Cast of Morning Joe--Racism, What Racism?
By Heather Thursday Sep 17, 2009 6:00am
Behold the cast of Morning Joe in full tizzy mode because Jimmy Carter dared to state the obvious about the not too thinly veiled racism behind the right wingers protesting President Obama at these Tea Bag protests, and with Joe Wilson's disrespectful outburst on the House floor calling him a liar.
From Media Matters who has more on Joe Scarborough and friends from the same show--Conservatives express outrage about charges that their attacks on Obama are racist.
A bit later Michael Eric Dyson joined the show and unlike Jonathan Capehart, actually tried to beat back some of Scarborough's nonsense. Joe apparently doesn't think that Rush Limbaugh has ever made any racist remarks.
Note to Eric Dyson. If Scar and Mika follow through and have you back on the show some time soon to talk about this some more, go get the mile long list of racist crap that's come out of Limbaugh's mouth that Media Matters has documented and have the list in front of you to read off to them the next time they have you on. Facts and actual quotations from Boss Limbaugh are not their friends.

clearly she did not understand a THING Dyson was saying. How do you even begin to dissect the idiocy in her statement using the popularity of the presidency as a direct measuring stick for racism in this country? seriously, just stick with cnbc. at least you made some sort of coherent sense when you were wrong there too.
Joe "Dead Intern in My Office...what dead intern???" Scarborough...and the rest of these poseurs should BE CALLED OUT EVERY TIME THEY PULL THEIR CRAP!!!!
Oh, BTW...how about "Barack The Magic Negro", courtesy of Rush Limbaugh (A liberal if ever there was one)?
And the food stamps with the President and watermelon?
Gee....no racism here.
And NO DEAD GIRL UNDER YOUR DESK, RIGHT????
Asshole.
It's amazing how ignorance can show up anywhere, even in front of national television audiences. Joe and his co-hostess are trying really hard to deny that racism is being directed at Obama, but they are coming off as very deliberate instead. One of the primary facets of racism is ignorance. Yet, we should not automatically couple ignorance with malice as exists the tendency to do so. I just think Joe and the two ladies in this segment just don't have a proper idea of what racism is, thus are somewhat bewildered by the whole proposition. Dyson tried to give them backdrop on why some of this stuff is racist, but they even deny that Rush Limbaugh is a racist. Only idiots look for racism at all turns, yet equally it is idiots that deny it at all turns. At least the debate is out in the open for now.
