As soon as the chief plagiarist opens his mouth the lies come projectile vomiting out. Check out this video with CHANNEL 9 WFTV, with Barbara West, who BTW is magnificent.Now that's a reporter! Refreshing to see media do their job. Big thanks to Mark for dropping it in the comment section.
Watch the video here: updated: HERE IT IS AT YOU TUBE
West hits the ground running and kicks off by asking Biden, aren't you embarrassed by the blatant attempts to register phony voters by ACORN an organization that Barack Obama has been tied to.
BIDEN BOLD FACED LIE: First lie, we have not paid ACORN one single penny. I am not embarrassed by our ties to ACORN. There is no relatioonship. We have not paid one single penny to register one single voter.
When pressed on Obama's relationship with ACORN Biden said, how has he been a benefactor ACORN? He was an organizer for ACORN.
BIDEN BOLD FACED LIE: C'MON let's get real here!" (yes he actually said that )
FACT: Obama's campaign paid ACORN $800,000 (more here)
Watch him try to tie McCain to ACORN, because he went to a dinner .......amazing.
West goes onto quiz the clownish Biden about recent polls that showed that 84% of Americans prefer government focus to improving economic conditions to help job creation not resdistribute the wealth.
West: Isnt Obama's remark about redistributing the wealth a "crushing political blunder".
BIDEN BOLD FACED LIE: "Absolutely not! The only person thas spread the wealth the around has been George Bush and John McCain's tax policy" lol, no no he actually said this with an attempted botoxed frown
Kill the tax cut!
West: "From each according to his abilties to each according to his need, that's Karl Marx. How is Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?" [I love this woman! - Atlas]
BOLD FACED LIAR BIDEN: "Are your joking? Is This A Joke?????" Is that a real question?"
West: That's a real question.
BIDEN BOLD FACED LIE: HE IS NOT SPREADING THE WEALTH. We are going to give the middle class the tax breaks they used to have. [huh? Like what? Under Clinton? Like the 28% capital gains tax?]
West: Questions Biden about these remarks:
"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama ...
"Remember I said it standing here. if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. And he's gonna have to make some really tough -- I don't know what the decision's gonna be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it's gonna happen,"
West went on to say what worried many people was Biden's caveat asking them to stand with Obama because it won't be apparent initially that he's right. Are you forewarning Americans THAT nothing will be done and America'days as the world's leading pwoer is over?
BIDEN BOLD FACED LIE: "NO, I am not at all. I don't know who is writing your questions?" And then goes on to say America's position is weakened in the world. We are stretched thin! We are in economic free fall! McCain was wrong on Iraq! [uh, the surge]
[I don't know about you -- but I don't believe that for one second. America is the greatest. Period. Weakened my ass. Weakened only by our internal enemies, traitors, moochers, looters, commies, leftards, America haters, socialists, et al - Atlas]
West then gets back to the spreading the wealth question, what does he think of the concern that Obama would want to turn this country into a socialist nation, much like Sweden?
BIDEN BOLD FACED FACE LIE: I don't know anyone that thinks that except the extreme right wing of the Republican party. [lol - Atlas]
You must sent this video around. It's priceless.
Only in the an upside down, where good is evil and evil is good world would Biden be considered a good choice and Palin a less than stellar choice.
And Bless Barbara West. She ought to be a network anchor. FOX news, call your office (me thinks FOX won't hire a woman over the age of 30).
UPDATE: The giant pussy party ..... and these guys are going to take on Ahmad Nijad? lol (hat tip Jim?
Why did Barack Obama's campaign cancel a WFTV-Channel 9 interview with Jill Biden, wife of Sen. Joe Biden? The campaign cited "an unprofessional interview" WFTV's Barbara West did Thursday with Joe Biden. 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." Marsh said West's insistence that Obama was an organizer for ACORN was "100 percent false." "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," Marsh wrote. West said, "I think I asked him some pointed questions. . . . I don't think I was rude or inconsiderate to him." (here)










It's kind of jarring to see a Democrat asked tough questions. I think Senator Hairplugs was expecting a bunch of softballs. Imagine if Obama had been grilled, just once, like this during the primaries, instead of "Do you have any doubts?(pant, pant)"

Incredible!!! This woman is awesome. Hats off to Barbara West! Every one of her questions was better than the one before, and when she got to the Marx one I thought I was dreaming.
Make no mistake, American brothers and sisters -
IT.IS.ON.

How many G7 nations have a populace of over 40% third world blood????????? (80% within a generation)
They have now clearly reached critical mass. (Check the bubbling cauldron.)
Love the site, but you're pissing into the wind.
Expatriate!!! The water's fine.

