So this is how the Hussein campaign reacts when the media won't felate it

WFTV-Channel 9's Barbara West conducted a satellite interview with Sen. Joe Biden on Thursday. A friend says it's some of the best entertainment he's seen recently. What do you think?
West wondered about Sen. Barack Obama's comment, to Joe the Plumber, about spreading the wealth. She quoted Karl Marx and asked how Obama isn't being a Marxist with the "spreading the wealth" comment.
"Are you joking?" said Biden, who is Obama's running mate. "No," West said.
West later asked Biden about his comments that Obama could be tested early on as president. She wondered if the Delaware senator was saying America's days as the world's leading power were over.
"I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden shot back.
Biden so disliked West's line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate's wife.

"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.
McGinnis said the Biden cancellation was "a result of her husband's experience yesterday during the satellite interview with Barbara West."
Here's a link to the interview: http://www.wftv.com/video/17790025/index.html.
WFTV news director Bob Jordan said, "When you get a shot to ask these candidates, you want to make the most of it. They usually give you five minutes."
Jordan said political campaigns in general pick and choose the stations they like. And stations often pose softball questions during the satellite interviews.
"Mr. Biden didn't like the questions," Jordan said. "We choose not to ask softball questions."
Jordan added, "I'm crying foul on this one."

If this story catches on, expect Barbara West to get the Joe the Plumber treatment and have her biography, personal life, and tax history vetted.

How dare we the people question the almighty messiah and his blowhard sidekick. The nerve of us to call a spade a spade.

The only way a socialist/marxist ever rise to power anywhere in the world is when they successfully suppress opposition. Obama and his cohorts are succeeding with flying colors

<!-- /Inline toolbox -->Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden gave it to Florida WFTV anchor Barbara West Thursday when she asked him a slew of questions straight out of John McCain's talking points.
West began the interview by asking whether Biden was "embarrassed" by Barack Obama's association with ACORN. Biden refuted the false association between ACORN and Obama and rightly mentioned John McCain's speech during a rally sponsored by ACORN in 2006. Watch the interview below:
<CENTER><EMBED src=http://www.youtube.com/v/jxT0ELP7az0&hl=en&fs=1 width=425 height=344 type=application/x-shockwave-flash allowfullscreen="true"></EMBED></CENTER>If you don't think West was laying a trap for Biden with rhetorical questions that are central to John McCain and Sarah Palin's speeches, then watch her treatment of John McCain in an interview on October 14th.
Biden asked her if his interview was a "joke" and wondered aloud who was writing her questions. Conservative writers, like Michelle Malkin, are trying to use Biden's negative reaction to biased questions as proof that he's even more erratic than John McCain. It's a huge stretch. Not only has John McCain increasingly accused the entire media establishment of being in the tank for Obama after years of calling the press his "base," but on Thursday he showed clear erratic behavior by snapping at a reporter over an immigration question:

At one point in the interview, McCain grew frustrated with a Tampa television reporter during her questions on immigration issues. McCain twice said illegal immigrants who have committed crimes would be rounded up. Katie Coronado of WFLA-TV asked if that meant using raids to round up immigrants.

"What did I just say that had any connotation of raids?" McCain said, raising his voice with impatience. "Let me try one more time."
He again explained the idea of forcing illegal immigrants out of the country by issuing ID cards and fining employers who hire illegals. He then softened his tone.
"I apologize," he said to Coronado. "I understand how important an issue it is. I didn't mean to be flip."
​

The Obama campaign responded to Biden's treatment by canceling a subsequent WFTV interview with his wife, Jill. Obama's Florida spokeswoman, Adrianne Marsh, called Biden's interviewer, Barbara West, "both combative and woefully uninformed about simple facts."
WFTV news director Bob Jordan refuted the bias by saying, "Mr. Biden didn't like the questions," Jordan said. "We choose not to ask softball questions."
Yes, tough questions are great Mr. Jordan, but not if some of them are 100% false or aim to equate the Democratic candidate for president with Karl Marx. Even John McCain wasn't subject to that kind of questioning when he flipped on Ms. Coronado on Thursday.

You gotta admire the balls on these mfers!!!

Hey biatch... where the fvck is Sarah Palin?
How many policy questions has she even bothered to answer since she was selected as VP candidate?

Can you even compare the number on interviews Biden has done compared to her?

ARe you people serious? this is the shit you are hanging on to for the election


:nohead:


yeah... cry about Biden cancelling the interview!:lolBIG: that will swing the votes in FL..


BTW.. the video posted shows biden schooling a dumb reporter.ope:

 

[RobFunk]

"Are you joking?" said Biden

Hey Funk,

Notice all the emoticons in every one of Piccolo's posts.

He must be a Repub right?

hno:

 

[Coldweather]

Obama and Joe want to end talk show media, except for the liberal ones cause, they don't like them to much and either do the two Revenants Al and Jessie. Our Countries' constitution is being attacked and not many care no more except for the hard working Republicans patriots, the gooder people in the world. This is what I think about this here matter.

:cripwalk::cripwalk::cripwalk::toast:

 

[D2bets]

Biden handled the dumb questions well.

 

[DeathEatsaCracker]

I thought the line of questioning was douchey.

However, I admit that I would take great pleasure seeing Palin getting grilled like that. I doubt she would deflect hostile questions as easily as Biden did.

The questions were retarded, but like a pro, Biden answered them all without a problem. If Palin were asked these types of questions she would have peed her pants.

 

[fletchisrhsm]

Palin isnt bright and she would get crushed on questions like these, no question about it.

Biden says Obama is ready and more fit to be POTUS then McCain but just 8 months ago Biden was the most vocal against Barrak and his being ready to be POTUS, in fact that was his calling card in debates.

Media outlets, local stations all know their audience and if they are being view by more repubs then dems then you can bet news and views will be slanted to fit their audience, no matter it right or left.

John McCain's failure to take hold on this country is clearly because of Bush. Regardless of what he is saying, the Republicans wont be able to win because of this alone.

Also, isnt their any policy on ghosts? I figured that wouldnt be allowed? Seems like Halloween is bringing them out in droves.

Fletch, since there's only about two dozen of us who actually post in the PoliticoPub, sometimes multiple ghosts are needed to give a solitary POV the appearance of added weight.

Only employed by those who somehow get confused and think of this as some kind of high level serious forum.

This must be the first election you have followed. Do you know why Biden made those comments? because he was running against him in the primaries. People say alot of negative things during primaries and once the primaries are over they regroup and support each other.

Did you see the republican debates? Romney and giuliani and huckabe all killed mccain on various issues like the economy. But in the end they all support him and now say that he is going to be great on the economy.

People like Limbaugh and Hannity supported just about everyone BUT mccain, but once mccain won they are all jerking off to him and his "mavericky" ways.

CBS 3 in Philly also in trouble.....

[Willie99]

compare and contrast their reaction to Palin's interviews and responses to their reaction to Biden's interview.

Not even worthy of discussion.

:lol:

 

[3peet]

Considering the reporter was well respected, she really made herself look like a fool sinking to the Faux Noise level.

Joe the Plumber? Looks more like she'll get tarred and feathered in the coming days. Whats great is how Biden handled it like the pro he is and belittled her embarrassing attempt to make a name for herself.

Go get em Joe!
