Biden to Orlando TV Anchor: 'Are You Joking? Is This a Joke? Or Is That a Real Question?(Whimp)
Political Punch ^ | 102508 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 10/25/2008 6:37:01 PM PDT by Fred

Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., got asked some rather interesting questions from Orlando TV reporter on Thursday.

You can watch it here Youtube link of Biden interview with Barbara West

The questions are:

* If Biden is "embarrassed about the blatant attempt to register phony voters by ACORN," since Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., worked with the organization in the past;

* If Obama's comment about wanting tax policies that "spread the wealth" is "a potentially crushing political blunder";

* "You may recognize this famous quote: 'from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs.' That's from Karl Marx. How is Sen. Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?";

* Regarding Biden's comment that the world would test Obama and the Obama-Biden administration will need the support of Americans since it might not be immediately apparent Obama did the right thing -- "Are you forewarning Americans that nothing will be done and America's days as the world's leading power are over?"

* "What do you say to the people that are concerned that Barack Obama will want to turn America into a Socialist country like Sweden?"

Biden seems quite taken aback by the anchor's questions, at one point asking her, "Are you joking? Is this is a joke? Or is that a real question?"

The interview prompted the Obama-Biden campaign to cancel a subsequent interview with Jill Biden.

"The campaign cited 'an unprofessional interview' WFTV's Barbara West did Thursday with Joe Biden," reports the Orlando Sentinel. "In a statement Friday, Adrianne Marsh, Florida spokeswoman for Obama's campaign, said the station, in talking with Sen. Biden, was 'both combative and woefully uninformed about simple facts.

... In a line of questioning that would make Rush Limbaugh proud, West even went as far as to quote Karl Marx, a Communist icon, in a disturbing attempt to associate Barack Obama with socialism.'"

Let's hope other conservative leaning reporters quickly ask the important questions the leftist media clones refuse to ask of Obama Radical Inc.

Women will lead us out of this madness. Women are fearless when it comes right down to it. Men? They have to be pointed and shoved. By women.

Wow!

Thanks for the stomach-turn before breakfast.

When we talk about TROLLS I thought it had something to do with activity on the forum. Now I know it’s just slang for Democrat/Socialist women.

I got it! THAT’S why they’re socialist. If they didn’t steal wealth/survival their gene pool would certainly end here and now!

YUK!

An overdose of viagra couldn’t make it possible for me!

Agreed. A updated listing needs to be done.

The day after election day, let's hope the America voting public retained enough common sense to not place the Dem-commie-battleaxes (Obama Inc.) in the White House.

Just recently Canadian voters returned the Conservatives to Parliament in Ottawa. If the voters of Canada can prevent the treasonous Marxist cabal from gaining total political control, US voters, for the sake of national survival, better do likewise.

I’m with you, brother.

This entire election cycle has been surreal for me. I knew it was coming. What I didn’t know was how soon it would show up.

Ignore the polls and vote, no matter what!

"gotta re-educate myself and re-learn that word “unprofessional”. apparantly “unprofessional” now means “actually doing your job.”

Relax. Big Brother will be distributing the NewSpeak manuals from the Ministry of Media Re-education on the morning of January 21st, 2009.

NOT!

The drive-by-media would have the voters mistakenly believe that the Dem's 'Chosen One' has already won the election and those who refuse to bow down, better do so, or Bill Ayers and his communist henchmen will liquidate all of us.

Vote! It's not over until late election eve.