This journalist is going to need protection. A fund should be started to help her out.
Two more questions she should have asked:
"Senator Biden, do you ever have any sleepless nights thinking about the 2 million Cambodians murdered by their own progressive-socialist-utopian government -that you and your fellow travelers helped to establish?
Will you and your fellow US socialists in the democrat party apologize to the survivors of Cambodian fratricide and general misery of Southeast Asia?"

Good points TINBH and I don't understand why no one ever asks these communists about Obama's participation in the bombing campaign associated with divestment in South Africa or how many times he had gay sex with that liberal elitist.

I agree that it is refreshing to see a mainstream journalist who is not participating in the Obama slobberfest, but I think that B. West did a really lousy job.
When Bidden answered her accusation about ACORN with all those bald faced lies about their non-involvement, she never followed up. Instead she goes straight to the socialism accusation with a totally gratuitous quote from Marx. Joe Bidden made the most of this by asking her incredulously if she was "kidding." This probably diminished her credibility with the independents and made Bidden more attractive among those who are unaware of how much he was lying.
Seasoned politicians are prepared to respond to a wide variety of pointed questions. It is only the follow-up questions that are capable of tripping them up.
If West loses her job over this, I will not shed a tear. We need smarter journalists who can really put this dirtbags on the spot. Not hacks who cannot go beyond reading the questions they prepared ahead of time.

1. ""Absolutely not! The only person thas spread the wealth the around has been George Bush and John McCain's tax policy" - This is actually a lie. Bush and McCain's tax cuts concentrate the wealth on the wealthy. They don't spread the wealth around. The rich get more and the rest get to eat cake. For the results of these types of policies, see France 1793.
2. "And then goes on to say America's position is weakened in the world. We are stretched thin! We are in economic free fall! McCain was wrong on Iraq! [uh, the surge]" - It is entirely possible for us to still be the best but at the same time not as strong as we once were. The Obama campaign's drumbeat about McCain being wrong on Iraq is regarding the initial decision to go in. I'm not giving an opinion on this, just pointing out logical inconsistencies and the disregarding of certain facts.
3. "West then gets back to the spreading the wealth question, what does he think of the concern that Obama would want to turn this country into a socialist nation, much like Sweden?" - Oh NO! Not SWEDEN! Check out the democracy ratings and note where Sweden is. Now, I'm not saying Sweden's policies would work here, but come on... there are faaaar worse situations to be in than Sweden.

Didja see the angry look on Biden's face at the end of the interview, as if he's thinking: 'the stones of this woman, actually calling us out on what we've done and said'?
After months of de-facto shilling for the Obama camp by almost everyone in broadcast media, this woman has the unmitigated GALL to ask these questions?
Did anyone ever think we would see the day when fear of losing one's job, in the interest of objectivity and rationality, would actually be a possibility?
Does anyone doubt that the recent FLOOD of quislings scampering to the Obama camp in the last week is an indication of the FEAR of retribution in the future?

I'm new here & probably won't be back. Too much fundamentalist dogma here (not meant in the religious sense). I'm just a simple guy here in Missouri and I like open-minded discussions without screaming.
I am surprised at the reactions. These were not "calling us out" or "asking tough questions". This was not anything remotely resembling journalism. If Keith Olbermann had gone down a similar path with Palin he'd be fired (not a bad thing, frankly). I'm with Biden in asking if this was a joke.
ACORN is a red herring. They register voters, and their paid staff have an incentive to make up names. That's a bad thing. Their management is the source of the news that some of the names are false. That's a far cry from voter fraud. There is no evidence that anyone is trying to fraudulently cast a ballot via ACORN.
The outgoing administration is simultaneously the most fascist and most socialist in history. I'm willing to give Obama a chance. I don't think Adelman, Brooks, Fried, Parker, Will, etc. are quislings. I think they recognize that Obama is the best of the two for the current times. I happen to agree. I'm an economic conservative & social liberal. I don't like all of Obama's policies. I jumped across because he has shown a willingness, indeed a desire, to listen to contrary opinions and try to get to the root of the issues, unlike the mindless "you're with us or against us" closed-minded approach that's been dominating the Republican party recently.
I am proud of my country. Rereading the Federalist Papers brings tears of pride to my eyes that our founders were willing to provide us with a means of governance based on the rule of law with checks and balances. I'm anguished at the absurd direction Bush has gone and truly believe we should unite behind Obama. If we don't like his policies, speak out. But he's going to be our next president and he's going to help us restore pride in America and boost our international standing.

Now what I would like to see is someone respond to the Obama campaign's response with the following questions
1. So are you saying being an organizer is a bad thing?
2. So are you saying being an organizer for ACORN is a bad thing?
3. So you're saying being compared to Karl Marx is a bad thing?
4. So you're saying being a communist is a bad thing?
...and then use that against him for the rest of his carreer... and attacking his previous associations of any degree...
