Way to go Rush! Joe sold out a long time ago. He started being a RHINO to keep his prime time show and has gotten much worse since getting the Morning Gig. He and the pretentious Mika Brezenski.

Greg Gutfeld has not only sold more books than Joe, but his show, RED EYE, also beats Joe in the ratings. ha ha What’s that say about Morning Joe ;).

Way to go for what? Rush Limbaugh is a condescending, uneducated, drug addicted, blowhard who is only destroying the Republican Party’s reputation, and projects his hate onto anybody who even dares to be to the left of him. Joe Scarborough is a former republican congressman who has ALWAYS looked out for the best interest of his party, and more people respect him than Limbaugh would ever wish to get. Just because millions of people listen to his show doesn’t mean he is more respected… once again, Scarborough is a former congressman and he was elected there by the party because he was doing some good for the party. Limbaugh hasn’t done anything good in his life for his party let alone his well-being.

And to claim Scarborough is a RINO is down-right ridiculous. If you know ANYTHING about politics and the issues, you would know that Scarborough is to the right on ALL of the issues a typical conservative would be. Just because he doesn’t agree with Rush Limbaugh doesn’t make him any less of a conservative, especially since Limbaugh is not a true conservative, he is a neo-conservative. So is Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and many other bombastic anchors and talk show hosts on the right. And just because a republican criticizes his party or someone on the right does not mean they are all of a sudden liberal or trying to move the party to the right… they are trying to bring the party to its conservative roots like it was since the inception of a two-party system. The more the party goes to the right, as Limbaugh, Beck and Hannity want, the more of a minority they will become.

You have a lot to learn about true Conservatism, Capt. Rush Limbaugh is an irrelevant figure on the right and he is only seen as a joke by the masses. If you want to get real, true conservative values, you listen to the real Republicans with real credentials to make substantiated claims, not relying on entertainment figures trying to get ratings.

CORRECTION: “and he was elected there by the people”, not party.

Yeah, but if Rush was a real Republican, he’d be serving his time in prison for being one of the pill-popping druggie criminals he’s constantly railing against. Too bad he didn’t try very hard to disagree with the bleeding-heart who let him off the hook.

By the way, what the hell does Greg Gutfeld have to do with anything? Gutfeld is a clown among clowns. Extremely unfunny, a loser with no political knowledge whatsoever, and looking at the books he has written (two editions of “Lessons from the Land of Pork Scratchings”… whatever that is, and some books on keeping score on relationships and on the job… wow).

Gutfeld is not even on Scarborough’s level… he shouldn’t even be put into the same sentence as a Republican congressman. Gutfeld is a joke and a fraud who wouldn’t know politics if it bludgeoned over the head. Case and point would be watching his show that gets ratings because he has a bunch of morons watching who hate the “liberal bias” at comedy central, so his terrible program is a good alternative for the teabaggers and nutjobs.

Only educated people will listen to what a Republican congressman says because the uneducated wouldn’t be able to comprehend most of it.

Obama should be in jail for his drug use! Obama didn’t get addicted because of back surgery and being given RX drugs by a doctor.

What’s Gutfeld have to do with it? Even his show crushes Morning Joe in the ratings!

Oh Captain, my captain:

“Obama didn’t get addicted because of back surgery and being given RX drugs by a doctor.”

I thought personal responsibility was a conservative value, but I guess our party values don’t apply to the blowhards shouting them with a megaphone.

Someone! Arrest Limbaugh’s back doctor for performing the surgery and getting him hooked on drugs!

Stupid…

Why doesn’t Joe come over to FNC and be successful like Beck did? Yeah, Beck is a lightning rod all right…which I’m sure bothers him every trip to the bank.

Joe’s opinions change with the wind. He is now, and forever will be, an unbelievable hack. And 9 out of 10 folks who want to rail about how great Joe is, only think so because they’re way out on the left, but (just like everything else) insist they “know” the truth about everyone and everything. Read a little about Joe’s past, and then tell me if you think he’s so great.

