Scarborough Says 'Asinine' Kansans Concerned About Michelle's HS Graduation Visit Should Shut Up
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/21/2014 5:09:06 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Shut up, Joe Scarborough explained. That was the Morning Joe host's advice to people in Topeka, Kansas who are concerned that First Lady Michelle Obama's visit to the city's joint high school graduation ceremony will limit seating for family members and take the spotlight off the graduates themselves.

The man who makes his living offering his opinions and expressing his concerns instructed Kansans to "keep those concerns to yourself." Adding insult to injury, Scarborough called the concerned Kansans "asinine."

People opposed to Michelle Obama’s HS graduation visit are “asinine” and should shut up, says Scarborough. Ping to Today show list.

What they should have done if the government insisted on doing this, would be to bold it off site somewhere and then kids or people who.would want to go would do so. Not force this on everyone.

Scarborough, you intern-strangling leftist-excusing corrupted neo-communist bastard piece of lizard-feces, pipe your crumb-hole down. We don’t want to hear your dialect of crazy.

You know graduations always have a few pranksters - Maybe when the first wookie gets up to speak a few hundred students should turn and show her their backsides as a sign of thanks.

1,200 students have signed petition to block Michelle from their graduation.

That's about the same number of viewers that Morning Joe draws at any given time.

Mika has Scarborough twisted around her finger. Have you noticed that when he gets on his soap box she turns and stares him down? I have wondered why Scarborough and his 2nd wife split up, but I think Mika has something to do with it.

What they should have done was tell her to record her speech, and then play the video during the graduation as filler. It avoids disruptive security measures. It doesn't feed Moochelle's ego, though, so her personal appearance will be pushed through anyway.

I can see a bunch of parents just skipping the graduation ceremony, and holding their own unofficial graduation party elsewhere. Let Moochelle gaze upon rows of empty seats.

The originator of the petition should just organize a privately held graduation ceremony. Of course they’ll be denounced by Obama and the Wookie for doing such.

Did Scarborough give the same courtesy to Condi Rice when she visited University of Wisconsin and was derided by that decision by some? I don’t know one way or the other, but something tells me he didn’t. Michelle Obama should stick to College Graduations. First Ladies don’t typically do high school graduations.

Scarborough represents Team Romney AND he has
his secretary's skeleton in his own "closet".

Flashback: Scarborough defendings Team Romney's
attack on Gov. Palin AND HER CHILDREN.

"Pat Buchanan asks Ziegler who were the main culprits in the media attack against Palin,
and Joe Scarborough interrupted Ziegler and would not let him answer!"

"Joe Scarborough losing more and more sleep over McCain
"John McCain is ruining Joe Scarborough’s life. Joe can’t sleep or eat.
His man Romney is now showing 15 points behind McCain nationally.
Joe is sick over it. How could the good republicans of this nation vote for such a liberal.
He aims to do something about it. He doesn’t know what yet, but dammit,
Romney is going to be President if he has his way about it. He knows the real Mitt.
He knows Mitt simply lied to get elected in MA. He doesn’t know why he lied, and he doesn’t care."
