(CNN) - Vice President Joe Biden is known for his bluntness, and his comments Tuesday were no exception.
"If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them," Biden said at a fundraiser in Minnesota. "To the press: that's a figure of speech."

When Carl Paladino from Buffalo, running for NYS Gov. said something similar, the press jumped all over him. I’m sure the MSM will never mention this gaffe.
I’d love to see Rimshot Joe try to “strangle” someone. He better pack a lunch. LOL!
Yeah, I’m with him. Really stupid idea. Balancing the budget. I tell you! Drives me crazy even as a passing thought. Crazy Republicans.
To the Vice President: that’s assault.
If Republicans were smart they’d use this clip in ads across the country. Along with Pelosi’s “have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it” comment, as well as Grayson’s “Republicans want you to die quickly” comment, and the whole “Where in the Constitution can you force us to buy healthcare/Pelosi “Are You Serious?” reply. I’d add in the one democrat congressman who said in a video of his town hall meeting on mandating people buy health insurance, “Congress can do pretty much whatever it wants.”
So many others but if they’re smart they just ought to use the Democrats against themselves.
Unfortunately they don’t have the cojones do actually run extremely accurate and hard-hitting ads.
Agreed!
One day when they make a monument in DC to this man I hope they use this quote.
Strangle me first, you liberal idiot.
He's probably not up to choking his own chicken.
No need to explain it, Joe. No one is going to think you could handle choking a chicken.
Is this satire?
LOL!
This is one of my pet peeves: Using the plural (”them” or “their”) when the singular (”him” or “his”) is correct.
bfl
Bring it, Joe. Hope you enjoy my knee to your groin.
Hey Joe, balance the budget!

That’s what I have always thought.
We have so much ammunition, so many statements like this that make them look foolish and ridiculous and un American, I can’t believe that we don’t use them over and over in advertisements–we should be pounding them with statements like these.
Question: how can you get reelected to Congress if you think that the island of Guam is in danger of tipping over?
Bluntness my ass. There is only one person dumber than Biden in Washington and that idiot lives in the White House.
