Biden smacksdown a reporter

[Makron5]

If Mccain's terrorist ties and Keating 5 were brought up in a review like this with such direct loaded questions, Conservatives would shit a brick.

[Kettle17]

BTW her husband is a Republican Strategist.

It looks to me that someone wants to work for fox news.

[jayrush72]

They banded this tv station, becuase it asked him a hard question. This will be Obama's plan when he's in the whitehouse. Ban free speach(especialy fox news). Ban guns, hell we might need them to keep us from having our houses redistributed to the poor. Gun sales are up across the nation right now. Spew hate. See an assasination plot uncovered. Hate begets hate.

[DarkConcept66]

Typical ignorant person who shouldn't vote.

[pretendsuperman85]

Fox News is paragon of free speech? HAH. I've never read something so laughable.

[Miko5000]

jayrush72, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. For Christ's sake, you can't even spell speech. NO ONE SPEWS HATE LIKE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Just look at the last 8 years, they've managed to scare us into two wars and numerous infringing laws like the patriot act. Sometimes I wonder what planet people like you live on...if the last 8 years can't wake you up then you're just beyond hope. Please don't vote.

[Makron5]

The questions were quite leading, if this was done to Mccain about HIS terrorist ties and his Keating 5 scandal, I might yell 'hell yeah' but I'd say it was biased. It's not reporting when you are loading questions and going question after question like a Republican talking point. Also her husband is a Republican Strategist. If this happened to your Mccain you'd shit bricks and I'd agree even if I supported it.

[pokerfaceface]

spin it joe spin it joe spin it joe that is how you get in the whith house

[jkhayman]

Bravo Joe! Put that stupid bitch in her place!

[jldtsu2400]

somwone said liberals can dish it out, but cant take it. it looks like biden took very well, and then threw it right back. i doubt if palin could handle this. she cant take it when people ask her simple questions like how our country works.

[omega464]

thats right don't mess Joe Biden or he will F***k you up!!!

[RoderedeLixa]

Sorry but the Karl Marx quote was just funny it would be like someone throwing Sarah Palin a question like "Benito Mussolini said 'War alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to make it.' and asking isn't this John McCain's view since he suggested we might be in Iraq for a 100 more years if that's what is takes to grind them underneath the heel of American justice?"

[jimistreets]

B. Hussein DID pay an ACORN subsidiary $800,000 for voter "outreach". If O-biden can't stand up to a girl and a plumber, Putin and Bin Laden must be licking their chops. These guys haven't been asked enough tough questions and when they finally get some they whine like babies!! These guy's natural instincts are to lie and dodge. It is a shame that these guys might become the leaders of the free world. If they do, America will live to regret it, probably for decades to come.

[Kettle17]

Face it your in denial.

You need a 12 step program.

Just keep saying Hussein enough and maybe you'll convince yourself your not a racist.

Facts are Facts and you just don't like them this time around because they don't mesh with your argument.

In 7 days I'm sorry to say we will vote for separation of church and state.

In such hard times, the voters actually pay attention, and they see through the right wing ideology that enriches the extremly wealthy and ignores the middle class.

[jimistreets]

Come up with a coherent reply and I might be able to answer you. I get the racist part though, and if you knew me you would know that I am nothing of the sort. A Hispanic, conservative, professional musician whose best friends are black and don't like Obama either. Abortion has killed more blacks and hispanic babies than all of the wars in history, and the act itself is a form of genocide. THESE are the facts. Time to put the bong away Kettle...

[Miko5000]

Actually, we would all be better off if you would but the bible down and think for yourself. Are you blaming Barack Obama for black and hispanic abortions? Rediculous. It's not genocide when the choice is made by the mother. Who will take care of these unwanted babies? I'll tell you who, the same welfare and government programs you despise so much. People should take personal responsibility for their actions and stop blaming god and government.

[Kettle17]

Let's grill Sarah Palin like this and see what happens.

