Hmm... while I can't bring myself to watch Joe, I would say that he does seem to occasionally be right about this sort of thing.

He called out the Bush Junta for its idiotic war and the heckuva job Brownie did in New Orleans.

Scarborough has a conservative's sense of what's right and wrong, which isn't different than ours. In the unlikely event he's reading this, that's a compliment; it's unusual to call a Republican conservative these days and still use the word correctly (Jesse Helms was not a conservative, no matter what he said). If it isn't his sense of right and wrong, and I know a lot of cynics here will claim he doesn't have one, a least he hasn't lost his politician's instinct of what will and won't play in Peoria. Ideological extremism tends to warp that in some seasoned politicians, too.

I have little interest in defending the definition of conservatism. I will say that he was reasonable.

Perhaps I am a simple man, but how can it get the worse in some way for people to spread garbage around any kind of wing-nut action. I guess most folks who spread this, figure that no one is keeping track.

And the lies come from both sides although, in the Martin case most of in fact all has been from the Neanderthal side.

Who keeps figures on this. Is there a group of buffalo solders at the gates of heaven, with all our BS racist rant to send us off to Hell!

It seems to what Joe says is nice but he is just telling folks that already know the difference between honesty and jive.

He gets it right. Utterly correct in this clip and I agree with him 100%.

I have to go wash now.
