Listening to; Unchain My Heart - Ray Charles
I am truly sick of the media hyperbole steering this election into the toilet! This is ridiculous. There were absolutely no racial overtones to Joe Biden's comments. I'm Black! This is media distortion - being eloquently used by the Romney campaign. Mark Halpern and Joe Scarbourough are indicative of those media opportunists who exaggerate certain outtakes to support their own political ideology. I'm thoroughly sick of it, on both sides and all over. I listen to Joe criticize this method every morning, then hypocritically engage in exactly the same thing he criticizes. Pitiful and disgraceful. The rational voices this morning are Mike and Jonathan. And yes, the Soptic ad is trash and the Obama campaign is stupid not to disown it and get it thrown out. I am disappointed by all of this - but particularly you Joe.
I can see we the truly righteous could be outraged by the Veep's clever turn of a phrase in front of that particular audience, but with the economic oppression foisted on the 98%ers by the 2%ers, the US rapidly devolving into a nation of "wage slaves" working for the "corporations are people too" crowd. Couple that with the national Republican voter oppression coordinated campaign (voter roll purges, ID laws, restricting early voting) I'm not so sure that I would give the Veep more than a funny glance for making such a remark. Its food for thought, really. And the Romney cabal are not whom I would consider "truly righteous."
"Do unto others" is lost on the political stage. One side seems love the gutter more. One side seems to believe you speak and infer a different tone, because of ones skin tone. Because they want to keep segragated one class, one race, one man from the other. Respect seems only to be expected in the hallowed halls of Congress..that said, what do these superior beings believe "we the common folk" to be? Gutter politics does give us a clear choice, of how we want to be treated, who we would perfer to believe, and in who shares our likeness... Sadly, MLK's dream for all humanity..gets buried in the mud, with those who choose to mud wrestle, rather than make a better vessel for a better tomorrow.
I'm loving it! Joe is actually blaming consultants for republican actions! LOL he's not blaming republicans - it's the fault of consultants! LOL. Why? Because Republicans have no backbone to stand up to consultants? LOL. Oh, my side hurts.
How do you fight voter suppression? REGISTER and VOTE! DO IT!
So the Morning Joe crew of silver spoons didn’t think it was IMPORTANT to point out how wong the Romney Medicare ad is? That the 700 billion to make the system more efficient for the PEOPLE? The cuts are so the insurance companies don’t get extremely rich from being the middle man between a patient and doctor?
That’s the problem with the 4th Estate. They used to be obligated to keep the people informed and in turn the people allowed news organizations to use our PUBLIC BROADCAST AIRWAVES! Joe is right, Ryan can win if the Conservative wackos like Joe keep lying and playing their **** dirty tricks. KARMA is going to be a real b****, mofo’s.

Listening to "Unchain My Heart"' by Ray Charles. This not a racial Statement!
It's the Media Stupid!! That is who promotes so much hate and anger and division; Thank you Lawrence O'Donnel when you said you did not run the story about 'unchained' on your show. You did not because you have shown that you do not like racism, hate, divisiveness and you do not encourage it. Joe Scarborough is running the story and will talk about it for 3 hours because he loves to encourage hate; and thinks it helps his candidate. Romney saying the Whitehouse has gone 'to a lower' point; 'discrediting the Presidency'? Hell, men like Romney have been saying that since the night of the election when the President gave his victory speech. It is a perception by many and needs no actions from this great and proud, and over-worked, constantly bashed, President, to validate their sick perceptions.
joe scaborough is a two faced two tongue politician as usual and he is a absolutely an obama hater he has shown it evry day.and mark halpern refered to the president as a dick earlier this year, where did nbc get that racist from??.
nbc.com should revise morning joe to morning= mika and send joe scaborough to fox that is where he belong.
Listening to Democratic Congressman Chris Van Hollen- ranking member on the Budget Committee, on the Morning Joe Show. The Obama campaign should put him in an "Affordable Health Care Act", and Medicare ad, and let him explain it. He has made more sense talking about it, (other than the President) than all the other campaign team members that I have listened to. Thank you Congressman Chris Van Hollen! Continue the good work!
i love chris mathew for his fairness and liberalism, but please if you are a democrat stop giving republicans those great ideas like you did yesterday. love you chris i am your number one baltimore fan.
STOP IT CHRIS::: on morning joe stop giving republicans good ideas that is a hatchet job for joe scaborough...
Hello mika brezinski you are the spike on morning joe ..keep it up
ok joe you said wine and cheese people did not vote for you .?? how about cavier and champaign guys, did not the koch brothers know you then??????????.
hi face book family and friends i'am watching and commenting live on morning joe msnbc check out politics-nation at 6:pm and let's talk ---luv.
Horrible 10 minutes with Reince, that interview hit rock bottom.
ANY time with Rancid Pubis is horrible. Where do these people come from!?!
Joe this Morning You let Preiebus come on and talk literal Garbage. Mitt has told us no specifics. Were has the integrity gone. Both of these campaigns have been dirty. Joe your the first to call out Obama, Republican I get it. the LIES that Romney's campaign are spreading, if you call out one then use your righteous indignation for both. We expect this on program to be fair and the last two weeks it sure hasn't been. Buckup and straighten up!
I am loving this. Paul Ryan is a knucklehead. I cracked up when Mika suggested this morning that the campaign has gotten to Ryan...it is not he campaign, this happens when you are not telling the truth...his entire body language was indicating he was not comfortable with what he was saying. Liar. In regard to Willard the Rat's comment on the Obama campaign using anger and hate, well it is about time. Republicans not only have embarrassed this country with their total lack of respect for this President on a regular basis, but their hate and ignorance for anyone who is different from them. Being a black female it is interesting to see hate and anger being thrown to Prez Obama, when this is all the republicans know, and now they have a VP choice whose mentor is a Russian aetheist-Ayn Rand. Are you kidding me? The republicans are a joke and a disgrace. Pathetic!
I am loving this! I cracked up when Mika suggest that the campaign has gotten to Paul Ryan. Really? He was telling a lie outright, that is why he was stuttering and stammering his way through that pitiful interview. Willard the rat then has the audacity to suggest that the Obama campaign are using hate and anger. Maybe he has been offshore for the last three years, but the Republican party has disrespected this President ever since he took office and it is about time he defends himself. Then they choose a VP he has a mentor-Ayn Rand who was a Russian atheist? Are you kidding me? Lord help us all! Pathetic.
Im always amazed at how concrete the minds of liberals are. How they can speak out of both sides of their mouths, as needed. How they can morph into being black, that would make a good man like MLK shutter. How they can use a persons death, as if Mr Romney killed her, without conscience, or regret. The President wanted to incite a war on the classes..he was classless enough, that it was easy for him to make it his idea of hope. What the Dems will never have, no matter how much Hollywood supplies them their bling..is integrity. Obamas people, dont have a clue to the meaning of that word. Nor do his supporters. Pity!