OH I forgot we already did like the question from Couric "what newspapers and magazines do you regularly read"

And the follow up question" Can you name a specific Newspaper or Magazine"

Palin couldn't think of one.

The media is giving Palin 1st grade questions and she mucks them up.

The media is giving Biden Graduate school questions and he passes with flying colors.

Now I understand.

Obama/Biden November 4th.

[jimistreets]

Liberal whiners sure can dish it, but they can't take it!! You know, there are other sources for news and information than the pro-O-biden press. Here's an example of a tough question Katie Couric asked B. Hussein Obama, "When was the last time you cried?"! The press is so bent on getting these losers elected that they might as well just come out and say it. At least they'd be honest. Restitution for past injustice to blacks is their reason for this incredible charade. RIP America...

[KINGKAOS518]

Reporter PWNED.

[UbikValis2]

Now we know what would have happened if Sarah Palin had stuck to "journalism" instead of becoming mayor of Wasilla -- eventually she'd be a right wingnut bobblehead asking Faux News/Limbaugh talking point questions from a REAL VP candidate, and getting intellectually smacked down in the process.

[CactosS]

that reporter is retard

[ThrowEmToTheLions]

You tell em Joe!

Obama/Biden 08

[dears0000]

enough of the republican's small minded politics.

Obama/Biden 08

[SamFreedom]

HOWEVER, let's not exaggerate and call this a smackdown. That's the problem with pea-brained liberals. They drag serious politics down to the level of a schoolyard fight. This isn't a smackdown... Biden was firm but this isn't a smackdown.

[SamFreedom]

Ever since insane radical leftists usurped the Democrat party, I've felt forced right of center on most issues AND I'm leaning towards McCain but, for the love of god, this woman is just a douchebag. She's 10x worse than Katie Couric. To think this is journalism is ridiculous. She could be rephrasing the questions and being more engaging rather than hostile but I guess Biden deserves what Couric etc gave Palin... so, perhaps, it's just Karma.

[BlueWaveGirl]

I can't wait to hear Barbara West and the rest of GOP sore-loser idiots crying on November 5.

.

[Nettegen]

As a registered independent and fiscal conservative I would hope that Barbara West would make the most of her opportunity and not parrot Fox News talking points that have been asked and answered hundreds of times. I think I know LESS about Joe Biden after watching that.

Listen, if she wants to seriously take it to Biden, fine. Go nuts. Do it by coming at him with more than a quote by Karl Marx and no follow up. Two wars, a financial crisis, and she's asking about ACORN.

/facepalm

[0lord0kinbote0]

It's kind of nice seeing the right-wing america hater talking points offered up by someone other than the Fox nutters. Especially since she didn't cut him off like fox does to avoid the answers.

Biden pretty much made them look as intensely stupid as they are. I want to see more of this.

[Grendelmonster8u]

I'm glad she asked these questions - it makes the paranoid right-wingnuts look foolish. Taxes were much higher decades ago & the gap b/w rich & poor less. People could more easily buy small starter homes. The corporate class took over, they get all sorts of loopholes & tax shelters, so "spreading the wealth" is not a bad thing. Conservatives have been yelling about "socialism" for over 60 yrs. Reagan gave tax cuts & then Bush Sr had to raise them b/c of the huge deficit. How's the job market?

[ajaxbomb]

hey where is the rest of the interveiw.... i wanted to finish watching bidin make a fool of himself....the only smackdown i see is on the gullable shmuks that believe his rhedoric...

[VetOrDie]

ajaxbomb:Shut the fuck up ass master. Facts are facts Kool-aid drinker. But im guessing you liked Bush and what he has done to my beloved country.

[jsampras3]

Yeah, he sure sounded stupid. You betcha! Wink! Small town America. Real America. Joe Sixpack. Dontchaknow! Palin/McCain USA #1!!!

[Greg78X]

EPIC FAIL for Biden  Pissed and cant answer a Simple question without reading the talking points.

[resipsa1999]

This "journalist" is a right-wing cunt. I've never heard more biased, unfair questions.

