Obama is the most laissez faire Democrat to run for president in several generations, if not ever. The "journalist" in question here is seriously ill informed, uneducated and silly. Hence my use of the term "dingbat." There's no reason why Joe Biden should have stooped to her level and spent a great amount of time on the question.
Ever huh?
Even as he tells you redistribution, social justice, reverting back to Clintonesk type tax brackets, additional crap like "living wage", "pro union", "fairness doctrine"......
Ever....pfff. How can he revert back to any other plans then you give him a "most title".....Is this the type of logic that goes on behind the scenes of a liberal?
About time someone ask that loudmouth Biden a real question. I am so tired of this "Messiah" loving media on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and all the others. We need more like Barbara West.
It's a legitimate question if one is coming from the hard right wing. Otherwise, it has not a thing to do with reality. That's why Biden laughed and didn't want to go any further. The question delegitimzed the questioner. It's like Barbara Walters asking Henry Kissinger, "Why haven't you given all your money to the poor yet?"
Actually, that is horribly false. Your example is a complex question. It asserts a premise as true when it's truth is questionable. The journalist asked a direct question with a reasonable line-up: X is a Marxist concept. Obama has asserted that concept. Why would we not conider Obama a Marxist?
Perfectly reasonable.
A suspect that Biden didn't want to go any further because he doesn't have the capacity to do so. He was so close to a third rail that he could see arching.

She was great! She slammed McCain too.
He can't answer the question because it'd expose the Marxist sentiments of the current power-holding wing of the Dems.
Not quite. With all the evidence mounting on Obama and his views (that he won't honestly disclose), there is damn good reason to ask this question. Many people would like an answer to that question. The liberal press would be bursting a blood vessel if McCain or Palin refused to answer a question. This is further proof about the one-sidedness of the left. "Delegitimized the questioner", you're kidding right?
Evidence? OMG! The right wingers haven't contributed one tiny bit of "Evidence". They've contributed a lot of out of this world rumors. Huge difference!
He didn't address the comparison between the Marxist principle stated and Obama's "spread the wealth" statment.
