Wow! never thought I'd agree with Joe Scarborough but I do. The republicans cheering of us losing the chance to host the olympics was pure insanity,and Rush Limbaugh when he talks shit flies!
If the Republican party would spend as much money and time on REVAMPING their party (and finding candidates for office that are not wing nuts) as they do trying to bring down everything that Obama does, maybe they'd be worth voting for.
Hey, both parties always had a few nuts in them, but the GOP now has the whole freaking tree......... why has the GOP attracted so many reactionary religious nutjobs???
The whole gang of them doesn't have two brain cells to rub together .......
LMAO...scarborough is just now realizing this...lol....i guess the death panels, birthers, anti christ claims , nazi comparisons etc....did lead to that conclusion for him.....he seems genuinely shocked by rush and the right wing...lmao....i love when he says "rush is smarter than that"....where's your proof joe ?
it seems like most republicans are so angry at losing an election that they now hate the country they used to claim to love. They seem very pleased when things go wrong and actuall seem to want most of us to suffer if we voted for someone they did not. They don't even care if their rooting against america hurts themselves anymore. They are like wounded animals lashing out at anything and everything. They think they can have a revolution & kill anyone who voted democratic.

What hypocrites!! The left cheered every time the news reported soldiers killed in Iraq so they could blame it on Bush. Now hardly a peep in Afghan. when soldiers die. Rush and others are not celebrating America's failure but rather pointing out the EGO who landed and failed to dazzle the IOC with his many words like he does so many here in the Media with "thrills" running up and down legs....

Poor Joe, a "conservative on the most liberal media station.

People know about the lies and contempt this administration has for our constitution and our country.

Joe, Rush is not a Republican. He is a conservative. He was reacting to the failure on the President's part. We don't need the Olympics in the US. We are not third world nation looking for recognition. The fact is that this was the President paying back political favors and demonstrating again his lack of understanding.
Rush, Beck, Coulter, and Gingrich are mean spirited, Neo-Con, A-- holes. They are the downfall of the once Grand Old Party. Joe is a true, thinking, conservative in the spirit of Barry Goldwater.
I agree, Scarborough is a Rockefeller Republican, a fiscal conservative.
The GOP ran off the rails when is was hijacked by the religious extremists of the Reagan era, that has of course been continued in this day as evinced by some of the dumbest unqualified zealots of all time ...... Palin, Bachman, Trent Franks and dozens of other of other lunatics and ignoramuses .....
This gang of teabaggers and nutjobs will NEVER see another vote from me until they dissociate from these reactionary nuts
Wow, still in denial. I bet you loved the USA Patriot Act. Just another big government neoconservative hypocrite.Get back to me when you're actually interested in limited government instead of Big Brother in the name "fighthing terrorism".
And where were you Republican guys when it came to "calling out" BUSH for his LIES? He makes Obama look like a Sunday School teacher! 80% of everything Bush did was under "Executive Privilege" or have you conveniently forgotten that in the wake of the "Great Man's" leaving office in disgrace?

