Scarborough Goes on Another Anti-NRA Rant — This Time Says the Group Could Ruin 2016 Election

Jan. 30, 2013 9:33am Billy Hallowell

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough hasn’t been shy about his dislike for some of the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) tactics. This morning, he continued to rail against the organization, claiming that “extremism from the survivalist wing of the NRA” could lead Americans to elect another Democratic president in 2016. The “Morning Joe” host also warned that this cohort poses the greatest danger to the Second Amendment — a fixture of the U.S. Constitution that pro-gun advocates have been continuously defending.

Scarborough took particular aim at some claims that, by banning so-called “assault” rifles and restricting magazines, the government will eventually go after all firearms. He called such a notion “an absolute lie” that the NRA has been telling for years — one that could have damaging constitutional ramifications.

“You know what the greatest danger to that Second Amendment right and that guarantee is right now?,” the host asked. “Extremism from the survivalist wing of the NRA that impacts Republicans’ policies nationwide and moves the Republican Party so far away from mainstream America that they lose the House, they lose the Senate again in ’14, and they lose the presidency again. And the next president will be Democratic.”

Watch Scarborough’s claim that survivalists in the NRA are “the greatest danger to gun rights,” below (this portion of the discussion starts around 9:00):

90 percent support… sencible regulations… survivalists, gun nuts, bitter clingers… Substitute Jews, rats class enemies on and on. Mexico has very restrictive gun laws. But, “we have to do something…”

Where is your proof this works.. ANYWHERE… Joe is an accomplished LIAR.

OK! One more opportunity to say it.
“… the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
“…shall not be infringed.”

Infringed from Infringe
INFRINGE, v.t. infrinj’. [L. infringo; in and frango,to break. See Break.]

1. To break, as contracts; to violate, either positively by contravention, or negatively by non-fulfillment or neglect of performance. A prince or a private person infringes an agreement or covenant by neglecting to perform its conditions, as well as by doing what is stipulated not to be done.

2. To break; to violate; to transgress; to neglect to fulfill or obey; as, to infringe a law.

3. To destroy or hinder; as, to infringe efficacy. [Little used.]

No government anybody, no matter who they are , what position they hold, has the legal right, authority or anything else to violate the 2 amendment; particularly the “…shall not be infringed.”

Even any discussion about this has no merit. Folks can talk about it, complain about it, whine like little girls about it, but it is all wasted effort and energy about something that, I think, is being used to disguise some other deviant action Obama and his little “Howdy Doody” puppets are doing behind the scenes away from the public’s eyes and ears.

  You should not have to repeat that again. The issue at hand isn’t the guns.
  We should focus on the minds and hearts of these messed up criminals.
  Oh… and enforce the laws already on the books.
  Start with Michael Moore’s security team weapon violation, or MSNBC visuals.
  Enforce the laws!

  WALNUT,
  F uck the minds and hearts of those committing crimes today they have already been ruined….We need to have swift and extreme justice applied to the criminals today to send a message to the criminals of tommorow. Public square executions,cainings,stockades just make really harsh example out of them….And return the prisons back to prisons and not a gangsters home away from home with all the creature comforts. Zero tolerence today will destroy the criminal element of tommorow.

I really do not understand “Republicans” like Scarborough or Colin Powell. Their idea of a republican party has no perceptible difference from the democratic party. Like liberal ideals then at least be intellectually honest with yourself and become in reality a democrat. I have yet to heat Joe or Colin espouse a real conservative ideal.

Joe Scabbies is NOT a conservative just because he “says he is a Republican”!! Being a Republican does NOT mean you are a Conservative!!! Joe of course is worried that his liberal buddies won’t be re-elected in 2014 or 2016…we should be SO LUCKY to reach the next election cycle!!!!

  Well said.
  
  Presumably he has a Repugnican member’s card in his wallet that he paid thousands of dollars to the party. The GOP is the right-wing of the progressive Ruling Class of the US, the demoncraps are the left-wing. Only The Constitution Party represents the conservative Country Class of US.

“Publicly demonize anyone who thinks against the agenda”. This is the fastest and easiest way to get people in to “check”.

People don’t remember “sticks and stones” when there is a billion dollar organization on the line. NRA will simply cave, just like every other supposed “patriotic American”.

I don’t have to say it because many are, but it’s time to stand up as an “organized America”, and stop just quietly “blogging” about our country being undermined – but then “be hushed” in public because of fear for your job or loosing friends.

I GUARANTEE you within the next four years the American Flag WILL be changed from red / white striped to “rainbow” stripes.

“Life is becoming so demanding and hard”. It’s not “life” honey, it’s the “tolerant demands” PLACED within the every day life of AMERICANS!! WE ARE AMERICA – not Egypt, Iraq, Mexico, China, etc.. STAND UP AND BE PROUD TO BE IN AMERICA! I know it’s the “in thing” to hate this country and treat everyone as equal even though they’re only here on a visa. But THAT is the problem! STOP BEING TOLERANT AND BE PROUD OF YOUR COUNTRY!

  Joe may appeal to the ‘low informed’ voter and for that he gets the big bucks. When it comes to dispensing reason Joe comes off like an idiot. When Joe was a politician I though he was going places. He did. He’s become a media whore and a not so bright one at that.

By 2016 the landscape will have veered off towards another “crisis” meant to strip us of our rights and liberties. Actually its amnesty of 11 million criminals that will doom the GOP. Those 11 million criminals will turn the US into a Socialist cesspool, just like their home country.

Can this moron count? 59,134,475 million people voted for Romney. Liberals act like 1 hobo and a cat voted for Romney. Obama got 62,611,250 votes which isnt a “landslide” unless you look at electoral votes which dont mean **** to me. Guys like this tool want to pretend no one votes conservative anymore. I got news for you. Nearly SIXTY MILLION did.

This guy is just screeching to get himself heard. He goes to the left of all his radical liberal friends on MSLSD to get along and now he has zero ratings. More people heard about his rant here today than actually saw him on TV.

Just let him be irrelevant in silence and fade away,

  It is amazing to me how the people who screech the loudest about gun control, can afford to surround themselves with armed guards. I wonder what the story would look like if this was a bill to make private armed guards illegal for government officials, high end private schools, Hollywood actors, liberal reported, and high dollar busy-bodies. What would the tone of screeching would be then?

  Conservatism, anti-progressivism is a three-legged stool. If you remove any one leg, fiscal, social or foreign, it’s just a two-legged turd walking.

A “ruined” 2016 election for a liberal is a really good thing for the nation. No wonder MSNBC has such poor ratings that only slide downward.

Negative D*psh*t, it’s you and your RINO masters that ruined this election, and will ruin the next one.

You’re gonna run Christie as Prez, and Rubio as vice prez, and you’re gonna lose every real conservative, the Tea Party, Libertarians, Christians, Gunowners, and in the mind of all of you elitists, that’ll be a good thing.

Then when Hillary tromps your A**in 2016 you’ll whine, moan, and blame it on conservatives. PFTT!!!

Sorry, I hope the NRA does ruin your election. I hope we develop a viable 3rd party and run your A** out of town!

He is just another Left Wing Media parrot running their newest Blame Game rhetoric. The current target is the NRA / guns. Next, the Left Wing Media parrots will target conservative media / Fox / Limbaugh/ Beck/ Drudge. The Left is very predictable, nasty, and ” organized.”

US elected The Lord of Lies twice, why not a third time, but why blame the NRA for being true to its principles? Compromise is failure on the installment plan, particularly with an intractably ignorant enemy as Scarborough mouth of the Lord of Lies.

MOLON LABE Lord of Flies, Lord of Lies.

Joe you’re a stupid sob if you don’t think the government wants a total gun ban because that’s what they’ve been working towards for many years. Joe, you and our one party system can go to hell,you’re an idiot and worse you’re creating more idiots like yourself everyday with the BS you spew.

  Prog-You are spot on. The federal govts. attempts at overreaching gun control is like mice wanting to ban mouse traps or flies trying to ban Raid. The more they push for the controls the more obvious it is how dangerous it would be.
