Joe Biden vs. Karl Marx
Politics Daily — Filed under: Barack Obama, Economy, Joe Biden, 2008 President, TaxesHere's Joe Biden getting grilled about Obama's "spread the wealth" comment. The blond robot behind the anchor's desk is eerily lifelike: Biden comports himself well. No gaffes. And his sense of indignation is refreshing. Substantively he reminds us that not since the late 1920s has the richest 1% of Americans been so crazy rich. BUT then at 2:47, he does that frustrating thing that politicians have a habit of doing: not telling the truth. When Biden says about ...

Obama Thug Machine Punishes TV Station for Asking Tough Questions
Flopping Aces — This is what happens to ANYONE who dares to ask critical questions in the Obama Thugocracy! I’ve often wondered why more “news” reporters don’t ask the tough questions about who and what Obama really is. Obama’s entire life has been spent in the company of Marxists with radical, anti-American views. What does he really believe? One reporter finally asked: The immediate reaction from the Obama Thug Machine was swift and harsh. The thugocracy canceled a planned interview with Joe Biden’s wife Jill saying: ...

Petty Obama Camp Cuts Off Access For TV Station After They Make Biden Look Like An Idiot
JammieWearingFool — Welcome to Obamaworld, where tough questions are forbidden . WFTV-Channel 9's Barbara West conducted a satellite interview with Sen. Joe Biden on Thursday. A friend says it's some of the best entertainment he's seen recently. What do you think? West wondered about Sen. Barack Obama's comment, to Joe the Plumber, about spreading the wealth. She quoted Karl Marx and asked how Obama isn't being a Marxist with the "spreading the wealth" comment. "Are you joking?" said Biden, who is Obama's running mate. "No," West said. West later asked Biden about his comments that Obama could be tested early on as president. She wondered if the Delaware senator was ...

"How is Senator Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?"
Althouse — WFTV’s Barbara West asks Biden a series of hard-core right-wing questions: Ha ha. Wow. You don't usually get questions like that. Biden can't believe it. But, you know, Biden handles it perfectly well. I don't see him losing his cool. He's fine. Good questions. Good answers. Ah, but what is lame is cutting off all future interviews with the station. Pussies! Here's how it looks on Drudge: Ha ha. Drudge. I love Drudge. ...

Surprise! Obama Found Palling Around With More Terrorists
Dean's World — And I use “surprise” only in the sense of “unsurprisingly, the MSM is sitting on this story so hard it makes their John Edwards love child coverage look like the very ideal of nonpartisan public-has-a-right-to-know journalism.” Apparently PLO spokesman Rashid Khalidi frequently had dinner at casa de Obama.  Be sure to watch for the same massive media coverage we would get if McCain was having family dinners with a spokesman for a right-wing terrorist group that bombed abortion clinincs. Meanwhile, Victor Hanson imagines a world where journalists do their job, and McCain runs a campaign less concerned ...

Obama camp doesn't like tough questions
Babalú Blog: an island on the net without a bearded dictator — Obama camp doesn't like tough questions Fallout : Why did Barack Obama's campaign cancel a WFTV-Channel 9 interview with Jill Biden, wife of Sen. Joe Biden? The campaign cited "an unprofessional interview" WFTV's Barbara West did Thursday with Joe Biden. In a statement Friday, Adrianne Marsh, Florida spokeswoman for Obama's campaign, said the station, in talking with Sen. Biden, was "both combative and woefully uninformed about simple facts." Marsh said West's insistence that Obama was an organizer for ACORN was "100 percent false." "In a line of questioning that would make Rush Limbaugh proud, West even went as far as to quote Karl Marx, a ...

A New Experience
Power Line — For Joe Biden, that is: being asked tough questions by a news reporter. This interview with a local TV station is fun to watch, because it makes you realize how rare it is for a Democrat to face hostile questions from the press. Really, it's almost unheard of, and you can see Biden's outrage at the idea that a television reporter is willing to challenge Democrat orthodoxy. Biden handles himself fine, in the sense that he delivers his utterly fictitious talking points with aplomb. But his outrage was shared by the Obama campaign, which promptly decreed that this station will get no more interviews. The Republicans should think about doing that ...

Biden Gets the Palin TreatmentObama Campaign Throws Tantrum
GayPatriot — Finally, a reporter, Barbara West of Orlando’s ABC affiliate, WFTV, asks Joe Biden tough questions. Instead of responding with the grace Sarah Palin showed to Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric when they posed much tougher ones, he got testy, even misrepresenting his running mate’s statements as he has, in the past, misrepresented Obama’s stands. Quoting Karl Marx’s line, “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs,” West asked how Senator Obama is “not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around,” Biden thinks she’s joking, then says, ...

I have been remiss: Biden’s interview with Barbara West
Rathergate.com — I’ve known about this since Friday, but I’ve not yet shared Joe Biden’s Thursday interview with Barbara West of WFTV in Florida. She asked him some questions which he cannot believe he’s being asked. For instance, she asks if by intoning that he wants to “spread the wealth,” is Obama adopting Marxist principles. Biden is astounded that someone would ask him that, then he denies that Obama ever said he wanted to spread the wealth. She did not get any answers from the rather slick Biden, but it’s hilarious that he’d was confronted with the realities of his ticket. And here is Ms. West responding to the Obama-Biden campaigns whines ...

Amanda Carpenter: Biden Calls Florida Anchor 'Mean'
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden says a television interviewer who asked him about Obama's "marxist" tax plans was "mean" to him. “I know this has been a pretty mean campaign," Biden said on the stump in Greenville, North Carolina Monday morning. "I was on a television station the other day and doing a satellite feed to a major network in Florida. And the anchor quotes Karl Marx and says in a sense, isn't Barack Obama Karl Marx? You know, I mean, folks, this stuff you’re hearing -- this stuff you're hearing in this campaign, some of it is pretty ugly and some of the innuendo is pretty ugly.” Biden said Obama supporters must put stop those ...