So funny, watching you socialist squirm, stammer, make excuses and suddenly finding a patriotic tone after decades of doing just what those fake conservatives are now doing to ya'll. There is not a dime's worth of difference between elitist Democrats and elitist Republicans except the former is socialist and the latter is fascist. The time is coming when both parties will fall and each party's propaganda machines such as you and Rush are completely missing the movement, which is by design.
The dumbing DOWN of the modern conservative movement . . . Buckley Goldwater Nixon's Southern Strategy Reagan (TALK) Religious right hijacks Jesus. GOP hijacks the flag. Limbaugh (MORE TALK) Bush/Cheney Palin Birthers Beck The abyss - Welcome conservatives! YOU ARE HERE!
Reagan is NOT what we need! You'll notice I put Goldwater near the top (PRIOR to most of the dumb down) - which took off on steroids with the election of Reagan.
Joe was talking about decent, moral, truly patriotic middle Americans, not the ones who look at everything in terms of dollars and cents. Limbaugh may have many sponsors and make a lot of money, but that's all he's about. He's a whore for the money, and he'll say anything and adopt any position that will guarantee him higher earnings. He could not give two shits about the Country or about Americans, and he's proven that conclusively on many occasions, this one being the latest.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i listen to him almost daily, sounds to me like middle america has his back. face it, the problem is not rush. the problem is the not insignificant portion of society that he appeals to. in the type of societies you and scarborough describe, such elements would be ostracized and shoved off the air, free speech not withstanding
you mean you don't listen to him? how do you take a position on what he's all about? you're no better than his followers then who refuse to listen to the other side and who he's thus readily able to manipulate with 10 second sound bytes
Hell no I don't listen to him regularly. I don't have to listen to each minute of each broadcast to know he's a vile, detestable, whore-monger, just like I don't have to listen to each one of Joseph McCarthy speeches to know he was a nutbag, or listen to every one of MLK's speeches to know that he preached conflict resolution through peaceful means.
that's why we lose arguments and end up throwing fits and storming out of discussions. btw if you did listen to those speeches, it'd be your prerogative, you'd be more informed & no one would call you an "acolyte" to one or the other
Who's the "we"? I agree that it is wise to know your enemy, but my point is I don't need to listen to Limbaugh everyday to know his tack and m.o. Why would I waste my time listening to lies and drivel for an hour everyday?
by the way you superficially skim over things, you dont even know what side i'm speaking from. that "drivel" you speak of almost derailed healthcare, the stimulus, tarp and confirming sotamayor. it's 3 hours a day not one & is too serious to be summed up in 30 seconds youtube bits. listen one week and see what i mean by middle america having his back and what power he wields
I know exactly what side you speak from, and it isn't one complimentary of Limbaugh. I've been familiar with Limbaugh long before youtube came into being, as I'm sure you have also (if you're really in your forties). My point is that I, or you don't have to listen to his full show daily to know what an ass he is. As I noted earlier it is important to know your enemy and I don't take Limbaugh lightly. I won't waste 3 hours a day listening to that fucking asshole. Life's too short.
Middle America has his back? His aprroval ratings are LOWEST among middle-class Americans. His base is upper-class fiscal conservatives and working-class cultural conservatives.
i'll believe it when i see it... if the ingrained images of the august townhall screamers and tea baggers is countered by, say, a good number of republicans swept out of the house and senate in 2010
lol, middle America could care less about rush limbo. he bagged on mccain for years and tried to prevent him from getting the nomination, and failed. then he failed to get his ticket elected. bullshit, rush limbo is a fat, disgusting NOTHING
MORONS LIKE YOU (BOOTS920) trivialize anything constructive and LEGITAMIT that Rep Paul has to offer us all. to say, when you are such vocal supporters of ron paul and then so vocal on the crazy issues and the shit that makes no sense. you run the risk of tainting ron paul with the crazies. stop this. any moron can google barack obama and find 50 websites posting it, do you want him to hand deliver it? please dissaccociate yourself with ron paul, its about ideas, not crazy loud idiots
Another good thing to look up is Garrison Keilor's "We're Not in Lake Wobegon Anymore." It's about how Republicans lost their compassion starting with when Reagan got in office. It's an excellent essay.
People around the globe are sick of Obama's arrogance, his chants, his cheerleading slogans. He's accomplished NOTHING. He can talk the talk (with a teleprompter) but he can't walk the walk because he's handicapped when it comes down to "Get 'er done!" Obama is just a DO-NOTHING spokesman that passes out Koolaid for the left-wing fucktards that can't think for themself
I don't understand why everyone likes to gloat about Obama using a teleprompter. It's the most effective piece of technology to use to deliver a speech / whatever and still look at the audience / camera. and you wrong about him being a spokesman for the left-wing. he hasn't done anything to please his base. you're right about him not doing much yet, but he's not being left-wing. he's just being nobody right now.
No, Dumbo, it's reactionaries in the US who hate Obama. It's Bush who was hated all over the world. Obama does not use a telepromter when he gives interviews and he does fine.
What is your source for the money spent? Also, the court case was dismissed and the lawyer threatened with sanctions by the judge for bring a frivolous suit.
Well Boots, what year did you decide that Bush wasn't going to do it for the USA? You pretend that you are not political...but lets face it...the Nigger from Kenya is far more important to talk about than health care and war, right? After 8 years of Bush, how could Obama not be the greatest thing that ever arrived???????? I mean compared to Bush...
Well Bush is a War Criminal the fact that he's still a free man means Obama has his back.
The two parties are like one happy family. Its rather messy isn't it but noticed even though the Geneva Convention and the US Constitution was tossed out there's no consequence to being a war criminal. Nixon was a War Criminal at least he got pardoned. Bush looks like he walks...
A defining moment for conservatives! As a bit left of center myself, although often for fiscal restraint, I'll no longer be so civil when a conservative questions my patriotism over -- for instance -- differences I have on certain uses of the military. The cheers at Americans for Prosperity for our losing the Olympics shows up conservatives who are ready to trash their country's interests for partisan gain. An iconic moment! I'll throw it up every time my patriotism is questioned.
This is not surprising. They acted much the same way when Clinton was in office. The only difference is the extent of their hatred and partisanship. It is so much greater than in the 90s. Of course, so far the GOP and conservatives haven't come up with an anti-Obama version of the Arkansas Project, which produced such fictional programs as The Clinton Chronicles and The Mena Connection. Although I have heard one conservative talk about another possible Business Plan against Obama.
When the GOP finds even a shred of 'evidence' they can use to impeach Obama, they'll go full speed ahead, no doubt. Remember all Ken Starr-Linda Tripp-Monica Lewinsky-Whitewater bs? And then they acquitted him in the end! If you're gonna waste time and money with impeachment, at least make sure you can get a guilty verdict and it's actually worth it, rather than saying "let's impeach him, even though we may acquit him in the end."
We must stand up to those who are standing in our way of real health care reform. Visit the comment section of my profile for ways in which you can get involved. Thanks.
When you are saying 'You are' you should write 'you're' not 'your'.
There are people around the world who see Palin supporters as a bunch of undereducated, white trash hics, with racist attitudes, religious platitudes and lots of guns. I have never seen anything to convince me otherwise.
That's just the latest in a series of right wing marketing slogans. People are sick of Republicans and sick of conservatism, so they have to pretend they're independents. Strangely enough, they still parrot the same old right wing talking points.
You know there's a joker on Fox who argues with Papantonio often who is one of those PRETEND independents HE claims he hates both sides but probably only got that way after November 4th. So they attack the GOP 15% of the time and attack Dems 85% of the time while claiming they are independent so they can't take ownership or have to be accountable for either platform.
I don't know, I think people are just getting tired of politics. It's always the same old thing, but nowadays the right is just getting virile, so no matter how much people dislike Obama, they're never going to endorse a swing to the right any time soon.

