Scab just said FUCK YOU on live TV

[nomaco-10]

WOW

Talking about Emanuel. He has really lost it when it comes to Rahm.

Edited to add context: talking about Emanuel. It will be his job to tell some people FucK You. Paraphrasing. I'm sure there will be a you tube.

[babylonsister]

1. Yep. nt

[Cnote1]

10. This may be the end of Scarborogh

[bunkerbuster1]

It had better be.

You know damn well Olbermann or Maddow wouldn't be working if they'd screwed up like that.

[roguevalley]

94. could be Keith's re-up put him over the edge

[rdublue]

22. A lawyer just wrote him if he needs a job he can help

[babylonsister]

24. I wish, but I doubt it. nt

[Cnote1]

2. He is so Embarrased

LOL I cant believe He said it. And now he is Lying

[WA98296]

3. I heard it! On MSNBC...isn't that a fine?

[onenote]

83. No. THe FCC doesn't regulate "indecent" speech on cable.

[GOPNotForMe]

4. Heard it! What the F is going on?! He is losing his mind. LOL

[Hepburn]

Context?

:hi:

[Skidmore]

17. He was trying to rip on Rahm Emmanuel by saying that

others who could or did have that COS job would be going around telling people "Fuck you" in the course of doing the work. That is kind of the gist of it, but he definitely said it.

[Skidmore]

5. Mika just clarified for him that he meant to say the letter

but almost said the word.

As if we don't have ears.

[Rowdyboy]

6. He's irrational when Emanuel is concerned

[jefferson_dem]

7. Please enlighten those of us who missed it.

What did he say it in reference to?

[Kahuna]

32. He was on a Rahm rant and indirectly quoted Rahm.

:rofl:

[jefferson_dem]

40. Thanks!

Potty mouth Joey Scar exposed! Priceless!

:rofl:

[rdublue]

8. sure did!!! holy cow, what will they do now

his wife is not happy

[yourguide]

9. who did he say it to?

[Cnote1]

14. He Almost Just said Dick!!

[blogslut]

18. He was referring to something someone else said

Not really sure on the details. But he definitely used the words "fuck you". All the lil' round table kids perked up. Mike Barnicle was positively giddy.

[bunkerbuster1]

11. Seriously? Not "the F word," or "Eff You," but actually

f u c k?

If so...nice knowin' you, Joe.

Ya know who did a nice morning show, who's available? Sam Seder. you think MSNBC might be calling him now?

[rdublue]

26. yes, the actual word

[WA98296]

29. The actual word, clear and concisely.

[Shux]

12. He can't talk his way out of this one

too funny!

[TornadoTN]

37. He can't, but Mika sure is trying her best!

Hilarious!

Joe's ship is sunk. Oh well, maybe Fox will hire him.

[blondeatlast]

65. Not watching, but that's got to be even more entertaining than the slip itself.

I heop the YouTubes don't edit that part out!

[Patsy Stone]

13. I rewound the DVR and listened to it over and over.

Well, Joe... It's been nice knowing you.

[yourguide]

15. who did he say it to?

[Lucy Goosey]

25. He was giving an example of things that Rahm Emmanuel can't run around saying.

Seriously.

[quiet.american]

96. I guess he forgot, he can't either! nt

[Patsy Stone]

27. He was talking about

Rahm Emanuel and how he would be as CoS. It wasn't addressed to anyone in particular.

[pdxmom]

16. His irrational hatred of Emanuel just burst through. I knew that was

going to come out eventually.

[nomaco-10]

47. He's completely obsessed with Emanuel, so much so, couldn't control his mouth.

[nomaco-10]

19. It was said in the context that Rahm would be the kind of guy....

to either say it to you or be told that when dealing with people. YOU TUBE soon I hope.

[Ganja Ninja]

20. How do you know when you're doing something right?

When you're pissing off the Republicans.

[Vinca]

21. I don't know, but my sensibilities have been seriously offended.

I might have to complain to the FCC.

[Hokie]

23. Get those FCC complaints entered: Link

Here is a link to the online form:

http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

[H2O Man]

28. Thank you.

Time for DUers to lead a coordinated campaign here. We should be contacting MSNBC, too.

