MSNBC needs to Fire Scarborough NOW!!
He is rude to his guests, keeps on pushing Mason-Dixon which is FIVE days old, and is pushing for Bradley Effect, oth debunked by Chuck Todd. There he goes again, saying America is racist. :mad:

28. you mean "We're ALL Neocons Now" Tweety?


Or the Tweety that acted like a hard nippled highschool cheerleader for Bush in 2000 and 2004?

Tweety is a whore who sees the tide turning and wants to be on board. He will go with the flow. And as Jim Hightower says:
Even a dead Fish can go with the flow

Tweety had his chance for the past 8 years - he makes a few gestures in the last month or two and you get all warm and runny?

:hurts:

8. I'd love that, but you will NEVER see that!
Why not have a rotating anchor? Keith, Tweety, Rachel, Willie G, and some new guy or woman.

6. Mason-Dixon
I noticed it also. He just clings to the Mason-Dixon polls.

"a couple of polls were 4 points"

CBS News ("an outlier for democrats")

23. I Really Think They (Meaning Most MSM Anchors) Are Keeping Their Options Open.....
Many think that Obama will win handily - BUT - they know that the Repugs are out suppressing and stealing votes - and they don't want to be wrong. They are giving themselves some wiggle room. In fact, Rachel has been the most negative with respect to predicting that McCain could still win this.

I listened to a.m. Joe a bit this a.m. and had to turn them off. I just can't stand listening to Joe the Former Congressman. And Mika at least used to stand up to him more. She also tended to defend Obama. Lately though it looks like she drank the KoolAid and sold out.

Along with David Gregory - they should get rid of all three.

10. He prefaces CBS as "always being a left-leaning poll," says nothing similar abotu M-D poll
He never says "Rasmussen is always right-leaning," or "My Mason-Dixon data is a week old." He just finished trumpeting all the "close" polls, but when he switched to the national polls, he made sure to preface them with his own personal opinion re: their legitimacy.

:banghead:

I hope beady-eyed Joe and his mourning sidekick find themselves in the unemployment
line come Wednesday.

And I hope David Wilkinson Gregory's race to the White House is canceled, returning Stretch to his original msnbc role of White House correspondent.

13. Meh...I just ignore him...
Let him bring up his idiotic right-wing talking points.
There are plenty of other good hosts on MSNBC to discredit everything he says.

14. Notice how often he talks "RACE"!
You have to ask yourself why he always goes down the "race" (as in racist) track over and over again. In other words, just like Buchanan he is a fucking racist who desperately wants to remind people "Obama is BLACK" while sounding like he's just bringing up a legit issue and is not a racist!! Bullshit..it's a reason he got elected in his district in the first place. They drove Imus out and they need to drive him--he's just a bit more subtle about what he's doing.

15. Disagree - Scar is harmless compared to his counterparts on Fox
He is one of the rare right wing voices on MSNBC and if that is the worse we have representing that side, so be it. Unfortunately, the country is "center something" and although I like the views from the left which MSNBC is known for, ridding the air of anyone not centered where we want would make for some boring TV, plus remove the ability to see how the other side thinks.

16. sure, and that will eliminate all the right wing spin in the MSM.
because thank god there's no Hannity, Limbaugh or Glen Beck types on the air in addition to Scarborough.

just stop watching. blip, change the channel: low ratings are the only way to get rid of someone on TV.

19. So far, they've carried both the palin (almost in it's entirity)...
and the mcsame rally, the reverend wright ad, mccain SNL footage and devoted pretty much what air time was left, pumping up sarah palin.

I can't wait til wednesday morning to see them crumble and mope. That will be the last time I tune in to this trainwreck.

22. It's six days old...
and all the other new national polls all concluded yesterday, November 2. Joe is Liar in Chief at MSNBC. It would be really nice if there were one cable news show that gave us accurate information, but how likely is that to happen when we make them, and every thing they say relevant.

25. Are you going Joe Scarborough fair?
Are you going Joe Scarborough, fair?
Mason-Dixon is out of date
Will you be seen selling cheap oven ware?
and I will buy the commemorative plate

Will you cry when Georgia turns blue?
Mason-Dixon is out of date
or will you sell trucks that are not quite new
and I will buy the commemorative plate

Will you sob when your Sarah goes home?
Mason-Dixon is out of date
Or will you run that newspaper in Nome
and I will buy the commemorative plate

(with apologies to traditional song everywhere ....)

But that's nothing new.

33. Some parts of America ARE racist. It doesn't take Scarsborough to demonstrate that fact.
Were you paying attention to Kentucky and West Virginia DEMOCRATS in the primaries? They had some really blatantly racists things to say.
