Joe Scarborough

There is not one America. Even the term is nothing but propaganda. There is North America and South America; two continents.  Hugo Chavez is an American and so is Fidel Castro.

Did you know that most enclopaedias will include all of Meso-America as part of the North American Continent? And all the Caribbean Islands as well?   Does not matter. The entire area between the North Pole and the South pole is just about included as America in that longitudinal section of this orb that we call the New World.

It is just so difficult to say: The citizens of The United States of America. So we are Americans, I guess. And within that limited framework, we shall refer to ourselves as Americans, here anyway.

Well there are over three hundred million of us Americans.  And there are factions within that population that will never get along. Never.

My America has nothing to do with rush's America, and his America does not have anything to do with me.  As a matter of fact, his faction could not even agree with me as to how to define what an American Citizen is. If Hernandez Mendoza and Pierre LaFonte are born here, well they are citizens as far as I am concerned. Game over.

But not to rush. So there really is no reason for me to have anything to do with the guy, except to point out my disagreements with him. I despise him as a commentator, as a radio DJ, as a repub, as a hateful divider, as a winner so far in the 'class struggle', as a demagogue, as a racist, as a white supremacist, as a human being.  I doubt I could agree with him as to who should be president or what a good movie is.

How bad are things in the Republican Party? In a new USA Today poll, 52 percent of respondents, when asked to name "the main person" who speaks for the GOP, couldn't come up with an answer. For those who could answer, Rush Limbaugh was the first choice with 13 percent, followed by Dick Cheney, John McCain, Newt Gingrich, and George W. Bush. Does that mean a Limbaugh-Cheney ticket in 2012?Read it at USA Today Posted at 6:44 AM, Jun 10, 2009 Daily Beast

Jughead is the subject of this essay though. Known as Joe Scarborough with a stunningly conservative morning show on MSNBC known as Mornin' Joe.  I bring up rush simply because rush spouts a message that is supported by a large group of repubs, a large group of other hateful propagandists, and a large group in our media as a whole. And Jughead counts him as his close friend.  The close friend of my enemy is my enemy.

Another of his best friends who is on his morning panel is Pat Buchanan. I have had a chance to say a lot about Pat, but here is a nice summary of the orations of one of America's primary fascists:http://mediamatters.org/columns/200906080008.

Jughead also stated today that Jon Stewart is an extremely angry man with a Napoleonic complex. This coming from a 6'4" man who stands on the mountaintop and evidently can perceive these things.

Just examining this anger first, who could forget the time jughead earned his show the seven second delay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SJUwn6eSNo.  

The reason he used the 'f' word was because he had been on a rant about what a scoundrel Rahm Emmanuel was;  in order to demonstrate that Rahm was a bad person.  After doing this for several days, he finally got caught on the tube and has kind of laid off of Rahm since then.  This demonstrates an anger I would say.

Or take a look at this fine appearance with Rachel Maddow and monkeyface Gregory (April, 2008) when jughead kept interrupting Rachel. He would not let her finish her first sentence. The entire argument had to do with the Reverend Wright challenge to Obama's character by jughead. Rachel was bringing up the fact that McCain had his own problems with associations in the past (read racist conservative bastards). Jughead kept interrupting that you cannot challenge the character of a man who had been in public service for twenty five years.  But it was ok to challenge the character of Obama because he had no public service (say what?)  jughead walks off the set in anger. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/17/joe-scarborough-walks-off_n_97330.html

Oh and anyone interested in the Vince Foster death, at least as interested as Scarborough, take a look at this headline discussing the death of a female aide IN JUGHEAD'S OWN OFFICE in 2001: http://www.allhatnocattle.net/7-21-06_scarborough_aide_dies.htm

Lori's skull had suffered several severe blunt-force trauma injuries and fissures, including one that made a crack in her skull over seven inches long. Two of the traumas resulted in sizable hematomas, the largest being the size of a woman's fist. Now, remember this point: Hematomas cannot form once the heart stops beating and circulation is stopped. Why is this important? Because the coroner in the case, one Michael Berkland, ruled that Lori Klausutis had fainted due to a fatal heart attack while she was standing and then hit her head on the desk as she fell before hitting the ground. That only accounts for at most two of the head injuries -- and not for their severity. And if Lori was going to have a heart attack, why didn't she have it during one of the many 8k races in which she ran? It turns out that Michael Berkland had moved to Florida because he'd had his license pulled in Missouri for deliberately botching autopsies. Oh, and if her heart had stopped beating before she sustained the head injuries, how then did the hematomas form? Go read the following sites for more information: http://phoenixwoman.blogspot.com/2005/03/joe-scarborough-and-dead-women.html And this may have had more to do with why jughead decided not to run again in November 2002.  As a matter of fact he resigned before his fourth terms was over in 2001.  Remember, he stated 'family reasons'. http://www.americanpolitics.com/20010808Klausutis.html

Take a look at this wonderfully uncontained Scarborough defending Blackwater: http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/055359.php

He had been on a tirade against the Iraqis as Nazis when Jim Webb came on and calmed jughead down.

