'You Are a Pathetic Human Being, and You Should Be Ashamed of Yourself'

No, not Chris Matthews to Keith Olbermann. As noted here, that media odd couple have already begun to kiss and make up. Instead, it was Joe Scarborough who authored the line this morning, directing it at Obama spokesman Mark Bubriski. The cause of Joe's ire was this email statement Bubriski released to the Miami Herald [emphasis added]:

"Palin was a supporter of Pat Buchanan, a right-winger or as many Jews call him: a Nazi sympathizer."

The Morning Joe crew was unanimous in roundly condemning the Obama campaign tactic, rallying around Buchanan, one of its own, who was present on the set. Bubriski was riffing off a similar allegation made by Bob Wexler, a south Florida Dem congressman.

View video here. It's perhaps the longest video clip I've posted, but hope you'll agree the content justifies the length. Joe unleashes on Bubriski [calling him a "jackass" for good measure] three minutes in.

Obama campaign accuses Palin of supporting a “Nazi sympathizer.” Ping to Today show list.

VILE and DISGUSTING!!

It’s a good thing Palin didn’t attend a racist church for 20 years. They would really go after her for that!

dRATS cannot be shamed

Is anyone really surprised? Let them keep sniping - each time they do, another lib takes another look at McCain-Palin.

[geezerwheezer]

When your opponents are killing themselves, stay out of the way and let them tie the knot around their own necks! These Obama minions are a gift that won't stop giving!

This is not just a metaphor.

(1) Governor Palin did not endorse Buchanan in 2000.

(2) Buchanan did not start writing pro-Germany historical revisionist books until after 2000 in any case.

(3) The Jewish community in Alaska has nothing but kind things to say about Governor Palin.

Bubriski must resign for this comment. Anything less by the Obama campaign is insufficient.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I bought two of Pat Buchanan’s books. Does that make me politically radioactive?

So f***ing what.

[SolidWood]

Nice subtle brown colors MSNBC is using there.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Wexler is Wexler. He’s outrageius all the time. This guy Bubriski may be looking for work soon.

[EmilyGeiger]

bttt....will watch later

[itsthejourney]

To think these people usually can find their way to the polls.

[SolidWood]

They have party apparatchik guides.

Governor Palin did not endorse Buchanan in 2000.

Who did she endorse and where does it say?

"Barack Obama's backers emailed reporters about the divorce controversy, but refrained from on-the-record commentary about the divorce files.[7] On March 29, 2004, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider ruled that several of the Ryans' divorce records should be opened to the public, and ruled that a court-appointed referee would later decide which custody files should remain sealed to protect the interests of Ryan's young child.[8] The following week, on April 2, 2004, Barack Obama changed his position about the Ryans' soon-to-be-released divorce records, and called on Democrats to not inject them into the campaign.[7] The Ryan campaign characterized Obama's shift as hypocritical, because Obama's backers had been emailing reports about the divorce records prior to Judge Schnider's decision.[7]" from Wikipedia

It is amazing how these characters keep finding cushy jobs that involve some sort of impact on other people. Policy making, press jobs, government job. Some stuff really floats to the top, and it ain’t cream.
