I’m told that Hannity’s running video of this but it’s not available online yet, alas.
In The One’s defense, he hasn’t called anyone a terrorist. When it comes to incendiary, divisive accusations, he prefers the comparative subtlety and elegance of questioning his opponents’ patriotism.
“As someone who’s been called a socialist, not born here, taking away freedoms for providing health care, I’m all for lowering the rhetoric,” Obama said [to the heckler, tea partier Ryan Rhodes]…
In an interview later with Fox News, Rhodes claimed that the President insisted that Biden had not made the original comment.
“He just denied it, he said the Vice President didn’t make any of those assertions,” said Rhodes. “He doesn’t want to even admit what was on TV nationally — all over the place — then how can you have a conversation?”
Rhodes added that Obama brushed him aside. “Then he said ‘we can’t have a conversation because you’re saying I called you a terrorist,’” recalled Rhodes. “The fact is it demonstrates the deep divide that he is unwilling to negotiate without going after the other side, the whole day was about going after republicans and talking about how unreasonable they are.”
He’s not kidding about that. The “country first” talking point was a recurring theme all day; here’s another clip of him launching into it at yet another town hall. Obama might have been able to appease this guy by at least acknowledging that there’s plenty of “tea-party terrorist” bilge coming from liberals in the media if not Congress, but there’s really no point in that. As we get closer to the election, Democrats will wield that talking point more and more brazenly in an any-weapon-to-hand approach to victory. In fact, Jonathan Last‘s already wondering how long it’ll be after Perry takes the lead in national polls before the left decides that George W. Bush, a.k.a. the new Hitler, was a genteel chap compared to this new Texan hybrid of Hitler, Bin Laden, and Yosemite Sam. Over/under: Six weeks.
The Diversion Continues.
Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House Obama is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
Tea partier heckles Obama: Why are you talking about civility when Biden’s calling us terrorists?
Good one
Doing the work most of our Republican candidates refuse to do.
I got news for Barry, he’s for a single payer heath care system, he’s for redistribution of wealth..that’s socialism..he is what he is..actually I think he’s more of a communist
Our masters are disappointed in the Tax Slaves. The stupid Tax Slaves are supposed to just shut up, work, do as told, and pay taxes. this talking back can’t be tolerated.
Let’s be clear about one thing:
A “heckler” is one who stands back and shouts jeers and insults.
This man was in line and up close, asking President Obama a legitemate question.
Not a goddam bit of heckling, there.
I think he is a RADICAL MUSLIM plant who is playing Communist/Democrat to DAMAGE the country as much as he can get away with.
Americans refuse to even consider that Obama is a traitor even though it is OBVIOUS that is what he is.
The brainwashing of Americans has been much more effective than you'll ever first believe.
Obama can deny that Biden said it but “Tea Party Terrorist” did not become the Dem talking point of the week without an OK from Axlerod, Jarrett and Obama.
“Obama can deny that Biden said it but “Tea Party Terrorist” did not become the Dem talking point of the week without an OK from Axlerod, Jarrett and Obama.”
Needs to be repeated.....

Needs to be repeated.....
ONLY Paul and Newt Gingrich(a little) are even TALKING about pruning the federal government..
The winning strategy is “someone” willing to get into your face and mention getting rid of federal government BLOAT..
Starting to cut or eliminate federal government programs..
Its true Paul does that mixed with other screwy ideas..
Whats needed is someone willing to eliminate BLOAT Without the screwy IDEAS..
PAul wants to do too much too quickly.. so he seems crazy..
BUT its not crazy at all..
LOOK what happened to Newt at the debates.. he was almost resurrected.. rehabilitated..
He’s still toast BUT somebody needs to “SEE” the implications of what he did..
A SMART campaigner would “SEE IT”... and capitalize on it..
UNLESS NONE OF THEM are willing to actually PRUNE the federal government..
Everyone knows Newt would “CAVE” in the end... but the next person I would for “WOULDn’T”..
Thats why I LUV Ron PAul... hes at least talking of “sensible things” scattered among the UNsensible things he says..
Ron Paul is the oNly UN-OBAMA... the bizarro Obama..
The opposite of Obama..
Boy, if Palin runs, 0’b is in deep do-do.
