Idiots and morons = Joe Scarborough. Amazing video clip

[thedevilinthedetails]

Sorry if that has been posted, but I just watched the video clip here:

http://mediamatters.org/items/200503290005

of Joe Scarborough & a lacky reporter talking with one of the Schiavo nuerologitsts.

Amazing how STUPID Scarborough and his lacky are, and the Doctor tells them as much! This is really sad how bad our supposed "liberal media" has become.

1. WOW, that was great. That doc took it to those idiots

[jojo54]

2. The key word here is "doctor"

Scabborough is harrassing this man because "he doesn't know what he's talking about"??? As I said, the key word here is doctor - which Joe is not.

I also like the ending of the discussion where Joe said he's been a lawyer for the prosecution and the defense, and he knows doctor's can be "bought off". Well, I guess he knows from experience.

5. More than likely

Hmm how did you know that dear old Joe? I betcha he's been bought off. I hate how Joe always has to have the last word. I know it's his show and all that but he has this "holier than thou" attitude. :eyes: It's really annoying.

9. That's one of the reasons I don't watch tweety anymore

He's been so far right lately. I'll always watch Olbermann tho.

3. i posted that yesterday from crooks and liars and thought it was great

Dr. Cranford put them both in their place with facts. I love that guy.

[rniel]

4. I loved this

"This is all a bunch of crap your saying. You people don't have any idea what your talking about. How could you people be so stupid"

"Was a cat scan done?" Duh

[FreedomAngel82]

6. Hehe

It was great. Someone put them in their place! And I loved how serious he was too. Of course at the end Joe made up some excuse for the little show. He probably wasn't expecting that! Haha.

[LynneSin]

7. Now if only more democrats did what Cranfield did

:D

[underpants]

8. Facts get in the way

apparently

[MominTN]

10. Joe is so far right

He thinks letting a woman die without intervention is the same thing as murder. I guess he thinks if you write a living will you are planning your suicide. I'm so not watching him!

[underpants]

13. Welcome to DU

:hi: if'n I haven't before

Joe is just reading from the script and hoping ANYONE will watch his show.

[Crunchy Frog]

23. On the other hand

he thinks that having an office assistant killed in his office is perfectly okay as long as he's able to get away with it by manipulating coronors reports etc. That's not murder, but allowing a dying woman to finish the process of dying without medical interference is murder. That's Joe's World.

[rkc3]

14. At least the facts that get in the way of what the rigth wants to see.

Cranford should be applauded.

16. Last Saturday morning

After an afternoon of discussion on DU (there was NONE prior to that, that I could find) I wasn't sure what was what and facts from talking points. I was having my first cup of coffee and heard "Well we don't know what happened that night" "Michael refused to tell the whole truth" on Fox News (2 hosts+2 of 4 callers)

DING DING DING red flags went up

A few hours later I had the facts and since then it has been nothing but counting myths and halftruths from the RW MSM.

11. Don't forget the quote where Scareborough rejects the Dr.'s evaluation

of approx 42 minutes; yet the sheeple think that they know she's still cognitive from 5 seconds of video clip - and Frist & Delay watch a videotape and diagnose her from afar . . .

[underpants]

12. Exactly-I was thinking of Hammesfehr's hour plus at her bedside

He never actually evaluated her he just sat at her bedside-from what I have heard (BAD ME we should stay to what we know are facts and not "what I heard" stuff that created/manufactured this story)

[thedevilinthedetails]

17. Oh but Hammesfehr got a nobel peace prize for PVS, right?

At least that's what I heard on Hannity }(

[underpants]

19. LOL

under the surface I think the Repubs are afraid that all this could lead to a cure for PVS and they loose their "base"

[thedevilinthedetails]

21. Yep, that's really the only reason they are so for keeping her alive

Delay and his cronies can only really relate to people who aren't "all there"

[TheModernTerrorist]

18. not to mention

he DID spend 42 minutes with her in person, but ALSO has the rest of the case file to look at, including those elusive CAT scans along with the history of the patient, so in essence I'm sure he's spent a little more time on the case than good ol' Dr. Frist and Specialist DeLame.

[Stirk]

15. The doctor gave them too much credit. They understand the facts just fine.

Scarborough and his female reporter friend simply don't care about the facts. Objective reality is meaningless to them- it's all just spin, opinion, and impressions.

Propagandists like Scarborough have a quality far more malignant than simple stupidity. They have a disregard for fact.

[Willy Lee]

20. You hit the nail on the head.

They knew exactly what they were doing. Bastards.

:grr:

[Stirk]

22. They certainly did- and they're pretty good at it.

The first thing the reporter did was begin setting the doctor up for a verbal attack by Scarborough. She wanted to be crystal clear on two points, and two points only: 1) the doctor was hired by Michael Schiavo, and 2) he spent 42 minutes examining Teri Schiavo. Those two points were Scarborough's main points of attack.

They play a little game like that. One spikes the ball, the other hits it over the net, and then they go to commercial.
