Joe Scarborough Explodes
At Rep. Huelskamp’s Assertion
That Newtown Tragedy Is
Being ‘Politicized’

Mediaite, by Meenal Vamburkar

Things got heated this morning on Morning Joe, when Republican congressman from Kansas, Tim Huelskamp, was asked about his thoughts on gun control following their discussion about the fiscal cliff deal. While Huelskamp’s opposition to an assault weapons ban was a point of contention, it was his assertion that the tragedy in Newtown, Conn. not be used to further a “political agenda” that sent Joe Scarborough over the edge. Stricter legislation about assault weapons won’t solve the problem, the congressman said. “It’s a people problem.” “What has bothered me the most as a representative is how this has

Morning Joke. Who cares what he thinks?

Joe Scarborough needs to visit a mental health professional, as well as turn in his firearms. Morning Joke, indeed.

Obama and the democrats are using it to fund-raise.

But that´s not politicizing the tragedy, right?

It is a rare event when any person in Power, advocates the for 2nd Amendment. It is even more rare, to see an armed terrorist shooting up a police station, NRA meeting, gun shop or gun range.

I guess I´m confused. Was Joe not concerned about guns and his childrens´ safety prior to the shootings last week? I don´t recall him being on an assault weapon ban bandwagon before this. I could be wrong, but I don´t think so.
Kinda like this whole fiscal cliff thing going on right now and very little discussion of it during the election season. Now all of a sudden it´s the biggest threat known to man.
Get over yourself Joe.
Huelskamp for Speaker.

Huelskamp´s remarks were inappropriate. How dare he say that anyone´s reaction to this tragedy is political. I am a Republican, but I am embarrassed that people in my party think that the only reason to talk about proposed law changes that could save lives is political. Get over it! Seriously mentally ill people do not need access to weapons period, and especially the type that can fire off multiple rounds in a matter of seconds. Change the laws to make this sort of access far more difficult.


Reply 14 - Posted by: mijcraw, 12/21/2012 10:27:57 AM     (No. 9077624)

So what happens when placing a ban on assault weapons and related attachments fails to provide clear results in weapon used deaths in our country? Being from NJ, seems to me it´s the same philosophy that if we throw enough money into poor school districts we will improve their education achievement.....so 20 yrs. later we are still awaiting for the positive results!

Let´s cut to the heart of the matter. The government in the hands of statists poses a much more tangible threat to me, my property and my liberty than a nut with a semiautomatic weapon. I fear the tyranny of the mob. The second amendment exists to provide us with some degree of protection if we fail to preserve liberty via the ballot box.

It really upsets liberals...and the seminar posters...when people point out the liberal strategy for gun control is based on wading in the blood of innocents. Always has been, always will be.

I might add that as long as the tyrants and the mob fear it, it will never be needed. Once we are weakened to a point that they feel comfortable its too late.

Scarborough has to take a very liberal position on gun control if he wants to keep his job on MSNBC.

I agree that the law should be toughened up to keep the mentally ill from obtaining firearms that they could use to murder a large number of people. But individual people must also take responsibility for safeguarding the firearms that they legally own. It is gross irresponsibility when a person leaves their firearms insecure where a mentally ill person living in their household can take possession of them.

Also it is an overreaction by government to talk up banning and confiscating legally owned firearms from hundreds of millions of law abiding Americans who have not shot anyone, in an overreaching political maneuver because of the homicidal criminal actions of a few mentally ill people.

No, Joe, you´re even worse, you´re exploiting this for ratings and profit.

And to our repeat poster, who is weighing in on every one of these threads about how they are ´´embarrassed.´´ I sympathize with your take on mental health issues, but what specifically are you proposing? limits on magazines? Mandatory psychiatric screening to purchase a gun? A return to the ineffectual ´´assault weapons ban?´´ Which of Connecticut´s many gun laws failed us?

The folks who are politicizing this (from the left) are just dragging out the same tired talking points that have been argued about and discredited (for the most part). They ARE using this to further their own political agenda.

Of course it is. The ´explosion´ was caused by the truth touching the guilt nerve.

On Melissa Harris-Perry Saturday morning, David Cay Johnston, an investigative reporter and professor at Syracuse University College of Law, lambasted the Obama Administration as hermetically sealed toward journalists, even in comparison to the Bush and Reagan administrations. Following a discussion on the President’s drone speech, in which the panel agreed that while drones are here to stay, the true problem is the lack of visibility and accountability into their use, Johnston expanded the point to a larger condemnation of the White House’s lack of transparency.

The emergency operating room where doctors tried to save President Kennedy´s life after he was shot has been broken into pieces and covertly stored in crates for years, guarded as if it were a state secret. As the 50th anniversary in November of the President´s assassination nears, an investigative team from local Dallas station WFAA went digging for the exact location of the broken tiles and medical equipment used on that fateful day. They found that the room was formally destroyed in 1972 when Parkland Hospital was going through an expansion and Trauma Room 1 had to be demolished.

A man who was searching for pythons discovered a piece of actual treasure instead. Mark Rubenstein was taking part in the Florida state-wide python killing competition when he discovered a gold pendant adorned with diamonds and sapphires. Mr Rubenstein found the piece of jewellery in the Everglades in February, and because of the location of the discovery, he believes that it landed in the swamp in the wreckage of a fatal plane crash. Though the Florida coast has been the site of many shipwrecks in the past, this find is not thought to be a remnant of the Spanish era

CRAWFORD —Former President George W. Bush needed little help to blaze a trail Friday for 14 veterans mountain biking with him through open prairies, slick ravines and steep canyons. That’s because he brought the third annual Warrior 100K Ride — a three-day mountain biking trek to honor service members injured in Afghanistan and Iraq — to the well-worn paths at his Prairie Chapel Ranch outside of Waco. But even as Bush welcomed the wounded warriors to his home to thank them for their service, he made clear that his mission to help veterans extends well beyond the trails

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

Washington rumor has it that Obama wants to be U.N. Secretary General. There are several reasons that make that likely, and if it´s true, it throws new light on a lot of Obama´s oddities -- including his Royalty Bows, his Apology Tours, his Muslim Sellout, and the Benghazi Cover-Up. But first -- why would Obama be planning to become the chief of the U.N. before he has even finished his second term?

On Wednesday, Drummer Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, a man who had served Queen and country honorably in the hell of Helmand Province in Afghanistan, emerged from his barracks on Wellington Street, named after the Duke thereof, in southeast London. Minutes later, he was hacked to death in broad daylight and in full view of onlookers by two men with machetes who crowed "Allahu Akbar!" as they dumped his carcass in the middle of the street like so much roadkill. As grotesque as this act of savagery was, the aftermath was even more unsettling

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience
