Scarborough Demands GOP Renounce Beck's 'Hatred'; Accuses Beck of Obama Assassination Hysteria

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.

How does he feel about the democrats renouncing Olberman and Maher.

The Joe with the dead girl found in his congressional office.

I watch Glenn Beck every afternoon (and listen to some of his radio broadcast while at work) and I have absolutely no idea what Scarborough is going on about.

[4Godsoloved..Hegave]

Sounds like Scarborough needs to stop his rhetoric about Beck. I don't listen everyday but this hit piece is an attempt to cut off at the knees the passionate conservatism that is beginning to roar from sea to shining sea. No chance of stopping this tsunami based on what we experienced in DC last week.

[J40000]

Scarborough should be thrown in jail.

This is tantamount to hollering ‘fire’ in a crowded building when there is NO fire.

Isn’t THAT still illegal???

[MadelineZapeezda]

I quit watching Joe over a month ago. Used to tune in to see what the lefties were up to....no more!

[gramho12]

"Former conservative" sounds about right.

I don't respond to these people anymore - don't want to even give them credibility. Who care what Joey thinks anyway?

[mad_as_he$$]

Exactly - but it shows how out of touch party leaders are.

[MozarkDawg]

Someone should tell Scarborough that Glenn is not a Republican and the GOP repudiated him years ago when he wouldn't tote Bush's water bucket. Little more cheese with that whine, Joey?

For the life of me, I don't understand this race-baiting hysteria -- we are told that racism is based on power by none other than Jesse Jackson, NO ONE has more power than 0bama right now, how is it possible then for anyone to be a racist by opposing him??

” Glenn Beck does an amazing job of connecting all the dots”

Early, and often. The rest of the media will one day understand, and catch up with what he is saying, and realize they missed a great opportunity to return to being real journalists.

[skinkinthegrass]

Scarborough = CNN = 0bot.

[skinkinthegrass]

Scarborough = CNN = 0bot.
pardon me...MSNBC

they're so interchangeable...
the Monica Media

, strikes again.

Now tell Glenn you're sorry you lied about him.

You dripping douche bag!

[tlb]

Leaving aside MSNBC’s assassination meme BS, *if* Beck is pushing the FEMA concentration camp story he certainly needs to be held at arms length.

When I first heard it it was mainly from the Perot people about how the New World Order would lock them all up, then they were supplanted by the general very far right wing who cried Bill Clinton was about to lock everybody with a gun up under y2k, then the right shut up while the very far left wing cried for 8 years GWB was about to lock up all the gays and subscribers to the New Republic.

In other word it’s a flashing neon sign for crackpot. Beck has and is doing wonderful things the last few weeks, but loose cannons can wind up shooting both ways.

Handle with care, and not too closely.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Glenn is NOT, see below.

Joe Scumbaggo will have to stand in line with an application.

Then we'll kick his ass and bumrush him out.

I demand Joe gets some ratings before I give a crap what he thinks.

Spectre’s a rat, not Republican.

[SmokingJoe]

“Spectre’s a rat, not Republican.”

True.
But then he already did plenty of damage to the Republican party over the past 8 years at least, before he jumped ship.
