Stanley Crouch: "Joe Scarborough Is The Republican Pied Piper Of Common Sense"

Stanley Crouch

Asserts the moderate-liberal columnist in New York City, about the former-Congressman-turned-MSNBC-pundit: "In recent days, Scarborough has been fearless. With Republicans holding up Chuck Hagel’s confirmation to head the Pentagon, he blasted Sen. John McCain for leading the charge against his fellow Vietnam veteran: 'For the 66,000 troops currently serving in Afghanistan and for the families all across America this morning. I’m sure they’re glad to know that we don’t have a secretary of defense in place and we’re not going to because of a....political grudge.'"

Mr. Crouch continues his commentary: He was just as tough on the NRA’s increasingly insane Wayne LaPierre, who wrote a bizarre Op-Ed in which he claimed that ordinary Americans needed to protect themselves from 'additional threats' spawned by President Obama’s policies, including drug gangs and looters, not to mention the rapacious federal government. Again, Scarborough said the sensible thing, blasting the 'racial overtones' of LaPierre’s hateful piece, bluntly describing the truth gun-loving Republicans have been trying to avoid yet need to hear: 'They’re going to get hammered in future elections if they allow this clown to continue to lead them around by their nose.'"
