Joe Scarborough on Young Guns Ad: ‘Who Calls Themselves the Young Turds?’

video
» 52 comments

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough, himself a former GOP young gun, led a gleeful panel piñata party in honor of the new Republican “Young Guns” ad. Supporting the release of Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders, a book by GOP Reps Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy, the ad drew mockery from the Morning Joe crowd, with Mika Brzezinski insisting it had to be a Daily Show bit, and Scarborough, mangling the title, asking “Who calls themselves the ‘Young Turds?’”

The panel also notes the absence of any female Young Guns, an omission that should have Sarah Palin reloading in short order, no? (h/t Alan.com, video from Think Progress)


Given the derisive reaction to this ad, we’ll probably never get to see the DCCC’s “Reservoir Dems” campaign, or a job safety commission called “OSHA’s 11.”

    “Young Guns” is a ridiculous name. Somehow it just doesn’t fit guys with pleated pants and dress shirts.

  • BatBoy

    They are not NASCAR drivers…probably have never stepped foot on a NASCAR track for that matter.

    Let the NASCAR boys keep that term for them….

    Morning Joe is trying to compete with Redeye, it is humor that only works after midnight.

  • sarainitaly

    The very end with the three of them walking may have a tiny cheese factor, but as someone who will no longer give a Democrat my vote, and socially liberal, I am excited and interested to see what they bring to the table. And, considering the Republican party does kind of carry the *old white guy* label, *young guns* works. But, they should have had a female in there.

    How come one of those Young Gun s is afraid of Laura Ingraham?

    Are any of those guys socially liberal?

    BTW, forty-five ain’t young, unless you’re comparing it to the ancient White dinosaurs who make up the rest of the Republican party.

    Which one is afraid of Laura Ingraham and why? She’s smart, young, and hot.

    Socially liberal, indeed! Like Basil Marceaux, I mean Gordon Blower is socially liberal. Where do you get these delusions? Do you take drugs to induce them?

    “… no longer give a Democrat my vote ….” Like you ever did. I guess maybe you’re fooling yourself. Enjoy it.

    “Young Turds”. That’s pretty funny, for Joe.

  • JamesA1102

    Joe who?

  • Some_Dude

    Is this supposed to be an appeal to young voters? When Republicans in recent years have uniformly been against everything young people care about (especially on social issues such as equality for gays and immigration), and have worse revealed their true selves via the Tea Party and insane rhetoric against our president because he’s black, they lost that vote a long time ago.

    Plus, one of them dudes looks like he’s 45-50. I guess that’s young by Republican reckoning……

    Oh really? So, when I voted for Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton they were Republicans? When I campaigned for two years for Hillary, she was running as a Republican?

    (government sponsored healthcare? you mean tax payer funded healthcare? healthcare that I have used ONCE and paid $150 for my doctor visit?)

    Cantor doesn’t appear to be, and the others I don’t know, which is why I said I am excited to see what they bring to the table. That said, I have re-prioritized my voting issues as I’ve grown older, and I’ve finally seen the light wrt the Democratic party. I still remain an Indy, but will no longer vote Dem because of certain issues, like I used to. The Dems are a bunch of lying hypocrites.

    I don’t believe you voted for any of them. Can you prove that you did? And you campaigned for Hillary for 2 years? I didn’t realize there was a primary in Italy.

    Can you prove any of your claims? In fact the only thing we no for sure is that you benefit from government sponsored healthcare.

    No Sara (who benefits from government run healthcare) you are describing yourself.

  • sarainitaly

    There are groups in Italy for both parties – lots of expats over here. They hold meetings, throw fundraisers, and have parties. I blogged non-stop in support of Hillary and did what I could from Italy. I have two years (I keep saying two years, but I think it was more like a year and a half…it just seemed like two years) worth of blogging posts. How else can I prove I voted for Dems? Hmm…. Not sure how to do that. You could ask my friends, but you don’t know them. Why would I lie (why the HELL would I lie about voting for John Kerry, for god’s sake)? I, unlike most on the internet, do not hide who I am. (Although I did have to become more anonymous after receiving death threats during the primary from Obama supporters.) I waited for 12 years for Hillary to run, and knew she would in 2012. My first presidential election I voted for Bill Clinton.

    You really are ridiculous with your government sponsored health care comments. I have written extensively about both systems, and you aren’t *hurting* or offending me by saying that. You just look silly. It isn’t government sponsored healthcare. It is tax payer funded healthcare.

    And sorry, but the Dems are a bunch of lying hypocrites. Which is why they will never get my vote again.

    Well the panel is full of moronic bigots, Tommy Boy. Nobody expects them to mention young GOP females such as Nikki Haley. In fact, these misogynist bigots on Morning Joe like to ignore the numerous female GOPers — young and old — running for office.

    By that statement alone no Republicans should ever get your vote again either. Both parties do the exact same thing as a whole. The ONLY person I’ve seen in the Repub party that has ever been true to his values has been Ron Paul. I think he would also be the only Repub member that could be considered a “social-liberal” since he seems to be the only Libertarian that sticks to all the Libertarian principles (both government and social).

    Does it really matter? I mean, who watches Morning Hoe on MessNBC?

    No matter how hard Scarborough tries to convince the “progressives” he’s “one of the good ones,” they will always think he’s a right-wing dick. And they’re right.
