MSNBC’s Scarborough Loses It After Playing Biden’s Latest Gaffe

Oct. 3, 2012 2:50pm Becket Adams

Vice President Joe Biden during a campaign stop in Charlotte, N.C., yesterday said that the last four years have been particularly rough for the middle class, TheBlaze reported yesterday.

“This is deadly earnest, man. This is deadly earnest,” said Biden.

“How [Republicans] can justify, how they can justify raising taxes on the middle class that has been buried the last four years? How in Lord’s name can they justify raising their taxes with these tax cuts,” he added.

Of course, seeing as how Vice President Biden and President Barack Obama have been in control for the last four years (with a supermajority for the first two!), one can see how this remark came off as a bit “tone deaf.”

And after airing Biden’s latest misstep, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough (who seems to be genuinely enjoying this presidential election) just couldn’t contain himself:

“I love him!” Scarborough said after he caught his breath. “Has anybody not told him they’ve been in the White House the last four years?”

What Scarborough forgets is that all politicians are at some level morons. Oh..I nearly forgot, Joe was a politician once too. That goes for the Washington insiders and pundits especially those that exist on MSNBC. All these jokers need to take a month off, get some counseling and therapy, listen to what they say (and apparently believe) and try to start over. I fear they are all hopelessly psychotic though.

  We should offer them free summer camp next year at Liberty University, Hillsdale College, Regent University, and a few others that teach conservative values and about God. Maybe the summer camps could teach them about how to be ethical journalists at the same time.

  It isn’t Biden that has me worried, it’s that Robert Gibbs covers for him and Obama like nothing I’ve ever seen. It is pathetic that these guys still blame Bush after 4 years and both houses of Congress 2 years before Obama got elected. I think I’m losing my mind:

  I’ve watched this about 3 times now and when Plugs launches into “This is deadly earnest man..this is deadly earnest”…I bust up laughing. By the way…watch the bald black man’s reaction behind Plugs’ left shoulder when Plugs says “the last four years”…priceless.

  I read where Biden gave $300 to charity in 2011 on his taxes. I wonder if Scarborough gave more or less than Biden. The funny thing is I don’t see how the middle class paid more taxes. If they changed the rate my accountant missed it. Maybe Biden was talking about Gas prices, groceries and ever day items we just have to have. It seems Obama has doubled all the expenses we griped about under G. Bush.

  Joe has a problem keeping the story straight and sometimes he goes off track. But reality is that he is a professional divider & deceiver of people. His problem is he is old & easy to get confused! The plan to wage class warfare on the people is falling apart & it’s too late to regroup for a plan “B”. Their only hope is that diversity will win the day & that even though people know the truth about the socialization of America they will just vote democrat & jump off the cliff for the teem! But maybe the “wordsofwisdom” contained in this song called “Diversity” will enlighten them to a better idea http://www.twitmusic.com/cyou_in_song/songs/diversity

  I see this a failed attempt by Joe Scarborough to “even his score” for the massive error he made in laughing at Romney for the doctored MSNBC video which tried to portray a crowd chanting “Romney” as saying “Ryan.”
  
  By the way – the whole “Republicans raising taxes “issue is such a straw dog that it is also a joke, but no one in the media has mentioned that about this gaffe yet.

  Its pretty simple why people are voting for Obama, just like the Book of Mormon says about an ancient kingdom in the Americas:

  Just substitute Obama for Akish and you have your answer. Who ever said entitlement programs were something new. According to this reference they’ve been around for over three thousand years. Obama is just repeating history.

  Romney and Ryan aren’t 40 points ahead because the media is actively campaigning against them. If the media was doing half its job and reporting on the issues fairly, they would be up 20 points.

“… How in Lord’s name can they justify raising their taxes with these tax cuts,” he added….”

“One bright morning in the middle of the night, two white colored boys were having a fight – they turned their backs, face to face…. two deaf policemen heard the noise, came over and found two dead squirils kicking. Now if you don’t believe my stories true — ask the blind man, he saw it too.” In my best Pat impersonation: “AaaarrRrrGgggHhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!” :-)

  I prefer: “One bright morning in the middle of the night, two dead boys got up to fight. Back to back, they faced each other. They drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise, came and shot the two dead boys. If you don’t believe this lie is true, ask the blind man. He saw it too.”

Seems to me that Repubes don’t want to raise taxes on anyone… but with Obama, Biden, and the liberal media repeating this lie (among many others) OVER AND OVER… STUPID AMERICANS MIGHT BELIEVE IT.

Hey Joe, please show me ANY proposal from Repubs to raise taxes… ANY…

Meanwhile, Obamacare raises taxes on everyone… the mandate is a tax, taxes on medical devices, taxes on hospitals, taxes on tanning salons, and on and on…

No worries though, Obama’s plan is working to perfection. Soon none of us will pay taxes because none of us will have jobs…

  Despite the NOISE all over the MSM, given those hard-core dems that actually showed up at the DNC — even ‘reasonable’ democrats are likely to turn-coat and vote Romney… to DISTANCE themselves from what they know to be delusional thought. Polls or no polls – I expect half of ’47%’ will ‘FLIP’ for Romney — so when the dust settles they won’t be considered ‘certifiably INSANE’ — I think we saw that split in the “2/3 majority vote” on the Godless platform back-peddle ;-)
