Scarborough Now Wonders If Feds Can Be Trusted With Background Checks

Joe Scarborough is outraged, OUTRAGED, that any senator could have opposed the gun bill which went down to defeat.

Oops! That was a month ago and it now appears that Scarborough is having second thoughts on this since he wondered aloud today if the government could be trusted with performing background checks in the light of the revelations of the IRS scandal in which that agency targeted Tea Party and other conservative groups. First let us look at Scarborough in the video below the fold in full outrage mode in April when his over the top anger at the gun bill opponents was chronicled by NewsBusters' Executive Editor, Matt Sheffield.

Joe...Please send your apology to Senator Ted Cruz. He has been proven RIGHT in not trusting the government on background checks.

[brownsfan]

Joe has been bought and paid for by the raving lunatic left that runs MSNBC.

I fully expect Joe’s expansion on this to be, since the government can’t be trusted to do background checks, we should outlaw guns altogether.

GTH Joe.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Any government will eventually, sooner or later, abuse any power it has, it is an immutable law of nature.

Two words: Dead Intern.

[Travis McGee]

No fool like an old fool.

[Travis McGee]

I’m sure that was just an accident or a coincidence, and it had nothing to do with Joe’s stellar character.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Hey, Joe

Thanks for waking up to the Clinton FBI Files Scandal. About two decades too late.

[CSM]

In the progressive mind, history starts fresh every morning when they wake up. It must be a truly blissful way of life.

[Mr. K]

So Joe joins the libtards FLIP-FLOPPING on their so-called ‘principles’ because suddenly we are proved right.

The would not have to, if they used their brains in the first place.

Objecting to big government was never an emotional, feel-good issue with us, it is formed by KNOWING that this kind of stuff will happen, if you put anyone in charge of so much.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Joe needs to move over to Comedy Central with Stewart.

[arthurus]

Scarb is having a buttered toast period, as in trying to figure which side is going to land face down.

[Still Thinking]

Uh, wait, are you telling me these morons are actually capable of changing their minds when conflicting fact come to light??? They’re going to get kicked out of the lib club just for that!
