      Morning Joe had me screaming at the TeeVee this morning. Joe apparently received his new set of Talking Points over the weekend.

      Among the real doozies:

      Obama is to blame for the "grassroots" anger at these town hall meetings.

      The Democrats are the ones who perfected these propaganda techniques.

      The idea that anybody has shown up with Swastikas at these meetings is laughable (even though we've seen the pictures).

      This recession wasn't really all that bad, after all.

      But, my favorite came when Mika, in reference to the deterioration of the HealthCare debate asked, in her doe-eyed innocence, "How did we get here?"

      Is she serious?

        nerzog, that's one of the reasons I let my kids watch cartoons in the morning. I hardly -ever- yell at Dora. :)

      Wait a minute, Joe. A Republican can't vote fore stimulus? It was Republicans who passed the first stimulus last Fall.

      "We gotta keep it movin'." Yes, by which Joe means that someone is refuting his talking points, and it's time for them to shut up.

      There IS a gulf between the remaining Republicans, but it's not betwen them and Obama's health coverage proposal. It's between them and the rest of the country. I'm actually kind of glad Pat got cut off.

        Didn't the Stimulus include tax cuts that republicans wanted? I think a truly democratic bill would have excluded far more of republican proposals.

      since jan. 21st., Scarborough has been pimping this claim of Obama being unwilling to work with republicans and being a radical leftist.
      whenever anyone tries to point out the truth he just talks over them - a typical republican ploy

      What GOP moderates? There are two left, both female Seantors and both will be on Obama's side. So he has been able to sway the GOP moderates.
