Morning Joe's Odd Manifesto Against 'Angry Voices' Sounds A Lot Like Obama Speech
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/20/2010 6:06:45 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

In a strange departure from Morning Joe's typical spontaneity, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski issued what was clearly a scripted, teleprompted, manifesto this morning. The statement purported to be non-partisan condemnation of "angry voices" and a call, citing a WWII poster, to "keep calm and carry on." But even a cursory analysis reveals that the manifesto's message suits Dem themes to a 'T', and carries clear echoes of a recent partisan speech by Pres. Obama at a political event.

The manifesto amounted to a condemnation of the "angry voices" and the "political extremists" who, claimed Scarborough, "are dominating the airwaves and dominating the national debate." But at this juncture in American political history, the anger is understandably more present on the right. The Dems, after all, control both houses of Congress and the White House, and have used their power to promote a big-government agenda on everything from health care to trillion dollar spending schemes to higher taxes. You're darn right we're angry! In telling us to calm down, Joe and Mika are really seeking to sap the vitality from the political movement that threatens to sweep Dems from office.

Joe is just another economically comfortable blowhard who is out of touch with the people enduring financial troubles. He doesn’t get it. If he did - and knew his history - he’d realize that clueless people like himself in the past ended up on meathooks.

Rally cry to RINOs! They want both parties to work together to ‘get things done’

Joe : “ We are going to continue like we've done for three years to encourage viewers and guests to resist the pull from those people on the far right and the professional left who seek division. We're going to say resist that and keep focusing on the task at hand ensuring that Americans greatest days lie ahead.“
Mika takes over: “We will continue to call out those that preach hate, and continue to celebrate civility and promote open debate where all voices on all sides are welcome.

Speaking of hate Joe+Mika, just check out your MSNBC evening lineup : Schultz, Olberman, Maddow. You never call them out on your show you phonies.

Plus it was bipartision RINO policies that got us here to begin with: giving home-loans to those with bad credit, easing up loan requirements to promote affordable housing and stimulate the economy.

Sounds like Joe is a Romney man.

...and then immediately after, he and his crew resort to exactly the same kind of character assasination that he was decrying only moments earlier. Nice catch.

EXACTLY.

I think the DNC has a direct feed right into the Morning Joe teleprompter ;-)

What is this. A logo for the latest regime slogan? Who is responsible for this bullshit? Recycling British WWII motivational propaganda as a dem. talking point? Who's the genius? How dumb do they think we are?

So now it is politically incorrect to be angry? We’re supposed to be used and abused and smile about it? Were supposed to sit around placidly while these jokers and their accomplices in the media destroy our country? I think not.

I’m here and I’m not queer and I’m sick of all of them and their agendas. I’m not angry, I’m pi$$ed and I’m ready to throw them all out of office.

Yep...I've been watching them for a while now, and although it was often frustrating, it seemed worth it for the times Joe would take the lefties to task. Those days are gone, and he has completely emerged from the closet as a left-center "Republican." I would expect he will change parties soon...what a dreadful disappointment.

And I won't even bring up the dead girl in his campaign office a while back...

Who is this fool, morning joke?

He looks just like Jughead from the Archie comic books.

Are these angry voices in Joe's head very often?

Joe’s proclamation to ‘calm down’ to the unwashed masses from on high?
I’d say we’re more resolute and focused than angry. But take it any way you want it Joe. We’re tired of your equivocating bullsh!t.

One of the happiest days of my life was when our local radio station dropped those two. Yuck. What a waste of air time.
