NBC Anchor Calls on President Obama to Reinstate Draft

“Fresh off the heels of Chris Matthews’ recent rant against the “piggish” neo-cons using ads to drive Americans into needless wars, Joe Scarborough unleashed a similar conspiratorial tirade while recapping a story regarding Afghan forces firing on NATO troops,” Bryan Ballas writes at NewsBusters:

“Young Americans are going to be shot and killed over there. And that’s why when it is so easy for somebody in a think tank or somebody on Capitol Hill to sit there and say, ‘we need to stick it out.’” So Scarborough dragged out the old screed that war-supporting members of Congress and people at the Heritage Foundation need to send their own children to war.

Huh. Joe Scarborough, MSNBC’s token Republican (actually, I think we can almost safely say NBC’s token Republican at this late date), morphed into Charlie Rangel so slowly, I hardly even noticed.
