I'd like to smash Joe Scarborough in the face with a sledge hammer

[CatWoman]

I have nothing more to add.

[Ilsa]

1. Me too, and as long as you

aren't encouraging others to do so, or stating that you are going to act on your desires, then I think your post is safe.

On second thought, I'd rather chew his head off, not physically hit him. He's such a selfish creep.

[Cracklin Charlie]

47. Personally...

I would use a somewhat smaller hammer; one that I could swing more easily than a sledge.

Ballpeen, claw, or tack hammer.

[Zeke L Brimstone]

2. Hasn't that already been done?

I mean, look at the man!

[Mira]

4. DUzy! n/t

[JNelson6563]

41. +1

[ChazII]

24. Seriously, I don't understand.

What should I be looking for?

[renie408]

55. Joe has a bit of a pug nose and squinty eyes.

He looks like he has already been smashed in the face by a sledgehammer.

[ChazII]

59. Thank you. It is just

that I am sensitive to remarks about the facially different. It is me and not you, hope this makes sense.

[gtar100]

33. It's the result of carrying a look of smugness on his face for so many years.

It's the inevitable work of time to etch onto anyone's face the attitudes and feelings carried on a daily basis. And he got "smug" written all over him.

[trumad]

3. LOL

It looks like he already had it happen.

[CatWoman]

5. he's on Meet the Press being a complete jerk asshole

won't let anyone else talk, dominating the conversation, bitching constantly about Obama.

And David Gregory just sits there and doesn't say a thing.

Now Gregory has Scar pushing his stupid book that no one will buy.

[Zeke L Brimstone]

16. Why must you break my heart?

I said that first, yet you replied to the copycat, not me

[CatWoman]

18. lol

my bad

[Zeke L Brimstone]

20. ;-)

[malaise]

6. Join the line

[CatWoman]

7. conga or soul train?

[malaise]

10. Choking with laughter

I'm in both

[LiberalElite]

36. I vote for line dance

[HappyMe]

8. Please take a number.

They are now serving number 5.

[66 dmhlt]

9. Could NOT believe when he insisted that he's NOT Partisan ...

He's one of the biggest partisan hacks MSNBC network has

Along w/ David Gregory, Chucky Todd, Matt Lauer even Brian Williams

[cthulu2016]

11. Yup. Utter scum.

[Octafish]

12. Someone or something hit Lori Klausutis in the head while she was an intern for Joe Scarborough.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2823029

Joe doesn't like to be reminded of her.

[Champion Jack]

14. No shit

[BlueCaliDem]

19. Yep. And if you try to remind him, he'll have another temper tantrum.

Joey is infamous for his temper tantrums.

[HipChick]

22. I think that needs to a be a WhoDunnit show on ID TV...

With Joe as the major suspect..

[hlthe2b]

13. Nah, with his little beady rat-like eyes, let's just set a big rat trap.

****SNAP!****



With all due respect and apologies to rats and their various cousins, for which I'd surely recommend catch and release.

[marble falls]

15. Can't wait to see the highlites reel.

[Atman]

17. You mean this guy?

[PatrynXX]

21. would be nice but we kinda need him from time to time n/t

[alfredo]

27. Yeah, to show kids that this is what happens if you don't eat your vegetables.

[PearliePoo2]

23. He's an arrogant prick with some major anger issues.

Oh...and he just got divorced...AGAIN.

[CTyankee]

26. and we know why she divorced him, don't we...

[mindwalker_i]

25. What did the sledge hammer do to deserve that?

[madrchsod]

28. it`s sunday

take a toke and chill out...

[SHRED]

29. No way...sh*t splatters

[AndyA]

30. That would get you in trouble

Better to just stop watching him, let his ratings tank, and let MSNBC pull his show. Then he can go to Faux where he belongs.

I don't watch him, it's a bad way to start the day.

MSNBC should give Joy Reid a morning show--she's more intelligent and is certainly more progressive.

[CatWoman]

32. I'm referring to his Meet the Press appearance this morning.

I'll post video as soon as its available.

[AndyA]

67. OK--I caught a small part of that

Saw he was promoting his book. Just anybody can write a book these days. Probably won't take long for it to appear on the markdown/clearance tables.

[Veilex]

31. While I understand your frustration...

Anger is the loss of control over yourself, while wanting/trying to control something or someone else.
We have to beat them at their own game.

But to do that, we can't let them control us emotionally.

[renie408]

34. If I had to guess, I am thinking the OP wasn't being literal.

They find Joe Scarborough to be an annoying, self-important prick and voiced that here where they know others feel the same.

[CatWoman]

37. one would think people can grasp the obvious....

[renie408]

38. One would...

[Veilex]

40. You can think of my comment a polite way of saying

"Lets do something about it"... though not in so many words.

I'd rather address more than merely the surface of the comment, but the underlying cause as well.
You'll have to forgive me if it was a bit obtuse.

