fuck MSNBC
