Scarborough says he would have tore Obama up in a campaign if he ran against him

[Tribetime]

over Ayers. As long as Obama was white and had an Irish name. Says there's a double standard for Obama. Scarborough is truly self-centered and nuts. McCain is the one getting a free pass on his past associations. One more thing Joe you're no Barack Obama not even fit to shine his shoes.

[grannylib]

1. He's right that there is a double standard in the media, and he should know

If there weren't, Laurie Klausutis would be a household name just like Chandra Levy. Either that or Gary Condit would be Joe Blowhard's co-host.

[Skittles]

2. I tell you one of the biggest treats of the Obama campaign

has been watching true red repukes foam at the mouth at his success :D

[elkston]

3. I heard this and its absurd. If anything, Obama's race makes others

MORE suspicious of his associations. No one is treating the Ayers stuff with kid gloves. They are going at it full boar, pointless as it is.

[thunder rising]

4. Now it's a re-run of Geraldine Farraro

[ErinBerin84]

5. yes, Scarborough was particularly revolting tonight.

Republicans are allowed to be friends with or accepting of Republican terrorists, or terrorists who serve the Republican agenda, so yes, there is a double standard. Oh yeah, and it really pisses me off when Joe acts like he has no skeletons in his own closet (or office...) and when Pat calls someone ELSE racist.

[Clio the Leo]

6. Yeah, sure, me too! (rolling my eyes) NT

[AlCzervik]

7. i would have hammered Joe about his dead intern.

[JoePhilly]

8. Joe isn't even a good Joe.

[gaiilonfong]

9. we would have just said "DEAD INTERN DEAD INTERN"

and that pansy piece of shit wingnut CRIMINAL Skanboro would of did what he eventually had to...spend more time with his family...

Brokaw is trying to push Skankboro on everyone, but even Brooks was giving dead intern dirty looks today today thinking.....what is this stoopid ass doing on MTP

[ErinBerin84]

12. I noticed the nasty look that Brooks gave Scarborough too.

[Blasphemer]

10. I cannot fathom this idea that Obama has it easier because of his race

It is an absurdity. Their problem is that in the past they have used racism and fear mongering to excite their base without EVER having to be accountable for it. The role of Obama's race in this election is that it makes it impossible for them to hide.

[melody]

11. Yeah, that's why he's stuck hosting a political prat show

Because of all his political acumen.

[renie408]

13. Gee, ego much?? n/t

[livedemocarticordie]

14. he's a pig

and on my despised to the death list

[Youphemism]

15. Scarborough is a childish bully who talks tough to mask his bedwetting and inadequacy...

Joe just talks right over anyone who disagrees with him. I happened to be watching on that pathetic day when he tried to dodge losing a dispute with Shuster by talking about how many times Shuster had come in to work late...

After one of the most unprofessional displays I'd ever seen, Joe then all but called Shuster a baby until he came back on camera and accepted Joe's apology -- It was like a locker room bully who tries to improve his image with the girls by having his victim say "we joke around together like this" while his underwear is still pulled over his head.

That incident pretty much tells you all you need to know about Joe. Sure, he'll talk brashly about "What I'd do to Obama." But those comments ring as hollow as Lieberman's ringing of the war chimes. If either of the two actually stood on the battleground they crow about, it would be a race to see whose shoes started puddling up first.

And the outcome of that race would have more to do with the kind of socks they were wearing than the character of either Joe.

[budkin]

16. I can't wait to see him cry on election night... along with all of Fox News.

[RichGirl]

17. I guess Joe thinks that if he ran against Obama....

he couldn't win on issues or substance and there was nothing legitimate to criticize Obama with, so he would have had to run a dirty, nasty, bottom of the barrel campaign. I agree....he would have.

[sufrommich]

18. Joe is coming apart at the seams on national TV. nt

[AllentownJake]

19. Dead intern would be a bigger issue

[peace13]

27. Yes, Joe is in severe denial if he thinks that he can ever run for anything.

I feel so sorry for the young woman and her family.

[wisteria]

20. The pessimism has set in and they are now trying to discredit Obama any way they can.

The Republican base can blame themselves for much of the way McCain's campaign has turned out. They dished him, mocked him and hoped he wouldn't be the Republican candidate in 2008, then when he won the primary that gave the impression they would hold their nose and vote for him. There was no excitement for McCain until they convinced him to pick Palin as his running mate. She was their type of gal. Now, it appears she may be a major cause of McCain's downfall.

[EffieBlack]

21. I wish we'd known about the double standard that favors black politicians - imagine the power black

folk could have exercised before now if only we had taken advantage of it!

:sarcasm:

[TheCowsCameHome]

22. Why does anyone listen to this fool?

I mean, Jeez.............

[LibertyorDeath]

23. Pompous Arrogant Blowhard Egocentric Immature Dipshit

[Bad Thoughts]

24. How many men have been ruined by Ayers?

Really? If Ayers were so toxic, every public figure he came in contact with would be disgraced. Annenberg would be disgraced. The association is only problematic because McCain pushes it so hard, and he gets limited millage from it.

[cliffordu]

25. Right after they figured out 'Who killed the intern' on 20/20.....

[my3boyz]

26. Finally sinking in that Obama is better! He is so pissed

because it looks like Obama has a good chance to win Florida. Months ago he gave Obama zero chance of winning Florida..

[Bobbie Jo]

28. FAIL

[Waiting For Everyman]

29. Scarborough was not a "star".

He came into office in the Newt Gingrich "herd"... back when people still believed Repubs cared about the deficit (ha! that's good one!), and that was "the focus issue" at the time. A dead cat could've been elected in his place, at that time.

[WindRiverMan]

30. Apparently Joe does not realize that one dead secreatry trumps on old domestic disruptor.

It's that old Republican logic working for ya!

[Thrill]

31. He's very jealous of Obama. Just last week he was claiming Obama was too skinny
