(CNSNews.com) – Vice President Joe Biden mocked Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) on Thursday for comparing federal student loans to “stage three cancer.”
Without mentioning Akin by name, Biden said, “I don’t want to single somebody out, so rather than tell you his name, I’ll read a quote. He compared federal student loans to ‘stage three cancer of socialism,’ the ‘stage three cancer of socialism.’ You all realize you’re spreading socialism, don’t you? Which is cancerous.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
WTF is Mr. “Stand up Chuck” even talking about?
I agree with the congressman whom Biden is mocking—my congressman (and current Senate candidate) Todd Akin, who said: “America has got the equivalent of the stage three cancer of socialism, because the federal government is tampering in all kinds of stuff it has no business tampering in. . . . The government needs to get its nose out of the education business. . . . I don’t want to see the federal government getting into the student loan business. I’d be happy if they got out of it, and it went back to the private sector. The government is in way too many things. . . .”
Opposed to Socialism? Fear socialism?
The opposition is meant with Alinsky, ala Biden.
Target, isolate, mock the opposition and encourage your audience to do the same all with good humor.
This is Biden on Alinsky steroids, as he seeks to advance socialism, and of course to bring along with you the students with “young skulls full of mush” already.
uncle joe, telling it like it is...
This trillion dollars in student loan debt is not a laughing matter.
We are concerned about spending and Democrats are concentrating on making jokes
Yes. I don’t think a lot of people realize how the student debt thing is going to fall apart.
