Day Deux of Joe Scarborough's campaign against public figures making the "hands up, don't shoot" gesture to falsely suggest that Michael Brown was doing the same during his confrontation with Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. As reported here, yesterday the Morning Joe host took to task the St. Louis Rams players who made the gesture, and the liberal media that has abetted their implicit allegation.
Today, while continuing his righteous rant against the Rams, Scarborough also castigated the three congressmen who took to the floor of the House yesterday to make the gesture. No fewer than five times, Scarborough called the notion that Brown had his hands up a "lie."

Players’ free speech rights? What if they had taken to the field with signs saying “Goodell must go” or “pants up don’t shoot?” Ping to Today show list.
Give Joe another week of these rants and then MS-LSD management will take him to the woodshed again and he’ll be back in line.
One cannot exercise every Constitutional right simultaneously - there’s no way to do so, without stepping on someone else’s rights. This issue is as simple as that.
These players have the right to work in the NFL if they are good enough. They have the right to free speech. That does NOT mean they can exercise both at the very same moment in the uniform of the NFL.
People don’t understand rights very well....(present company excepted).
Did Joe have a sex change operation and become a male?
I will not do anything or purchase anything that supports the NFL or NBA. They've been taken over by black thug culture. This display definitely deserves a suspension. Is what it symbolizes any different from the KKK or NeoNazis? I don't think so.
The NFL, the Rams, and Coach Fisher have exposed themselves as spineless hypocrites of the first order in this matter.
They should really not tempt people. Just saying.....
A hasty 'misread' of the sentence fragment made me smile just a bit...
THAT WAS AN AMAZING VIDEO!
Check out the look on the woman to the left --- totally amazing that someone would say the TRUTH! Just WOW!
SHE was so visibly uncomfortable by what the man was saying!! (I guess going off the reservation is just not comprehensible to her)
WOW!
Your post proves that you can’t go wrong on Wright street.
lol - you’ll have to wait for Joni Ernst to take her seat before that happens.
I think it’s very nice of them to display to the y’utes of their constituency exactly how to comport one’s self when confronted with the business end of an officer’s service weapon.
Now, if we can just get the y’utes to watch C-SPAN...
..hah...put the same thought out on Twitter and it’s getting some traffic....
Yes, it was excellent. The woman refers to it as “the other side of the story”. Lol - there is no other side. There’s the lies that are being perpetrated, and then there’s the truth.
Well yes, the question was hypothetical.
But as you can see, I’m not afraid of real names on internet forums. That rule wouldn’t bother me, though I wouldn’t necessarily advocate for it either. Lot of sites going to Facebook instead of Disqus or whatever for that reason. Sites doing it voluntarily is the way, and let the public choose.