Or watch him take after Michael Moore: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFNvwCiHn6g

Jughead thinks he is much more composed than he really is. He is a classic passive-aggressive. He is so filled with hate and anger that he is transparent in the old sense of the word. Who in the hell does he think he is fooling here? And with people like rush and cheney as his best friends...geeeeez.

He has written a book recently about getting back to 'conservative values'.  Basically, there is nothing new here:

1.                Cut all spending programs

2.                Balance budget

3.                After you balance budget cut more taxes

4.                Cut all spending programs again

5.                After you balance budget cut more taxes

6.                Put more conservative jugheads on the Supreme Court

7.                End the minimum wage

8.                Destroy all government unions

9.                Destroy all teachers' unions

10.             Destroy all unions

11.             Get government out of the business of regulating business

12.             Get government out of the business of tracking management's salaries

13.             End Medicare and Medicaid

14.             Do not permit any government related health insurance program

But he wishes to have this done with a smile on his face; along with a willingness to hear the other side out and then proceed with all his aims anyway.

Get rid of abortion and gay rights as federal issues. Leave it up to the states.  Then he fights with Chris Matthews who is amoral while jughead is immoral, and finally admits he will spend his time stopping abortion rights in all fifty states anyway.

This week, jughead has taken a page out of the standard repub manual. He repeats the same chorus. But his new rant/chant is the phrase: Two trillion dollars.  The ten year plan being contemplated by the dems--with the first plan coming right out of Teddy's Office--would eventually 'cost' the taxpayers 1.5 trillion dollars.  Jughead wishes to simply round up saying that he has somehow spoken with 'experts' who told him that the two trillion dollar figure is not that 'far off' from the actual cost. 

Every single paragraph and sometimes sentence coming out of this repub liar's mouth includes the words 'two trillion dollars'. Of course he adds other phrases like: debt put on our children. Or 'over and above the budget we already have that is not working.'  Or 'the government bureaucrat will stand between you and your doctor.'

So let us examine some of these statements from the latest spokesman for Starbucks Coffee.

For a general look at this conservative's stance on issues: http://ontheissues.org/FL/Joe_Scarborough.htm

1.                The 'two trillion dollars' will not help Americans one iota.

2.                This is just not 'the time' to do anything about health care

3.                This is just not 'the time' to attempt to help 47 million people who have no health insurance

4.                Under Obama's plans there will be a government bureaucrat standing between the patient and his doctor.

5.                We owe too much money as it is and the Chinese will eventually take over the country

6.                People have been sick and without access to medical care for hundreds of years, why the hurry to do something for them now?

7.                Republicans are being kept out of the 'loop' with regard to amending our health care system.

8.                all dems are poopy pants who wish to tax and spend

9.                The 'two trillion dollars' will not help Americans one iota.

TWO TRILLION DOLLARS

Senator Edward Kennedy presented his 615-page health care plan on Tuesday, kicking off Congress' debate on how to overhaul the nation's health care system. There is still no consensus on how large a role the federal government should play or how to finance the $1.5 trillion cost over the next decade. Kennedy's plan includes a powerful government oversight structure for insurance, would require private insurers to cover people with pre-existing medical conditions, and would make health insurance mandatory. Kennedy specifically left out new coverage requirements on businesses and a government insurance plan that would compete with private insurance companies to avoid antagonizing Republicans. Many were still furious and say the bill is being rushed through. The bill offers subsidies to people making up to five times the federal definition of the poverty line.

So the first plan that is being proffered, naturally by Ted Kennedy, hints at 1.5 trillion dollars as a ten year cost. It is 615 pages. I have not read it and neither has jughead.

But just take a look at this link: http://www.kaiseredu.org/topics_im.asp?imID=1&parentID=61&id=358

Our health costs are over 2 trillion dollars a year, not per decade. And they jump up double digits, percentage wise, EVERY GODDAMNABLE YEAR.  Monies are being scooped up faster into the corporate coffers in the current 'system' faster than the 12 billion dollar cash pile was in the streets of Bagdad not so long ago.

IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

Of course we have to act now. You want to wait five years for the figure to double? All you have to do is trace the cost rise over the last five years.  IT WILL DOUBLE IN ANOTHER FIVE YEARS IF WE DO NOT DO SOMETHING NOW!!! And if it doubles, WHERE IS THAT MONEY COMING FROM?

FORGET THE 47 MILLION AMERICANS WHO HAVE NO ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE

Do we not have enough workhouses and prisons?

THE GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRAT

So who in the hell is standing between the patient and his doctor now you idiot?  Oh yeah, you are in good hands with allstate or state farm or bcbs or....OH FORGET IT!

THE CHINESE SOLUTION

What, are the Chinese going to hire a bill collector?

WHAT IS THE HURRY?

Frankly I want to tax jughead 90% as soon as possible. I just cannot stand the son of a bitch.

REPUBLICANS OUT OF THE LOOP

Good idea actually. We sure the hell would come up with better plans than I have seen to date.

THE DEMS ARE POOPY PANTS

And so's your mother!!!!

TWO TRILLION DOLLARS AGAIN

Oh get off it!!!!

Joe Scarborough is an angry hateful conservative who wishes to keep the class lines sharp in this country. He wishes to present a persona that is somehow viewed as reasonable and courteous.

BUT HE IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN RUSH.
