Morning Joe Hosts Blast Gibson’s Ledger Comments: ‘Sick,’ ‘Unconsciable,’ ‘Mean-Spirited’ And ‘Hateful’»

Yesterday, ThinkProgress reported that Fox News host John Gibson callously laughed at the death of actor Heath Ledger on the Tuesday edition of his radio show, suggesting he may have killed himself over the Democratic debate in South Carolina. Referencing a famous line from Brokeback Mountain, which Ledger starred in, Gibson disdainfully quipped, “Well, he found out how to quit you.”

On MSNBC’s Morning Joe this morning, hosts Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist eviscerated Gibson over his comments, which they deemed “grossly inappropriate” and “absolutely, totally out of line.” “I’ve got to tell you, that makes me nauseous,” added Brzezinski.

Scarborough and Geist focused in on the homophobic undertones of Gibson’s jokes about Ledger’s role in Brokeback Mountain:

SCARBOROUGH: Is he laughing that Heath Ledger died because he made a movie about two gay men? Is that why this young father dying was a punchline to John Gibson?

GEIST: Of course it is. That’s the implication.

SCARBOROUGH: So if you make a movie — this is now, it’s not that if you are gay, your death is a punchline. If you make a movie about being gay, your death becomes a punchline. I don’t know who syndicates this guy, but that is absolutely stunning, that John Gibson would be that mean-spirited and hateful.

Watch it:

Throughout the segment, Brzezinski was flabbergasted that Gibson may face no repercussions for his comments, at one point saying “I don’t know how you stay on the air after doing something like that, quite frankly.” Though she never actually called for Gibson to be fired, as some have inferred, she did suggest that he should not be allowed to “get away” with disparaging comments:

SCARBOROUGH: This is about as callous and harsh as anything I’ve heard. It is unspeakably rude.

BRZEZINSKI: I also just don’t see how you get away with something like that — I just don’t. I mean not that, I don’t know, I don’t know how you stay on the air. I don’t know who would listen to you. Maybe I’m not edgy enough.

Gibson is syndicated by Fox News Radio and hosts the Big Story on Fox News. Don’t let him “get away” with his “callous and harsh” remarks. Contact Fox News and John Gibson. Or give his radio show a call at 1-866-868-6861.

UPDATE: GLAAD has started a petition asking Fox News “why they continue to provide a platform for John Gibson’s cruel and tasteless comments.”

    I don’t often agree with Scarborough, but I appreciate his willingness to stand up against his own ideological brethren when they go too far. This is not the first time he’s taken on a right-wing idiot.

    Of course, it’s possible that network rivalries take precedence for him, but still…

    a trashy show, trashing another competing trashy show, isn’t nurturing the ”trust tree’. Even atheists deserve sympathy for being dead. TP devolves.

    He won’t get away with it.
    This is an example of how and why the Evangelicals repeatedly got burned by the Republicans party. Because the Republicans are evil.

    Not even the most vile hypocritical Evangelical will mock someone’s death. Death is God’s territory. Everyone knows this. This is why most folks find it reprehensible that Bush mocked Tucker when she begged for her life.


  7. linda Says:

    oh please. do you honestly think joe scarborough gives a sh!t about gibson’s hate. this is just nothing more than g.e. v. murdoch.

    yesterday, scarborough in the first half-hour noted that there was alot of speculation about drugs in ledger’s death and he wasn’t going to go there until there was proof positive.

    by the next break, scarborough had changed his tune and did a several minutes discourse on the ravages of drug use among young hollywood. and how he had friends who’d used drugs and the struggle he had to stay clean.

    15 minutes before the flip-flop.

  9. Frosty Cupcake Says:

    Joe has been a cheerleader for the Republican party for years and Republicans have gotten into power and have stayed there by, in part, constant gay bashing.

    What’s my point? I’m not sure, but Joe hasn’t exactly been helping.


