    It is the liberals that are trying to make this about terrorism, just like they tried to make Obama opposition about race. What will be next? What could possibly trump "terrorist"? I cannot think of anything worse, but I bet the liberals will...as soon this new label wears off.

    No matter what they come up with, we will have to press the pause button to take time to combat the lies/labels, then we can push on back to discussing policy.

    Thank you for sharing that. It demonstrates me to be correct. The charge that Biden called the Tea Party congressmen "Terrorists" is anonymous hearsay.


    Let's assume for a second that Biden did say that on "Meet the Press". He said something like "Those Tea Partiers in the House were acting like Terrorists in drawing no quarter for us to cave to their demands....holding the threat of default over our heads if we didn't give in".

    OK. He hypothetically would have insulted congressional tactics by some congressmen. They were the target of his ire.

    Why then would a couple of Iowans who identify with the Tea Party be personally insulted? unless they are emotionally bound in some sick way to the people in congress?

    Would an Obama sychophant similarly say "I am not a communist!", as if they were personally called a communist....and not Obama?


    If they would, I would consider it the same sort of mental/emotional dysfunction.

    None of them have been elected by a Tea Party push, either. Duh.

    The TP and R party is generally moving in a small L libertarian direction - NOT to the religious right.
    We need morals and ethics back in this country as well as fiscal conservationism. But that's not the same as a move to the traditional "religious right". Morals and ethics are not OWNED by religion.


    Pay attention.

    That's all the progressives here do. They just stamp their pro Keds and call people stupid, racists, ect. It's pretty boring frankly.

    The Anonymous sources? who reported the vague version of the statement?

    I have no idea who they are. How am I supposed to know their credibility or their motives?



    When I hear stuff like this, I can't bank on the information. I can't assume it to be true or not to be true.

    Just more t-party ambush "journalism".

    While terrorists might be extremists, not all extremists are terrorists. So just calling the t-party extremists does not automatically equate with calling them terrorists like the t-bagger ambushers were asserting.

    If you want to see true avoidance, watch this comparison:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHNtev6WX34"]Leadership challenge: President Obama v. Governor Rick Perry - YouTube[/ame]

    Or maybe President Obama can move to a paid "town hall" format like Paul Ryan.

    Obama's violent rhetoric:


    ** Obama: “They Bring a Knife…We Bring a Gun”

    ** Obama to His Followers: “Get in Their Faces!”

    ** Obama on ACORN Mobs: “I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!”

    ** Obama to His Mercenary Army: “Hit Back Twice As Hard”

    ** Obama on the private sector: “We talk to these folks… so I know whose ass to kick.“

    ** Obama to voters: Republican victory would mean “hand to hand combat”

    ** Obama to lib supporters: “It’s time to Fight for it.”

    ** Obama to Latino supporters: “Punish your enemies.”

    ** Obama to democrats: “I’m itching for a fight.”

    Good luck defending that, Libs.

    If they were in a private meeting, do you think they want to be exposed? The term terrorist was being thrown around in a room full of democrats, that's a fact, Biden denies touching it, and you believe him?

    I don't wish upon you any ill will, but I trust that once you have lived a long and fruitless life and some government worker digs your final resting place in a potter's field, that your epitaph on your stone reads: Insults Duly Noted.

    This way we will know which grave to visit when we are drunk and need to take a p!ss.

    I don't believe any of them....they're politicians and anonymous ones at that...

    That means all I can say is "I don't know what happened".


    - For the people in the video to run with this in the president's face is moronic.
    - For them to have taken personal offense at the alleged insult directed at members of congress is deranged.

    The Biden smear as reported by Obama-loving Politico was not limited to any specific Tea Party member.

    So the two people in Iowa had a right to object to such language whether they belong to the Tea Party or not.

    I've given up expecting libs and moderates to see both sides of the story but if they could I think they would agree that Biden was out of line.

    Can you show me the video and or sound clip where Biden called the t-party terrori... err, I mean the t-party members terrorists?

    How about the direct quote with corroboration.

    Funny we never heard of Biden objecting to that type of rhetoric, but I guess that is what we can expect from violent inciting liberals.

    But since it was only democrats in a room, and all of them on the same page with no denial the congress critter lib called them terrorists, you actually believe there was no follow up comments?

    Please take someone with you when you go to buy a car, because you will surely get screwed.

    The alleged comment itself was not specific.

    No they are emotionally wrapped up people in Iowa who feel slighted at something that was said behind closed doors in Washington about the goings on in the debt debate.

    If you heard from a stranger that my brother called Van Halen a bunch of (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)bags because they ran their concert short and you are big Van Halen fan....(let's say you are captain of the Van Halen Fan Club), and you come over to me telling me that you're not a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)bag........how am I supposed to make logical sense of that?

    Emotional problems.....that's all I could possibly conclude.

    Biden is a walking gaffe machine. I'm amazed at the actual infrequency of his gaffes as Vice President.

    I don't like the guy or feel like I want to defend him, but on this score, he didn't get caught in any confirmable way.

    The way to get screwed is to mistake anonymous rumor for truth.....

    Why would it even come up if it wasn't said and heard by several others?

    Why would they lie? What is there to gain from lying?

    Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists,” according to several sources in the room.

    That would be nice, but gay marriage seems to disagree with your religious right appeasement assessment.

    Personally I am a pragmatic hedonist I think government should work effectively and for my and others pleasure. Therefore, I support gay marriage, if only so I can watch Gay Divorce Court on my TV.

    Cute, todd. I remember you writing on your LPU group thread that you were gonna refer to them as the "t-party" for "terrorist party".

    In fact it was August 3rd. You said:
    So that would be hypocritical of you to question it. :roll:
