Discussion: 'Morning Joe' Bashes Ferguson Protestors, Rams, Calls Mike Brown 'Thug' (VIDEO)

Discussion for article #230671

as usual, i ended up muting a couple of minutes into the rant; he’s just impossible to take. but iirc, this wasn’t his attitude last week.
and deutsch’s role is similar to bob beckel’s on fox – a target of mockery who curiously is promoted as the liberal voice, when neither have any influence or real standing to that claim.

See. I told you this would happen.
This is not an “Opinion” this is Official Republican National Committee Policy. Black People are “Thugs” if they don’t “stay in their place” and deserve to die for the crime of “walking while black” if they don’t “show the proper respect” for Law Enforcement and you “either stand with us or with the Thugs” (new variation on the “terrorist” meme from the 2000’s.)
The Republicans know they are going to get crushed by the minority vote in 2016 so they are starting RIGHT NOW to gin-up as much racial fear as possible to drive frightened White Voters to the polls and “vote their fears” in 2016.
The tragedy in Ferguson is just a convenient vehicle for their new “Southern Strategy” which has now gone national.

Well, I think that Joe Scarborough is a criminal and did not deserve to have his side of the story considered when his intern ended up dead in his office. I have as much grounds for my assessment as he does for this one.

Time for a fucking economic boycott of that fucker and his fucking racist platform at MSNBC. Its loooong overdue. He will never live that fucking comment down, and I know I will never forget that having one more racist (who pretends he’s not being racist) on TV, spewing his hate-filled rants simply will no longer do…He needs to lose the platform and protection of MSNBC and then see how brazen he is making shitstain statements like that.

That’s the problem with conservative assholes like Joe Scarborough, they would like us to believe they speak for 95% of the American people, they absolutely do not speak for 95% of the American people. Now if Scarborough said he speaks for 95% of the racists and bigots in the country, he might be on to something.

He may have been a bit thuggish but at least he didn’t have a dead intern on his hands

“thug” continuing its way to becoming the N word for cons…

secondly, if MSNBC really does “Lean Forward” this show is gone…that’s three hours that MSNBC will never get from me…can anyone imagine Fox handing over even an hour to a Democrat to drive a show (a non Beckel, Williams, Powers, Caddell dem)?

“And by the way, if I’ve offended anybody by saying what I’ve said, trust me, 95 percent of America think just like me,” he said.

And already the line to get into the 5% has about, oh, four dozen people in it. Just got here. I see Ickey Woods a few spots ahead of me. Maybe I’ll say hi, but he seems intense.

(Seriously: screw Scarborough.)

If 95% of the people think just like you joe, there is no black and white. It’s just me me me running my mouth sounding like an a-hole trying and boost the ratings off the floor.
Speaking of cowards, tell us about that morning when your intern was having so much fun with you, it killed her. I dare you. Other than that, you are nobody special today. Just another gulianneeeee in drag.

So…who do we get in touch with at MSNBC to register a complaint?

Thug = Ni**er. It’s the latest in dog whistles. As to 95% of America agreeing with this racist crap - 46% of Americans believe the earth is 6,000 years old and Adam and Eve were real, so that’s not an endorsement of reason.

I have also thought that there were similarities between Ferguson and Zimmerman, although not for the same reason that Joe has. Both victims were unarmed. Both victims died because of initial steps taken by the person who ultimately killed them. If Zimmerman doesn’t follow Martin, who was doing nothing wrong, Martin doesn’t die. If Wilson doesn’t get pissed at Brown for talking back to him (“Fuck you say”) in response to Wilson’s request to move to the sidewalk (I don’t know exactly what Wilson said, but I bet it wasn’t ‘Hey guys, do you think you could move over to the sidewalk’), then Brown probably doesn’t die. In both cases, the guy with the gun initiated and the guy without the gun died.

“The cops have every reason to be pissed off this morning, Scarborough said.”

“The cops have every right to shoot black people,” Scarborough said.

This is exactly the strategy designed by the St. Louis DA when he put his one-sided presentation of the “facts” before the Grand Jury and then released it to the public. Hard to tell if Joe is playing along or is just too stupid to know what he’s doing.

Scarborough is more and more like the modern GOP----openly racist, openly lying, and openly proud of both.

Of course, if he called Brown a N*****, he’d lose his cushy job.
So he used the newest right-wing dog-whistle word that means the same thing.

My revulsion for Morning Joke grows daily.

People might be confused when he says 95 percent of America agrees with him. What he means is all the rich white people that he talks to, (the only people that matter in this country) agree with him, even the rich liberal ones who think their taxes might be just be a tad too low and that abortion should be legal (under strict conditions).
