Scarborough mixes it up on Twitter, ends up looking like a Twat

(The Political Carnival)
Joe starts off with the idea, via a Pew Poll that he's misread, that Obama is the most divisive president in history.

Then Tweeter Cody jumps in:

The key to judging whether a president is polarizing is how the middle, or Independents, are seeing him. The reason is simple. A president might be as open to engagement as possible, but if his opposition is determined to destroy and demonize him from Day One, he can't do much about that. But independents give a better sense of whether the president is forcing the center to divide into two poles.

Joe:

I get it. All Bush's fault. Great. Forget all those Dems who knew about waterboarding in 2002 and loved it because they were scared.

Cody:

Answer the question Joe..... Did we prosecute the Japanese for doing the same exact thing to our POWs... or did we not?

Another poster, Shoq, reacted like this:

So Joe, let's understand . All that polarizing just started in January, right? 15 years of Fox, and you, had no influence, right?

Joe finally responded to Cody:

Americans did the "exact thing" as Japanese troops in WWII? That's just not so. The Japanese technique was far more savage.

Joe, responding to nobody in particular:

I will be back soon, but I'm wasting my time with people who call anyone who disagrees with them racists and rednecks. Wake up.

Jake Tapper came in out of nowhere, hat in hand, begging for conservative Tweeters to follow Joe's Tweet, 

"My God. Do no conservatives or moderate Democrats Twitter? I am Custer at Little Big Horn. As goes Twitter, so goes France":
conservatives -- @joeNBC is crying out for you to follow him ...he feels alone in the twuniverse

Joe ended with this:

Have a great weekend and try to have a long conversation with someone with whom you genuinely disagree. Show respect and learn something.
