I heard this morning that ol' Joe has an empty schedule this upcoming week - did Obama put him in the time out chair?

Liberals - a little bit of tyranny in each and every one of them.

Go to North Korea, that's what they do to people who don't follow the party line. It's a Potemkin Utopia, and i hear it's really nice there this time of year.

Well, why wouldn't he expect that? Look what they did to Joe the Plumber for asking the president (who was JUST a candidate at that point) a simple question!! They did audit him and the city council or something investigated his business and everything. So, yea, of course the libs expect bad things to happen to people who disagree with the president.. there's been precedents set for that kind of corruption!

Why would you want to hear they are out of business? Because they didn't want Joe "Foot in Mouth" Biden to stop by?

I think that sentiment alone speaks volumes about you and your ideals.

Like I stated previously in the thread, if he had just politely stated "no thank you" and moved on, then it'd be a non-issue. Instead the guy showed a complete lack of class parading around what he did to get attention. Then, of course, when he paraded his classless actions, people celebrated it.

It's merely a demonstration of how uncouth many people really are regarding politics. "Haha, you publicly snubbed the guy I don't like, lololololol".

Now, I don't want to see this guy out of business because of his actions directly to the VP. But his behaviour demonstrates qualities that are highly negative for a business owner. Making a spectacle of snubbing a potential customer is not exactly the smartest thing and can drive away customers. I wouldn't go to a business that publicly snubbed anyone (whether I agree with their political ideology or not) because if they're willing to be an outright jerk to a big name, there's a likelihood that the same attitude will be given to customers that they don't "like".

He just politely said he didnt' really want the entourage in his place of business and didn't want pictures of himself with Biden.

Where did it say he is a registered Republican?
That's how they think. She wants this poor guy to go bankrupt for dissing BiteMe,
but yet she says, "Conservatives are vicious and disgusting people."

There ya go.

This Vice president shows no respect for American people he is suppose to lead

Actually, the businessman did do something wrong.

Snubbing a customer simply due to political affiliation (and misinterpretation of an otherwise correct speech) is wrong.

There are certain lines that we should not cross as Americans out of respect for our leaders. For example, although I may not have approved of GWB/Cheney's policies and decisions I would never even dream of disrespecting them and their position as the leaders of our nation. EVER.

Republicans HATE President Obama and his administration (and the color of his skin) to the point where they have no shame in being overtly nasty and disrespectful. It really is a slippery slope. Let's say that Romeny is elected (its a longshot but for arguments sake just imagine)...would you be as flippant if a Pro-Obama supporter or a Democrat did the exact same type of dirty things that are being done to Obama/Biden?

I'm sorry but all sense of American honor and respect has gone out of the window, not because of what President Obama has done but because many can not stand the fact that a Black man leads this nation and they will do whatever it takes to undermine him. Its sad really. But the truth is that the night Obama was elected I knew that (some) White people would act this way because this is what they do when they feel that they are no longer the ones in power. They lose their minds and become unhinged with their disrespect.

I do not "hate" the President and I do not care what color he is.
My opposition to the President's policies has nothing to do with his race.
I would proudly vote for a black conservative for President.

I do not believe for a minute that you would not applaud anyone who disrespected Dick Cheney.
I recall all the "get well wishes" from the left when Mr. Cheney had his heart transplant.
W was disrespected by the left throughout his presidency.
(Since W was white and you opposed him, are you a racist?)
