Doof Quote of the Day

“As somebody that has to sort through a lot of hate mail, a lot of hate email, a lot of viciousness. And I must say and I could print them out for people, Paul Krugman’s name is attached to a lot of those emails … They use Paul Krugman as their shield for their left-wing hate. This is because Paul Krugman, like a lot of extremists on the right, they only see their side.” —Joe Scarborough

Uh. Speechless.

    WTF? I am so confused.

  • Shane

    What??? I don’t even understand what he is saying here? That “left wing” extremists use PAUL KRUGMAN to hide their hate? Paul Krugman?? As Seth and Amy would say “Really??”

    What amazes me is that he stated the reason that they were upset by the DHS report was because it targeted veterans. Newsflash idiot it didn’t. It clearly stated that there is an attempt by right-wing extremist to recruit veterans, some who may be unhappy with their military service or with the government in general. They are susceptible to that whether we like it or not. Tim McVeigh was a Gulf-War vet, James W. von Brunn was a WWII vet. It is possible for some of the men & women who serve in the military to later have extremist views. Nobody was “targeting” veterans dipshit.

    Yeah, cause those radical left wing economy professors and authors are where all the hate stems from. You know?Ol’ Joe is having a hard time these days.

  • Dan in DE

    When your worldview is fundamentalist conservatism, any kind of logical argumentation against your ideas is ‘shrill’ and ‘vicious’.

  • Elena

    Over at the Daily Beast, Chris Buckley advocates that Joe become the new “face” of the GOP. All I can say is go for it GOP, he’s your man!

  • Skippy

    I think the last time Joe got this worked up about (some extremely well deserved) criticism it involved something Bob had written. So, for the record, Bob and a Nobel Laureate have made Joe Doucheborough cry like a baby.Now that’s goddamn awesome.

    But Eugene Robinson wrote almost the same thing, appeared on the show and Joke never confronted him at all.. was very calm with him..

    Annette,that is because Robinson would crush him with fact and common sense.

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    That’s true, so would Krugman, but they won’t let him come back on the show…lolJoan Walsh made a comment on Twitter the other day that she isn’t allowed back on there because she won’t put up with his crap.

    Can someone please show me some examples of “left-wing hate?”Is being against race-baiters, crooks, liars, scammers, and corporatists considered “hate?”If thats what they call hate, then consider me one mean spirited son of a bitch.

  • D. C.

    Is it just me, or has Joe Starbucks become just a random talking points generator?

    The only left wing “hate” I am aware of are environmental groups, the ones who blow up SUV’s. Oh, there are also the animal rights groups that go to research labs and free the animals. I have not heard of these groups actually killing humans. I have seen it on cop shows like Law and Order, but not in real life. Someone correct me if I am wrong on that.

  • brutlygodamnhonest

    There is a member of some save the environment group on the most wanted list. I don’t have time to look it up atm; but these known violent guys are killing people while being watched. Go figure.

    Bob and a Nobel Laureate have made Joe Doucheborough cry like a baby.

    Don’t forget the lather “Douche” (not Douche) has been in over Jon Stewart calling him out. Pretty good company indeed.

    I want Joe to produce these terrifying emails using Paul Krugman as a shield.QT

  • Shane

    The ELF (Earth Liberation Front) is on the FBI list because they destroy property but the ALF (Animal Liberation Front) does NOT harm humans. They break into labs and such AFTER hours and free animals, free them from unspeakable torture and cruelty btw, and I will happily take on Moaning Joe over that issue but apart from that, as QT said, I think he is full of shit. I can’t imagine anyone with any credibility whatsoever using Paul Krugman(!!!??) as a shield for anything!!!! “I hate you Joe, because Paul Krugman told me to!”?? I highly doubt it. It is fun though watching Paul smack down George Will when he appears on TW.

    Hey Bob, did you notice that your buddy Joe Scarborough is the new face of the GOP? This is according to William Buckley Jr., whose opinion matters so very much. Because his dad was a racist who made Ayn Rand cry at parties.http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-06-08/joe-scarborough-can-save-the-gop/

    thanks Shane, I couldn’t remember those easy to remember names…wow that is sad on my part

  • Shane

    Ahh no worries Veralynn! Besides, we must not allow the right wing to redefine this issue and let the media co-opt it by mixing all of this together. Things are very different – one movement advocates harm, violence and armed conflict, the other does not. I am so sick of the media’s desire to boil everything down to the smallest palatable spoonful and let the fear mongers off the hook in the process.

  • Gerrymander

    The chief spokesman for the Animal Liberation Front, Jerry Vlasak, has said that the murder of scientists would be ‘morally justifiable.’Vlasak is the Randall Terry of the animal rights movement – he won’t pull the trigger, but he is trying his damnest to inspire others to do so.Also: setting fires to labs ‘after hours’ puts the lives of late-working staff, first responders – and the activists themselves – in danger. But the last I looked, attacking labs is passe – scientists’ homes and cars are now being firebombed, at least here in LA.