[BlueWaveGirl]

Every BS stunt these GOP idiots try to pull is backfiring on them ten times over.

But they are slow learners.

.

.

[BlueWaveGirl]

I wonder if Barbara West will cry on the air on November 5 when all the Republicans lose?

.

Waaaaahhh! Waaaaahhhhh! boo hooo!

.

[sl8ted]

Biden handled that bitch

Lol you cant tell that bitch is auditioning for "FIXED NOISE" i mean FOX News

[eksdem]

See Biden's interview with Charlie Rose at

/watch?v=6sLLktGRaEo

The best 3 minutes are

minute 12 through minute 15

[eksdem]

Best YouTube version of the interview is at

/watch?v=yjX8wQPMADk

[highbury10]

Why is she just accusing the obama campaign? She didnt ask any question pertaining to Obama plans or policies

[Swarm50]

Now let's hear Sarah Palin being interviewed by a left-wing reporter.

[ljonsonio]

Funny..the Reich Wingers think all this Red Baiting is actually going to work for them. They'll find out in Nov how wrong they are.

[SpitfireOFatj]

"jonsonio: Funny..the Reich Wingers think all this Red Baiting is actually going to work for them. They'll find out in Nov how wrong they are."

What's even funnier is prior to 2000 the Republicans were always represented by the color Blue and the Democrats by Red.

They switched them for the 2000 election and yet you hear these braindead "Red Staters" going on about the pride they feel over their team's color and act like it's always been that way.

Orwell would love it.

[thevisualedge]

While all of you Biden lovers are masturbating to this video, let me remind you that in the Democratic primaries, Biden HIMSELF said that Obama was not ready to be President.

Done.

[ChuckInReno]

Who is this crazy lady? Is she pretending to be a news reporter?

[SpitfireOFatj]

That's Barbara West of ABC Orlando Channel 9.

Their call letters are WFTV but should be WTFTV.

[WinrarIsMe]

Marxist? Socialist? Make up your mind, lady. This woman is nothing but a talking points machine. I thought the question was a joke, too. Wubs me some Joe Biden.

Wow. Just...wow.

[Tinils]

no wonder your contry is spiraling down the toilet lol..typical...that news anchor is why retards like bush get elected..TWICE! FOR FUCK SAKES!

and the world laughs on!!

[FRodriguez719]

Fuck you, bitchass.

Bush won in 2004 by the slimmest margin of any wartime President in U.S. history, 51%-49%. He only accomplished that by fear-mongering amongst the low intelligence Republican base through their churches.

By 2006, finally enough American people had seen him, his administration, and the Repug party for what they really are, crooks and liars, which is why the Democrats took control of Congress (both the Senate and the senate).

Now on Nov. 4th, we take back control of the U.S.

[SpitfireOFatj]

BTW: The score in 2006 was 20-0 in favor of the Dems. ;-)

[OrchidDada]

..."While John McCain has attacked the liberal US community group Acorn for alleged voter registration fraud, the Republican party continues to employ operatives facing fraud accusations including one who faces criminal perjury charges. Mark Jacoby, a California Republican operative...... Nathan Sproul who has been investigated by Congress for allegedly destroying voter registration forms and intimidating voters got paid $175,000 by the McCain camp this year."

[killanacho]

Unbelievable. On;y in the US would one see such utter stupidity, ignorance and sensationalism from a "journalist." This is embarrassing, and frightening. Do large numbers of people out there actually think like her? God save us...

[anonymommy]

The blindness of the rightwingers.

Go Biden! Love ya, guy!

[Wisdomwalker]

All the questions had a rightwingnut bias but the way the first question was phrased was bull shit. The way she asked it is like the equivalent of asking some one "so when is the last time you beat your wife" Fuck this "reporter"

[quicksite]

damn -- why is the video cut-off at the end. i want to see the whole video of this lunatic fringe wingnut news-reader.

[kiersh]

its funny to me because this reporter so tried to blindside him and he wasn't phased

[Advocate1234]

Because he lied about Obama not giving $800,000 to ACORN, and he said Obama wasn't going to spread the wealth around.

