So now Joe Scarborough wants to move past the wars of the '90s
Fuck you, Joe.

Apologize for your role in STARTING those wars. You don't get to beat somebody up, then call a truce when they stand back up and start swinging.

1. It's the "Obama Syndrome".
An abuser gets to beat on his victim for years, then the victim begs for a reconciliation with the desire to "get along" and "move forward" in the "relationship". No point in rehashing old "battles" - maybe the beater was wrong, maybe his victim was wrong, but let's let by-gones be by-gones...

I cannot support Obama - not ever...

7. Order someone else around - keep that holier-than-thou garbage
away from me. All of this "can't we all just get along" is exactly what Obama is preaching. Maybe if you'd pay some attention you'd know that. I am not discussing the primaries, so I will talk about whatever I choose. Just because you don't understand something, doesn't make it "nonsense" - if that were the case, "nonsense" would be most everything...

8. Bullshit like yours
is what's making it impossible to have a discussion about ANYTHING on this board.

Yes, you have a right to be as big an asshole as you want. And I have a right to tell you that such crap is destroying this site.

10. Oh bullshit! I can't say that I think Obama's idea that the problem
in Washington is the division, is bullshit? That the division isn't the problem but a symptom of the problem? I can't say that everyone tauting this "unity" crap is just latching onto the Obama idea so as to fool the American people all over again? Me having these ideas is "destroying this site"? Drama? You bet! Just because Clinton is accused of racism, is no reason to over react whenever someone makes a statement contrary to the "Words Of Obama"...Jees, take a pill...

17. You can say it
and I can tell you it belongs in GD-P and it's the height of dickishness to hijack totally unrelated threads in GD with childish, petty Dem-bashing.

See how that works?

9. What Is That Supposed To Mean?
Sorry, but i cannot figure out what you're trying to say. It seems very disjointed. I can't follow your logic, at all.

How does Obama fit into this in any way? The subject is Scarborough.

11. A whole lot of people (many RW) are latching onto this "unity" thing.
This idea that the problem in Washington is the "division". Rather than that the division is a symptom of the problem. I think that Obama's preaching of this concept has allowed these people to grab onto this bandwagon so as to pull the wool over the American people's eyes once more. We are being set up and it is the Obama meme of unity and reconciliation that is making it, at least in part, possible.

15. OK. Now I Understand
I don't agree though. I don't have the same suspicions, i guess. Since he's from here in Illinois, i've been exposed to him longer than most. I trust him more than you do.

6. by the accounts I read
Joe was in DC when the intern died in Florida. The whole "Scarborough murdered his intern" story is about as reliable as the "Hillary killed Vince Foster" story.

There are plenty of reasons to hate Joe without tabloid-type smears.

14. Scarborough was the guy that criticized Newt Gingrich
for trying to compromise with Democrats. He thought Gingrich was too liberal.

16. i.e.: "Surrender everything, cede the field and let's move on. . ."
It's always been "never mind all those crimes we committed, take the scraps of your rights that we generously left all over the floor for you and lets keep going"

same old same old.. Well guess what?

NO!
