Fox: Typical liberal agenda here; White men are being pushed to back of the bus. All they are doing is exercising their 2nd amendment right. Why is Santorum so weak?

When someone says you’re a smart guy, it nearly always means the opposite.

Santorum? Does anyone consider him a candidate other than himself? He’s polling at 0 % and that’s about what his opinions are worth too.

What Ms. Brzszinski failed to point out was American Muslims addressing the issue will change nothing. Santorum knows that. What it does is shame Muslims and that’s what Santorum wants.

I watched this morning for about 22 seconds before the 'Hillary is such a liar" started and I was outta there. I just can’t stomach this show anymore.

Santorum fantasy answer… ‘because white men with guns are either ‘saving babies’ that will need to suck on the Federal teat or protesting the Federal teat that lazy people who refuse to work subsist on to the detriment of us all’

Shorter Santorum: We get to dump on Muslims and they have to help us. Isn’t that how the world works?

Santorum said he is “doing a lot of things to solve gun violence,” to which Brzezinski replied, “You’re ringing bells.”

OK I’m slow this morning. What did she mean when she said he was “ringing bells”? I usually think of that term meaning hitting someone in the head or something reminding you of something. Doesn’t seem to apply here. Am I missing something or is there another meaning?

She’d never have managed to slide that question past one of the candidates who wasn’t at the back end of the field.

And yet 0% is slightly higher than Morning Joe’s Nielsen ratings in the demo, so a savvy get by JoeScar.

Yeah, I didn’t get that either. Unless there was some kind of absolutely meaningless “thoughts and prayers” ceremony that let him shake his head and play with his ding-dong.

I thought I was the only one … exact same with me. I get up at 5 watch First Look and Way Too Early whilst perusing the morning paper, but most of the time about ten minutes of Joe is all I can take before I switch to the relative calm of my local news with murder, car crashes and mayhem. Some mornings… 22 seconds is too much of the Chris Cristie Fan Club

Wrong comparison, Miss Brezinkski. A person is a Muslim because of their religious beliefs; not their race. There are white people who are Muslim.
You should have asked Sen. Frothy about all the non-Muslim men who are using guns.

Santorum: Most/all republicans are White; most are racists(like me) and most dont want to be called one. Why would I burn my bridges with them? On other hand, I am not as shrewd as Trump; I wish I was.

I took it to mean “dog whistle”, but without saying dog whistle, wink wink…
Wouldn’t want to give the game away.