I do not understand what happened to Joe. He used to be a solid conservative. He had brass gonads and would stand up to any lefty. Now, he just melts. I guess Rush is right (as usual) about Scarborough being a neutered metro sexual girly kind of a man. Too bad. He used to be good.
As for some ones comment about personal responsibility. I believe that Rush paid for his own treatment for his addiction, worked his recovery program successfully. There really is nothing else a man can do.
It Obama’s thing was street drugs. No Dr’s involved. Just Obama and his pusher(s). He seems to have got passed that as well. Wish he could get a handle on the honesty part of your typical 12 step program.

Well, Chuck… street drugs and cigarettes. I wonder if he’ll be willing to tax himself (or punish himself another way) for costing more healthcare dollars with his habit.

But anyway… Joe is only doing this to gain an audience for his show. A lefty attacking a righty… eh, little news. A righty attacking a lefty… no news. But a righty attacking another righty… now there’s a story the media loves to cover! Joe needs eyes and ears… Rush is just an attempt to woo them.

First of all, Capt: using your logic that Greg Gutfeld beats Morning Joe (which are in COMPLETELY different time slots, by the way) means I can point out that countdown obliterates Campbell Brown and every other CNN show. So how is that any different? And he crushes those programs more than red eye beats Morning Joe. Red Eye’s ratings aren’t even crushing them… Morning Joe gets 382k in total and red eye gets 433k. WOW… what domination. LOL… please.

Second, responding to “ChrisNH”: Scarborough doesn’t want to go to Fox News because he knows that almost nobody there is looking in the best interest of the country, and instead they THINK they are looking for the best interest of the Republican Party, which ironically is destroying the party itself. Scarborough doesn’t believe in the tactics fox news uses, and he is not a neo-conservative like many of them. Scarborough is a true Conservative and he doesn’t praise the republicans on every single little thing they do. He criticizes them when they aren’t following the traditional conservative way, which he knows all about. Furthermore, Scarborough doesn’t care about what ratings he gets. That is ALL what Beck cares about, and he is a clown because of it. Scarborough isn’t like Beck at all and never wants to be like him. He will never sell his soul to the devil known as fox news, and I commend him for that. Joe doesn’t care about the millions he makes and the popularity he has… he cares about the people more. By the way, Scarborough uses the same train of thought that Alan Colmes does for being at Fox. He doesn’t want to preach to the choir all the time, and instead, he wants to deal with opinions that oppose him, and it works out for both of them. The obvious choice would be for those two to switch sides, but they choose not to. I lean to the left, and I watch Scarborough every morning. I disagree with him 90% of the time, but still enjoy watching.

And, as for ImNotBlue: I can’t disagree with you that he is a hack, because that is your opinion. I personally like him because he doesn’t shove his opinion down everybody’s throat like Limbaugh, O’Reilly, Beck and Hannity do. And I like the dissenting opinion I hear from him… I appreciate it because it’s sensible. He gives legitimate criticisms of President Obama and of the Democratic Party. But the others all force you to agree with them, and if you don’t, you are considered “far-left” or too liberal… as if they are so truly conservative, which they aren’t. And I am certainly not far-left… I consider myself a libertarian that agrees with some liberal positions and a few conservative ones.

wow, Chuck, you are seriously misinformed and clearly know ZERO about Scarborough or his program or the opinions he states. He just melts? You’re joking, right? so when he was debating back and forth with Max Blumenthal regarding the Republican Party, did he just melt and agree with him? No, he went at it with him in a frankly tense and awkward discussion. In fact, if I remember correctly, Mediaite documented it. You might want to check it, and the video out.

http://www.mediaite.com/print/definition-of-tense-joe-scarborough-vs-max-blumenthal/

on top of that one, he has also had sparring matches with Mika, who is an EXTREMELY timid and weak minded liberal, if you want to call her that, which would be tough to prove when seeing her fawn of Laura Bush, agree with Pat Buchanan (another real traditional conservative) and praising Sarah Palin so much. David Shuster has also come in the cross hairs with Joe. Need anymore examples? I will be glad to give them.

