Biden: Tea partiers like 'terrorists'
Source: Politico

Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit.

Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.

“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”

Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists,” according to several sources in the room.

1. Well then let's compromise with them like we do with Al Queda
ZERO TOLERANCE for terrorists -- imported, domestic, or otherwise.

13. Do we get nifty little uniforms
when we get together in our death squads to go huntin. Or do we just randomly commit acts of violence against anyone who doesn't agree with us. Fuck it, lets suspend the democratic system and kill anyone we don't like. :fistbump:




:sarcasm:

30. I don't think that is what anyone wants to happen
Unless it is mentally un-hinged violence prone people. Kinda like some people posting in this thread. People making statements like that belong at the " Freak Republic ". I am more of a pacifist troll

Teabaggers ARE terrorists.

14. Thank you. Actions have consequences, and their actions are those
of terrorists.

Let's see - views in the minority - check.
Use of intimidation and threats to persuade - check.
Actual obstruction of normal routines - check.
Holding unrelated people hostage - check.

They ARE terrorists, so why aren't they in Gitmo?

6. And if they negotiate with those terrorists, they will only be putting the welcome mat out for
further terrorizing.

7. Very astute observation! History has always taught us
that lesson, be it Hitler, jihaadists, kidnappers, hostage-takers or idiot Teabaggers.

11. Yep. Tealiban they r.
And their agenda is pretty clear: throw the US and the rest of the world into a depression like no one has seen since 1930. Why is this not clear enough to everybody looking: the tealiban enable the drowning of the US since 2000, just like the taliban managed to drown the USSR in 1989-90.

Now, why no National Security reasons are given to invoke the Constitution's 14th AND accusing the tealiban of enabling the taliban agenda on national teevee yet? Because it might shut them the ef up?

Although, I'm glad Vice-President Biden is beginning to say it like it is.

ENOUGH

22. It's called politics
The Democratic Party's leaders need to start playing hardball and defend what they say they stand for.

29. I've been calling them Teahadists over the past couple of years for a reason.
Edited on Tue Aug-02-11 03:13 AM by Turborama
Pretty much the same one mentioned in the OP.

Plus the fact they are fundamentalists who misuse the teachings of their prophet for personal gain, much like their namesakes.
