Good! Joe Scarborough got holy hell this a.m. from EVERYBODY on his panel when he seemed to

[CTyankee]

go along with the false equivalency of Trump and HRC on the gun protection issue. Did Scar really THINK he would get a way with it?

"...and see what happens to her." That is the most revolting thing that has come out of Trump's disgusting mouth to date. Joe was rightly taken apart for defending Trump's words.

He actually argued that there was some validity to the Trump/Pence/KellyAnne Conway line comparing HRC's SS protection with the 2nd amendment rights of citizens. Bullshit! It was a thinly veiled threat to a violent attack on HRC herself.

Katty Kay had to school him on what HRC's reasoned argument (keeping guns out of the hands of mentally ill people and criminals) was. The rest of the panel pointed out that the SS, like the police, had a legitimate reason to carry guns, sanctioned by law.

Joe was comparing her reasoned, factually informed argument with some vague reference to a citizen's right to have a gun to protect his family.

The panel was in full revolt and Joe had to back down, mumbling "I guess I'm in the minority here." Um, yes.And for good reason. You don't go around sanctioning an attack on a presidential candidate in any way, shape or form. You just DON'T.

The segment isn't up yet on Google but will be soon...

I am pissed...

[Iliyah]

1. This is the 2nd time t-rump have said that about HRC.

[napkinz]

6. and for Joe the THIRD time would be the charm ...

[Ilsa]

2. Yeah, I think he even said that maybe he was WRONG

this time. Everyone at the table pitched in on this. Mark Halperin reminded Joe that she has been living with death daily for about thirty years.

[imanamerican63]

3. I caught this too!

He is still kissing Trump's rings!

[riversedge]

4. Glad to hear they jumped on Joe.

[HipChick]

5. Even serial Trump apologist Mark Halperin seemed to dump on Trump today..

Tide is turning..

[sarae]

14. Yeah, I was shocked

that Mark Halperin, of all people, was recognizing how horrible Trump's statement was.

And in another segment, Joe was trying to say that the way Dems view Trump today is no worse than the way Repubs viewed Bill Clinton in 1992.

[Jason1961]

27. Reasonable Republicans

I know many reasonable Republicans who voted for Clinton in 1992. I couldn't believe it during the campaign but it was evident once the results started coming in.

92 was a magic feeling, didn't feel it again until 08.

They're voter base is shrinking and ours is groing; Trump is a sure sign that their party is dying but we must always be on guard because something else will take its place.

We're going to win this election and it isn't even going to be close.

[oberliner]

43. Agree with your point about 92

It truly did feel magical after 12 years of Republican rule in the White House.

[Tortmaster]

72. That's ...

... my prediction as well.

#Landslide

[vlyons]

28. that was the point when I changed the channel

MJoe can get downright stupid. I'm afraid that watching it too much, the stupidity might rub off on me. Yikes!

[malaise]

22. That was a shock

[HipChick]

30. Malaise I had to rewind to make sure..

[malaise]

31. Hehehehhee

[GeorgeGist]

49. The day is young.

[BSdetect]

7. Scarborough the Shallow intellect

Being generous with defining intellect.

[Cosmocat]

8. While a rare show of guts THIS is MJ

Rare for these pscychophants to actually stand up to him and risk having their heads bashed off the table like an intern, or worse, lose their cushy gigs, but this MJ, they have played the game of tearing Hillary down to create a horse race and when Trump pulls close they are like WTF did I do? and over compensate (not saying that this bs by trump is acceptable) ...

[CTyankee]

11. The GOP is using Scar as the first sounding board to see where there take on issues has some

sticking power. They lost big this this time.

Also keep in mind the media is taking a drubbing for coddling Trump and people are just fed us and attacking the media, as they rightly should, for not going after Trump's outrageous remarks and continuing their false equivalancies. Their comfort zone is gone.

[90-percent]

12. pscychophants

i saw what you did there. appropriate term for these times.

-90% Jimmy

[EV_Ares]

9. Thanks for posting that. That was totally disgusting but then, Scarborough is disgusting. First

trying to compare Trump's comment to a public figure, professional security or Secret Service alone to a regular citizen as myself is a bizarre reach showing you know you are lying. Secondly, it is a lie that Clinton has ever said she was trying to take guns away or Dems are trying to do that.

That show just pisses me off so I don't watch it anymore.

[tavernier]

10. The big lie is that HC is anti guns.

But DT's entire horse and pony show is built on manure.

