MSNBC's faux conservative Joe Scarborough dismissed the conservative credentials of Republican front-runners Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney while promoting Jon Huntsman – the GOP darling of liberals like Jimmy Carter.
Scarborough's Politico op-ed ripped Gingrich and Romney for flip-flopping on issues like abortion and global warming. He strangely ignored the time where Huntsman, MSNBC's favorite Republican, called his fellow party members "anti-science" for disbelieving global warming – or when he supported civil unions for same sex couples.
Among the issues Scarborough singles out are Mitt Romney's flip-flopping on abortion, Newt Gingrich's appearance with Nancy Pelosi in a global warming commercial, the support of both candidates for an individual health insurance mandate, and Gingrich's opposition to the Paul Ryan plan. In contrast, he highlights the conservative positions of Huntsman on those matters.

I prefer Rachel Maddow. I’d rather get my leftist propaganda straight, rather than twisted through the prism of a pretender.
Joe, where WERE you when your close personal young attractive female office assistant died under very mysterious circumstances in YOUR Florida office and THEN you suddenly resigned from office? Did you kill her Joe? Was she pregnant with your child and had to be done away with? Didi you hire someone to do it? Make me believe you’re innocent Joe!
But Huntsman still believes those things. Therein lies the difference. He is not pandering, or altering his position for the sake of this election.
Also, all incendiary language aside, his record IS a conservative one.
Disagree with him on climate change and evolution if you will, disagree with him on civil unions (he has essentially the same position on this as George W Bush), but it really is a ridiculous leap to call Jon Huntsman a ‘liberal’.
The argument against Huntsman(a reasonable one) loses credibility with me, when ridiculous labels, get slapped around like that.
Huntsman is an electoral disaster for Obama.
Clarification: I know the article calls Huntsman “The GOP darling of liberals” rather than a ‘liberal’ out-right. But there have been those who have slapped that label on him. Silly. Very silly.
Precisely.
I no longer recognize Scarborough as a conservative. He hasn’t been one in some time.
Joe “the sell out” Scarborough. Enjoy your 30 pieces of silver, Mr. Scarborough.
Huntsman is an Obama plant.
Romney is an Obama/Soros plant.
Voted to impeach Bill Clinton on 2 counts.
Then all of sudden he sneaks to a small town named Defuniak Springs, Florida and got a divorce.
He declared he was resigning from Congress to take care of his two boys.
His aide, was murdered in Fort Walton Beach, Florida still unsolved.
He prints a newspaper and for money goes to work for ultaleftist tobacco rich law firm started by Fred Levin who had language that made him almost a billion in the legislation in Florida Legislation that included a 50 Million payoff to Hillary's brother.
He is a fraud and someone needs to find his first wife, she knows alot.
Why do you watch Morning Joe? Why subject yourself to unnecessary discomfort? Get some potato peeler earplugs and a bottle of pepper solution eyewash, it’s quicker!
“Why do you watch Morning Joe?”
Exactly.
Who gives a crap about the Obama Media Group?
Yeah. Joe sold out a long time ago.

Ann Coulter Gets Bleeped Out on ‘Morning Joe’ for Calling John McCain a ‘Douche Bag’
November 29, 2011
Of course this wasn’t the only awkward moment during her brief appearance. She later referred to the deceased Ted Kennedy as “human pestilence.”
This isn’t the first time someone has used inappropriate language on “Morning Joe.” Back in June, TIME Magazine editor Mark Halperin was suspended for calling President Obama “a dick.”
He’s right. What’s the beef? Anyone who thinks Newt is a conservative is in pure denial.
“Huntsman is an electoral disaster for Obama.”
Yes, he is. Unless of course he is some kind of fiendish Chinese Communist spy, on a mission to bring down this nation from within. *sigh* Well, at least it is more imaginative than the RINO taunts....
How could obama possibly attack him considering he picked him for China ambassodorship?
