MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough on 9/11: “Trump is harming the dream of America more than any foreign adversary ever could”

Sep 11, 2018 12:34 pm By Robert Spencer

Seventeen years after 9/11, the fog of disinformation is thicker than ever. Scarborough has no idea of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, and is so bent on demonizing and destroying Trump that he equates him to the murderers of 3,000 people. In a sane media environment, Scarborough would lose his job over this. Instead, he will get accolades.

“MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough hit for saying Trump hurts ‘dream of America’ more than 9/11 terrorists,” by Brian Flood, Fox News, September 11, 2018:

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” namesake Joe Scarborough was slammed on Tuesday for tweeting that “Trump is damaging the dream of America more than any terrorist attack ever could” in promoting a column he wrote one day before the 17th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people.

Scarborough – who was one of then-candidate Trump’s strongest supporters in the media before changing his mind and turning on him – penned a column in the Washington Post headlined, “Trump is harming the dream of America more than any foreign adversary ever could.” The MSNBC host notes that America “dominated the world stage” prior to the tragic events of Sept. 11 and points out gaffes by George W. Bush and Barack Obama before attacking Trump.

“Sixteen years of strategic missteps have been followed by the maniacal moves of a man who has savaged America’s vital alliances, provided comfort to hostile foreign powers, attacked our intelligence and military communities, and lent a sympathetic ear to neo-Nazis and white supremacists across the globe,” Scarborough wrote. “For those of us still believing that Islamic extremists hate America because of the freedoms we guarantee to all people, the gravest threat Trump poses to our national security is the damage done daily to America’s image.”

Scarborough then cited a column by The New York Times’ Roger Cohen, who wrote “America is an idea. Strip freedom, human rights, democracy and the rule of law from what the United States represents to the world and America itself is gutted.”

The MSNBC talking head concluded his column by writing, “The question for voters this fall is whether their country will move beyond this troubled chapter in history or whether they will continue supporting a politician who has done more damage to the dream of America than any foreign adversary ever could.”…

      Joe doesn’t realize Trump is POTUS because people like Joe have supported policies that have stolen the “American Dream” from America’s laborers.

      Trump promised the eshewed laborers of America a better deal, a real American Dream, and they are getting it. Hillary promised more Globalism and migrants to displace American workers.

      Of course other nations, also managed by elites, are frightened that their own “Trumps” are about to emerge. Let’s hope they do…

        Establishment Democrats and Republicans, want to rid themselves
        of President Trump—the establishment does not care about Russia.
        They are just trying to use the Russians for a political purpose.

        What is really behind the attack on President Trump, is that he seems
        to be attacking globalization.

        Globalization is what the establishment cares about, American
        politicians get a lot of money from global companies. These
        companies, manufacture outside the United States deeply oppose
        trade barriers, tariffs and other actions that would regulate
        their businesses.

        Cheap labor in China got companies to heavily invest there.

        Most of America’s high tech is produced in China, and most
        of America’s critical industrial infrastructure has been shifted
        over to China. The moving of industrial infrastructure is
        a critical occurrence.

        American politicians, need the Global Lobby, its contributions and
        job opportunities, when they are out of office.

        President Trump is viewed as a threat to that Lobby, they fight him
        even though defending the transfer of trade and jobs to China is not
        likely to be popular among the average American working voter.

        President Trump has, so far, prevailed under attack from the political
        elite, who see him as a threat to their personal interest. He still has
        support, even under the most hateful media campaign of attacks
        ever known. He will probably survive attempts by prosecutors who
        seem to be influenced by these politicians and media who are
        essentially employed by these powerful Global Lobbyist.

        This President needs support and deserves so much better than this.

        This country, its people who will listen need to know this—the use
        of the bully pulpit is needed now—the President must gather and
        present these facts directly to the general public—immediately—
        strong public opinion can affect politicians, media and lobbyist .

