Despite Flip-Flops, Scarborough Says '94 NRA Questionnaire 'Very Consistent' With Positions Today
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

As per his 1994 NRA questionnaire, Joe Scarborough: Opposed an assault weapons ban. Opposed expansion of background checks. Opposed limitations on magazine sizes. Today, he supports all such measures.

So how would you describe his two very different sets of opinions? Why, as being "very consistent," of course--if you're Joe Scarborough. On today's Morning Joe, responding to the NRA's promulgation of the NRA questionnaire he submitted in 1994 as an aspiring Republican congressman, Scarborough did indeed claim that his positions today, despite the multiple flip-flops, are "very consistent."

In 1994, he wanted to get elected. Today he wants to please his “Masters” at MSNBC.

Consistent with the popular opinion of the people he associates with most at any given time, I suppose. And his opinion is that of the last person with whom he had a conversation.

No flip-flop here. But he could operate a seesaw all by himself by standing over the center and with the least movement to either side, would tilt that way.

No strongly held beliefs either way.

I have a brother-in-law like that.

He’s a nobody on a nobody show.

He’s already gotten away with murder, why wouldn’t he think he could get away with this?

In addition, he has both feet planted firmly in mid air.

Having said that, he is totally inconsequential, as is his “network” and everyone associated with it.

It's hard to believe that anyone could be a slimier p.o.s. than Keith Olbermann, but here's Joe Scarborough, giving it his all.

No principles, no convictions - just pandering to his miniscule audience and the sleazebags that sign his paychecks.

Mika’s sock puppet:

“Say you’re a conservative, Joe.”

“You’re a conservative, Joe.”

“Good boy, here’s another marajuana cookie.”
