Vice President Biden jokingly expressed his frustration toward Republicans on Tuesday, accusing them of having insincere concerns about the budget deficit.
Biden jokingly said that GOP protests about the need for a balanced budget made him want to strangle them, which the vice president quickly clarified was a figure of speech.
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, according to a pool report. To the press, thats a figure of speech.

Democratic civility. They can use all the violent metaphors they want. Republicans who use them are viewed as incivil.

The only thing worse than banned words is using a banned word and droning on with a qualifier.

Strangling is OK. It’s only shooting that’s out of bounds.

He pointed it out, though. He is actually making fun of his own proclivity for gaffes, which is probably just as well.
Next time he says something stupid, he will turn around and blame those who took it seriously.

What’s hilarious is seeing liberals having to excuse common every day expressions. Oh well - they brought it on themselves.

Strangling is OK. Its only shooting thats out of bounds.Can you fire a bullet into their throat and then tell them "I hope you strangle on it"?

Well, OK. As long as he doesn’t publish a map with surveyors marks over their districts because then that would really be some vitriolic, violent rhetoric.

It has nothing to do with incivility, and everything to do with blaming the shootings on the Republicans.

Now, now we can’t have any of that violent talk. Someone might get murdered. Oh I forgot, silly me, the left can say whatever it wants to with impunity.

To the press, thats a figure of speech. I took that to be a joke on the press for the way they twisted everything. I laughed when I read it.

Biden, Gibbs and Dupnik must have a bet on who can say the stupidest things. I’m glad I don’t have to be the judge.