I watched that whole clip of Limbaugh and what they should was completely out of context. I am absolutely not a fan of Limbaugh or his crazy ideals, but he didn't call the country crappy. He was commenting from another countries point of view. He said Obama was was telling other countries that our country sucked, so why would they want to send the Olympics to such a "crappy" country. Again, I do not agree with Limbaugh, but they were trying to make it look like he said the US was crappy.
No they weren't, you've misunderstood the message. They were simply saying that if that had been Olbermann rejoicing in America losing the Olympics he would have been charged with treason. The whole "America is crappy" bullshit is just Republican nonsense.
NO you moron. Are you seriously that stupid? Every single except you understand clearly what Limbaugh meant. He was OBVIOUSLY saying that obama has been going around telling the world that America sucks, so why would they vote for a country where they have been told is a shitty place. We ALL got that moron. That isn't why this is an issue. The issue is that Limbaugh is having an orgasm over the fact that america lost because he doesn't care about america. He ONLY cares about Obama failing.
well if he is placing his desire for Obama to fail over his desire for america to succeed then that's obviously an issue. He just wants to prove to the world that he is right rather than other people to actually be happy. That is the root of the controversy.
no it wasn't COMPLETELY out of context. The context wasn't about usa being a crappy country. The context is him celebrating the usa not winning the olympic bid. By playing the section where he claims Obama is telling everyone the usa sucks when limbaugh THEN says "why send the olympics to a crappy country" it implies that the olympics didn't want to send the games here based on Obama's speeches about the usa for 9 months prior.
But they gave no supporting comments to support this assumption. Remember when Fox Cropped Obama to make it should like he contradicted himself on the Wright issue? They cropped him then they gave commentary supporting their misrepresentation. Joe's discussion about Limbaugh had nothing to do with what you are assuming. Because they would have been all over it.
limbaugh said he wishes that obama fails. Now obama did, at the cost of America not getting the olympics. The reason why this is even a controversy is because many republicans care more about their ideology crushing liberalism than the success of america. If they had a choice between A.) conservatism failing and America succeeding, and B.)liberalism failing and America failing also, they would choose option B. That is the core issue. They care less about america than about their ideology.

Now if it said, "Hurray! Hurray! Chicago loses.." he'd have a point but it didn't so he doesn't.
Then he splices several different portions of Rush's hours loing show together...one of which is a direct reference to the video of children that were forced to chant for Obama in a public school.
This is why Joe has the worst ratings, he's even lower now than Red Eye which is on at 3 am on Fox.
To suggest ratings numbers = truth is incredibly retarded. Most liberals I know hardly even watch television, if at all. Additionally, the wealthy and the elderly have more leisure time than the working or the youth, which is another explanation for the ratings.
P.S. step away from semantics- you look like a moron with your attempts at rationalizing.
Grasping at straws to rehabilitate your pedophile serial divorcee drug addict daddybones. You poor sap, just the kind of idiot that makes a Dittohead.
It was the Weekly Standard blogger, John McCormack, who followed up his "Chicago Loses!" tweet with "Cheers erupt at Weekly Standard!"
I think the "cheers erupt" comment is a pretty good indication that the folks at the Weekly Standard were in fact gleeful at the US losing out on hosting the Olympics.
Are you seriously this stupid and immature? I shouldn't ask that. Unlike you I have to go make dinner for my FAMILY and WIFE.
It must suck never having a girlfriend or someone who cares for you (other than your mother) mostecri.. Love ya idiotic comments..keep it up..it's amusing. Too bad I will not be responding b/c you've proved your worthless to talk to.
well, it's interesting that the leading voices of republicans are so far right that scarborough is having to question their bad judgment about certain issues. albeit, he does so delicately ...
you would think that the pro-patriotism/jingoism types would have backed off of this. it's sad that cheering obama's failure > desire to see our country host an olympics.
These people really disturb me. I get the impression that if god forbid another terrorist attack happened to America they would use it only for political reasons to go after Obama. It's sickening.
These Dem's really disturb me. I have the impression that if the Dem's pulled off a Gleiwitz type attack they would use it to consolidate power and oppress the American people.
But they will insist to this day that 9/11 was all Bill Clintons fault. Exsqueeze me? I didn't see Clinton sitting in on any Bush Admin National Security briefings.
Has it finally become obvious to everyone else yet? I have known for decades that modern republicans, Neo-Cons if you would, hate America. Sure, they wave flags, they quote (usually out of context) the founding fathers, they love the constitution and bill of rights (well, the parts about taxes and gun ownership mostly) and oh how they love the troops...till they discharge, but they really do NOT like America as it really is. They Love Ameridisney. Sanitized, snowy white and wealthy
They are just a piss pack of brats. They are like a pack of spoiled 14 year old girls who just got thwarted for the first time in their over indulged lives.
I have to give Scarborough credit. I haven't seen that kind of balance in a while. The wingnuts are going to have him for lunch. Redstate, Wizbang, Gateway Pundit and Weasel Zippers will all go out their way to rip him a new asshole. He's going to be taking some heat, but that's how conservatives will eventually get back in the majority in another eight years. They'll finally give up on the extremism of Reaganism just like they gave up on McCarthyism,

Rush Limbaugh speaks for himself. I do not consider Rush Limbaugh the spokesperson of the Republican Party. If Rush Limbaugh pulls his pants down on television and defecates, I will not consider it a reflection of the Republican Party.
If Bill O'Reilly speaks obscenely to someone over the telephone, it is not a reflection of the Republican Party or the "White Christian Establishment."
Rachael Maddow is not the spokesperson for Liberal Homosexual Democrats.
Well, you see, when you have no logical argument, when you have no facts to rely on, and you're a micropenised moron with latent pedophilia crawling around in your microbrain like some ugly cutworm, all you have is ad hominem.
And he, Rush Limbaugh, is the leader of the republican and tea parties... they follow his every word and action.... possibly including his drug use.