[Empty0Set]

Isn't that what is so good about Capitalism, that it spreads the wealth?

[Advocate1234]

Capitalism creates wealth by individuals helping their neighbors and receiving payment for goods and services.

Spreading the wealth around by a government that has the monopoly of force is nothing other than theft.

[Empty0Set]

Hahaha! That is the point: Obama was talking about *cutting* taxes.

Blahahahaha.

[Advocate1234]

Well, when the bottom 40% of income earners pay zero income taxes, it is only possible to give them a welfare check from others.

That is spreading the wealth...aka Welfare.

Evidently, you don't know the difference between a subsidy, a welfare check and a tax cut.

[FRodriguez719]

Just waiting for Nov 4th '08 and Jan. 20th '09 for the Repug extermination.

...tick, tock, tick, tock...

[Advocate1234]

Explain this then.

watch?v=kEOFuinA2Sc

[Empty0Set]

>Well, when the bottom 40% of income earners >pay zero income

FALSE

[Advocate1234]

This is an objective fact.

Pick up the damn tax code. The deductions make the bottom 40% pay ZERO income taxes.

So again, you can't cut taxes for people who pay none.

[Empty0Set]

I bet you're one of the 12% of people who think they are in the top 1%.

[Advocate1234]

Okay, so now that you conceded both of your arguments, Barack Obama is going to spread the wealth from people who pay 80% of the Nations' taxes to those whose tax burden is zero.

That is Marxist, and certainly not a Tax Cut.

[Empty0Set]

You don't know what Marxism is. Marxism is not given a tax cut to the middle class instead of the upper class.

[Advocate1234]

Marxism is the forceful spreading of the wealth.

[Empty0Set]

true giving people tax cuts? You fail.

[Advocate1234]

It is not a tax cut you intellectual lightweight!

If you give money to people who pay no income taxes, that is a welfare check.

[Empty0Set]

Wait, are we still talking about the middle class, or corporations?

[Advocate1234]

Oh, you want to talk about Corporations now. After I demonstrated your abject ignorance on everything from the tax code, to payroll taxes, to Marxism.

What do you want to talk about with corporations, so I can make you feel dumber?

[Empty0Set]

Nonsense. Your definition of Marxism was complete baloney, as much as your Right-Wing talking point about the bottom 40% paying no income taxes.

The only thing making me feel dumber is everytime I have to listen someone bloviate about trickle down economics.

[Advocate1234]

Your denying that the bottom 40% pay zero income taxes disqualifies you from being taken seriously.

It is as "right wing" of an argument as me arguing that George Washington was our first President.

It is a fact. Pick up the damn tax code.

[SpitfireOFatj]

"Advocate1234: It is a fact. Pick up the damn tax code."

You know, you;'re really cute when you're angry.

[SpitfireOFatj]

"Advocate1234: Marxism is the forceful spreading of the wealth."

You really want to demonstrate what a good parrot you are for Rush and Hannity. Fine, be a good little Moran.

[Advocate1234]

You evidently haven't read the communist manifesto. It is free online. Try it sometime.

Facts are facts: Barack Obama wants to forcefully take other people's money who generate wealth and give it to people that did not make it or earn it and pay no income taxes.

[SpitfireOFatj]

"Advocate1234: Obama wants to forcefully take other people's money who generate wealth"

The rich don't generate wealth, they gather it. It's like saying the Stock Market makes money, it doesn't, it only trades it.

[Advocate1234]

Hey genius. People invest in the stock market with after tax dollars, meaning someone worked for it and generated that wealth by providing goods and services for their neighbor.

Then that money is invested in companies so people like you can have a job.

But, of course you sit back and cry, "But, those people didn't work for that money...waaahhhh."

I'm so sick of people in this country basing public policy on jealousy and economic ignorance.

