Hey Joe, GO FUK YOURSELF.
I was furious last evening when Lawrence OâDonnell thought that what Obama said about ISIS not representing Islam was the stupidest thing Obama has ever said.
Comes the Jordanian pilots off to bomb ISIS, with this slogan chalked on their bombs: ISIS does not represent ISLAM.
Epic fail, Mr. OâDonnell, who I usually like.

I have emailed Sam in the past and he has replied.
And while weâre on the subject of "âstupid left-wing moral equivalency,â remember when Scarborough was trying to get Chris Christie off the hook for Bridgegate by whining about how people werenât taking the Lois Lerner/IRS âscandalâ as seriously?
"âThe Washington Post and The New York Times are not putting on the front pages of their newspapers the fact that an internal investigation has been launched by the IRS on the most shady behavior, and yet they put the Pulaski Skybridge, or whatever, on A1?â -Joe Scarborough, defender of moral equivalency and hypocrisy

Yeah, JoeâŚbecause telling the truth is just such a stupid, silly thing to do, right?
Ask the Jews of Spain in the time of the Inquisition. Please.
Just sounds like todayâs Christians lie to themselves, a lot.
Actually, President Obama didnât have to go all the way back to the Crusades to be sure, but in retrospect Morning Joke should be glad he did rather than remind this sanctimonious prick that Christian Extremists on the right in the form of White Supremacy, have used the same tactics as ISIL by burning black people aliveâŚand in America! I know Joeblow doesnât want to be reminded of those factsâŚbut there it is. Own it you POS. It belongs to you, your history, and your ilk.

The Holocaust too. Hundreds of years ago. Totally irrelevant.
Whoa! What about Westboro Baptist Church? What about the abortion clinic bombings? What about the fundamentalist Mormons who marry 9 year olds?
Joe, you ignorant slut.

Yeah, OâDonnell has a bit of a contrarian streak that pisses me off occasionally. The stupid thing was that once you drill down, heâs not saying anything different from what Obama was: ISIL (sorry, Isis is an Egyptian goddess and really doesnât deserve that association) is a twisted fringe of a major religion that is currently causing the world great grief and must be extinguished but doesnât represent the religion as a whole. The UN speech OâDonnell cited approvingly simply switched the emphasis. What I wish heâd acknowledge is that every time someone makes his simplistic,erroneous argument, heâs feeding the hate-mongering nutbars who have been jonesing for a great clash-of-civilizations religious war. Just like ISIL.

Better than my obscure auto-da-fe Inquisition reference. But O! I can never see one of those horrific images without being incredulous with grief and disgust that oh-so-respectable white citizens actually attended those barbarous events as entertainment. They posted notices. They brought their children. They had picnics. They made postcards. Postcards. Itâs almost unbearable to conceive. Terrorism, indeed.

I will let you know. 
And you donât have to go back hundreds of years or point to White Christian beliefs outside this country. One only needs to look here at home not so very long ago. As a White Southern politician, Joeblow should have a deeper understanding of this. His ignorance speaks volumes.

You should do a little reading re the Crusades and the Inquisition before you talk.
âSometimes you can just say, 'Hey, you know what? There are some really, really bad Muslim extremistsâ
FACT: that is what Obama has been saying every single time EXCEPT THIS ONCE. Unbunch your panties, you hyper-reactionary douche.
THaT waS A MILLION yearS agO. We are TALKING about RIGHT nOW!!
The National Prayer Breakfast should be fucking eliminated, but no politician has the brains or balls to make it happen. It started under Eisenhower and its run by that creepy misogynist group of Dominionist Christians in Washington by the name of The Fellowship also known as The Family. Its become far more sectarian over the years, leading to litmus tests on speakers of all sorts, and often going out of its way to ignore the good works of other religions in this country. I hate it when I see any President speak before them as a requirement of their job somehow. It brings religion into the public sphere where it has no business being pimped by any civic leader elected to office.

i like stein alot too⌠but frankly, i think he realized that the rant scarbro was on, it was impossible to counter with a logical argument. scarbro doesnât allow coherent responses. he would have interrupted stein in his condescending, bitchy way; mocked him and dismissed him like he did ayman mohyeldin a couple of weeks ago when mohyeldin didnât conform to the hagiography they were pushing of chris kyle.