    The thought of having these foolish, pretentious, approval-obsessed, hypocritical incessant whiners attack OUR president on 9/11, of all days, the anniversary of an event they cry crocodile tears about on camera and no doubt make jokes about at their cocktail parties and dinners with their entrenched self-congratulatory fellow celebrity-craving leftard America haters, is sickening.

    Joe Scarborough, sheesh. Have you ever noticed that when he asks a question of one of his guests, Joe’s question tends to go on and on and become a statement, and then he lets the guest talk for about 2 seconds before interrupting him and making a really long statement, and then you realize that Scarborough makes his show all about himself, and his guests are often just scenery to him. It’s embarrassing. Maybe the show has changed since I last watched it, though, because I can’t stand him or his endlessly constipated-looking partner Mika, so I haven’t watched the show in a long time. But when I did I got the impression that Joe is a narcissist and a boring one. And check out those beady little eyes reflecting that totally mediocre conformist brain.

    Hello Everyone — If you have an retro pay phone in your city, and an Islamic entity (CAIR office, campus Muslim student association, mosque) please take a bit of time today — 9/11 — to engage in a small tribute to the 2,997 lives lost. Drop 50 cents (or whatever the cost of a call is) in that pay phone and have a chat (polite but relentlessly factual) with a live voice on the other end. Talk about the “god” Allah and his endless mandates to subjugate or kill our fellow inhabitants of this planet. Ask the person why he or she bows down 5 times a day to an idol — the Kaaba —honoring such a pathological illusion. Then, if you have not been hung up on, suggest that at the next opportunity, that chat pal devote a moment to consider what will happen to his or her soul as they eventually die, and the true Creator of our lives judges them.

    The farther away we can get from the troubled chapters of U.S. history that contain the names of Clinton, Bush and Obama, the better off we all will be. America is an idea that a guy like Joe Scarborough can freely speak his mind. I see that Joe still does speak freely ……. and so does Donald Trump. America remains alive and well and there is still hope that anybody can one day become President if enough people like what that person thinks and says. It will stay that way until the people who like what Joe thinks and says become the majority. Then the next chapter in U.S. history will contain pages left blank by censorship and should you wish to fill in some of the blanks with thoughts of your own ……. well, you had better keep those thoughts to yourself.

    Mind over matter. A LOT of Americans don’t mind what MNBC (divorced from America by choice) have to say, because it doesn’t matter.

    I believe they are routinely at the bottom or near the bottom of the network ratings. Furthermore, unlike other media giants, aren’t they *owned* by GE? Hmm, a private corporation owning a media outlet that couldn’t possibly ever go biased towards how GE views things, right?

    I”d like to one day see the same medicine fed right back to these guys. A national boycott on GE products until certain talking heads on MNBC are fired. I wonder what kind of face they would make when confronted with their own tactics?

    Exaggerated talk like Scarborough’s is arguably making the Democrats a threat to democracy, because there are evidently not a few Democrats who are ready to support what would in effect be like a coup against Trump. Not a coup by the military, but a coup by means that are not legal — for example when appointed unelected officials subvert Trump’s policies though he is the elected president, or for example when the Democrats collude with high ups in the FBI to get a FISA warrant based on misleading a FISA judge in order to spy on the opposition campaign.

    Alan Dershowitz, the good Democrat, has been arguing all along that the Democrats have been trying to criminalize policy differences with Trump with respect to the endless claims of “collusion” and “obstruction of justice” and so on. Dershowitz is not a Trump supporter, he voted for Hillary, yet as a good civil libertarian he has been defending Trump against many Democrats’ attempts to criminalize policy differences. Dershowitz, a Harvard constitutional law professor, repeats that he would have said (or did say) the very same thing if Repubs tried to criminalize policy differences with Hillary.

