Scarborough just said he would sleep better at night knowing Kerry

[merh]

was in the WH. He said he might disagree with 90% of his stances on the issues, but he would feel confident with him in the WH after hearing the Rev. crew member endorse him and speak of his efforts in VietNam. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[greenbriar]

1. was he being

sarcastic?


scarbreath is a jerk

[merh]

10. He was being serious, one of the panelist even commented that

it was the closest thing to an endorsement from Scarborough for Kerry that he ever heard, then of course Tweety cut him off and switched to another set....

[merh]

27. He seemed sincere - it was kind of spooky. The reverend's speech

moved him. :shrug:

[ObaMania]

48. I shit when he said that...

.. I don't know if it was because Andrea Mitchell was making him look/feel stupid all night, or if he was really impressed by WJC characterization of him.

He also carried on with the "sleep better at night.." thing through his after hours show with Ron Reagan.

Maybe he's trying to appeal to a more diversified audience now since he knows that the next 4-8 years it's going to be tough trying to push conservative views/hate every night.

I DO believe he was sincere though!

[info being]

54. He was sincere. The first time ever I've seem him actually

HUMBLE and SINCERE. He seemed almost human.

[Selwynn]

57. I wish I had a transcript of that.

2. good.

You don't know how right you are, Doc! He said this on Hardball on May 1, 2003:

"We’re proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who’s physical, who’s not a complicated guy like Clinton or even like Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who’s president. Women like a guy who’s president. Check it out. The women like this war."


:wow:

32. Tweety also marvels at how "good George looks in jeans"

:)

[kskiska]

46. Tweety also admired Howard Dean's

manly forearms. Tweety's got issues. I think he's got the hots for Arnold, too.

[Robin Hood]

39. Jeezus H Christ!!

Tweety said that?!! The dude is insane.

[Walt Starr]

3. OMFG!!!! ARMAGEDDON IS UPON US!!!!

Joe (dead intern) Scarborough actually said something good about a Democrat?

Isn't that the sixth sign of the apocalypse?

[kwolf68]

4. Sarcasm

No way the Leopard can change his spots this quick.

It took me between 3 and 5 years to move from the right to the left...trust me, its a long process of withdrawl symptoms, sleepless nights and misgivings about the world around us.

Joe is up 2 somethin'.

[StandUpGuy]

11. I'd be interested in reading a 'how it turned into a Lefty post.

I might let a few Righties read it to ease their fears.

[kwolf68]

16. I am here to serve

Already beat you to the punch. Here is my article posted here on DU sometime ago.

[StandUpGuy]

24. sweet thanks n/t

[merh]

14. He is speaking positively about Kerry, in times of trouble folks want a

steady hand at the wheel.... The others are attacking him.

[3trievers]

19. It took me between 3 and 5 years to move from the right to the left

It took me four and I still can't believe I was a rabid right winger.I remarked to my wife that four years ago I wouldn't have been caught dead watching the democratic party convention.Love or hate Bill Clinton,man can he ever deliver a speech.

[NightTrain]

5. Scarborough said that about Kerry?!

Hell has officially frozen over!

[info being]

55. Yes, that was the most shocking thing I heard all night

My wife and I were stunned to hear Scarborough say that. He was very sincere.

[Literate Tar Heel]

6. um ... no cheneying way in hell

next thing you'll tell me, Ann Coulter is dating Dennis Kucinich

[Fone Book]

9. HAHAHA lol n/t

[GoneOffShore]

18. She eats raw meat

no way Dennis would go there.

[jmags]

7. He also said every American

who believed Bill Clinton when he talked of balancing the budget was stupid, right after Clinton finished speaking. Imagine at the Repub convention, after their highest profile speaker comes on, a news network putting a liberal on to say that anyone who believed him was stupid.

I think he should get fired.

[k in IA]

8. I listened to him and it was quite an endorsement but did he say "better"

or just that he essentially wouldn't have trouble sleeping with Kerry in as Prez?

They could actually use it as a campaign commercial (except nobody cares what Scarborough thinks)for Kerry.

[geomon666]

12. Scar-muderer is dirt!

I wouldn't believe him if he told me he would kill while he held a knife against my throat.


Then again......maybe I would.:beer:

[zydeco]

13. I wish someone would ask scarborough what he thinks

would have happened to the man that Kerry turned his swiftboat around for if he had first sat down, with a dumb smirk on his face, for seven lonnng minutes before taking action.

[LuLu550]

17. Now that the blood is in the water, you'll see a lot of people switching

nobody wants to be aligned with the loser.

Especially when the winner can make it very diffcult for you stay in business. Everybody thinks that the mainstream media will attack President Kerry as viciously as they did President Clinton. But if Kerry were to start dropping hints about reinstating the Fairness Doctrine or having his FCC do a "study" of the relationship between big business and big media, things would get "fair and balanced" again in a BIG hurry!!!

[merh]

52. I like your suggestion, I hope Kerry does just that. n/t

20. Kick and Kick Again n/t

[physioex]

21. Sorry folks don't get your hopes about Scarborough moving left....

He can't say bad things about Edwards because they are both lawyers. This is a touchy topic and he has to tread lightly. So don't any of you here sit around holding your breath that things are shifting as far as he is concerned....

