Joe Scarborough needs to chill on this BS condscending of female coworkers.

[thepurpose]

He does it to Mika every fucking morning and this crap going on with Rachel is just plain blanted.

[sandnsea]

1. Oh for the love of god, what bullshit

I hate Joe Scarborough but there was nothing sexist in that conversation.

[thepurpose]

5. I didn't say sexist. Watch when ever rachel says something he turns to Pat and tries to cut her off

like what she is saying is not important. Its almost like he says let the men talk her rachel.

[sandnsea]

10. And that would be sexist if he did that

But he didn't.

[Roxy66]

15. are you kidding me...I guess a man may see it that way.

[sandnsea]

18. I'm a woman

they were all just blathering away, nobody was rude to Rachel. I am sick of this sexist whining.

[thepurpose]

20. Do you know the difference between sexist and condescending? If you do, stop saying sexist.

[sandnsea]

23. If he's only condescending to female coworkers

Then that's sexist.

[Unsane]

2. I do think he's kind of mean to Mika

[Kaylee]

13. I think so too.

He's so abrasive and domineering, I had to stop watching after a few days.

[MadMaddie]

3. He hates it because she is smarter than he is (I mean since he

is as dumb as a rock)....but anyhoo.

What the Hell is wrong with Buchanan....his argument of what is wrong with scaring the American people into voting for a candidate.....uh dumbass the last seven years is what's wrong.

[Recursion]

4. Didn't he kill his intern? (nt)

[Oceansaway]

8. i've heard thats why they

call him 'dead intern Joe'.....

[Window]

6. I didn't hear the exchange, but he's an asshole...all the time with everyone.

[K Gardner]

7. She needs to punch him. It is absolutely infuriating. He was horrible to Mika this morning and has

been terribly condescending to Rachel tonight.

[thepurpose]

14. Thank you. I wish every morning that Mika would punch him in the face for the way he treats her.

Mika makes his fucking show. Without her you just have stupid comments from Joe.

[hiaasenrocks]

28. Why are you diminishing those women as though they can't stand up for themselves?

Such is the bullshit double-standard of political correctness.

[islandmkl]

9. Joe is a dumbass and knows it...

he has to talk over people so they can't make their points (making him look as dumb as he is), belittle 'the girls' like some schoolboy who doesn't know how to relate to the opposite sex, and, all the while, thinking he is 'cute' or 'charming'...


and there are people who think Joe is a f***ing intellectual!!

Thanks MSNBC...you might catch Faux, yet...

[soleft]

11. Can't wait for him to go to bed and Nora to take his place

She gives Rachel room to expound.

[Roxy66]

12. I have wanted to write a letter to MSNBC about how Joe just looks past her all the time

Joe is a dick-wad!!

[Johnny__Motown]

16. He must be intimidated., because they are both so much smarter than he is

[Debi]

17. Oh bullshit - he argues with them the same way that he argues with any of the men on the show

Neither Mika or Rachel needs to be treated with kid-gloves.

Joe's an asshole, but he's an equal opportunity asshole - not a sexist one.

That's MO

[thepurpose]

19. Yea right. He turns his back and threatens to backhand Pat Buchann every day. Give me break.

[islandmkl]

21. now, that's a good thought....

i'm no fan of pat's, but now that you mention it, i wish joe would just lose himself and bitch-slap pat once, just once....


for a moment or two, i would be pat's number one fan...

can we do pay-per-view?

[Debi]

29. Now you're just telling lies

give it up.

[K Gardner]

22. I don't use the word "sexist", its overused. I just think Mika and Rachel need to push back harder.

He really does run over them both and it makes me a bit queasy to watch it.

[chascarrillo]

24. I'll go ahead and say it. He's a sexist little piece of crap..

No need to mince words. He's a sexist twerp, and why any news organization has him on the payroll is a mystery by me. (Also see: Beck, Carlson, Dobbs.)

[Debi]

26. Okay you say it!

:thumbsup:

Now back it up.

Prove that he talks over the women on his show more than he talks over the men.

He blows off/argues with Mika and Rachel as much as he argues with/blows off Willy and Eugene and anyone else who doesn't agree with what he's saying.

That's not sexism - that's just his big-ass ego at work.

But if it makes you feel better to see sexism where it doesn't exist - then you embrace it and own it! :woohoo:

[chascarrillo]

30. Do I need to delve into the etymology of "backhand"?

I will if you'd like. So, yeah, I embrace and own my characterization of him.

[Debi]

31. Please do so

I'll wait here.

[chascarrillo]

32. A man says "Don't make me backhand you" to a woman, and that's not sexist?

:wtf:

Wait here all you want. If you don't see the blatantly blatant misogyny in that statement, I simply don't know what on earth I could say to you.

[Debi]

25. He also runs over Willy and Eugene and anyone else not named Pat Buchanan

It's not about the women on the show.

[hiaasenrocks]

27. Get over yourself. If you don't like it, don't watch.

Your post is just as sexist, demeaning Mika as though she couldn't stand up for herself when she needs to. Give me a break. Pathetic.