[goclark]

53. Contacting MSNBC right away but I have a question.....

Joe must have a lot of strong connections because they never let him go no matter what --

Was the head of MSNBC in the office when the intern met her untimely departure? Perhaps the MSNBC chief and Joe were having a party of three?

Why was the investigation shut down so quickly?
Do you think MSNBC has seen the many web entries that talk about the incident?

If not, shouldn't we let them know about Joe?

http://www.americanpolitics.com/20010808Klausutis.html


With all the half way decent commentators,why does Joe still keep standing? :shrug:

[H2O Man]

59. I would suggest

that in order to be taken seriously, we stick to the simple point that Mourning Joe said "fuck" on live tv.

[goclark]

69. Got it

[MessiahRp]

87. Done.

I have no problem with obscenities on the air FWIW, but they use this tool all too often against everyone else and for once it would be nice if they got a taste of their own medicine.

Rp

[Hepburn]

30. Oh, I was hoping that someone would post a link to this!

Thanks! :hi:

Edit to add: Complaint sent ~~ and I printed out my complaint number!

[firedupdem]

80. I printed mine as well. He needs to go! He would be more comfortable

at fox anyway. Let's help him out!

[TornadoTN]

34. What time, approximately, did this occur? nt

[H2O Man]

41. 8:13 am est

n/t

[TornadoTN]

42. Thank you!

I just sent my complaint. I was thinking about putting, "Please, why don't you think of the Children!" but I took the high road and described it just as it happened.

[cayuga]

43. Don't waste your time

FCC has no oversight over cable. They can say anything and only have their advertisers to answer to.

[yourguide]

44. then why does the complaint form ask about cable?

[cayuga]

46. It's the government. Nothing makes sense.

I reported something said on Fox and got back a response from the FCC to the effect that they don't do cable.

[yourguide]

48. here you go

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/facts/complain.html

Indecency and obscenity. Generally, the rules concerning the content of programming on cable channels are not as strict as the rules concerning programming content on non-cable channels. If you object to programming on a cable system, you may contact the FCC to determine what rules may be applicable and what action may be appropriate.


Sorry, dropping the F bomb first thing in the morning is beyond, in fact the F bomb is even bleeped on comedy central during the evening (Jon Stewart). I believe it's only on the a la carte pay networks that they don't govern.

[cayuga]

63. What do I know? I'm still trying to figure out why this thread is in GDP!

This thread and the others in GDP on fuckyougate shows just how much we miss the chaos.

[nyc 4 Biden]

81. Part of solving the problem...

is taking down our enemies. Joe Scarborough qualifies as such. If there is a small chance that this could lead to his downfall, then we should move forward with the FCC complaints.

[Frank Cannon]

56. Probably so they know whether your complaint belongs in the trash

The "F" word has been uttered on other cable networks--including FOX News--with no ramifications whatosever. Your complaints to the FCC shall fall on deaf ears. Nobody there cares.

Basically, cable networks have their advertisers to answer to. Take it up with them, and best of luck.

[yourguide]

61. here you go.

They'll get a nice fine, especially after seeing scar apologize to the parents with kids but tell all of the other adults to just deal with it. Cant imagine the FCC will like that very much.

[Frank Cannon]

71. It's not the first time that word has popped up on cable

Including at least one occasion just a few months ago on FOX News.

No fines were levied. Nothing ever came of it. The FCC just said they didn't do cable.

I wish you success with your campaign. I really do. But you're wasting your time.

[murray hill farm]

45. Thanks for the link...

I just filed a complaint.

[realitythink]

49. Done and very easy to do

I encourage everyone to do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[City Lights]

57. Thanks! I'm going to wait to file my complaint until I determine whether I

can include a YouTube link so they can hear it for themselves.

Hopefully MediaMatters will be on it, too.

on edit...I just filed...link to YouTube video for anyone interested:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx58spRogkE

[myrna minx]

88. D'oh!

[NotThisTime]

60. If found to be true, the new laws allow for up to a 200K fine just for saying that on cable!

[yourguide]

64. got a link on that?