[SpitfireOFatj]

You Right Wingers always come off as arrogant pricks who feel like you are in a position to "teach" the rest of us lowlife scum and you spew basic capitalism theory as if it's passed down from the sky spook. Give it up, you people are defending greedy bastards because you hope to become a greedy bastard yourself some day. What's really sad is it's people like you that are out there representing America's economic interests and then you wonder why nobody want's to deal with us.

[tedbaxt]

Calling progressive taxation "Marxist" is like calling ice cream "poison." Too much ice cream can have bad effects, but there are reasons for having some once in a while. Ronald Reagan supported progressive taxation, as has McCain in the past, and the alterations Obama is proposing are hardly revoultionary: they represent a return to the levels of the Clinton era.

[Advocate1234]

For the love of God!

Karl Marx called for a Progressive income tax in the communist Manifesto!!

Reagan didn't at all. He just couldn't politically abolish it, which is why he created two tax brackets at a compromise.

Obama's plan is higher than Clinton by at least 20%!

[SpitfireOFatj]

"Advocate1234: Pick up the damn tax code. The deductions make the bottom 40% pay ZERO income taxes."

That's a Right Wing Talking Point with no basis in reality. What they did was use Income Tax and not the Payroll Tax. Income Tax is the kind of tax a landlord pays on rental income he receives. Working Poor are still paying taxes even after taking out all deductions. Especially if they are not eligible for the "Head of Household" deduction because they rent a room. Then there's sales tax.

[Advocate1234]

Damn straight they used the income tax. That is why I said income taxes!!

Income tax is what you pay from any income from wages, or selling goods or services.

So the people at the Top 50% are paying sales tax and other taxes on top of the income tax as high as 35% which is then given to people who pay ZERO income taxes.

[SpitfireOFatj]

The fact is that the top corporations use every means at their disposal to pay NOTHING in taxes. It really BOTHERS you that the rich will pay more in taxes because you expect to be sipping cocktails on a yacht with members of the Dupont Family. Or maybe you just hate the poor because you think they're undeserving, lazy and stupid.

[Advocate1234]

Cut your Marxist crap. The people who hire the entire country's workforce and generate all the wealth, pay all the taxes and Obama wants to give it to people who don't.

[SpitfireOFatj]

I'll tell you what, you cut the crap with your hero worship of the rich long enough to google "L-curve" and then you can come back here and whine some more.

[Advocate1234]

How can Biden say with a straight face that Obama, Is not going to spread the wealth. He said it, and then said he didn't regret saying it.

Also, Obama gave $800,000 to ACORN.

[Wisdomwalker]

@Advocate1234: proof please that the Obama campaign gave $800,000 to acorn.

Biden OWNED this "reporter"!

[Advocate1234]

watch?v=69TCFNiETRw

It is a fact. Obama gave ACORN $800,000. So that was a lie by Biden.

Biden also said, that Obama wasn't going to spread the wealth around. Obama said it, and then said he didn't regret saying it.

[FRodriguez719]

Conservatism and the Repug party are DEAD.

Get it? Got it? Good.

[Advocate1234]

That was a well thought response.

[FRodriguez719]

I'm just not putting anymore effort into fighting with self/overall destructive, lost causes, like conservative idealogy and the now admonished Repug party.

[Advocate1234]

Well, with the intellectual depth of your response and your persuasive arguments, I cannot understand why I didn't see your point before.

[epiphany4z]

Joe rocked...he handled it wonderfully ...shot down each of the wingnuts talking points..could she be anymore obvious.

[SaharaE]

This reporter is a wingnut. wow. I am so glad people who think like her do not hold the fate of this election in their hands. I've frankly have had enough of them.

[lnadjsml]

Joe Biden is a hero.

[Merc1650]

ABC needs to reign in their affiliates.

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

This ignorant chick is straight up nuts with these far out, bullshit questions. Did she have Rush Limbaugh write them for her? I hope whatever tv station she is on was flooded with complaints.

[djangst]

Don't forget to post this as a video-response to the Biased one.

People should be allowed to comment and rate unscreened.

Barbara West? You got PWNED!
