Mark Halperin Calls President Obama a "Dick"

[ddlynn100]

This is not the first or worst thing said about the president on this show, the Loser comment was far worst, but still another mojo set up. My hope is to discourage more people to turn this show off. If you want more respectful bashing of the president watch fox the same time this show is own.

[TariqHWafai]

he is a senior political analyst? :D damn, and everybody hits on pakistan :D

[Melissasrandomness]

Hey, guys.

Blame the TV show. Not America. =C

Not all of us are this terrible. It just so happens that most of them are public figures. But don't worry. We're ashamed of them too.

[etemuru]

Boo!!!!! Completely out of line. They have no respect for the OFFICE of the presidency. Glad he got suspended indefinitely. Hope it's without pay & there is a no book deal clause.

[edteach2u]

Halpern is an idiot. I just watched him after his suspension on MSNBC and the morning idiot show, and he said he went to the Rick Perry lets pray to the fantasy man in the sky to help the country. If that is the amount of intelligence this idiot has he does not belong on the TV giving his opinion. Praying to fake beings for help for man made problems is about as smart as it was during the crusades. Hard times sure flush the chumps.

[keepingitreallll]

Shame on you Morning Joe! This is not laughing matter and being the hosts you should of CORRECTED that I am sorry! You don't have to worry about me watching this show!

[shootersteve]

I am in no way an Obama supporter, but he is still the President and Halperin should have shown him more respect on national TV.

[Freiheit483smalandra]

sorry but this shit could only happen on an american TV show...in my country there's something called respect, and this would never happen on TV, it's a shame, sorry but it's my opinion.

[jr7rockets]

Its racism. When was the last time you heard someone on live national TV call George bush, Bill Clinton, LBJ, JFK, FDR, Ronald Reagon, Jimmy Carter, or the many corrupt politicians that are in sex scandles a "DICK" or any other name...NEVER !!! . Yes he has the right of free speech but at the same time he is a deliverer of information. Therefore, there is an expectation to be professional and NON-BIASED. You don't have to like/respect the man BUT respect the fact that he's THE PRESIDENT!!! >=[

[DrMediterranean]

He's immature for calling him a dick, but the rest are WAY more immature for reacting that way about it.

[nickelwindow53]

I am glad the dude didnt hit the button in time and he got fired! How dare you call out President such a ugly word!

[ja1465]

Mika acted incredibly immature. Is she really the right person for this job? She is the reason I don't watch the show.

[888OXOMOXO888]

what has this country come to when a professional news announcer on a major network can call the president a dick AND STILL HAS HIS JOB. what is with you people? is it racial or some kind of weird throwback to adult childhood or what. and i like MSNBC. we are truly on the road to idiocracy. believe it.

[JL0vely]

seriously ive never seen ppl have soo much disrespect PUBLICLY towards a president more than obama...sure ppl hated bush but you never seen this much disrespect from ppl in congress, journalists, commentators etc...remember the bastard that shouted out "YOU LIE" at obama? you never seen a democrat be that disrespectful towards the President smh

[MzSiddiqui]

That was merely a slap on the wrist, his arrogant azz needs to be fired. These jews seem to think they can take liberties when it comes to black people and say what comes off the tips of their tongues, then all they have to do is give a back hand apology and everything is supposed to be just fine. Well I say we put our foot up his azz and tell him exactly where he can put his apology!

[realchimera]

What a joke! It looks like a comedy show. Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are two horrible presenters. NBC should really cut morning joe

[Xycester]

At 1:04, he's thinking, "So this is how my highly esteemed journalistic career ends as Editor-in-Chief of TIME magazine and a major political analyst: by calling the president of the United States a dick."

[AutopsyReport22]

I don't understand why they never learn. Didn't Joe Scarborough replace that Imus for the comments he made? What about Rick Sanchez, the guy that used to come on after Chris Matthews and some of the others who's lost their jobs because of these comments. I know this man had a successful book out about Obama, and I guess he thinks it's ok for him to say whatever on live tv.

[JohnJancar]

Clearly, the Republicans only care about the rich, upper class people. That is the real base they are catering to. Corporate taxes are at the lowest point they've been since the 50s, while the working class people haven't been more worse off since the 30s. And Obama, is saying, let's raise the corporate taxes back to the level they were in the 90s, and use the money to fund education and medical programs. The republicans are saying, we will not accept that. Shows you who they are working for!

[MILEGULLY]

This Mika, the Ms Values, laughed so heartily at this. Would she have laughed so nicely if some female was called the " C 'Word". This is made so convenient by the ad hominem nature of the Morning Joe show.

[Z200a]

Halperin's shitty analysis is at least as offensive as his disrespectful language. Has Halperin ever called out Sen. McConnell for his constant attacks on Obama? Of course not. It's only Obama who Halperin expects to bend over backwards to meet Republican demands. Halperin is a whore.

[SoapsGoldenAge]

THIS is why I no longer watch Morning Joe. The View offers more serious discourse.

[LilTom895]

fire them all

[b4real2me]

How can Mark Halperin talk about 'respect' when he himself blatantly disrespected President Obama? Cowardly he later turns around and apologize (yeah right, not sincerely but in the attempt of preserving his career) for his actions... well too late!!! Mark doesn't regret what he said, he regrets that it was aired and not 7 second delayed and therefore beeped. I don't agree with Mark Halperin being suspended, I honestly think he should FIRED!!! Joe Scarborough didn't catch Mark Halperin.

[umalieniyum]

Unprofessional and sickening.

[hoosiermama5357libin]

Halperin has shown how low the standards of the media are! Can anyone imagine Cronkite or Brokaw calling any president such a term? Even if you disagree with one's policies this is just pathetic. If any channel trots this clown out for an opinion should be boycotted. I strongly disagreed with Bush's invasion of Iraq but I would have been appalled to have had some one in the press call him this "term". Halperin was bolstering for Trump just a few months ago, how did that work out?

[junebug32482]

Harold Ford Jr. you should have told Mark in a very professional manner he how wrong he was for calling The President a Dick. I think you should have taken a stand regardless of how much money they pay you. You looked bought and paid for a black man sitting there. Talk about disappointed, I'm ashame of you.

[jxgriffin]

Republicans are out of ideas, literally reduced to name calling. Obama shouldn't sign anything now unless they repeal the Bush tax cuts.

[jazzymax100]

Harold Ford - you're a loser so don't think your opinions are respected anymore than Halperin's - Halperin just showed how bias he is against the president - anything that comes from his mouth about the president will be considered bias - he might as well go to foxnation for a job -

[punchpixie]

Here's some discourse for these elitist, detached, rich, self congratulatory dicks: F*ck you. You don't have any brains, you have no sense of history, or decency. I cannot understand why a TV station would pick, from among all the well spoken, witty and insightful people in the world, THESE morons to put on the air. Yes, our culture is rotting. People like those running this network are the reason why.

[WaKeDnBaKeD]

I am pretty disgusted with this guy. If a democrat ever called a republican president a "dick" in such a formal/tv interview setting the GOPs would want that person stoned. Its one thing to be caught off camera saying something...but this fool was just so blatant about it.

From the get-go these GOP assholes like Joe Wilson (You lie guy) have treated the Pres. like gum at the bottom of their shoe and I'm forced to believe its because of his race.

[junebug32482]

Mark, Mika, Joe & Willie your the Dick. No more mornig joe for me. I only looked at you every morning because I thought you guys were down the middle. I also like the way you all came and said how your not like this, were different, were better than that comment . I wonder had he been a white President would he have called him a Dick? Remeber black people listen and can easily mistaken what u say as racist comment and you just gave them reason. Bad choice of words!!!!!!! Keep laughing.

[Ethiopiabuzz]

American media is a joke !no wonder the country in going down hill .
