Hotair noted Wednesday that Jimmy Hoffa is not alone in the Tea Party flame war, as Joe "Gaffe" Biden launched an "oh-so-subtle" verbal assault on the Tea Party during his keynote address at organized labor's Labor Day picnic at Cincinnati's Coney Island amusement park. "This is a different kind of fight," Biden said. "This is a fight for the existence of organized labor. You are the only folks keeping the barbarians at the gate. That's why they want you so bad."
Definition of the word "barbarian": a person in a savage, primitive state; uncivilized person; a person without culture, refinement, or education; philistine.
Very civil of you Mr. Biden.
Naturally, the journalists in the mainstream media chose to ignore such, what most liberals would say are, "heinous" remarks. However, Hoffa's vociferous proclamation was widely publicized. Why? NewsBusters' Tom Blumer has an explanation:
Biden’s statement is in an important aspect more problematic than the more widely (but not sufficiently widely) noted “son of a b*tches” comment made by Teamsters President James Hoffa Jr. in Detroit yesterday at a Labor Day event President Obama keynoted. While Hoffa was threatening and hateful, he was at least in theory speaking only for Big Labor (though Obama has essentially adopted it by not condemning it). In Cincinnati, Biden, who was elected to serve all citizens of the country, personally characterized a large plurality of those he is supposed to be serving with a word which means ”savage, primitive, uncivilized persons.”
So in the end, yes, Michele Bachmann has made her fair share of gaffes - as have other GOP presidential candidates - but the oh-so-civil comments made by the liberal leaders of this country are more hypocritical than Al Gore's gaz-guzzling, greenhouse gas-emitting jet engine.
Normally, I would say who the hell cares, but I say we stoop to their level on this one - you know, pull the Gabrielle Giffords card every time the word "barbarian" or "sons of bitches" comes spewing out of the left-wing aperture. Just a thought.
It would have made MSM headlines for months.
We should be referring to the Federal Government as the Feral Government. (But, I guess the definition could apply to ILL-ANNOY, too.)
The definitions of "feral" seem to apply now more than ever.
ACTUAL DEFINITIONS OF "Feral":
Existing in a wild or untamed state.
Having returned to an untamed state from domestication.
Of or suggestive of a wild animal; savage: a feral grin.
(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Biology) Also ferine (of animals and plants) existing in a wild or uncultivated state, esp after being domestic or cultivated
Also ferine savage; brutal
Austral derogatory slang (of a person) tending to be interested in environmental issues and having a rugged, unkempt appearance
(Spirituality, New Age, Astrology & Self-help / Astrology) Astrology associated with death - gloomy; funereal
Existing in a wild or untamed state, either naturally or having returned to such a state from domestication. in a natural state; not tamed or domesticated or cultivated; "wild geese"; "edible wild plants"
Well I am descended from the Germanic barbarian hordes.
Every day more people lose respect for the press. The MSM doesn't understand trust is harder to earn than to throw away...
Who let Plugs out of his cage?
It’s pretty sad to know that there are dogs out there that have a higher degree of intelligence than the VP. He’s so busy chasing his tail that he doesn’t see the Mac Truck that has 2012 on it’s side coming around the bend.
Poor Old Joe, It is hard being the prezs lapdog.
Who cares what Biden says. He think JOBS is a three letter word. LOL
This comment begs the posting of pictures of the Mall after the tea party events compared with the state of the Mall after liberal events. Just who, again, are the barbarians?
Personally, I prefer 'hobbit'.....
"To crush your enemies -- See them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!"
Yes? Is there a problem?
>>So Tea Partiers are hobbits, SOBs, zombies, and barbarians....
Personally, I prefer ‘hobbit’.....<<
How about “sleeping tiger”? Or “junkyard dogs”?
Heh heh....That one is always good for lols....
How about “your worst nightmare” ?
” What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women. “
Politics aside, I’m really going to miss the human gaffe machine after 2012. Someone needs to give him his own talk show. MSNBC perhaps? He reminds me of a comedian named Norm Crosby.
I think biden say’s crap out of frustration. My guess is that he prays every day for something to happen to obama, so he can become the new potentate of the U.S. Without a doubt, as a former “old senate hand” he’s tired of playing second fiddle to the former “junior senator from Illinois”.
Who and what is an Mila Kunis?
I guess it’s another leftard telling us what she thinks (which is very little). These people don’t have the guts to stand-up for what’s right out of fear that they will be pushed off the Hollywood gravytrain. I have no use for idiots like this.
