Scarborough Says NRA F-Rated Biden Will Reassure Gun Owners
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/28/2008 5:03:57 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Joe Scarborough and the rest of the Morning Joe crew actually had my sympathy this morning. Amidst all the infighting at MSNBC, including demands for Joe's head in Olbermann-friendly circles, one could sense that the panel was on its best behavior. During the opening hour, a subdued David Shuster—who had openly fought with Joe just two days ago—was there, but just barely. Scarborough himself could not have been more enthusiastic in his praise for yesterday's DNC proceedings, from Bill's speech to the historic fact of the nomination of an African-American.

But if my impulse is to cut the Morning Joe folks some slack today, I have to draw the line at the whopper Joe got off at 6:45 AM, in which he claimed that Biden's presence on the ticket will help reassure gun owners that Obama won't take their weapons.

View video here.

Let's hear what Joe had to say, then compare it with Biden's record on gun ownership. As you'll see, the contrast couldn't be more stark.

Throughout this convention, Scarborough has been telling democrats how to go after Republicans each night.

Yep...and Buchanan is doing the exact same thing. Perhaps that’s why they are the only non-democrats on the program!

Scarborough and Buchanan have looked foolish telling democrats how to go after Republicans this week.

Let’s see if Shuster, Matthews, and Olbermann tell Republicans how to go after democrats at the Republican convention...

...if he and Obama get in the White House their right to own and possess a firmarm is gone, along with the rest of their rights.

Our rights ain't going anywhere.

What will go away is the freedom to legally exercise those rights.

Scarborough has a lifetime rating of 95 from the ACU as a congressman from Florida.

The MSNBC Kool Aid must be powerful stuff.

I think Joe Scarborough has lost his mind. Don’t know what the hell happened to him, or maybe he was a closet Lib all along.

Biden, like all other current DemoComs, is a gun grabber. If that team gets in the White House, we are in for a HUGE assault on our liberty like NEVER before.

Think the Klintonski years were bad? Just wait.

You are absolutely correct when you say that gun owners are not like Democrats...but we’re not like Republicans either.

BOTH of those parties have, at one time or another, tried to throw us under the bus. We need to remind them that no matter WHO gets elected, they are PUBLIC SERVANTS, subject to the will of the American People.

Gun owners need to quickly adopt the attitude - “You mess with ONE of us, you mess with ALL of us.” We are a HUGE block of voting muscle, if we stick together, and something to be reckoned with.

Molon Labe indeed...LFOD

I think ole' Joe here got one word wrong. The fact is that having Biden on the ticket will help to reassure gun owners that Obama will take our weapons.

They know that most politicians will lie to them, so they react accordingly. They look at what they say, not what they do.
