Scarborough and Brzezinski Rip Donny Deutsch for Saying There's 'More Hate' in Tea Party Than Occupy Wall Street
There was a rather surprising moment on MSNBC's Morning Joe Friday.
When mega-rich guest Donny Deutsch said there's "more hate involved" in the Tea Party than the Occupy Wall Street movement, he was immediately jumped on by hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for the absurdity (video follows with transcript and commentary):
DONNY DEUTSCH: So the kinds of things that you guys are talking about here, which I don't think anybody can argue, and there are points, the movement needs to grow up. It needs, it’s interesting, when you partner the editorial with what you guys are saying that it needs to have a grown-up tone. Even though you didn't, or I, obviously, the Tea Party repulses me, there was an adultness to it, and there is a childlikeness, even though the message is right and it needs to happen…
JOE SCARBOROUGH, CO-HOST: Why did the Tea Party repulse you?
MIKA BRZEZINSKI, CO-HOST: What do you mean “adultness?” Same question.
DEUTSCH: Adultness? Well, basically, exactly what you said. It feels like just a bunch of kids yapping instead of, hey, this is wrong, this has to change, and this is where we have to go.
BRZEZINSKI: But it's not.
SCARBOROUGH: What do they stand for? Other than we don't like the rich?
BRZEZINSKI: I mean, look at the Time magazine article yesterday where they profile all the different types of people that are down there. There's definitely the element you talked about.
DEUTSCH: Well, of course it's different, but you look at it. Isn't there a, that needs gravitas, it doesn't have gravitas.
SCARBOROUGH: Why were you repulsed by the Tea Party? And why do you think this protest is more worthy than the Tea Party?
DEUTSCH: I didn't say it’s more worthy.
SCARBOROUGH: You said you were repulsed. You said you agree with what they're doing down there, but you were repulsed by the Tea Party.
DEUTSCH: I always felt there was a certain undertone…
SCARBOROUGH: Sort of a middle-Americanness to the Tea Party that offended you?
DEUTSCH: No, I think there was a -- there seemed to be more hate involved for lack of a better word.
SCARBOROUGH: [Laughs]
BRZEZINSKI: Really? Well, they're going to the homes now of some of these people.
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah, they're actually going to the homes and if they could drag people out and beat them, they would. Seriously, Donny, you know, nothing. You just, you take that pink tie with you to Kansas.
DEUTSCH: I was waiting six, I'm sorry, 8:47.
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah.
DEUTSCH: It took an hour and, or, no, wait I always get confused, 6:47, it took you 47 minutes to comment on my pink tie.
SCARBOROUGH: You've got twelve watches that cost $1 million each.
"There seemed to be more hate involved."
Certainly, it's not surprising that Deutsch would say this as likely close to 99 percent of the media would agree with his absurd premise.
But Mika disagreeing with him and smartly observing the hatred being directed at the rich was quite surprising.
As for Scarborough's watch comment, readers are advised that our friends at Celebrity Net Worth estimate Deutsch's fortune at $200 million.
Yet he likes the Wall Street protesters more than the Tea Party.
When are these wealthy liberals going to understand that the Occupy Wall Street movement will eventually come after them when they realize there aren't enough wealthy conservatives to confiscate funds from?
Maybe that'll be the moment folks like Deutsch realize they've backed the wrong horse - if it's not too late.

Because if they did, they'd have to talk about making some kind of amends...you know, like offering to pay tuition or student loans for a few of them.....

I was reading in my local paper the other day about our own little contingent of simpering morons gathered in a local park to be "part of the movement".
After three solid days of marching, chanting and obstructing traffic they announced that they where going to start having meetings........to define their goals and mission and clarify there "demands".
Thats right..... these twits march and squawked for THREE DAYS before they ever got around to sitting down to figure out what they were doing and and what they wanted.
Gave me a chuckle.

I made a comment on a friend's link on facebook that I don't agree with the OWS people, and some other friend of his proceeded to lecture me about how the rich don't pay their fair share, and government corruption and corporate greed. I pointed out that anyone can go to the IRS website and see that the rich actually pay the most taxes, and asked if they're against government corruption why are they camped out on Wall Street instead of the white house lawn. My friend then decided to rip into the tea party, calling them "ignorant", "uneducated", and insinuated that the tea party was racist and were only protesting because there's a black democrat in the white house. Mind you, I didn't insult the OWS folks, I just said I don't agree with them, and pointed out a couple of facts about taxes. I think maybe I won that debate, yeah?

If I unfriended all the people on FB who posted things like this I'd have perhaps 4-10 people on my friends list... and then my family would call me antisocial. ;)
I just block people who talk politics. That's not why I joined FB.

If it's always you who makes contact to meet up in person -- then he doesn't really consider you a friend, and it's all a one-way street!
Then you need to let go. Not applying for the job of life coach. Just an observation.

The visceral hatred directed at the TP from day one has waxed and waned, but never left.
Watching this jerk and Bob Beckel on The Five attribute moral failings *they* likely possess to the TP, while self identifying with the OWS'ers is hilarious.
The hate they project however, is not.

Dear Joe and MS B
This man is on you show enough that you really need a new guest or call him on his miss statements and far left propaganda when he is out of line, like yesterday. Look, I enjoy your show, but Joe, YOU let him slide on his outrageous remarks about the Tea Party. I happen to agree with lots of what they say, but I keep an open mind and you keep having folks on who represent of spew left wing policy and thoughts. Try having intelligent guest on the right-try Newt, he can out fox and out think anyone you match him with. Ms B would have a fit as she might learn something outside he comfort zone.
PS. Lawrance O'Donnell needs to be confronted by YOU, when he spews his vile hatred of anyone he disagrees with. Come on Joe, play fair...
My Best to You