[NotThisTime]

78. I don't, I coincidentally heard this being discussed I think it was on the Daily show last week

[onenote]

93. You don't have a link to it because its not true.

Indecent speech on cable is not subject to government regulation or fines. The law on that has not changed.

[onenote]

84. complaining to the FCC is a waste of time. They don't regulate indecency on cable.

http://www.fcc.gov/eb/oip/FAQ.html

Do the FCC's rules apply to cable and satellite programming? In the past, the FCC has enforced the indecency and profanity prohibitions only against conventional broadcast services, not against subscription programming services such as cable and satellite. However, the prohibition against obscene programming applies to subscription programming services at all times.

(And no, saying "fuck" does not meet the test for 'obscenity')

[Viking12]

90. FCC does not regulate 'indecent' speech on cable, only broadcast

However, an organized campaign complaining to MSNBC may do some good.

[itzdaun]

31. It keeps getting better and better!

I've rewound it so many times and still can't get enough!
OMG. Mika trying to cover is the funniest part.
My cat is furious with me but I can't stop laughing!


:rofl:

[blondeatlast]

68. I read about Mika's JA upthread; I do so hope that part is on the YouTubes. nt

[nomaco-10]

33. mika of course minimizing it. telling him not to worry. lmao

[SpiralHawk]

35. republicon propagandist 'family-values' language

hypocrisy, thy name is republicon

[nomaco-10]

36. scab "nobody wants to talk, I'm radioactive" lmao n/t

[nomaco-10]

39. Apologises to women and children "Adults Get it Over it" lol

[frickaline]

52. Cool, women aren't adults. Thx again Joe!

[myrna minx]

92. OH, so I'm not an adult because I'm a woman? Fuck you.

Is that adult enough for you?

[Captain Hilts]

38. And...it IS Rahm's job to say "fuck you" to people. nt

[WinkyDink]

50. Sorry, but I think his own Conservative standards should apply: FINE HIM SEVERELY.

[nomaco-10]

51. He says he's not worried about anybody but his wife. n/t

[WinkyDink]

54. Apparently he SAYS a lot of things.

[LittleApple81]

55. Isn't his wife as psychologically battered as Mika? Because that is the role Mika plays on the

program... he calls him honey or such other word like that, but takes all the crap he sends her way really meekly (or is it mikaly?)

[Tatiana]

58. He's completely lost it. Hilarious! Even Rahm knows not to drop the F bomb on live TV. n/t

[ratherunique]

62. he reminds me of anchorman

[ErinBerin84]

66. I turned it on at the end

in the "what did we learn today" segment, and they all were like "rahm isn't the only one who curses like a sailor"...I wondered what this was about...good! Maybe they'll get fined!

[Liberal In Texas]

67. The guys on Bill Press Show just said he disappeared off the set afterward.

I guess he's in the office getting his butt chewed!

:rofl:

[nolabels]

70. Another debate that needs to take place

In world filled with innuendo about it all, it's ironic that only word in slang, that is used most often is the one that gets banned. George Orwell must be proud :-)

[chitty]

72. You would be better off writing MSNBC

It's the advertisers you want to get to.

Lots of renditions of the word fuck on cable, but not on cable channels with paid ads.

[Demi_Babe]

73. is it on Youtube yet

[frickaline]

75. yep.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SJUwn6eSNo

[City Lights]

76. Here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx58spRogkE

[Antennas]

74. Here's the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx58spRogkE

I hope this ends in a suspension and hefty fines.

[buzzard]

89. No longer available.n/t

[skooooo]

91. it is for me..

[Antennas]

77. By the way, Joe

Rahm can AND WILL go around saying "fuck you" to people he doesn't want near the president. It's his job.

You on the other hand can't be going around saying "fuck you" on TV.

Enjoy your hefty fine, fuck-o.

[firedupdem]

79. filed complaint with FCC and MSNBC. They really need to

send that bastard to fox. I can't stand him or his side twit.

[onenote]

85. FCC doesn't regulate indecent speech on cable.

[Teaser]

82. what a worthless dungpile

.

[Liberal Mommy]

86. Sent a complaint to MSNBC

I'm so tired of this crap from Joe & especially Mika! :mad:

[NoodleyAppendage]

95. Somewhere Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman are laughing their asses off...

Karma baby!