That’s true, Red Eye has about the worst time slot of all and it beats MJ and American Morning…and everything on CNBC all day and most everything on … well you know the drill.

means I can point out that countdown obliterates Campbell Brown and every other CNN show.>>

Greg Gutfeld beats CB in the “demo”. And Keith loses alot of the time to Nancy Grace and other shows in the “demo” so you can’t make that comment.

But at least Joe isn’t vastly overpaid like Olbynut–who mosts nights these days can barely crack 1m viewers for his first airing. Time to cut that overpriced deadwood loose!

By the way, one thing Rush can do to help his drug addiction and prove that he’s not so messed up is not be such an illiterate nutjob screaming about all the evil liberals that haunt his dreams. god for bid anybody is too liberal in this country because he will cry about it like the big baby that he is. He obviously has some major psychological issues, which are evident just from listening to him talk and talk and talk with that fat ego of his that makes his head so fat, too.

First off, you need a name, Facebook-er… Facebook-ee… Facebook-enstein…

But back to your comments towards me. I’ve watched Joe since his primetime days at MSNBC… and have seen and heard his opinions change so many times, I don’t know where he stands. When his show was slumping on MSNBC, and rumors were circulating that he was going to get bumped, he took a noticeable step to the left. When he was put up as the Republican against Olbermann and Matthews, he was feisty to the right. His opinion changes depending on what he thinks will benefit him the most… not what he believes, and certainly with no consistency.

As for the other folks you mentioned who “preach” at you (Limbaugh, O’Reilly, etc.) I’d respectfully disagree, at least for some. Limbaugh certainly does preach, and does believe he’s correct 100% of the time. O’Reilly is probably the least conservative of the bunch, doesn’t always go along with the party, and is more likely to agree and acknowledge another opinion. Hannity is a Reagan Republican, and will call out those who go against that, no matter the party label. And Beck… well, Beck is a little all over the place at the moment, I need to see his presentation under a Republican congress or White House before I can have an definite opinion.

But you said something very interesting in your criticism of those folks: “But the others all force you to agree with them, and if you don’t, you are considered “far-left” or too liberal…” This is how (IMO) many on the left look at Joe. He’s “just Republican enough” to be tolerable, and everyone else is “too-right” or conservative. Look around this blog and note the people who comment that they’re big Joe fans… notice how many are staunch Democrats. What does that tell you about his presentation?

Next time, after calling him fat… you should also call him a “poopy pants dork.” You know, really bolster your argument. *rolls eyes*

Whatever, lib.

Capt:
What’s wrong with their time slot? They are on at the same time Conan, Letterman and Kimmel, so don’t use that sorry excuse.

Wow, he beats her by 13k… lets throw a party! And yet, Campbell kills him in total viewers by almost 300k. By the way, that is a lie. Keith doesn’t lose “a lot of the time” to Grace, rarely, if ever. So yes, I can make that comment.

Vastly overpaid? He gets the highest ratings on the network… what do you think he should get paid. That is another lie… Olbermann gets a million viewers at least 90% of the time, so your claim is false once again. Deadwood? Please. Red Eye is the deadwood with its unfunny anchors… get rid of them.

ImNotBlue:
Yeah, I have a name, but Facebook keeps it hidden.

Yes, im sure Joe’s opinions have changed. That is how politics works… all current and former politicians flip flop on their ideas and opinions, conservative or democrat. If you expect everyone to think the same thing for their entire lives in politics, then you will be sadly disappointed. And if you don’t know where he stands, watch his show in the mornings. Look how many times he bashes President Obama… look how many times he defends the republicans… look how many times he complains about the liberals. Hell, look how many times he runs a train over Mika whenever she says something that he doesn’t like. On almost a weekly basis, he verbally embarrasses her on air, so don’t give me all this crap about him going to the left sometimes. He has never, ever held a liberal point of view. That would be a sin in his world. In fact, he is more to the right now than he was before, and he was pretty much to the right there as well. I would know because i watch MJ every single morning. I haven’t missed a show since early in the primaries. And even back when Scarborough was in primetime, I wouldn’t consider Matthews on the left. He has kissed so much republican @ss (McCain, Giuliani, Romney, etc) and bashed Hilary Clinton that at one point, even the left couldn’t stand it. MSNBC has even put conservatives in its primetime lineup. If you have been watching Scarborough for that long, you would know about Tucker Carlson (now on fox news) hosting his own show at 6pm and Pat Buchanan co-hosting with Bill Press prior to Carlson taking over. So MSNBC has done it all and gone all up and down the aisle, so the fact that they are touted as a “left-wing network” is frankly laughable.

