Joe Scarborough and Time’s Mark Halperin nail it:
May I say: “Ditto” not just to Scarborough’s comments but Halerpin’s about how every single thing must be political and partisan and “in a way that’s just so bad for the country.” Bravo to Scarborough about the search for finding and cherry picking pictures of Martin “to somehow suggest he deserved to be shot…” Scarborough summarizes it: it is “beneath contempt.” He also correctly notes that NOT all conservative websites are playing this game.
