Joe Scarborough discovers Ken Gladney

An amazing sequence of events took place in the last hour that might have an incredible impact.

By now you’ve heard the Mike Pezzano stomping incident at the debate last night. Joe Scarborough being a reasonable man tweeted this:

Joe Objects to the stomping

Being a rather snarky fellow I answered thus:

Ken Gladney Snark

Joe being a reasonable person (no matter what some people say) was Gobsmacked!

The light dawns! Joe asks Gladney questions

The fact is the right side of the blogosphere has known and written about this for almost a year, but the MSM never touched it. Why, because I suspect news directors ignored it knowing what the beating of a black tea party person at a rally by a White supporter of the president during the healthcare debate would do. So I followed up a bunch of tweets including:

and

and

and

and

My own links and mentions of the Gladney story

Lets quote RCP:

Last week, a black gentleman named Kenneth Gladney went to a town-hall meeting hosted by Rep. Russ Carnahan, Missouri Democrat. While passing out “Don’t Tread on Me” flags, he was viciously attacked by Service Employees International Union (SEIU) members. One called him a “nigger.”

These union thugs were directed by the White House to go to the protests and “punch back twice as hard.” And they did.

While the attack was captured on video and is available on YouTube, Mr. Gladney’s horrifying story is absent from MSNBC’s 24/7 media cycle. Mr. Krugman has yet to write about it. And Mr. Cooper has yet to condemn the attack.

And here is Instapundit’s archives, and Gateway Pundit’s it’s a Gladney palooza.

Bottom line is this. Before today Joe Scarborough had no idea about the Ken Gladney case. Now he does.

What if anything he chooses to DO with this information will say an awful lot about the MSM.

Joe you didn’t just say Palin would have been more electable staying in Alaska?

It’s my first full day home and first full night sleep since my 5 state trek covering congressional elections and what do I hear when I get to see morning joe from practically the start? A memorable line from Joe Scarborough:

He said Sarah Palin although she has made money would have been better off staying in Alaska when it comes to electability.

Joe Joe Joe…

Did you happen to notice who was fighting against this administration when everyone else was saying they had to give into the Obama wave?

Did you happen to notice who has been pushing the tea party movement that is responsible for what his going to happen in this election?

Have you actually looked at home many candidates are going to get elected this year who are Sarah Palin republicans?

Joe I love you man but you guys have a huge blind spot when it comes to Sarah Palin and when you say this kind of thing it may appeal to the MSNBC base but it has no relation to objective reality.

As for polls tell me where Barack Obama was in the polls in Dec 2006 for president.

For your discussion and debate #1 Some poll results are more permanent than others

Looking at current polls. Obama is shown in poll with only 40% or so believing he deserves re-election. Joe points out in perspective saying that his polls were comparable with Clinton 2004 & Reagan 1982, can’t make this the last word…

…then in the same poll Obama is shown beating Sarah Palin in a 2012 match up and the Same Joe Scarborough touts this as more proof that she can sell books but can’t be elected and Mika breathes a sigh of relief.

My take: How is one poll a snapshot of time and the other set in stone? Joe’s point about the president is right but it applies equally to Sarah Palin. How was Reagan polling in 1978 for example?

For your discussion and debate #2 Some stories are more relevant than others

Colbert took his act to SNL The comedy connection a congressional hearing on Friday and Mika’s reaction indicates she found it just as appealing and appropriate as leading the day’s news with Paris Hilton. Her comment was classic: “Who are these people who are the 21% that approve of congress?” Mark Halperin pointed out Pelosi & Hoyer disagreed on the appearance noting that this should be a bigger story….

…yet there was not a word about the other Friday Hearings on the air DOJ RACISM SCANDALS made the Washington Post front page but as of 7:08 Morning Joe hasn’t touched it. I submit that this is not coincidence. I think democrats wanted that coverage off of TV and as far as Morning Joe goes, that’s exactly what they’ve got. As John Nolte put it: Mission Accomplished.

My Take: I know they had their education day scheduled for a while but I’d like to see Mika decide for the 8 a.m. hour to lead with Christopher Coates testimony instead of Colbert a-la Paris. She has 45 minutes. Will she do it?

but when I got downstairs Joe Scarborough making fun of Bill McCollum’s plan concerning Illegal aliens.

His point about him trailing and trying to make up ground with this is valid but saying his plan involves having them wear something yellow on the shirt just here and advising illegals “not to get on the train, they’re not taking you to Kissimmee.”

Joe I like ya but C’MON!

If I’m Imus I’m playing this clip over and over and over for the next week.

See what happens when Mika takes a week off?
