Joe Scarborough on Bachmann: ‘She Is a Joke…Her Candidacy Is a Joke’

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough had some tough words this morning for Michele Bachmann, the state of Iowa, and anyone who believes that the congresswoman has a fighting chance at “winning anything.” Watch his comments, below:

While discussing his take on last night’s GOP debate, the “Morning Joe” host spouted off, unleashing several attacks on the GOP Rep. and calling her a “joke” several times and in many different ways and also targeting Iowans who are thinking of voting for her. NewsBusters has the transcript:

Michele Bachmann’s first answer, Mark Halperin, was “I wish the federal government had defaulted.”  Had defaulted, a week after Americans had lost–some of them perhaps lost half of their pensions. Lost half of their 401(k)s, when trillions of dollars went down the drain [pounds the table] with Americans suffering, she said that and got applause, and if anybody thinks that guys like my dad are going to be voting that way when this rolls out of Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina, in the early stages, and really gets going, they are out of their mind and they are too stupid not only to prognosticate, they are too stupid to run Slurpee machines in Des Moines. I’ll let you go now.  I got it off my chest.Michele Bachmann is a joke. She is a joke. And now I will pass it on to you.  Her answer is a joke, her candidacy is a joke, and anybody that sits here and says she has any chance of winning anything is out of their mind.  Take your straw poll, take your caucus, but Iowa, if you let her win, you prove your irrelevance once again.

Scarborough’s comments are stark contrast to his reaction to Bachmann after the first GOP debate. Back then he defended her from attackers and said she looked “in command:”

      I suppose you have no problem with Marxist Obama and his racist wife, the fact that he had a Communist/ Black Militant (Van Jones) in the administration, and that he instructed racist Eric Holder to not prosecute racist N B Panthers in Philly. That’s no joke Joey-Boy!

      Joey….Have you called out Black racists who attacked Whites at the Wisc. St. Fair or in Philly. Did you call those attacks racially-motivated? No, I didn’t think so.

      You and your bimbo buddy Mika are both Jokes. KMA!

      Wish Bachmann would have been a little more direct with the “submissive wife” comment. Glad that she is “Proud of her husband”, but any spouse married for any period of time can state that claim. It takes a lot to put up with one another. In order for me to vote for a women, I needed to hear something a little more substantial than that. Especially if she is making the claim so freely. She needs a new make-up person too.

That is what she wants! These are “entitlements”, this OUR money.

      Please direct us to the videos that you have based your questionable allegations on, or we will assume that you are just another hysterical liar attempting to rationalize your dependence on the taxpayer.
      Oh by the way, in the mid 1990s the General Accounting Office reported that that, adjusting for inflation, the average social security recipient was receiving three times as much money as the recipient had paid in. Apparently it was not really their money. In my opinion, if it is not their money, they are not entitled to it, although they might receive it as a benevolence.

      I agree, AND I understand WHY she voted against raising the debt ceiling! It wasn’t at all about “defaulting” on the debt. The money was THERE to make the current “payment.” But, with revenues declining and no “future” of them increasing to keep up with the spending, due to the set back in the economy, instead of asking for a raise in the debt ceiling they should ALL, (even Obama) worked on ways to REDUCE spending in the appropriate areas. NOT by cutting Social Security or Medicare, but, cutting out agencies used more for the purpose of “dictating” rules and regulations than going through the Legislative Branch (that is the voice of the people).

      AND, another way for government to cut spending is to do the patriotic thing and CUT their own salaries by at least 25% and cut out the, high dollar insurance benefits/retirement plans we taxpayers are paying for.

      STOP ADDING programs and bills; stimulus bill, Obamacare and using agencies to rewrite regulations to include policies like those that were in the “Cap and Trade” and the “Dream Act” Bills that didn’t pass “muster” with the Legislative Branch!

      Bachman SEES through the rhetoric that causes even MORE government spending and she aims to STOP it. But…….as with the MSM, mostly owned by leftists, they will bash anyone who dares to tell the truth.

These Liberal morons on the left want specificity from the Right, yet they never require Democrats to supply the same. Chris Matthews, for example, is so in lust with Obama. He can never come up with a reason to question Obama’s motives. Has he ever interviewed Obama? If he ever does, Obama should beware. The interview might end with Matthews humping the presidents leg like some dog in heat.

    The left want Romney because of his liberal views on Heath Care in his State. They think they can keep the Obama care plan. Also as Governor Romney put into place liberal State judges in New Hampshire. If Bachmann wins the nominee she will highlight the failings of the Obama administration. If you watch the leftist media they always place Mitt as the leading the polls because he is Rhino and they fell they can beat him.

    Did anyone really think Joe the progressive was going to say something good about her after his employer has attacked her countless times. MSNBC will tell us who they think is a threat, although I think all but one of the candidates are already bought off.

    not raising the debt ceiling does not meen default – just prioritizing expenditures – something that hasn’t been done in congress since LBJ

      If I’m not mistaken, “LBJ” (also a Dem) was the first one to start the raising of the debt, not by legislating, but by “tapping into” Social Security, a mistake that both parties seem to be unable to stop doing, since.

    I watched the debate in it’s etirety and not once did I ever hear the rubbish that she wanted america to default. These dummies are too stupid to realize that she was correct not to raise the debt ceiling. This country is on the the express line to disaster. In my opinion 3 things must be done before any other measures are taken

    flat tax
    loved paul’s comment that illegal immigrants should receive zilch, nadda, nothing
    term limits

    Bachman’s honesty is refreshing considering what we have endured with these libs

      “The rich alone use imported articles, and on these alone the whole taxes of the General Government are levied. – Our revenues liberated by the discharge of the public debt, and its surplus applied to canal, roads, schools, etc., the farmer will see his government supported, his children educated, and the face of his country made a paradise by the contributions of the rich alone, without his being called on to spend a cent from his earnings.”

    amazingly enough some people actually have the idea that it is better to suffer now, painful as it may be, and fix things so our children aren’t saddled with the brunt of the suffering later…yeah it’s gonna hurt but if we wanted to avoid the pain we should have woken up and stopped the spending a long time ago.

    So Bachmann is a jokem eh Joe? Well then explain to me why PMSNBC isn’t a bigger JOKE? I mean with a couple hundred thou of viewers, don’t you feel ridiculous? Don’t you feel like the laughing stock of the cable industry? I’d be ashamed to be on a program and channel that was so lame. So who is the bigger joke around here, Joe? Tell the truth now. Don‘t want Mika’s nose to get any bigger.

      @I.Gaspar… Agree… it’s so easy to attack from the bench. Nobody running for a presidential election should be insulted and called “a joke”. How tactless. We could look at both sides and start throwing “a joke” rocks. I feel that all of these candidates are doing a very courageous act, and I cannot believe Scarborough could mow them over with such blanketed and insulting words. Classless. I do not believe that Bachmann will get my vote, but she deserves the right to be taken seriously as everyone else does. To be honest, I am not able to watch Morning Joe for more than 30 seconds anymore.
