did we even watch the same interview?

i watched this interview. I really dont see what Biden did wrong. The woman sounded like a moron. I watched it with my dad (supporting McCain) and he even thought the women was a moron.

Asking questions comparing Obama to Karl Marx is legitimate???

That's like someone coming up to McCain and saying "Can you explain to me what the difference is between your policies and those of Hitler?" Why should anyone put up with questions like that?

Are you seriously attacking the DEMOCRATIC vp about shutting out media?

Please go on. It really has been some time since I have had a good laugh.

How soon they forget. Remember when McCain's campaign cut off interviews with Larry King? And how they refused to allow Palin to be interviewed by almost everyone?

I guess George Bush Sr was a Marxist as well then, I mean he did add new taxes!

McCains are so old and tired, they are not funny anymore.

Is it election day yet?

it wasn't a legitimate question.

First off, I have not yet seen the video footage and so I was not defending his choice in answering or not. I still have no idea what you're talking about. Funny how you take an attack directed at you to be defending Obama.

first of all, its always been the case that if you earn more, you pay more taxes. Obama has already said he won't be taxing the middle class. i don't know what you're concerned about.

who do you think got you into this mess that we are in today? Bush. Yes, Bush. you have a national debt in the trillions. a deficit that is crippling the world economy. it makes economic sense to raise taxes for people who are very well off.

I sense a slight difference between Karl Marx and Adolf Hitler: in their actions as well as in their intentions. Jesus was not Gregory VII, Marx was not Stalin, whereas Hitler was almost both.

So according to the wingnuts:

Asking Biden "Aren't you embarrassed by Acorn's attempts to register phony voters, an organization that Barack Obama has been tied to in the past?" is okay.

Asking Palin what newspapers she reads or what Supreme Court cases she opposes is "gotcha journalism."

There's hypocrisy and then there are Republicans.

The first question is not only loaded, it's a FALSE premise. That makes it an illegitimate question. And that's just the first one. It's the the kind of question even Sean Hannity would be embarrassed to ask.

The other ones calling Obama a Marxist are worse than pathetic. Biden handled it about as well as he could.

I almost hate to address the wingnut panty-wetting that this will lead to some sort of press blackout during an Obama presidency. I mean, is the media in the bag for Obama or do they hate him? Wingnuts can never make up their minds, because they don't have any. No principles, no facts, no integrity. They just make it up as they go.

The McCain camp refuses to let Palin give a real press conference. And yet Obama not wanting to deal with a joke of a local TV station is supposed to be a sign of the coming Stalinism. Have they forgotten who's been president the last 8 years?

And the Obama camp has said that there will be no interviews with WFTV until AFTER the election, which is in just a few days. Oooohh, what a scary Obama media blackout.

The woman interviewing Biden was a complete idiot. Comparing Obama to Karl Marx is incredibly ridiculous.

I love how you're indignant over how Biden reacted. Give me a break.

I'm so glad this election isn't going to be dominated by voters like you. Because that would be terrifying.

Unsurprisingly, her husband is a top GOP consultant in Florida.



Wingnuts are about to mercifully relegated to the political wilderness for, what I hope is, a long time. Until they can come back as sane people.

I wouldn't be so sure of that just yet.

Also, I think it's hilarious/sad that this country still recoils in utter terror every time someone brings up Marx or socialism/communism. We need Bernie Sanders to run for president and teach a fool a thing or two about a thing or two.

Two things. First, I recoil if the charges aren't true. They aren't. Obama is not a Marxist.

Second, for Republicans to even PRETEND that they have a problem with big government after 8 years of Bush is hypocritical, dishonest, and laughable.

We are a socialist country already. No doubt about that. Less so than some, more so than others. We are not communist though and certainly won't become one under Obama.

It's called a complex question, a way of lobbing a faulty argument.

Karl Marx was an intelligent man who wrote the classic book on socio-economic philosophy, The Communist Manifesto. It really is an outstanding book - - you should read it sometime...

There have certainly been horrific real world applications in the name of Communist theory, just as there have been others in the name of Capitalist theory, but comparing Karl Marx to Hitler is way beneath you, Groucho.

What are you not getting about this? IT WASN'T A FUCKING LEGITIMATE QUESTION.

No, I was making the point that the question was just as stupid as equating Obama's policies with Marx. His policies are no more Marxist than they are the policies of Hitler, or Bozo the Clown.

BKB stop being stupid. You are making your intelligence look lower than that woman by keeping this up.
