Maybe MurryMom has a twin. At least she's good for a few
laughs with her Clinton worship.

I'm glad that conservatives like Scarborough and Michael Savage are now on MSNBC

You made excellent points Dengar! In my email I told them if their ratings are low, Savage should go 5 days a week, he is great! I also said their ratings would skyrocket if they hired Dennis Miller ;)

We report.
YOU decide.
Here is an short excerpt form the official MSNBC TRANSCRIPT of that show, now posted at http://www.msnbc.com/news/909503.asp:
 ...Welcome to SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY. I’m Joe Scarborough.
       In a moment: An insider blows the whistle on ABC News anchor Peter Jennings and his liberal bias; plus, Scott Peterson’s new defense lawyer.
       But first: MCI wants you to buy their phone service. Unfortunately, they’ve hired a spokesman who calls our president racist, blamed America for 9/11, and now he says he supports Cuba’s communist dictator.
       (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
       (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, MCI AD)
       DANNY GLOVER, ACTOR: When it comes to your home phone, you want to make local calls.
       (END VIDEO CLIP)
       SCARBOROUGH (voice-over): Actor Danny Glover likes MCI’s phone service. He also likes making a fool out of himself in blockbuster movies. But he doesn’t like America. For years, Glover has bashed this country relentlessly. He’s called President Bush a racist. And he said that America is-quote-”one of the main purveyors of violence in this world.” His lethal weapons are, of course, purveyors of peace.
       Now Glover’s signed a petition defending Fidel Castro, a tyrant who just sentenced nearly 100 pro-democracy dissidents to rot in jail. Glover and his cohorts don’t mind that kind of crackdown or the 40 years of oppression Havana’s thug has inflicted on the Cuban people. Glover says America, by pressing Castro to free his country, is “inflicting grave damage to the norms of understanding, debate and mediation among countries.”
       Right, Danny. That’s why thousands of Cubans risk their lives every year fleeing to the freedom of our shores.
       (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, MCI AD)
       GLOVER: Do you know what unlimited means in the neighborhood?
       (END VIDEO CLIP)
       SCARBOROUGH: Maybe MCI wants to be Castro’s official long-distance carrier. If not, I’m forced to wonder why they employ a man who so clearly despises America.
       (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP, MCI AD)
       GLOVER: That’s some fresh news.
       (END VIDEO CLIP)
       SCARBOROUGH: Hey, Danny, here’s some fresher news. Until MCI drops you as their spokesman, they can forget about winning any customers in SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY.
       (END VIDEOTAPE)
       SCARBOROUGH: Now, we asked Danny Glover and his spokesperson to be on the show, but they declined to appear on SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY.
       But with me now is Malik Zulu Shabazz, who serves as the head of the organization Black Lawyers For Justice.
       Mr. Shabazz, I want to thank you for being on the show tonight.
       And I want to ask you, do you think most MCI customers are aware of the fact that Danny Glover has labeled President Bush a racist?
       MALIK ZULU SHABAZZ, BLACK LAWYERS FOR JUSTICE: Even if they have and are aware that he has used this language, he is a recognized and valuable person, particularly to the black or African American community. Many MCI customers are black people. And they would be very offended if MCI were to try to make a move on Danny Glover, who has a right to critique this government and has a right to critique its foreign policy.
       SCARBOROUGH: Well, certainly, he has got a right. I agree with you. He has a right to critique that public policy. I think all Americans should get involved in the political system.
       But just like African Americans are boycotting South Carolina for the flag issue, shouldn’t MCI customers be able to boycott MCI because he thinks George Bush is a racist?
       SHABAZZ: George Bush may very well be a racist and, in my opinion...
       (LAUGHTER)
       SCARBOROUGH: OK.
       SHABAZZ: And, in my opinion, runs a racist administration, domestically and internationally. This new form of McCarthyism that you are advocating is very dangerous.
       SCARBOROUGH: Well, I really don’t understand why what I’m advocating, that MCI spokespeople can actually be held accountable to the American public, is any different from African-Americans boycotting South Carolina.
