This diary will be short and to the point.
Joe Scarborough weighed in on the non-indictment of Darren Wilson with as much bullshit white privilege and internalized racism as any right wing nut job on fox news. We need to stop deluding ourselves that this guy is any fucking different from any other faux bobble head talking around the table on the set of fucking fox and friends.
He sat there like a fucking racist and called the "left's latching on to" of Mike Brown like the rights latching on to George Zimmerman in the wake of the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Florida, even, at one point, implying that Mike Brown was a thug. He used all the normal white trigger words that gets the racists in this country all riled up and frothy.
The sickening kicker was the take away Joey got from the video of the tragic shooting death of that young boy last week. His takeaway? -- the media is whipping up fear by making the case that cops disproportionately target black people, and implied that his own network had a hand in the terrible turn the protests took during the days after inept prosecutor Bob McCullough announced the Grand Jury's nondecision in the Mike Brown case.
These comments have made me absolutely ill. My view of Joe had really started to soften over the last couple of weeks...what a way to bring me back to reality there, Joe. Way to make me remember that you are republican, fully committed to the southern strategy and whipping up racist feelings in whites for votes.
Look, its time for this idiot to resign. He has never fit in at MSNBC, he has never fit in with the mainstream democratic or liberal view. I don't know why MSNBC is still fucking pretending to be this fair and balanced network because they put this smarmy looking starbucks drinking conservative asshole to look cool to the "both sides do it" crowd. These latest comments put him squarely in the fox news arena, and smashed any "moderate" creds he had just started to establish in my mind.
Joe, you make me fucking sick.