  10. raynman Says:

    One of the caveats about the Freedom of Speech is that sometimes you get ignorant filth like Gibson spouting off their infantile ramblings…

    Off course, since he is paid to spout his ramblings, he’s not entirely covered by the Freedom of Speech as much as market share. And as we all know, Fox is all about market share and not so much about defending the Constitution…..

    Comment by Guido OBGYN Lover

    Wish I could go along with you on this. How do you explain the fact that we are discussing what is and is not torure in 2007….??? Wouldn’t Torutre be God’s territory too?

    Christians have been going along with this and allowing the fundies to speak for thier religion……if they continue to stand by quietly and allow this to happen then they are no better than the “Good Germans”

    Talk about liberal hypocrisy.Is this any different than Lionel on Air America making fun of the death of Steve Irwin????


  13. The Shadow Says:

    Gibson is just being a typical republican idiot. They hate people who use common sense rather than party propaganda, so they strike out at anyone under any curcumstances regardless if it’s a terric death of a young man who never knew they existed. These people are so low not even the dead can escape criticism and scorn. Gibson you are not only a azz and a jerk, but you are less then human. How dare you sit in your little world and attack a man and his girlfriend and child at a time like this. You are beneath contempt and should be fired for being such a moron. No one outside the narrow minded fools who watch Faux News listens to or cared about your stupid opinions.

    Some day you are going to die and your rotten soul is going straight to hell, don’t pass go, go straight to hell. I can’t find words to describe how ignorant and stupid you really are. Now answer that you pinhead jerk.


  14. tablogloid Says:

    Here we go again. Another day of recycling the celebrity death story. What a nasty man that Gibson is. How could he say those things? How can we say these things. We know nothing. We can only fantasize what happened to displace whatever hostility we have for drugs, gays, republicans, democrats etc.. Speculation knows no boundaries.


  15. Keyser Soze Says:

    Sorry, but how saying that the guy killed himself because he watched the debate and was an Edwards supporter is a comment about celebrity drug use? There are a lot more effective ways to get your point across without sounding like a callous, inhuman arsehole. John Gibson’s comments are not defensible.

    “Call John Gibson’s show?” You’ve got to be kidding. The very reason that hate-radio jocks make outrageous comments is to generate callers. Whatever you may decide to do in response to this, do not follow that suggestion, don’t call in to Gibson’s show. That is precisely why he made the hateful statements in the first place, is to provoke you into doing so.

    Oh! Thanks Bert! Since it was DRUG USE (which it wasn’t, all the tests came back negative) then its ok to mock his death. How moonbat silly of me. Thanks for straightening me out.

    While you’re here, what else qualifies for mocking someone dying? Its good to know the rules ahead of time.

  29. missmolly Says:

    We have already established that John Gibson is as sick as Michael Savage is.

    1) He mocks a young father who tragically died suddenly.

    2) Asked, “if The Times can’t take an argument with Kristol, how can it face down Al Qaeda?”

    3) Urges his white listeners to “do your duty. Make more babies.” because he is worried about in increasing Hispanic demographic in this country.

    4) Said that the White House deserved a medal for outing Valerie Plame.

    5) When a student at a Cleveland high school shot four people and then killed himself, Gibson said he could tell that the shooter was white, because “black shooters don’t do that; they shoot and move on.”

    6) Mocked Jon Stewart for emotional remarks Stewart made immediately following 9/11.

    7) Declared that declared that tuberculosis usually affects someone “from the third world” or who contracted “ooga booga fever”

    8) Calls himself “the whitest man in America, who is the black man’s best friend”

    9) Claimed that Barack Obama went to a fundamentalist Islamic madrassa as a child, and when CNN ran a story debunking that, claimed that the CNN reporter must have gone to the “same madrassa” and deliberately covered up extremism taught at the school.

    10) Declared that North Korea conducting nuke tests was “good news” because it distracted the press from the Foley sex scandal.

    11) Said while there are “black devils stalking their streets,” those protesting in support of the so-called Jena 6 only “wanna fight the white devil.”

