Joe Scarborough Still Thinks Kerry's A War Hero

I just heard Joe Scarborough say that he felt Kerry is a war hero. Scarborough said if Kerry feels that he misspoke as a young man he should say so, but if he stands by his anti-war/war crimes statements, he should keep quiet. Did anyone else hear this and interpret it this way? I was surprised. I thought we could count on Joe to acknowledge the truth.

Yes and I can believe I'm Britney Spears.

Joe started to go wobbly about 6 months ago.

I, co-incidently, stopped watching him at about that time.

He should listen to this Stephen Gardner Audio (half way down on the right)

I've been so out of touch lately dealing with grandbabies and their parents' potential divorce that I had no idea he'd gone wobbly. What a load of bs that is. Joe was the one I counted on to tell the truth. Have you any idea why he's wobbling?
Please say a prayer for my kids.

This guy is looking out for his job on that third rate network.

[MadMoo]

Joe's not doing his homework. I stopped watching him because of this.

Translation - Joe still hasn't read "Unfit for Command". Send him an email begging him to read it. He really needs to since either Larry O'Donnell is lying when he says that the book doesn't include anyone who actually served on Kerry's boat or I'm imagining all the stuff about Stevd Gardner in the book.

All TV commentators (almost anyway) eventually bow to the god of Political Correctness.

[Always Right]

You might want to aim a little higher.

I'd be glad to send an e-mail...do you think he still reads comments from his viewers?

[tirednvirginia]

I thought it was more like a challenge to Kerry. He should apologize for what he said against his fellow vets way back or if he is not sorry and stays quiet the controversy will continue.

I had to turn Scarborough off when he started talking about the Swiftboat Vets. That Larry McDonald-- O'Donald(?) or whatever his name is keep saying how the media would not give a lot of time to O'Neill's book because it is poorly researched. He said O'Neill did not talk to the men on Kerry's boat. That's when I turned it off.
Scarborough seemed fair the other night when interviewing O'Neill but not tonight.

Joe Scarborough is Bill O'Reilly lite

[Wild Irish Rogue]

' Translation - Joe still hasn't read "Unfit for Command"."

Neither has Sean Hannity ,John Gibson or Bill O'Reilly.
Once they read the book, there is no way they can say they honor John Kerry's service.
For they will be saying they honor the service of a fraud and a pathological liar.

Hello, My prayers are sent to you and your kids. On Joe, I can only guess that he needs this job. I had expected better from him.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

I don't have any idea. He just seemed to lose the hard conservative edge he had when he started the show in the early part of 2003.

Joe did ask Kerry to apologize to the veterans, who Kerry harmed tremendously with his reckless accusations upon returning from Vietnam. But I turned off Scarborough Country tonight when he let Lawrence O'Donnell once again state that "Unfit for Command" was not journalistically correct, or something along those lines. I sure never saw O'Donnell take such an interest in the journalistic techniques of Michael Moore or other Bush bashers.

But I agree, Joe was too easy on these guys tonight.

PS:

Good luck with the domestic situation.

Well, I heard it just now. But, when I heard it, I thought that Joe was sending out a challenge to Kerry. Joe Scarborough said, that if Kerry ignores the subject, its like admitting it. Joe said that Kerry should apologize for what he said over 30 years ago. Larry ODonnell the dem twerp, said that by ignoring the swiftboat vets book and Ad, the Kerry campaign hopes to keep it from getting noticed by the mainstream press.
