If Joe Scarborough can't pronounce Obama, he should be fired.

[Shae]

On MSNBC before breaking for commerical, Scarborough says, "Osama . . . Obama senior strategist coming up next."
If Joe Scarborough can't pronounce the name of the Democratic Presidential candidate, he should be replaced with someone who can. We need to write MSNBC and tell them so.

[ShortnFiery]

1. What a POS.

:grr:

[my3boyz]

2. Yup! I was just about to post that. He is such an asshole! nt

[Uben]

3. I agree, Shoe

pun intended

[sellitman]

4. I never watch intern killers on TV

If I can help it.

[K Gardner]

5. Gibbs is throwing their garbage right back in their face. (I wish I could redo that post

I did this morning saying I thought MJ had turned around). :grr:

[City Lights]

6. Beady-eyed Joe might get fired if enough people stopped watching.

I've been doing my part since March.

[Shae]

8. I agree.

I rarely watch him, but had just turned on the tv when I heard that.

[H2O Man]

7. He also said

"Senator Palin" again this morning. Not for the first time, either.

[Thrill]

9. He can pronounce it. Just trying to be an asshole.

[tsuki]

37. He doesn't have to try. nt

[realitythink]

10. That was not an accident!

That POS will do anything to smear Obama. He is an RNC mole at NBC and everyone that works there knows it. Unfortunately the low-info. voters don't.

[No Elephants]

11. I'm willing to write. What's the email address?

[Shae]

12. to email

[email protected]

[gateley]

14. Done. nt

[Shae]

18. Thanks.

If we don't complain about it, they won't see any reason to change it.

[gateley]

28. Thanks for the link.

I always say not only will I no longer watch whatever show I'm complaining about :7, I always toss in that the "advertisers will be hearing from me". That's all they care about - advertising dollar revenues. And the ratings to generate those revenues.

[No Elephants]

24. Thanks. On my way to email now.

[No Elephants]

27. Done!

[stillcool]

39. thanks.

[Mrs. Overall]

46. Just emailed them. Thanks for the address.

[mcg]

50. Done. nt

[SIMPLYB1980]

13. Next time he does that someone on the show should ask him about his dead intern.

Indeed. On May 29, 2003, Scarborough appeared on Don Imus's radio show. While complimenting Scarborough on his sense of humor, Imus said, "Don't be afraid to be funny, because you are funny. I asked you why you aren't in Congress. You said that you had sex with the intern, and then you had to kill her." Scarborough laughed and replied, "Yeah, well, what are you gonna do?"

[Shae]

16. Thanks for the link

Hopefully the truth of whatever happened to that poor girl will eventually come to light.

[SIMPLYB1980]

19. I hope so to, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

[OwnedByFerrets]

15. I was just thinking this very morning

that it had been nice that we dont hear that fuckup anymore......and there the intern killer goes again. What an asswipe.

[DrDan]

17. oh Good Lord - lets worry about some serious issues

this is so trivial

[Shae]

21. It isn't trivial.

He purposely tries to deprecate Obama in the consciousness of viewers by linking him with Osama.
It's like subliminal advertising. It may not be effective to you and me, but there are still plenty of people who say that they could never vote for Obama because he is a Muslim.

[DrDan]

38. they got that crap from faux news and the likes of pigboy and their vacuous ire

trivial

[DainBramaged]

22. This is NOT trivial, it is an insult and hat asshole knows it

Liberals watch MSNBC, so every time this asshat does something like this he insults US and reinforces the stereotype among the Reich wingers who watch because they KNOW Schmo is a hack.

[DrDan]

36. I am a liberal/progressive - have been for decades

and I am not insulted. When I get tired of Joe - who I tend to watch each morning - I simply change the channel.

A trivial comment. He has been pretty hard on mccain the past couple of weeks.

[DainBramaged]

48. He is a fraud, and as his ratings continue to decline, maybe MSNBC will wise up

[Chan790]

23. Isn't it?

This is a serious issue...it's not the first time he's made this "mistake". It's an effort to imply a link or equate between the scary African-American man with the funny name (Because that is how some portion of the population views him) who is running for president to the most wanted man in the world.

So...no it's not trivial because the shithead is fear-mongering...and I'm done taking it lying down.

[DrDan]

35. no - this is just a immature rant

[stillcool]

43. It may not matter to you..

but to me, with 35 days left to the election everything matters. Every smear and every lie. I choose not to watch it, but I also choose to push back and let these people know that their bullshit isn't flying when I see it or read it on the net. If you feel comfortable with it, that's fine with me. But what do you have against those who take the minimal action, and fire off an email? You would think that lying us into a war with Iraq was no big deal either.

[DrDan]

44. are you actually equating lying to take us to war to someone who mispronounce obama's name?

Give me a break.

I have nothing agains those that take a stand on issues. I have sent Joe numerous emails - even had one read on the show.

Just saying - do so for issues that matter. This is trivial and inconsequential.

[stillcool]

47. No. I was not trying to equate..

the two. What I was trying to say is that in no way should anything that comes through the television screen be taken as a mistake, or lack of knowledge on the part of the purveyor of words.

[zulchzulu]

20. Moron Joe does that all the time... what a waste of pixels n/t

[VolcanoJen]

25. It's gonna go SO hardcore negative, it's gonna make our heads spin.

Joe Scarborough is a noxious weed who merrily does the bidding of his GOP and GE masters. He earned his money this morning!

Doesn't it just crack you up to hear Joe and Mika talking about "Main Street" and how AWFUL, HORRIBLE I TELL YOU, it is that Wall Street people aren't giving up their houses and yachts and country clubs and private schools for their kids?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Who wants to bet Joe spent yesterday golfing?

[BklynChick]

26. they do it on purpose, what bullshit.

[Neecy]

29. agreed, and I'll add this

He should also be fired if he can't pronounce the name of our party. Notice he always calls us "Dimocrats", the only time his so-called regional accent comes into play.

[chill_wind]

34. You beat me to it. Nothng subtle about it. n/t

[eshfemme]

30. He's also the fucker who took up airtime discussing Obama's darker skin tone

That fucker needs to get fired. The show sucks anyway and the only reason it has an audience is because it's in the fucking morning where people will watch anything-- getting pumped up by feeling incalculable amounts of rage at the BS spewed by anyone is a way to wake up for even the most anemic of people.

[driver8]

31. Jesus...what is this, the first grade playground?

What a fucking asshole that guy is.

[bunnies]

32. It *is* possible that the man made an honest mistake.

He was saying Obama Senior Strategist. Lots of S's. Just saying.

I know Its not as fun as pretending to know a strangers inner intentions and then ridiculing him for doing what you *think* he did. But lets try to use just the tiniest bit of critical thinking here... can we?

Biden himself has made the mistake. Get the pitchforks ready!! :eyes:

[murbley40]

40. Not likely!

[bunnies]

41. Must be nice to be all-knowing.

[kevinds13]

33. Frankly

He can go fuck himself.

[progressoid]

42. Wait until President Obama catches Osama.

Scarborough will be tongue tied for weeks.

[LibraLiz1973]

45. This is disturbing, yet somehow LESS so than when he said Obama looked "awfully dark"

to him the other night at the debate.


Fucking asshole

[mimitabby]

49. i wrote an email.

thanks for the link