    Thus the Democrats, who have been shouting the loudest that Trump is a fascist racist (bullsh**!) and must be removed by hook or by crook, THEY are the ones subverting the rule of law and democracy far more than Trump. However one may criticize Trump, the Democrats should be ashamed of what THEY are doing to democracy. I’ve never been much of a Republican, and never been that partisan against Dems, I agree with them on some things at times, but in these midterms I am going to vote so Republican right down the line because I am really angry at the Democratic subversion of democracy. Sometimes, to listen to the Dems, you’d think they want a one-party state. I never cared much about either of the parties, but I always cared about preserving multiparty systems, and I think the Democrats have sinned far more gravely against that lately than the Repubs, so I plan to stick it to the Dems in the voting booth.

    Since today is September 11, 2018 as its now been seventeen years since those brutal cruel vicious murderous Islamic terror attacks which had occurred on September 11, 2001 it’s therefore very appropriate to site the wisdom of the first Constitutional President of the United States of America, George Washington, who had, so well explained “To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.” Moreover President Washington stated that “However pacific the general policy of the nation may be ,it ought never be without an adequate stock of military knowledge for emergencies.”
    Furthermore, with this post- 9/11 USA it should likewise be remembered that one very good way to defeat the jihadists who compose the many brutal and deadly Islamic terror entities ,such as al Qaeda, ISIS, the Taliban, is by the means of a very strong power of US military might. As Thomas Jefferson had declared “With every barbarous people …force is law.”

    On this 17 anniversary of that murderous jihad affront against humankind and vicious attack against United States which occurred on September 11, 2001. As Americans we should and must remember that for the United States to continue as a great power in the world in spite of the current threats of the Islamic terrorism by jihadist /Muslim terrorists who are operatives of ISIS, Al Qaeda and other jihadists of other similar jihad terror entities. Americans then should have Vigilance, Conviction and, of course, Fortitude. As one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, had declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.” and “A conviction that we are right accomplishes half the difficulty of correcting wrong.” Likewise, Mr. Jefferson had also stated “Fortitude…teaches us to meet and surmount difficulties; not to fly from them.” So in other words we, as Americans, should have learned keep moving on strongly with Vigilance, Conviction and Fortitude.

    The man is talking sense that savage mad devil Trump is clueless suffocating American dreams. In the past many nations want be friendly with America. But, it has changed under Devil Trump, especially among Muslim nations. Remember, 9/11 was masterminded by evil Jews, but because Americans are fools they are still not convinced that their masters the fascist evil Zionists have hand despite overwelming evidence as they doubted that evil Jews plotted the assassination of RFK for introducing policies that could hinder their control over evil United States.

    Fist .What a fool this Joe guy is , he proved it by his very own words.. Second,those heinous and murderous jihad attack which occurred on September 11, 2001 reflects the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam, the Quran. As, for example, the Quran instructs in Sura 9:111. “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed…” Those jihadist /Muslims who were al Qaeda operatives by using jets as missiles on 9/11 were following the instruction of the Quran to “Kill and be killed” for the cause of Islam Nevertheless, the apologists for Islam still have the gall to make the claim the “Islam is a peaceful religion.” What an outlandishly false claim to make

    • ibrahim itace muhammed says

      Sep 13, 2018 at 4:29 am

      walter sieruk, Sept 11 attack masterminded by evil Jews was carried out exactly pursuant to obnoxious Talmud that spilling the bloods of non-jews is a sacrifice to God. But you don’t want say it for fear that you might be assassinated by jewish death squads ready to strike.There is nowhere the Quran authorise mass killings of human beings like in Sept 11.The verses and Hadith you have cited refer to jihad fighting with hostile non-muslim combatants at the battle front. In fact the Quran explicitly stated that terminating the life of even a single innocent human being is as grave as mass killings of the whole humanity . where does your assertion stands that mass killings of innocent people in Sept 11 by misguided terrorists hired by evil Jews was carried out in accordance with the dictates of the Quran and Hadith? Are you saying all what a Muslim does must be in accord with what the Quran teaches like mithraist christians who believe that all what they do is being guided by the satan you call Holy Spirit?