People around the globe are sick of Obama's arrogance, his chants, his cheerleading slogans. He's accomplished NOTHING. He can talk the talk (with a teleprompter) but he can't walk the walk because he's handicapped when it comes down to "Get 'er done!" Obama is just a DO-NOTHING spokesman that passes out Koolaid for the left-wing fucktards that can't think for themself

A defining moment for conservatives! As a bit left of center myself, although often for fiscal restraint, I'll no longer be so civil when a conservative questions my patriotism over -- for instance -- differences I have on certain uses of the military. The cheers at Americans for Prosperity for our losing the Olympics shows up conservatives who are ready to trash their country's interests for partisan gain. An iconic moment! I'll throw it up every time my patriotism is questioned.
grig035 2 years ago 4
This is not surprising. They acted much the same way when Clinton was in office. The only difference is the extent of their hatred and partisanship. It is so much greater than in the 90s. Of course, so far the GOP and conservatives haven't come up with an anti-Obama version of the Arkansas Project, which produced such fictional programs as The Clinton Chronicles and The Mena Connection. Although I have heard one conservative talk about another possible Business Plan against Obama.

When the GOP finds even a shred of 'evidence' they can use to impeach Obama, they'll go full speed ahead, no doubt. Remember all Ken Starr-Linda Tripp-Monica Lewinsky-Whitewater bs? And then they acquitted him in the end! If you're gonna waste time and money with impeachment, at least make sure you can get a guilty verdict and it's actually worth it, rather than saying "let's impeach him, even though we may acquit him in the end."

I watched that whole clip of Limbaugh and what they should was completely out of context. I am absolutely not a fan of Limbaugh or his crazy ideals, but he didn't call the country crappy. He was commenting from another countries point of view. He said Obama was was telling other countries that our country sucked, so why would they want to send the Olympics to such a "crappy" country. Again, I do not agree with Limbaugh, but they were trying to make it look like he said the US was crappy.

No they weren't, you've misunderstood the message. They were simply saying that if that had been Olbermann rejoicing in America losing the Olympics he would have been charged with treason. The whole "America is crappy" bullshit is just Republican nonsense.
wasdom01 2 years ago 5
NO you moron. Are you seriously that stupid? Every single except you understand clearly what Limbaugh meant. He was OBVIOUSLY saying that obama has been going around telling the world that America sucks, so why would they vote for a country where they have been told is a shitty place. We ALL got that moron. That isn't why this is an issue. The issue is that Limbaugh is having an orgasm over the fact that america lost because he doesn't care about america. He ONLY cares about Obama failing.
pokermaster54 2 years ago 2
"He ONLY cares about Obama failing."
I agree.
Mauhadeeb28 2 years ago
well if he is placing his desire for Obama to fail over his desire for america to succeed then that's obviously an issue. He just wants to prove to the world that he is right rather than other people to actually be happy. That is the root of the controversy.

By playing the section where he claims Obama is telling everyone the usa sucks when limbaugh THEN says "why send the olympics to a crappy country" it implies that the olympics didn't want to send the games here based on Obama's speeches about the usa for 9 months prior.

But they gave no supporting comments to support this assumption. Remember when Fox Cropped Obama to make it should like he contradicted himself on the Wright issue?

PoliticalSkeptic 2 years ago 2
limbaugh said he wishes that obama fails. Now obama did, at the cost of America not getting the olympics. The reason why this is even a controversy is because many republicans care more about their ideology crushing liberalism than the success of america. If they had a choice between A.) conservatism failing and America succeeding, and B.)liberalism failing and America failing also, they would choose option B. That is the core issue. They care less about america than about their ideology.

This is why Joe has the worst ratings, he's even lower now than Red Eye which is on at 3 am on Fox.

To suggest ratings numbers = truth is incredibly retarded. Most liberals I know hardly even watch television, if at all. Additionally, the wealthy and the elderly have more leisure time than the working or the youth, which is another explanation for the ratings.

It was the Weekly Standard blogger, John McCormack, who followed up his "Chicago Loses!" tweet with "Cheers erupt at Weekly Standard!"
