[kydo]

14. Did he say it on air?

if so that's pretty stupid, he should have known better than to say it on air.

If it was a personal comment that came out, that sucks. a lot of people say things in private they would never say in public.

[flamingdem]

5. Bashir was the best, the most honest

and he paid for that

[elfin]

6. Oh NO!

The ONLY one I am sure to watch. Even Rachel wears me out with her mannerisms and routine, tho I agree with her.

Bum deal.

Liie Joy a lot, but Martin way better as a host. A scalp for Moosilla. Damn.

[malaise]

7. Hard loss

Loved Martin but I'll watch Joy Reid

[mstinamotorcity2]

8. Its true!!!!

Martin was put in Palin's crosshairs. She is toxic. And she should eat shit. She is troll property.

[Boom Sound 416]

21. "Martin was put in Palin's crosshairs"

??

[mstinamotorcity2]

23. Get it

[Boom Sound 416]

25. Yes I get that

But how was Bashir put in Palin's crosshairs?

[mstinamotorcity2]

40. figure of

speech. don't read too much into statement. Only means once he said something about Princess dearest repugs would blow their top.

[Boom Sound 416]

41. fair enough

[UTUSN]

9. So what do Wingnuts have to do to get fired for anything: Palin, COULTER, Limbo, et al.?!1 n/t

[graywarrior]

11. I know!

WTF? A handful of absolute POS get to run everything!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoCalDem]

16. They never apologize.. Liberals always apologize.

If you never accept the premise that what you have done is wrong (republicans), you just move on, and quit answering questions about it.. Some re[publicans put forth a bullshit ,. quasi apology, that everyone knows is insincere, but when liberals apologize, they do it sincerely, which only opens them up for more scrutiny.

Bashir only needed to say he got a bit over-the top,and then just move on..

I think he felt that he had somehow shamed himself and his family, and the only honorable thing to do was to resign.. I wish he had not. He made whatever it was, worse by resigning, and limited his own future in broadcasting.

Joy is ready for the challenge (if it's offered to her) but it was nice to have someone on tv who was literate, erudite, and polished.

[CTyankee]

38. I am not so sure this was voluntary. I think he got an offer: resign or get fired.

He chose to resign. I don't blame him. You go out with a little more dignity.

I think he'll find another perch somewhere that he is more appreciated.

[stevenleser]

19. Exactly. I am really pissed off about this right now.

The double standard is maddening.

[winter is coming]

29. They'd have to stop drinking the Kool Aid.

Spewing bile is their job. It wasn't Bashir's.

[lillypaddle]

10. Damn shame!

Loved Martin Bashir. Another reason to hate Alaska Barbie, as though I needed another. I'm writing MSNBC, although I'm sure it won't do any good. Bummer.

[graywarrior]

12. I had managed to push her way in the back of my mind and now this!

God I despise that shit eater!

[Blue_In_AK]

27. Please don't call her Alaska's anymore

She hasn't even been in the state long enough to collect a permanent fund this year.

[lillypaddle]

31. Gotcha. You betcha.

[kentuck]

13. If truth be known...

Morning Joe Scarborough, and he alone, put pressure on the President of MSNBC to get rid of Martin Bashir, because that is how he rolls...

[graywarrior]

15. Do you know this for a fact, coz I could use another brain explosion!

[kentuck]

18. Here is a bit I read a few days ago:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/21/joe-scarborough-martin-bashir-sarah-palin_n_4315805.html

<snip>
Scarborough said he agreed with Bashir's apology. "I'm glad that he went out and said it, and I will guarantee you he didn't write all that by himself," he said. He added that he goes to the president of MSNBC when similar controversies happen.

"Every time something horrific is said like that, I go in and I talk to Phil Griffin, who I'm good friends with," Scarborough said. "And I say, Phil, this is unacceptable; either they apologize for it or I'm going to take it up myself. And I can tell you that didn't happen in this case, because I was in the middle of a book tour and I didn't even really hear about it until after Bashir's apology."

Bashir apologized on Monday, saying that his comments were "deeply offensive" and that they had "brought shame" to MSNBC.

[graywarrior]

22. Grrrrrrr!

I'm killing my TV

[sabrina 1]

39. From the guy who has yet to explain the dead girl found in his office!! THAT is what shames MSNBC,

that they can overlook something like that, a little more disturbing than someone saying something a little insulting, I'm sure that woman's family would agree.

Boycott MSNBC, it isn't hard, I have since Keith had to leave.

[tularetom]

30. I doubt that he was alone

He was probably accompanied by Chucky Toad, Andrea Greenspan, Chris Matthews and Baby Russert.

[Hoyt]

17. Hope he shows up somewhere else if MSNBC doesn't have sense to reject his resignation. n/t

[TeamPooka]

20. WTF! FU MSNBC!

[asjr]

24. I am sick about this. I had stopped watch anything

on MSNBC except Martin. The man has so much more class than others. I now fully believe the networks are owned by the political arms of the Republicans. Java Joe Scar should keep his mouth shut. I will always believe he had much to do with Olbermann leaving.

[Blue_In_AK]

26. And yet Rush Limbaugh continues to spew hatred day after day after day.

There's definitely a double standard when it comes to left and right media.

[grasswire]

28. apparently we should have hollered

[e-mail]

Phil Griffin is the decider.

Let him have it.

[darkangel218]

32. I just watched the youtube clip people were talking about

Its really not so bad what he said, I've heard a lot worse coming from MSM.

He should have never resigned.

Here is the clip where he said what he said re Palin.

&feature=youtube_gdata_player

[graywarrior]

33. I know! It's nothing compared to Limbaugh's whore statements!

[darkangel218]

34. Yah, and you dont see limpaugh resign.

What a bunch of bs

[WinkyDink]

35. OMG. He ONLY elucidated the reality behind that IGNORANT SLUT'S "slavery" remark.

[Boom Sound 416]

37. Damn

[LadyHawkAZ]

36. And another one down.
