Thoughts? Not that this will stick or anything. The Obama campaign has been allowed so many passes on it's slip ups.

Why is it a "slip up"?

I saw that interview. That woman who was interviewing Biden was an absolute moron.

I love how idiotic questions gets turned into "tough interview". Nice spin.
Oh, hey wow! Interviewers who behave in an unprofessional manner by asking biased, loaded and downright stupid questions with barely concealed hostility lose their interviewing privileges. Who'da thunk it?

In fairness, it's quite hard to answer stupidly retarded questions.
I think they realized that the lady is a hack, and decided that it wasn't a productive use of their time to have a second interview.
Just as Planned.

All those tough questions were asking about statements made by Biden and Obama. Obama has embraced a communist/socialist attitude of spreading the wealth around. Why does he deny the similarity between him Karl Marx? That's like an acknowledgement that Karl Marx's philosophy was wrong, and in turn, his is wrong. But like I said, it's not gonna much matter. People are ready to embrace socialism. I just hope they are ready for the consequences.

It wasn't a tough question. It was moronic. Comparing Obama to Marx is only smart to total rightwingnuts. There ARE tough question out there; just seems like it didn't make it into this interview.

Here's a hint, Socrates. Those weren't "tough" questions, they were "loaded" questions. The intent of those questions was to try to make Obama/Biden look as bad as possible and to try to trick Biden into saying something that could be used against the Obama/Biden ticket.
It's not only reasonable, but expected for someone to refuse to do interviews with a reporter who behaves that way. Sounds to me like the karma system is working exactly as intended.

For the love of the oppressed masses, WILL YOU RIGHT-WING TWATS PLEASE LEARN WHAT THE **** KARL MARX WAS ABOUT.
Seriously, it's embarassing. It makes you look retarded, which you probably are, but why would you want to display it in such a blatant way?
Politically, there are zero similarities between Obama and Karl Marx. None. Zip. Nada. They are so far removed from each other it's like saying McCain is similar to Charlemagne.
Not that I expect you to know who Charlemagne is either, but he was a 9th Century King, so there, you get the idea.

Until then, government income came from tariffs. The government didn't start redistributing wealth until the New Deal brought on by FDR where taxes were used as a mandatory charity fund/retirement fund/health insurance fund paid by the rich and provided to the poor. Cheeto-fingers? seriously, cheeto-fingers?

Based on the Republican tax dollars that actually find their way back toward helping out your average citizen, Obama must look positively Marxist from their point of view... That's the only semi-rational explanation I can come up with, but then again, no one accused the McCain campaign of being rational at any point.

This is the kind of entry that makes me sad. And makes me see how we have failed our youth through a substandard education system.

I have no idea what you're talking about! Our system has been overhauled into the leanest and finest education programs culled from Texas. How, how could you possibly think it's subpar?
You crazy woman.
First, the quote is originally from Lenin, not Marx. Get your socialists straight here.
Second, it's a paraphrase of a verse in the Bible. King James Version to boot. From Acts someplace, if I remember correctly.

Why does the country deny the similarities between our state of being and Karl Marx?
Now I'll be the first to admit that I didn't study Marxism that much in college and high school was a lonnng time ago but if I recall correctly (backed up by some interneting) we've already hit 4 out of 6 stages in Marxism.
Primitive Communism: Check
Slave Society: Double Check
Feudalism: Yup that too
Capitalism: You betcha!
Socialism: Evil, evil dirty word that's the logical next step.
Communism: Worked for Russia for a while!
Anyone other that Gbaji (or some dumb *** sub'd'er care to explain the problem?

Posted: Oct 27 2008 at 9:12 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I put The Bible about half a notch worse than the works of Karl Marx.
McCain wants to use tax-payer dollars to buy up mortgages from the banks at their face value despite the mortgages being worth only a fraction of that. So my taxes will be used to give a bank $250,000 for a $165,000 home. A plan that's been met with considerable skepticism (and some ridicule) from both sides of the spectrum as simply poorly thought out.
At least if Obama "redistributes wealth", he plans to redistribute it in my direction.

So, Taxes are redistribution of wealth, and Tariffs aren't?

So, <random snarky comment>, then?

Posted: Oct 27 2008 at 9:47 AM, Rating: Unrated, (Expand Post) Well, even taxes aren't necessarily wealth redistribution. Initially Tariffs went to pay government officials. Even when the income tax was implemented, it was used to pay for the Civil War, not to give to the poor. Taxes were never redistrubuted until FDR introduced the New Deal creating the welfare state. You could argue the tariffs and such were redistributing wealth to politicians, but I think it was looked at more as their salary.