Honestly, I don’t know how you think O’Reilly is the least conservative when he is against any form of abortion and actually rails against anybody who suggests it… he supports war and, at most, only opposed the Iraq war, but he was never against an invasion, in general… and, clearly, he is fully against the public option, as well. As for Hannity, he is against any ideology that is to the left of Reagan or any typical conservative. Not much else to say about that. As for beck… again, I don’t understand how you can’t figure him out yet. The overwhelming amount of attacks that he launches against the liberals/democrats and President Obama is much more than any attacks he does against conservatives/republicans. This is an obvious and well-known fact just from listening to his radio and TV show.

So, in your opinion, Scarborough is just barely a good enough Republican that liberals tolerate him? That’s odd because I don’t find his politics tolerable, I just enjoy him because he is funny and he doesn’t make his viewers agree with him on every issue. As I said, Limbaugh and O’Reilly always do that. Plus, people on the left like Maddow, Olbermann, etc. can’t seem to stand Scarborough. So how do you explain that? As far as Mediaite goes, I haven’t been on it much to really figure out who’s a liberal or conservative. And I don’t think looking at the people who post on a blog website is much evidence to prove whether liberals like Joe Scarborough or not. That would be the best way to get an inaccurate reading. So no, it doesn’t tell me much about his presentation, and it shouldn’t tell you much, either.

By the way, I’m watching Morning Joe right now and Joe is going on a rant (while laughing his @ss off) about how much President Obama doesn’t deserve the NPP, that Jimmy Carter got his 2002 for attacking George W. Bush and wonders why Ronald Reagan didn’t get one for creating peace during his presidency. Damn, that Scarborough… what a RINO! Please.

And, it’s funny that you mention calling Rush a “poopy pants dork”… I was about to use that one! But fat seemed just fine. You’re not reading my mind now, are you? Color me impressed. :)

“Hell, look how many times he runs a train over Mika whenever she says something that he doesn’t like.”

You don’t need a train to run over Mike… a Big Wheel would suffice. The woman has NO IDEA what she’s talking about.

“He has never, ever held a liberal point of view.”

No… so his comments about Scarborough are what? Republican? When he was bashing Bush for XYZ, that was the Republican point of view? Or did it fall in line with those other folks (who were more popular at the time) on his network?

“I wouldn’t consider Matthews on the left.”

Done.

Now we see where you’re coming from. As I said before, way out there left! If you don’t think Mr. “Thrill-Up-My-Leg” is a lefty (despite his long history with Democrats), then you stand with you’re the other few folks stuck in far-left land.

“…you would know about Tucker Carlson…”

Tucker, who is a libertarian, had an interesting show that I certainly do remember. However, we’re talking about today… you know, the present. Tucker show was canceled in March of ’08… try to find this month’s calendar and live there for a bit.

“So MSNBC has done it all and gone all up and down the aisle, so the fact that they are touted as a “left-wing network” is frankly laughable.”

Yesterday… all my troubles seemed so far away…

So… who hosts their right-wing program now? Who’s the righty in prime-time? Anyone? Anyone?

“That’s odd because I don’t find his politics tolerable,”

Congrats! You’re apparently even farther out than the majority of far-left loons!

“I just enjoy him because he is funny and he doesn’t make his viewers agree with him on every issue.”

How does a talk show host “make” you agree with anything? Are you that easily influenced that they can “make you” do things? Wow… creepy.

“Plus, people on the left like Maddow, Olbermann, etc. can’t seem to stand Scarborough. So how do you explain that?”

Well, I don’t know about Maddow (do you have evidence?)… but Olbermann can’t stand anyone who disagrees with him, that’s why he never interviews people who don’t expressly agree with his previously stated opinions.

