On Race to the White House, Joe Scarborough interupts Rachel Maddow, and gets a little pissy when called out for it, and if I'm not mistaken, it looks like he stormed off the set as well.

1. Listening to Joe...

...I've learned how the GOP will go after Obama.

They've done this before.

In fact, they do it to the Democratic party all the time.

They will repeat a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear%2C_uncertainty_and_doubt">doubt about an aspect of their target, regardless of the reality.

For the party, they repeat the lie that "demorcats (sic) have no plans". For Obama, they will repeat the lie that "no one knows him". This will be twisted into "you can't trust him".

Obama supporters, this is a warning shot.

Scarborough has foisted this up the flag pole to see which sheep salute.

Hope you can combat this.

I'll be trying to figure it out too. Even though, I haven't sided with either Democratic candidate, I can say unequivocally I do not support the party of war mongers.

6. Thanks for the warning

But with all the shit McCain has been saying and the lobbyist he hangs around with I don't think the "No One Knows Him" is gonna do it. Apparently some bad people know him and that is now old news. Not that it won't come up again but people aren't going to buy it. I think this is going to be Clinton/Dole all over again. I sure wish the dead intern would come back to haunt Joe. He seems to have a problem with women in general. He walks all over Mica in the morning and despises Rachel because she is smart. I would love to see Joe as someones bitch.

7. But no one is saying that.

The media is GOP-controlled, they will do what their bosses tell them to do.

And if the message is: "bash liberals" that's what they're going to do.

Simple as that.

Joe has sent up a trial balloon to see how the message works.

It's all a part of the GOP's favorite tactic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_fear#Fear.2C_uncertainty_and_doubt">fear, uncertainty and doubt.

Just remember, the message is not for us; it's for the undecided, or independents.

I am only guessing with this, but as soon as Ralph Nader starts repeating it, then it's likely to be valid.

2. He knows the Maddow will soon have his Job!

8. Never happen

but the look on Joe's face when he lit into her was chilling. Wow, I was stunned to see how intimidating, and a little threatening he was in that segment and I'm no fan of Ms. Maddow. Closet abuser came to mind. By the way, I'm a fan of Joe in the sense that I always considered him a fair person, but this really stood out as it was kinda like experiences I've been through. Abuse and domestic terrorism can never be presented to the general public in a soundbite. It can be very complicated. Makes me wonder if it can manifest itself in one's professional life? Frightening to watch and contemplate, all things considered.

16. abuser--not necessarily in the closet. (there was his secretary

or someone who worked for him who died this weird, mysterious death--in her office)

i think he has a problem with rachel, in part, because she's a woman and also because she is gay.

he's such an asshole!

[goclark]

18. And she is so much smarter than Mourning Joe

I will be so happy when she gets her own show.

What can we do to make that happen?

[D23MIURG23]

3. Maddow knows how to fight these guys.

Its refreshing to see her on these segments, because she good at dismantling whatever ridiculous frame job an issue is being given. She wields inconvenient facts like a warhammer.

[bdamomma]

13. and we know how the righties hate facts.

[jgraz]

4. OT, but Harold Ford is one slimey little lizard, isn't he?

[goclark]

5. Rachael is class all the way and Joe is a bitter and angry

man.

What was the story about that intern that died in his office? He needs to answer to that since he is so busy putting down others.

I've noticed that he seems to be edgy on his own show.
There is some really bad blood with Mica that I did not noticed before.

Mica is the daughter of Brezinski (sp.), I remember that he was bragging about that when Morning Joe got started.
This week she was praising McCain like he was God.

I was shocked because I thought she was Fair and Balanced.

What's his story now?

[dbmk]

9. The story about his intern

is probably exactly why he didn't like where where Maddow was going.

Digging up old stuff on those that has been in the business for a while? Uhuh..

[krkaufman]

10. Everybody needs to send Joe some Kleenex

... to dry-up his whiny little boy tears. What a petulant child. *HE* interrupts Rachel in Crossfire fashion, as he is accustomed to doing, but she refuses to allow it; and then he comes back whining about not doing "Crossfire" debates. Except that's ALL he does on his show; it's all blowhard, all the time.

I think he's just getting tired of being shown-up intellectually by a woman and MSNBC newbie, and thinks he warrants better treatment. Too bad for Joe that Rachel isn't an Alan Colmes clone.

11. p.s. This video doesn't make Joe's abrupt exit as obvious.

I've seen another where you can hear Scabby pulling off his mic before his disappearance.

19. i noticed he wasn't on david gregory's show today...i wonder why...n/t

[theFrankFactor]

12. Joe's Got Mommy Issues. (eom)

[Marie26]

14. "I don't mean to be condescending..."

Ugh. He's very creepy in that clip.

[ScarletSniper]

15. Joe is so transparent, he's clear.

[Corgigal]

17. We DON"T know McCain

The first time he ran for President and the one who is running now are not the same person. I guess we need The Daily Show to put a clip together to prove this point. Obama's people should already know this.
