Scarborough to GOP: Punch ´bullies,´
´cowards´ on talk radio in the face

Daily Caller, by Jeff Poor

Original Article

Posted By:Donttaxmebro, 12/10/2012 9:57:10 AM

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough has a solution for the Republican Party’s electoral woes: take on conservative talk radio. On Monday’s “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, Scarborough likened conservative talkers to schoolyard bullies and suggested Republicans “punch them in the face,” which is something Mitt Romney failed to do during his campaign, Scarborough said. “What do you do to a schoolyard bully? You punch them in the face. You think any of these people on talk radio, if they’re punched in the face by a Republican nominee, you think they would push back?” Scarborough said. “No, they are cowards.

Comments:
Morning Schmo used to talk about being the "Keep Calm and Carry On" voice of reason. Now he´s inciting metaphorical violence.

This from a guy who is doing the most clowardly, I mean cowardly (or do I mean Clowardly) thing of all - which is to be the "house boy" conservative for a liberal outlet.

What is it that´s making me think of the tar baby here? Can´t you just picture Romney trying to hit Rush in the face? Conservatives have toughened up; it´s the Karl Roves who are pansies.

Of course, this means Joe was turned down by Roger Ailes for a Fox gig, and so he wants to increase his MSNBC cred, which will happen after Rush, Levin, Hannity, and others, skewer him today.

Let´s see, why don´t we compare the ratings. How many people hear Joe.....how many people listen to conservative talk radio.

Hey Joe, we aren´t Republicans. We are CONSERVATIVES. When the Republican Party ceases to be conservative.....we cease to be Republicans. THAT is what the party is afraid of and what puts them in a bind. We might not be able to elect all the conservatives we need. But we can sure as hell put the Republican Party dead in the water.

So........make my day!

Scarborough like the "progressive" crowd he runs with can only react emotionally and irrationally. With all this talk about punching bullies, he hasn´t set forth his arguments why conservatives´ ideas are found wanting or untrue, safe for the fact that these ideas may be currently unpopular, thanks to Obamascare tactics, and may not have resulted in victory for the Republicans this time. Or perhaps, Obama did cheat and steal the election.

These ideas are important enough not to be censored by the "end justifies the means" Republican elite, just to grasp for power because they are the same ideas that may help reanimate a dying American culture slowly picked off by the ravening vultures of the Hollyweird-Lamestream Media Complex.

Joe has a credibility problem. He voluntarily appears on a network that has Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow. Scarborough allowed Chris Matthews to call Reince Priebus a racist at the GOP convention...on Joe´s show...as Joe sat there. Joe Scarborough has a regular guest in John Heileman. The same Heileman appeared on Chris Matthews show and said that the word ´Chicago´ (when used by Republicans) was racist code. Scarborough´s show has Al "Freddie Fashion Mart" Sharpton as a regular guest. That is Joe Scarborough.

Time to stop letting MSNBC lead the discussion.

If I hear or read any conservative publication repeating anything from MSNBC, I immediately turn them off or stop reading.

Conservative news outlets have so many other priorities we should be focusing on. And we´re not. And MSNBC knows it. Scarborough and Chris Matthews have their jobs for one reason - MSNBC knows that they get under our skin. And because they do, these guys lead the discussion.

Conservative media needs to begin focusing on the results of failed liberal policies. Interview some Black Americans who can´t get jobs. Interview some Mexican citizens who´s loved ones were killed with the guns that Eric Holder sent across the border. Let´s have a talk with Ambassador Christ Steven´s family - we heard a lot from Valerie Plame´s husband!

Quit following the liberal´s lead. Change the discussion, turn up the heat on them for a change.

On his radio show this week, conservative talker Mark Levin said that Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who on Tuesday claimed that opponents of same-sex marriage do nothing but “thump the Bible,” should stop degrading his audience. “Thump the Bible?” Levin asked. “Have I thumped the Bible once in an hour and a half on the air today? … Why are you putting down your audience? I thought you stood for the folks. And you sound like [President Barack] Obama, with the ‘clinging to their guns and religion’ line. You should show respect to your audience.”

On Dennis Prager’s radio show on Monday, conservative commentator Ann Coulter offered her takeaways from last weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference held outside Washington, D.C., where Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul won the event’s presidential straw poll. Coulter, author of “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama,” explained how that happened, which led to her critique of the libertarian movement within college campuses and its antics. “’How did that happen?’ you’re wondering,” she said. “Ron Paul used to win every year because these libertarian

In covering the selection of Pope Francis I, many in the media speculated as to whether the new head of the Roman Catholic Church would take a more liberal theological position on homosexuality and abortion. But in his regular Thursday appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, Mark Steyn, author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” viewed that media speculation along with other “trivial” aspects of the coverage to be ridiculous considering the church has held those same beliefs for thousands of years now. “Well, you know, I think the papal coverage in the so-called serious media

The United States Department of Agriculture has been working to dispel immigrants’ concerns that getting on Food Stamps will harm their chances of becoming U.S. citizens. The USDA addresses those fears in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamp, brochures it distributes to Mexican consulates as part of its “partnership” with the Mexican government “to help educate eligible Mexican nationals living in the United States about available nutrition assistance.” In one portion of the brochure, USDA’s text asks, “If I get on SNAP benefits, will I be a “public charge?’”

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home.

The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent
