Morning Joe went on the air in 2007. Think of all the outrage-provoking people and events that have popped up in the ensuing eight years. Yet in the memory of this Newsbuster—who's been blogging the show since its debut—rarely has Mika Brzezinski seemed more upset than she was today on the subject of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Just what is it that drives Brzezinski so batty about Bibi? Mika gave a little hint when she challenged the integrity of her guests for declining to join in her blasting of Bibi: "I just want to know what you're all afraid of. I do." Hmm. Mika apparently thinks there's something about the Israelis, or their friends in the US, that frightens American reporters and pundits from speaking their minds. What might that be?

it runs in the family

[Lazamataz]

Because she is an anti-Jewish cunning stunt.

[C. Edmund Wright]

...her IQ of 43?

You’re kidding, right? It’s all about her dad; he and Jimmy Carter created the Islamic State of Iran and are the main proponents of it as a legitimate check on the wickedness of America. They’re deeply committed to Iran and the policies that made Iran and its terrorist state possible.

[dfwgator]

She is one dumb Polack.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Because she’s Zigbiev’s daughter?

It's actually extremely simple, and universal among liberals. Liberals abhor anyone who makes them face reality, rather than their flimsily-constructed fantasies of what reality should be.

Generational curse. Her papa was an anti-Semite, so is she. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The turd doesn’t fall far from the sphincter.

Joe let her speak? That doesn’t happen often.

[samtheman]

She takes the High Standard of Journalism as we now know it (aka Bootlicking Propaganda Arm of the DNC) to a whole new level.

Daddy’s little girl.

[KosmicKitty]

Daddy?

[AFret.]

Because she’s Zigbiev’s daughter?

She obviously used his name to get where she is. If she wasn’t his daughter, she would be a pole dancer in Biloxi..

[Calvin Locke]

I think she’s sad for being born too late, and not being able to help out at Auschwitz.

[dfwgator]

I think she’s sad for being born too late, and not being able to help out at Auschwitz.

Or being back in the Old Country back in 68, when they kicked the rest of the Jews out.