[renie408]

42. Yeah..still not quite there, are you?

I got it. I haves good reeding compreehenshun that way.

[Veilex]

46. *shrug*

Perhaps I should have just said: "Try less crying, and do something about it"?
Except that'd be a little rude. Snark abounds on this site,
so I thought i'd not add more.
I'll be sure to be more direct next time.

[renie408]

51. Or you could just try not being a hall monitor.

Your comment assumes that the OP isn't doing anything. Why not just let a little harmless venting go on by?

I could be wrong, but I feel that comments like your first reply are a lot more about YOUR ego than about the OP's comment.

[Veilex]

58. That's one interpretation...

but just as you point out that I made an assumption about the OP,
you have also made an assumption about my motivations.

I merely tried to offer some advice. Helpful or not, it could have been
ignored or accepted as it stood. Instead, you've chosen to act as "hall monitor"
just as you've accused me of.

As to ego, everyone has an ego, without exception. Your ego prompted to to
post a reprimand to a post that, for whatever reason, offends your ego.
Perhaps you think I am pompous or attempting to appear wise for the sake
of appearance. Whatever the reason, you acted in a manner your ego dictated.

Whatever your motivations, I assure you, mine were merely an attempt
to be helpful and community minded.

I seem to have riled you, and for that, I apologize.

[renie408]

62. Ok, that's weird.

I am not particularly 'riled'. And I am not the only one who took your post as hall monitor-y.

But point taken on the hall monitor thing. Maybe I feel like it is equally community minded to allow people to vent when their post is obviously not intended to be taken literally, but if you want to offer sage advice to every person who makes an offhand comment here that is certainly your business. You are going to probably need to quit your day job, though.

[Veilex]

63. Heh, true enough...

There's not enough time in a day to offer advice every time someone comments. That and, well, I certainly don't have a corner on advice (Though I don't know how sagely it is... well intentioned, certainly... but sagely? I'd say the jury is still out on that one ). We get tons of it on this site. Some good, some bad. I just comment when something catches my attention for whatever reason. Sometimes its well received (which is something I think we all hope for) and sometimes not. I think, perhaps, this time was a swing and a miss for me. No harm no foul.

And I totally understand your point of view. There is definitely something to be said for getting something off your chest.
Though I will say this in my defense; words on a blog or forum are generally a poor communicator of a person's intent... I mean, after all, its what, 83% of communication that is non-verbal? Text on a screen leaves an awful lot to personal interpretation.

In any case, I think I'll keep my day-job

[homegirl]

43. Joe

Instead of pissing and moaning on this site about Joe send a letter to MSNBC telling them why you don't and won't watch Morning Joe. That's what I did, no response but if 50 people do likewise within the next week, there may be trouble for Joe. I can't deal with his rudeness and waited many months for someone to walk off the set after being interrupted too many times.

[renie408]

56. I bet the good people of the DU are so talented that they could both

piss and moan here about Joe AND send MSNBC a letter. I don't think that is an either/or deal.

[PearliePoo2]

61. The thing is...I LIKE his morning show...

but I like it better when HE'S NOT THERE!
The producers usually book good guests but Scar is always the rude, interrupting bastard.
I'm not alone either. On his Morning Joe Facebook page, everyone fucking rejoices when "Joey Big-Mouth" is absent!
If MSNBC reads his Facebook page at all, you'd think they'd get the picture loud and clear!
DUMP JOE...it's "MORNING MIKA"!!

[spanone]

35. i could understand if this asshole was brought to us by 'faux news'. but m$nbc?

nbc should be ashamed of itself.

k&r...

[Ezlivin]

39. Here's the tune to do it by

Thanks to Peter Gabriel!

[factsarenotfair]

44. I'd like to question him with some sodium pentothol.

[TomClash]

45. So . . .

. . . you want to improve his looks?

[graywarrior]

48. I prefer one of these--rotated right across his mug

[Iggo]

49. Just don't watch him anymore.

You gain nothing from watching that show.

So don't.

[doc03]

50. I saw him on MTP, the President has work with Republicans yada yada yada. You dumbass Republicans

made a pact before he took office to not work with him ever on anything.

[CatWoman]

52. he kept yelling that over and over

and wouldn't let anyone speak when trying to address it.

[IrishAyes]

53. Yes they did. And look where it got them.

[doc03]

54. I get just about as sick of hearing Tweety harp about how RR and Tip worked together and

his endless pimping his fucking book.

[Enthusiast]

57. Just because he killed his intern?

Cut him some slack, geez.

[lunatica]

60. When I hear him talk all I hear is the whining

They all sit around a whine about President Obama. And they interrupt each other and talk over each other 90% of the time.

[gopiscrap]

64. when talking about the Scar...anytime you can bring it up:

ask or comment about the dead intern found in his office

[kydo]

65. I'm assuming I would need to take a number as the line is probably really long

[Skittles]

66. SCHEDULING CATGAL FOR ASS KICKING

FOR WATCHNG THE JOE SHOW