    12) Claimed that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton made “a deal with Al Qaeda” to “go easier” on terrorists if elected president.

    The list goes on and on. John Gibson has always been just another shock performer masquerading as a legitimate newsman and constantly having to ratchet up his rhetoric to keep his name on the blogs. But his tone has become increasingly racist and homophobic. The fact that he’s still on Fox doesn’t speak well for Fox — in fact, it indicates that Fox apparently stands for the same things.

I could understand if Gibson knew him and knew what the hell he was talking about. This actor, and I stress the word ACTOR, played a gay man in a movie, movies aren’t real.

    It should be reported, just not by a Center for American Progress blog. Seems a little bit childish.

    Take it up with Bush and the Congressional Republicans who are working on an economic stimulus plan.

Idiots don’t even know that there is no danger of a recession — just ask the coward calling himself “john kerry”.

    You are making an assumption that everybody here would support a talk-show host who cheers the death of an innocent person just because he appears on Air America — and then using your strawman to label us hypocrites.

    We do not condemn John Gibson’s remarks because they come out of the mouth of an obvious racist and homophobe, or because he appears on Fox News. We condemn them because they are wrong, undeserved, and in extremely poor taste. Lionel’s remarks about Steve Irwin were also in extremely poor taste, but that’s not what this thread is about.

If you have 1 trillion dollars coming in and you spend 2.5 trillion something has to give. When that happens you create deficits and evenually things start to rise in price and markets go down, and you have to take credit good or bad. He has been going around talking the economy up and now he doesn’t know how this happened. Well it happened on his watch, so it’s his Recession, like it or not.

    You wanted private contractors to keep their jobs, as if the federal government is some jobs program. Iraq and the U.S. war machine is the problem in this world, and the civilian counterparts are their paper-pushing enablers.


  87. Dr. Matt Says:

    “[To define a recession,] economists rely on the…measurements of the National Bureau of Economic Research, the official arbiter of recessions and expansions.NBER has been run since 1977 by Harvard economist Martin Feldstein, an architect of the Bush tax cut and an intellectual mentor to many prominent Republican policy-makers, including Glenn Hubbard, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. According to NBER’s definition, the recession did not begin until after President Clinton left office….According to NBER, the economy peaked and started shrinking in March 2001, two months after the Bush presidency began. “The determination of a peak date in March is thus a determination that the expansion that began in March 1991 ended in March 2001 and a recession began in March.” So according to NBER, the most recent recession did not start during the Clinton administration.

    Oops.


  88. republicans hate facts Says:

    #81 - apparently, you don’t understand economics - a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth (GDP). Negative job growth for a single month (that will likely be revised up) is not a recession.
    Comment by Liberals Are Filled With Hate — January 24, 2008 @ 1:29 pm

    Recessions are usually preceded by several quarters of slowing growth and often job losses. People FEEL the recession usually BEFORE it’s called one. Before you TRY to LECTURE on a topic, catch up to SPEED - JUNIOR! Otherwise you’ll ALWAYS LOOK DUMB in addition to BEING DUMB! ;)

    I’m not sure how liberals are filled with hate expects to interact here or be taken seriously. I mean the username says “I’m here to be a dickhead”

    Shayne, I seriously doubt that these people have any shame left. If it’s ok that 1 million human beings have died in Iraq and we are redefining torture as a society then I think they consider this to be less than nothing….they are heartless……they have no problem watching people die of starvation or exposure and that is here in the United States.

    It appears that the trolls are back to their trick of pretending to be a staunch progressive and then posting the most ridiculous comments in order to make progressives look asinine.

    Dr. Matt = Past-timer who refuses to allow new progressives voices through, worries that reich-wingies will be riled by the truth.

    I’ve always hated the name matt. Common name for christian fratboys with few brains. Matt comes in a close second to Christopher.

    I’m free to comment whenever I choose, reichidiot. And the progressive voice speaks for more than you can bloviate in an entire year. Get out there and clean wash the trailor, and go FY for interfering in my personal confrontation with gummitch.
