In reply to the discussion: What is your opinion of Joe Scarborough? [View all]kwassa
(23,340 posts)51. Scarborough attacked fellow conservatives for vilifying Trayvon Martin
I saw it by accident

On MSNBCs Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough delivered a devastating critique of conservative sites that have engaged in a coordinated effort to tarnish the reputation of Trayvon Martin in death.
Why is it that some on the right are actually taking this up as a cause, asked an incredulous Scarborough. As National Review said almost immediately after it happened, this has nothing to do with gun rights, this has nothing to do with the second amendment, this has nothing to do with stand your ground laws, this has nothing to do with the NRA. This has everything to do with a guy who is trying to play security cop, who is unhinged, who chased down and shot a 17-year-old kid armed with Skittles and iced tea.

I kind of like him...just because the bar is so low. Yes, he's a loudmouth BUT

Odd dynamic. I don't really like him or Mika either - but I sort of like the show anyway

Self-absorbed ego manic. Brazen liar. But the overall show is pretty good.