[merh]

22. That wasn't what the point of my post was. I posted because I was

shocked that he softened, yes, that's true. But what got to him was Kerry's crew member, the reverend. He was truly reacting to the reverend's speech and he remarked that the bravery of man at such a young age stays with him all of his life and makes and molds the man. If this speech affected Scarborough, just imagine how many on the fence it might have affected.

If you had seen his face, it was weird and he did appear sincere.

:shrug:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

23. Wow, WTF

WTF is going on?

[JohnKleeb]

34. it seems to me Margaret like hell has frozen over

hah, sorry Maggie, I just josh when I call you Margaret, I dont know what the fuck is going on but something is up, and I think we are all gonna be celebrating in January.

[Gloria]

25. I heard him say that in times of change, people vote for someone

steady. It was part of a bit about whether being in war was a big factor in elections. Scarborough mentioned Nixon after the mess of LBJ's VietNam problem...

He clearly indicated that Kerry would represent a steady hand....

Earlier, Fineman also mentioned this..he said Clinton had given Kerry his identity.....as a "steady hand"....

Now THAT was a fun freeper read! I can't say that too often, either.

They are just shitting their pants, aren't they? And with good damn reason, too. Their little rat boy is TOAST.

I can feel it and smell it in the air and I'm right here in his SUPPOSED home state of Texas (my ass he's a Texan).

[merh]

30. YESSSSSSSSSSS -- his base is turning on him. heeehehhehhheeeee

:bounce: The crazy media will be out of work.

The weed that would be king out of office and the talking evil RW heads out of work!! How wonderful.

[kwolf68]

31. Why do people post Free Republic Trash

It is totally hilarious those clowns ragging Kerry being in Vietnam...some saying he "only stayed 4 months" and others saying he "put his men in danger"...yada yada yada

What the hell was their guy doing?

Are they this stupid to rip Kerry's service when they have a complete putz as a candidate?

If I was one of them I'd keep my Mfing mouth shut about service in the military. Leading Democrats like Kerry, Dick Gephardt, Tom Daschle and others served while leading Republicans like Bush, FU Cheney, Tom Delay, Trent Lott and most of the entire lot dodged wars in one way or another.

This is the most disgusting thing about the Republicans...They don't mind sending your kids off to war so they can thumb a bible and wave a flag under a drunken stupor of jingoistic zeal in hoping to win votes from the Toby Keith crowd.

At the end of the day they are all cowardly and hypocritical assholes.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

37. Uh - for comic relief. I love it when they get their panties in a bunch.

Don't read the posts if you don't like them.

I never watch Faux News as well, but sometimes when you drive by a car wreck you can't help but look.

33. Barnacle just got to the point of doubting his profession

he gushed about Clinton...

whoah, weird night for the MSNBC boys...

[merh]

38. Maybe we should buy them some chapstick and send it to them

in preparation of the ass kissing they will start doing to try to make amends. :shrug:

[mellowinman]

35. Scarborough is a disgusting, perverted murderer...

but this is beyond fucking funny.

Talk about unraveling freepers!

[The Blue Knight]

36. An old saying comes to my mind...

Something about a rat leaping from a sinking ship.....

[JerseygirlCT]

50. Forgive my stupidity, but what's the murder thing?

Did I miss something about him entirely? Fill me in, please! Thanks.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

41. They're complaining about George Will and Kristol. Did they jump over too?

I knew that Krostol is usually "fair" but George Will???

[merh]

42. They were complaining about O'lliely too!

And they were saying that the rats are jumping ship!!!!!!
heeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeeeeeeee

[kerry-is-my-prez]

43. check this post out: woman saying that Bush admin. staffers planning exit

"I was at a recent conference on election law and got into a discussion on the positives/negatives of the Bush campaign and his chances for re-election. I haven't been thrilled with the rope-a-dope strategy and a bunch of us were going back and forth. A bit later, I overheard a woman who had been saying Bush was a goner getting lectured by another woman who said, "You really shouldn't be saying Bush can't win to the base like that. They're the one's who need to be energized and working hard. BUT you're right, you know. I work at an investment banking firm and do a lot of business in DC and was told that many low level members of the administration have been told to plan their 'exit strategy' and have been sucking up to the Dems and Kerry people in hopes of staying on next year." I stood there thinking to myself that it looks like there will be a lot of jumping ship if Bush doesn't pull ahead in the polls soon. I don't think the confidence is there to wait for a late surge in Sept/Oct."

[merh]

44. HOLY SH**!!! You have to make that a post for all to read....

We know how good the repukes are with exit strategies so there are some unemployed folks that Kerry will have to worry about finding jobs for in 2005.

Exit strategies, heeeheee, will Tweety have to develop one? I hope so.

[info being]

56. So they admit their ship is sinking:)

[playahata1]

49. George Will and Bill Kristol are too good for those people.

If Freepers can indeed be called people.

[Bandit]

53. Kristol made the comment on the Daily Show that he could be truthful

there since he was out of Washington. Jon had asked him why we should rehire a guy that had driven the Country over the edge. Kristol said he knew of no reason. Then made the comment about being truthful since he was out of Washington.
