Biden: I didn't cast Tea Partiers as "terrorists" (Biden did call Tea Party Members "terrorists")
cbs ^ | 8/1/2011 | By Brian Montopoli

Vice President Joe Biden tells CBS News that published reports that he compared Tea Party-linked lawmakers to "terrorists" during a closed-door meeting Monday are "absolutely not true."

"I did not use the terrorism word," Biden told CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor Scott Pelley.

Politico, citing "several sources in the room," reported Monday afternoon that the vice president, during a closed-door meeting with House Democrats about the deal to raise the debt limit, agreed with an argument by Rep. Mike Doyle of Pennsylvania, who reportedly asserted that "[w]e have negotiated with terrorists."

The report said the vice president asserted in response, "They have acted like terrorists."

Biden told Pelley he let lawmakers "vent" about the deal, which includes spending cuts but may not include revenue increases. (Some liberal House Democrats have vowed not to back the deal.) But he says he did not assert that he agreed with the terrorism comparison.

“MAY not include tax revenues?”

How can anyone vote for a real republican? They’re all lying scumbags.

This has been coming since Obama took office and that list of so called terrorists showed up with Right Wing extremists listed on it. Now they actually are using the word. Pretty soon we will be labeled as domestic terrorists. This is not to be overlooked or guffawed at.

Rand Paul respondes on Twitter:

“Laughable to be called ‘terrorist’ by those holding economy hostage. Prefer to be thought of as freedom fighter.

"I did not use the terrorism word,"

No, he used "terrorist".

There's a difference if you are a Clinton-type "is" is not the same as "is" person.

I prefer “terrorist” to CONVICTED PLAGIARIST. How about you, Joe?

I’m sure lapdog Scott Pelley, the Obama regime’s Minister of Disinformation, followed up on the semantics and parsing of words.

Come on tobyhill,
Joe Biden is a serious drunk.
He has no idea what he is doing from one moment to the next, only looking for his next snort.

If he's looking for his next snort then he should get with Obama.

Never mind, Obama probably smokes his.

Per Drudge (LEAD headline):

Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit.

The Demo’s are really quite rude and crude in their manners.

So, if Joe wants to lower his standards by calling people names as little kids do, he just shows what he’s made of.

If that’s the way the game is to be played I would like to say.... Joe, you’re a poo poo face.

Liberals probably fund more govt studies than any other persuasion/affliction. Where is the study confiming liberals have statistically greater shorter memory, more memory loss than most others? Huh?

Nobama was brilliant to surround himself with inept clownish crackers like “say it ain’t so joe, nasty peelousi and dingy harry. By comparison he looks to be smart.

Eventually he had to be smart, not just look smart and fell on his ass for all the world to see.

Biden suffers classic Frontal Lobe Disinhibition Syndrome, with characteristic lack of restraint and verbal diarrhea.

Brain damaged Biden doesn’t know from one minute to the next what confabulatory insanity emits from his mouth.

He had two strokes and two neurosugreries 13 years ago. He has not been right in the head since then.

Biden: Tea partiers like 'terrorists'

The title implies the new budget includes massive tax breaks, a reduction in the size of government and dramatic spending decreases.

Oh wait...

This article is for morons that can be lied to a millions times, and then continue to believe.

Apparently Biden received the same ‘talking points’ memo that Bob Beckel did.

Today on Fox, Beckel referred to the Tea Party members as “Tea Terrorists”... twice.

“Politico, citing “several sources in the room,””

Politico’, they’re like clockwork...at least weekly.