       I want to read to you what MCI said, though. They issued this following statement about their relationship with Danny Glover; “MCI continues to uphold it’s longstanding corporate policy of not commenting on socioeconomic political issues, nor on the personal political views of American citizens.”
       And, again, that’s fine. I must say, though, your comment that George Bush runs a racist administration is illuminating. Do you also agree with Mr. Glover that America was responsible for the terrorist attacks on September 11?
       SHABAZZ: I would say that America’s foreign policy, which right now is extremely unilateralist, is based on intimidation, bullying, his double standard-claimed to be against a dictatorship in Iraq, but support a dictatorship in Saudi Arabia and other countries, that this country undermines the process of peace in the world and produces violence.
       SCARBOROUGH: OK, but do you think Danny Glover was right, though, to say that America policy was responsible for the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon?
       SHABAZZ: There are many-according to the polls in Europe, 70 percent of Europeans say that American foreign policy was at the root of September 11. So there are many here and around the world who believe that these aggressive and military-based foreign policies only lead to violent reprisals and that there is a better way.
       SCARBOROUGH: OK, that’s fine.
       I want to read you something else that Mr. Glover said. And he joined other Hollywood types when he came out and took out an ad in “The New York Times” denouncing the war on terror. He compared our troops to terrorists. The ad said: “We too mourned the thousands of innocent dead and shook our heads at terrible scenes of carnage, even as we recalled similar scenes in Baghdad, Panama City, and Vietnam.”
       Again, if you agree with that, fine. And, obviously, Mr. Glover-do you think most Americans understand that Mr. Glover is comparing our U.S. troops in Gulf War I with the September 11 terrorists?
       SHABAZZ: Thirteen Iraqis being shot down by U.S. troops in the streets just for demonstrating, babies with their arms and their legs blown off. Now, even in Iraq, they’re in the streets chanting for America to remove the military presence.
       So they are saying that they are being inflicted by American terrorism. And if you go around the world, there are many other countries that would agree. So let’s be real, Joe. Let’s be real that you cannot defeat terrorism by practicing terrorism.
       SCARBOROUGH: Well, I agree. And I don’t think we’re practicing terrorism. You do and Mr. Glover does.
       But I want to thank you for being on tonight.
       SHABAZZ: Well, we come from a long tradition of black and African-American dissent that has enlightened many around the world. And you would be wise to listen to us.
       SCARBOROUGH: OK, well, I appreciate you and I have listened to you.
       I appreciate you being on tonight.
       Now, if you’re as disturbed as I am by Danny Glover’s statements and want to tell MCI, write them at: MCI World Headquarters, 2201 Loudoun County Parkway. That’s Ashburn, Virginia, 20147. You can also call them at 703-886-5600. Or go to the Web site at www.MCI.com and send them an e-mail by clicking on costumer service. I think it needs to be done. This is a disgrace...

I emailed MCI about 4-5 weeks ago about nutjob Glover and they could care less. They are not at all concerned. This Northstar group is just the minor leagues of the extortion rackets as taught by Rev. Jackson. Show them what real support is all about!

Now, we asked Danny Glover and his spokesperson to be on the show, but they declined to appear on SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY.

He and his peeps also declined to come on tonight's show, he needs a silly radio station to do it for him! And Shabazz? Is he related to the "Shabazz" Malcom X? Wouldn't that be something?! ;)

Thanks for posting the transcript. Joe is super and has a fine show. I wrote to MSNBC telling them how the leftists employng the "racist", "bigot" and "homophobe" tactics on intelligent articulate conservatives used to work, but that day is over, it's not working anymore. I added that identifying Glover as an anti-American socialist is correct it doesn't matter if he is pink, black, or zebra striped.

The liberals think the media is controlled by conservatives and the conservatives think the media is controlled by the liberals. I'm not even sure which is true

I can enlighten you on this. CNN, ABC, CBS have all admitted the media is liberal biased, and they should know, being they admitted being liberal themselves ;)
