In the first half-hour of today's show, MSNBC Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough accused Fox News Channel and radio talk show host Glenn Beck of spreading hatred and whippping up raced-based assassination hysteria against Barack Obama, demanding Republicans renounce Beck.
Scarborough, a former conservative Republican congressman from Florida, attacked the libertarian Beck for spending the summer telling viewers there were FEMA detention camps being built and for saying that Obama hates "all white people."
Scarborough said the "hatred" Beck is spreading would make him responsible should Obama be assassinated. Though he didn't speak explicitly of Obama's assassination, it was clear what Scarborough meant.
Scarborough demanded that potential Republican presidential candidates denounce Beck, naming Mitt Romney in particular.

Great link. Thanks!
More alarming than that- last week there were rumors that the power brokers of the RNC were talking with Scarborough about a run for POTUS.
Scarborough is a two-faced opportunist of the worst kind.
I have no use for either.
Beck would gladly destroy the Republican party and go 3rd (guaranteeing Dem power for decades). Scarborough is a RINO Deluxe.
Laura, Rush, Sean and Levin - all conservatives, all on my dial.
So who died and made Joe Scarborough king? Unmitigated chutzpah.
Wasn’t there a Simon and Garfunkel song about him back in the 60s?
Ask Joe if an intern has died working for Beck.
Sounds like Joe Scarborough and Keith Olbermann have been exchanging bodily fluids, their estrogen levels combined have got to be off the scale.
Glenn Beck must really be stomping their asses in the ratings game.
Looks good on ‘em.
Beck took the time to debunk the rumors about this.
Long before I ever heard of Glenn Beck I said that Obama was a racist who hated white people. Read his book. He is not hiding it.
Yes.
What happened to this guy? I always remember him a solid conservative voice in congress? Someone must have dirt on him.
Glenn Beck does an amazing job of connecting all the dots. It appears the media is starting to pick up on some of this, not much, but some. Hopefully, they’ll wake up soon before we find ourselves in a Chavez-style transformation.
These would be the same RINO leaders that made Joe Wilson apologize immediately and never came out to support him and who constantly undermine and ridicule Sarah Palin.
These elites are like Meghan McCain with power. They HATE conservatives and true conservatism.
Joe would be the PERFECT candidate for those anti-conservative Republicans.
This seems like a real threat IMO. These power brokers need to be replaced or derailed ASAP.
Arguing with Idiots............
Joe must be hitting Mika’s vodka,excuse me,coffee cup!
Joe, get a life. You need one bad!!!!
PROJECTION....
Chortle.
Biggest joke I have ever heard.
This stupid “rumor” didn't start from MSNBC by any chance did it? Running Scarborough for president would be like running a worm for president. Not gonna happen. Of course he can run if he wants..he'll get up even less votes than Dennis Kucinich.
