B’Man’s Scar Watch: Holding the Right-Wing Tool Accountable

Joe Scarborough had a program on MSNBC a while back that was aired in the evenings. It was a horrible show, simply because Joe is nothing more than a right-wing tool. He was one of the first on the right to berate W, but as I have said countless times, that is now easy. You only gain the scorn of the very worst rabid Bushies, at this point, and his feigned outrage attracts ‘centrists’ and those who fall for the MSM paradigm they brainwash you with (that America is centrist, or worse, conservative). Polls show this simply is not true and that they frame what these words mean by villainizing the key words like ‘liberal’, ‘progressive’, etc.

Crazy as it is to admit, due to this brainwashing, but I am far more ‘progressive’ than I am ‘conservative’, especially when relegated to their description of ‘conservatism’.

Its much like what I tell the staunchest Christian evangelists, if being Christian means being ‘like you’, I don’t want to be one. Same with conservatism. If they hijack the word’s true meaning, then I avoid it like a plague. Today’s conservative is not really conservative… they just use the name to continue an ultra-conservative, but financially wasteful ideology of world domination. They just stole the meaning of the word.

My wife will turn on “Morning Joe” as she has her morning joe. From my office, I’ll hear her yell at the TV and will ask her, “Why even watch that shit?” She’ll say something like, “It gets me fired up in the mornings,” etc

But I can’t stand it and the few times I hear the program (even though this clip doesn’t include Joe, assuming he is on vacation or something) I hear right-wing propaganda at every interview and discussion. Especially from the stacked right-wing guests and the faux liberals they have on. Mika Brzezinski is gorgeous, but measurably just as clueless (actually, I think she knows precisely the bullshit she is laying out).

But the fact is that they continue to propagate the right-wing horseshit and when a TV icon like Dan Rather makes a mistakecomment such as calling Obama, Osama bin Laden (yes, the entire name was transposed for Obama’s last name), no one on the set bothers to correct his little faux pas. I am left to believe that there is nothing innocent about this “mistake”.

I think Obama is bad for America, but this is bullshit.