“Damn, that Scarborough… what a RINO! Please.”

Ah, Joe’s having one of his right-wing days! Gotta dial it back from attacking Rush yesterday. Of course, what he’s saying isn’t really all that different that what, say, Chuck Todd said… but you know, who’s counting.

“You’re not reading my mind now, are you?”

I might be… but I’m having trouble getting a clear signal. All I see is ‘blank.’ Oh wait… it is your mind. Sorry.

Having watched Joe for a while, I find him very consistent ideologically. Rush, on the other hand, is more of a Republican than a conservative. There is a difference between holding a political ideology and being a party loyalist.

The Bush administration and their Republican congress spent us into oblivian. Rush and the rest of the so-called conservatives didn’t complain about spending until 2006 when the Dems took back congress and then again in 2008 when Obama won.

Joe has stood his ground.

Rush is a joke.

The conservative movement is at a cross-roads. Right now, too many of us are choosing to be loyal to a party and to the big money backers than to our ideals. Even our “grass roots” rallies lately have been nothing more than GOP-sanctioned special-interest funded, ginned-up photo-ops. So long as that remains the case, we deserve to lose. Period.

Joe gets it. The fact that so many conservatives posting in this thread don’t worries me.

Rush, like Beck, is an entertainer, a circus clown.

He doesn’t care about conservatives, or neo-conservatives, or Republicans. He cares about lining his pockets and ratings. Case closed. The more controversial he is, the more LIBERALS will listen, the same reason that people who hate Howard Stern know every single thing that comes out of his mouth to point to and hate.

They’re all shock jocks that have no desire to move the dialogue along, improve our country, come up with solutions, or care about you or me. Period, end of story.

ChickaBOOMer: MSNBC: T & A – Testicles and Assholes
http://chickaboomer.blogspot.com/2009/10/msnbc-t-testicles-and-assholes.html

Kevin,

“Rush Limbaugh is an irrelevant figure on the right and he is only seen as a joke by the masses” – REALLY?

You base this assertion on WHAT? The FACT that he has the LARGEST listening audience of ANY radio program? You’re not asserting that Air America had MORE listeners than Rush does, are you?

There is NO DOUBT that the Rush is has (conservatively [pun intended]) MILLIONS of listeners (while there is debate of exactly HOW MANY Millions).

He IS, undeniably, THE MOST LISTENED TO Radio Talk Show Host – PERIOD!

Now, I’m not suggesting that his audience consists ENTIRELY of Conservatives (clearly “the opposition” listens to him as well), but to suggest that HIS OPINION (which, by the way ECHOES that of MOST of his listeners) is irrelevant is to suggest that the Mid-Term election VICTORY of the Republicans was the voters way of voicing their APPROVAL of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and their policies and actions over the past (nearly) two years!

This is remarkable of the foremost blogs in the area of educational activity. If I don’t came in for a couple of days, there are so many stakes that it’ll lead me a couple of hours just to go through whatever I omitted!! Praise.

Thanks. some massive infos. here keep up Culinary Skills Egg Salad Recipe French Onion Soup Recipe the great work. I cannot actually provide a more optimistic comment as i’m abit out of my deph but i will be checking back here for further updates.

Right On, Rush…right on…!

You have ol’ Joe ‘Bigmouth Blowhard’ Scarborough pegged. Mark Levin also tells it like it is concerning the turncoat without a backbone, Joey, and his very low number of viewers. Nobody wants to watch or listen to this doofus scream at everyone on the silly morning java show. Something is wrong with Joe….something very, very wrong!!!  I believe it is called being an idiot. He doesn’t even have a radio show anymore….just like all of them PMSnbc’ers that put AirAmerica out of business. There is only one (1) True Conservative on LSDnbc and that is Pat Buchanan who really needs to quit PMSnbc and get with  FOX News

Thank you SayyyyyWHAT…..for proving the point that we all have known:  you, Fox News, Pat Buchanan, Mark Levin, Limbaugh, Hannity, are all basically Racists.  And for the most part, you don’t deny it. So keep up your ranting and hopefully we will get all of you off the air and voted out of Politics1
