Joe Scarborough serves it up to HuffPost commenters

Morning Joe: Notwithstanding his hissier comments on the stimulus, a decent morning show

And duly so, I'd say. People are people, and liberals as well as conservatives have the same propensity, when things get contentious, to recede amongst themselves into groupthink. So while I do not categorically agree with Mr. Scarborough's post--commenters are never the cream of the reader-crop and shouldn't be taken as representative of readership--I commend his efforts to root out the evils of groupthink where he sees it, as I would with anybody else.

It's hard to quote an excerpt that catches the gist of his column--it's kind of a rambler--but this one boils down his beef with the commenters quite nicely:

Weeks back, I sent a post into this site describing the pride I felt seeing Barack Obama sworn in as President of the United States. Even though he was not a member of my party, he is the president of my country.

I spent the rest of that week blasting Republicans for their refusal to celebrate in the historic moment. I hardly think it conservative to cheer against a president's success.

That positive post about the new president was greeted with vitriolic responses and personal attacks from Huffington Post readers who called me everything but Adolf Hitler and a latter-day Ted Bundy.

Hmmm. Okay.

As I understand it, this is the first of what will be a weekly column by Mr. Scarborough. His series will be titled The Loyal Opposition. I think HuffPost will be the better for inviting him on.
