Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown took a swipe at Vice President Joe Biden today -- saying that President Obama's No. 2 was off base when he said the Republican get his facts straight when it comes to military tribunals and whether he is aware that terrorists have the right to a lawyer.
It was insulting, Brown, a critic of Obama during his recent Senate campaign, told Politico.com.
The comments came a day after Biden blasted Brown during an appearance on CBS's Face the Nation" when he said he didn't know whether the new senator from Massachusetts understands: When you get tried in a military tribunal, you get a lawyer, too.
Hes trying to give me a lesson on military law, and I didnt think it was appropriate, said Brown. And I thought he was off base when it comes to explaining to the American people that somehow I need a lesson on whether people get attorneys -- of course they get attorneys. Theres a difference as to what type of attorney theyre going to get and when theyre going to get that attorney, and how are they treated, and what rights do they in fact get.
The newly elected lawmaker, who served in the Massachusetts Army National Guard for 30 years, added, I know the military rules and regulations and procedures from A to Z."
Biden's comments are part of the Obama administration's push to defend its controversial, and unpopular, plan to try 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four cohorts in Manhattan federal court -- just a few blocks from Ground Zero -- instead of a miliary tribunal.

Old Plager-Plugs was on a rant.
They didn’t include his full quote, where he pointed out he actually served as the top military defense attorney for the MA Guard.
This pic sums up Senator Brown's response:
So when are Obama, the Democrat party, and the media (but I repeat myself) going to start demonizing the City of No?
*chortle*
Senator Scott Brown is right on. Joe Biden is now, not only the dumbest man in the entire universe, but he is now certifiably insane. You Democrat folks out there better wake up and get anti-American, socialist/communist/facist, Muslim, POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama to resign, along with Joe Biden or better yet, if they do not resign impeach both of them and, fire Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House and Harry Reid as Senate Majority leader. Failure to do those things will destroy the Democrat Party come November.
Old gaffey is at it again. I am surprised the ballerina let him off the leash....
In the spirit of the Winter Olympics, I award Senator Brown a perfect 10.
And is not Joe Biden’s military background zero? Poor boy excelled in high school athletics but was rejected by the military, wasn’t he?
Here’s another gaffe from a dim-VP:
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to
the security of a free State, the right of the people
to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
Do you remember 1987....
Thought you
might be interested in this forgotten bit of
information..........
It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of
Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran Contra hearings during
the Reagan Administration.
There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree,
but what he said was stunning!
He was being drilled by a senator,
‘Did you not recently spend close
to $60,000 for a home security system?’
Ollie replied, ‘Yes, I did, Sir.’
The senator continued,
trying to get a laugh out of the audience, ‘Isn’t that just a little excessive?’
‘No, sir,’ continued Ollie.
‘No? And why not?’ the
senator asked.
‘Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir.’
‘Threatened? By whom?’ the senator questioned.
‘By a terrorist, sir’ Ollie answered.
‘Terrorist? What terrorist could
possibly scare you that much?’
‘His name is Osama bin Laden,
sir’ Ollie replied.
At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn’t pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn’t.
A couple of people laughed at the attempt.
Then the senator continued.
‘Why are you so afraid of this man?
the senator asked.
‘Because, sir, he is the most
evil person alive that I know of’,
Ollie answered.
‘And what do you recommend we
do about him?’ asked the senator.
‘Well, sir, if it was up to me,
I would recommend that an
assassin team be formed to
eliminate him and his men from
the face of the earth.’
The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that
was shown of the clip.
By the way, that senator was Al Gore!
Also:
Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta
blew up a bus in Israel in 1986.
The Israelis captured, tried and
imprisoned him.
As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993,
Israel had to agree to release
so-called ‘political prisoners.’
However, the Israelis would not release
any with blood on their hands.
The American President at the time,
Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher,
‘insisted’ that all prisoners be released.
Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked us by
flying an airplane into Tower One
of the World Trade Center .
This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time
that the terrorists were first identified.
It was censored in the US from all
later reports.
If you agree that the American public should be made
aware of this fact, pass this on.
Do Not Break - it is 8 years strong.
This is why I always say I love YOU.....
This has not been broken since 9/11/01,
please keep it going...
This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11.
In memory of all those who perished this morning; the
passengers and the pilots on the
United Air and AA flights, the workers in the World
Trade Center and the
Pentagon, and all the innocent bystanders. Our
prayers go out to the friends and
families of the deceased.
Send this to at least 10 people to show your support
PLEASE DON’T BREAK IT!!!!!!
So Se. Brown finally sees what we’ve known all along: Joe Biden’s dumber than a bag of charcoal briquettes.
"It was insulting," Brown, a critic of Obama during his recent Senate campaign, told Politico.com.Thanks prairiebreeze.
Biden is to mankind what Barbara Boxer is to womankind.

Internet hoax. Oliver North had the system installed because of threats from Abu Nidal. Biden was not the questioner, it was committee counsel Nelds.
Oliver North has released a statement denying the emails veracity.
Biden proves once again he is an idiot.
Senator Brown is a JAG officer! Quoting FRom Senator Brown’s official bio:
“Senator Brown is a graduate of Wakefield High School, Tufts University, and Boston College Law School. He is a practicing attorney, and a 29-year member of the Massachusetts National Guard, where he currently holds the rank of Lt. Colonel in the Judge Advocate Generals Corps. Brown was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service in homeland security after the attacks of September 11, 2001.”
Senator Brown is far more qualified to comment on this subject than is Obozo’s butt buddy!
thanks for posting
Biden goes to a knife fight with a dull butter knife.
Scott Brown has an M-16.
SNL could do SO much with this cretin who IS the VP than they’ve done with the losing VP candidate in 2008.
Thank you for correcting me, I appreciate that and will send it back to the source I got it from. I apologize for not checking this out first, sorry!!!