[malaise]

13. I heard the early part where he was trying to support Don the COn's view that

Hillary was part of the birther shit.

[CTyankee]

15. I didn't hear him say exactly that but I did hear the panel jump on that (as have others in the

media). They can't let that slide. You have to counter the Big Lie with the Great Truth...

[malaise]

17. When even Halperin jumps down your through

you've missed the truth.

[lark]

50. Mika and Caddy (?) Kay were not having it, not for one second,

Glad to see them take a stand for the truth and not letting Scar ramble on with his utterly ridiculous lies.

[malaise]

56. ReTHUG spin

he's the early morning tester

[dlk]

16. Trump Was Right

Trump's previous comments about being able to shoot someone and getting a pass were right. For example, see how he has been able to indirectly call for Hillary Clinton's assassination, more than once, with no negative consequences. A regular person would have been behind bars by now. However, Trump, being a wealthy, white man, gets away with it, every time.

[malaise]

19. So true

Welcome to DU

[UTUSN]

18. Through my dozing he seemed to be making up with DRUMPF with every breath.

And DRUMPF responds immediately in kind if anybody is "nice" to him.

[Wounded Bear]

20. The really bizarre part of this, of course...

is that it is America's love of guns and the gun culture, and the proliferation of military grade weapons amongst the population that make the militarized SS details necessary to begin with.

If there weren't so many fucking nuts out there with AR-15s and AK-47s, we wouldn't need our candidates to wear bulletproof vests in public and surround them with armed guards.

Oh, and Fuck Trump, and Joe Scabrough.

[CTyankee]

23. Oh, yes. I agree and actually thought of that when this program was on...

we have plenty of evidence that even saying that she should give up her SS protection is tantamount to saying you want her assassinated. Tracked down in cold blood by some nut with a gun.

[Paladin]

21. Hillary doesn't favor the sort of gun confiscation that Trump is spewing about.

And she damn sure doesn't favor depriving law enforcement personnel of their firearms. And that's what Secret Service agents are: law enforcement personnel, protecting individuals who are the potential targets of the heavily-armed, insanely hateful segment of society, every single day. Fuck you, Donald Trump. And fuck you, Joe Scarborough.

[Wounded Bear]

26. The RW is a fact free zone when it comes to guns...

They "know" what Clinton wants to do because their "leaders" have been telling them for years. Any day now, the Obama gun-grabber demons are going to knock on their doors and come for their guns. And if he doesn't get around to it, they are sure that his expertise in gun confiscation will be passed on to any Clinton administration.

The fact that the actual confiscation of all guns is about as likely as the 2d coming of Christ never enters anybody's mind.

[Fast Walker 52]

37. exactly, it's a total bullshit, sick, twisted argument-- fuck them all

I can't wait until he is disposed of in the trashbin of history.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

24. Secret Service can visit him on their way back with Dump in shackles.

I've read enough here about scabby's shenanigans to know he's a POS repuke helping the rw lies soak in good and deep into the mass consciousness.

FUCK HIM.

It's about fucking time people stand up to these GODDAMN shills.

*mumble* I guess I'm in the minority, here *mumble*....fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkkk youuuuuuu

[CTyankee]

25. When enough people fight back and the media fear they'll lose market share and maybe their jobs,

it has a sobering effect.

That effect was in force this morning on this show...congrats to Katty Kay, the Princeton prof, Halperin and Heilman. FINALLY!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

39. I generally don't regret not watching tv and having no cable...

But this must have felt gooood!
Like, ya need a cigarette afterwards!!!

[CTyankee]

41. Just a difference in our tastes...you prefer no cable, I can take it or leave it but I like the whol

bellwether concept of MJ. It gives me a little perspective on the way the political winds are blowing every morning. I'm not glued to the tube, tho....

[BlancheSplanchnik]

42. :)

I think it's on too early in the morning for me.... but I think if I did watch, my tv would be a pile of plastic, circuit boards, glass and bricks within an hour!!

[CTyankee]

45. See, that's why we have DU! I can go on and spew about Morning Joe. It's the equivalence of

going down to the local watering hole on Friday after work and unwinding with your drinking buddies. Only I am drinking coffee and perfectly sober and chatting with nice folks like you. It is pleasant...

[BlancheSplanchnik]

46. Yes!! I'm having my coffee and pb&apple butter

Procrastinating on getting ready for work!

