Joe Scarborough, the "Real Conservative," Has Been Blinded by the Right

Commented Oct 16, 2009 at 15:28:51 in Media

“Excellent piece Mr. Bloomenthal. I watch Morning Joe and I saw both of your appearances and you handled the interview very well. Mr. Scarborough is a "has been" congressman who craves attention and respect from the GOP and he gets NONE. Just look at his book sales. I did not see the GOP going out and buying his book in bulk like the do for so many of their conservative brethren. Scarborough comes across on television as an irrogant know-it-all who really doesn't know anything. Mr. Scarborogh thought for sure that he was going to man-handle you during your second appearance on Morning Joe but you man-handled him. Well done Mr. Bloomenthal”

“I'm from Rocky Mount, NC. This story has been covered by WRAL and the News and Observer, but I totally agree with many of the post about the coverage of this story. When I saw the story on WRAL-TV there was only a breif mention and I haven't seen anything since. (That was back in July) I have seen only one story about this tragedy in the N&O. However, our local paper, the Rocky Mount Telegram has ran several stories on this tragedy. Sheriff Knight (Edgecombe County) is a black man who has a stellar reputation as an enforcer of the law and I believe he is doing everything he can to find this insane person who has committed this horrific acts.”

“I knew something was fishy about this incident the minute I saw it on television yesterday. This incident is a prime example of how this national debate is really not about making healthcare affordable to all, but rather about a problem that has plagued this great nation since its existence. . . RACISM. These right-wing extremist are angry that they have a black man as their president. If not, why would this white man (MSNBC said it was a woman) snatch a Rosa Parks poster from an African American woman and destroy it? I would like to hear what his rationale was. What is really pissing me off about this story is the fact that this white man (or woman) has not been prosecuted for this obvious assault and destruction of private property. Where is this African American woman's justice? The clip that is being played in heavy rotation makes it looks as if this African American woman is the antagonist.”

“I know it too. I was hoping we'd get the full story eventually. Nice to have it backed up with video evidence!”

“They originally had to put their posters away because they were being BOOED and YELLED at by the attendees...I mean, you BOO Rosa Parks??? Seriously?”

“The point is to try to change the face of the protesters. After all, heretofore, they all looked the same. Pale, milky white. If you show some people of color, you can then say that it's not a racial thing.”

“I thought the same thing. This entire thing disgusts me.

I'm pretty sure the man/woman was arrested. Let's at least hope so.

“FOXnews DID run the ad. They ran it by accident..­.according to them. How many of you bloggers think it was an accident?”

“As a former Fox intern, it was no mistake. And the people button pusher there is slimy Rupert Murdoch. He has "off with their heads" fever. No one would do it "by accident."”

“Fox News sure has a high rate of accidents.”

“You might be an elitist if:
1. you buy a plane to travel throughout your home state to campaign for public office
2. you forget how many houses you own
3. you wear $500.00 shoes
4. you think a person has to be worth at least $5,000,000.00 to be considered rich
5. you can commit a white collar crime, such as The Keating 5 scandal, and receive NO consequences, but get the Republican Nomination for President of the U. S.
6. you think it is peoples own fault when they lose their homes due to foreclosure
7. your friends think Americans are a bunch of whiners
8. you think your POW status trumps any lies you tell
9. big oil companies like you
10. you marry an heiress
SOUND LIKE ANYONE YOU KNOW?”

“McCain's advisers said that he THOUGHT the reporter asked about the negative TV ads that his campaign aired, which have recieved so much attention by the MSM. And I agree with you, Senator McCain as our Commander-in-Chief is a scary thought.”

“Mr. Seth Colter Walls,
You hit the hammer directly on the head of the nail! I am in total agreement with your take on Senator McCain's lame attempts at humor. I can clearly see the changes in Senator McCain's personal character. His attempts at being a "one-liner Ronald Reagan-like politician" are falling short and Americans are taking notice. He was more likeable when he aspired to be a straight talker. Senator McCain is NO Ronald Reagan. Great article!
BTW, I saw the video footage of the reporter asking Senator McCain about Corsi's book of fiction and I am inclined to believe that Senator McCain may not have heard the reporter. I have always heard that the hearing is the first thing to go as one gets older and in McCain's case, he has probably suffered decades of hearing loss by now.”

“So, is he in the habit of answering questions he doesn't hear? That's even scarier! What if the question had been about a war or death? He would answer with humor, without even knowing what he was answering to?
