You know what really grinds my gears?
Two days ago, Joe Scarborough said some of the most vile, disgusting, racist and quite frankly, inhuman remarks that have ever crossed an MSNBC anchors lips. And this is the network that employed Don Imus and Pat Buchanan for years. It was honestly the most racist rant I have heard in a long time. Coming from the station that is supposed to "Lean Forward" their deafening silence, to me, means that they have absolutely no plans of reprimanding Joe Scarborough for his insensitive and asinine comments.
Its time to ask the question -- what the fuck is MSNBC supposed to be anyway? Their ratings have fallen to their lowest levels in a decade in October, and it is because MSNBC has absolutely lost its way as a center left news outlet, and has completely dropped the ball with their confusing bipartisany bullshit.
But the last straw is letting these vile and racist remarks stand. I cannot watch a news channel that would give such a racist man a microphone and allow him to spew shallow bullshit, then turn around and pretend to be a wonkish center left news outlet with a "Lean Forward" tag line. You know what, Phil Griffin and MSNBC, that slogan rings just as hollow as "Fair and Balanced".
And seriously, what the fuck is Morning Joe supposed to be, anyway? Seriously, what were the creators of this frakenshit morning show thinking? It seems like this is what they were going for -- and enranged right winger and his panel of softy left wing handlers. Its like Hannity and 10 Colmes in the Morning. What a fucking freakish way to wake up. Yeah I'll take my coffee with ten of your dumbest pundits all squabbling about shit they have never experienced. Thanks.
Luckily, #FireJoe has gained a bit of traction on twitter in the wake of Joe's ridiculous comments 2 days ago. Here are some of the best responses to Joe's nonsense I have found so far:
Totally agree on that point. Mika is just as complicit as Joe if you ask me. Sitting there mute while he implies Mike Brown is a thug is just as bad as saying it yourself. I would have fucking walked off that set personally. Stand up, Mika! Don't take his shit!
Lol good luck getting any of the progressive block to say anything. The progressive hosts are usually very tight lipped about Joe's little tirades.
oh and here is one of of my own tweeting under the name @FireJoeyS
If you are sick and tired of Joe Scarborough's racist bullshit and you think he deserves to be fired from MSNBC, please feel free to tweet @msnbc using #FireJoe or #firejoescarborough. I know its going to take more than that, but taking your anger to twitter seems like a good start.