[underpants]

29. This bodyguard thing has been a staple of talk radio and FB memes for years

It was directed at Obama, then Hillary, and even Beyoncé.

[Fast Walker 52]

38. yep-- it's an old and DUMB rightwing meme

though most of thier memes are dumb, anyway.

[Yallow]

32. Joe May Someday Learn - You Can't Defend The InDefensable - Period

Maybe his girlfriend will show him the way.....

Joe Scarborough = Recovering Republican

There's always hope.

[Stellar]

33. I'm glad that there are still some brave souls out there...

that can still stomach that a**hole so early in the morning , thanks.

[CTyankee]

35. I have this theory that this show is the repubs early weathervane on how the politics du jour

will pan out. Today's show was a classic example. Joe nearly got blown off the set with his even HINTING that Trump was saying something true.

Run and hide on this issue, 'pukes.

[Fast Walker 52]

40. makes sense-- and I'm so glad he got called on it

now watch the GOP pivot to how tough Trump will be on TERRORISM!!!!

[Stellar]

44. MSNBC put's him on early for three hours to spew his...

republic0n bs, and Joe can do no wrong as far as MSNBC is concerned. Anybody else they will quickly find a way to get rid of them, especially if they lean left.

One thing for sure, they make sure to keep Rachel and Joe separated, she brings out the worst in Joe.

[CTyankee]

73. I LOVE it that Rachel gets under his skin!

I think he knows she can outsmart him any day on any subject...

[Gidney N Cloyd]

69. Absolutely is.

[elleng]

34. So good to read this from you, yank!

I don't watch the show, but surely appreciate your read. And love hearing that Katty Kay was one of those putting Joe in his place!

[CTyankee]

36. thanks ellen. I like Katty. She often puts Joe in his place...

[Sherman A1]

47. This is Theater

not anything more than that.

[CTyankee]

48. that's a bit too facile. I get your point but sometimes theater reveals character...

[Sherman A1]

53. I disagree

Theater in this case, is simply theater.

[Wednesdays]

57. Trump is theater, too. nt

[Sherman A1]

63. Indeed he is

never said he wasn't .

[duncang]

51. I'm still waiting for the evil democrats to take away my guns like the repubs keep saying

The repubs have had that as a main stay for so long that's all they know what to say. I still have the same guns the repubs said President Obama was going to take away. I can still go down to the sporting goods buy bullets and guns. I see Joe the morning joke being one of the weak minded who dipshit donnie controls. Tell him a lie and he becomes that true believer. He has spent so long not only accepting lies but pushing them he believes in the lies. Where the hell did he come up with the trip to another planet? That was a act of being to stupid to even try to come up with any kind of reasonable retort.

[CTyankee]

62. I know. That was an incredible leap. I said to the TV "what the hell are you talking about?"

He really got me going with that stupid line...

[Ilsa]

52. They argued that

it was bad for trump because it was the second time he's done it;
That Trump right winger crazies will take it as an order to try and hurt HRC;
HRC gets death threats every day and has for decades, hence the need for protection;
Her position on gun control is limited to expanding background checks to prevent mentally ill and criminals from getting guns, not against Second Amendment.

[Hulk]

54. Joe is trash.

Always has been, always will be.

MSNBC keeps his worthless ass on for "balance".

[Angry Dragon]

55. Isn't he the guy who killed his intern??

[Rex]

59. We will never know, he is above the law or was.

They really should have investigated that death and looked at Joe as the prime suspect. It pays to be a Congress critter.

[Angry Dragon]

60. and a republican

[Rex]

61. True, they do seem to let GOPers get away with all kinds of crimes.

[Gabi Hayes]

70. like gary condit?

his deal was concurrent with head jolt joe, iirc

[Rex]

71. "She fell down."

Good enough. I guess she fell down. Case closed. Onto 'news' career.

[Rex]

58. Joe is just lucky he lives above the law, otherwise me might be in prison

on charges of murder.

[malaise]

64. This explains his sucking up

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028173946

[rtracey]

65. Like it matters

Reports were that both Joe and his sidekick Mika went to see Trump in Trump towers, to kiss and make it all better....FUCK MSNBC

[George the Retiree]

66. Here's the Clip:

to the panelists.

[gopiscrap]

67. what do you expect from that sniveling piece of shit

I still would like to have explain the dead intern

[Spitfire of ATJ]

68. That was a RW talking point way back in the days when he was killing interns.
