Biden Angered By Tough Questions
FINALLY, A REPORTER WITH SOME ONIONS (WELL, FIGURATIVELY ANYWAY)
From Neal Boortz' Nuze
A TV reporter in Central Florida actually asked Joe Biden questions that we have waited so long for the MSM to ask ... and the Obama-Biden campaign isn't pleased. Last Thursday, Barbara West conducted a satellite interview with Joe Biden. You can watch the interview here. West asked Biden about Obama's "spread the wealth" comment. She quoted Karl Marx and asked Biden whether Obama's comments were Marxist. Biden's response: "Are you joking?" West also asked Biden about his comments that Obama would be tested by an international crisis early in his presidency. His response to that: "I don't know who is writing your questions."
It doesn't matter who is writing the questions, Joe. What matters is that these are the questions that many Americans have been wanted answers to ... but nobody has dared to ask.
In fact, Biden was so upset by the interview, that the Obama campaign canceled an interview with Jill Biden, Joe's wife, because it was unhappy with West's questions.
Here's what the Obama campaign had to say about the interview. Notice how the Obama campaign has reacted to radio and TV stations that run unflattering ads or ask tough questions – ban them, ask the Justice Department to get involved, get a hold of their advertisers. This is just the beginning, folks.
"There's nothing wrong with tough questions, but reporters have the very important job of sharing the truth with the public -- not misleading the American people with false information. Senator Biden handled the interview well; however, the anchor was completely unprofessional. Senator Biden's wife is not running for elected office, and there are many other stations in the Orlando television market that would gladly conduct a respectful and factual interview with her."
"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."
So by asking these questions, West is deemed "unprofessional." How about those reporters who reported on Sarah Palin's children, or her days as a beauty queen? Those reports are not unprofessional, but when you ask a Vice Presidential candidate about tax policy ... THAT is unprofessional
"There's nothing wrong with tough questions"? Liberals don't like tough questions. It might make people think about the answers they hear. While most of us were educated in public schools, many of us have furthered our educations by reading and investigating on our own. We're not stupid. Once we have an understanding, we may have questions to ask of our leadership. We expect our leadership not only to have the answers, but to actually answer the question. But they don't want to be questioned, much less get "tough" questions.
"Reporters have the very important job of sharing the truth..." Share the truth? Liberal media has yet to share the truth. They've buried stories that only a few others have dared to bring out. Do you think the Liberal Media will talk about the radio interview Obama gave in 2001 about "redistributing the wealth"?
I've been listening today to the Democrats try to spin the blacklisting of this station and the radio tape of Obama lamenting that the Courts have not been usable to redistribute the wealth. Oh, but you can't use what he said seven years ago because of what he is all about today. I don't see a difference. Can anyone explain to me what is different about his words on radio in 2001 and what "he's all about today"?
I wouldn't doubt that under a Democratic regime, all blogs will be scrutinized by the government. Those who are critical of Obama or the programs our Democratic leaders decide we are "entitled" to either give or take, will be "re-educated" in some way. We may be seeing the beginning of a Big Brother Government. You think we already have one? You ain't seen nothin' yet. Anyone who questions the government will be investigated. Some will be brave and speak out anyway. Many will shut down or change their topics to something safe....like gardening.
It may be a good thing I bought that book on Square Foot Gardening.
Update: Not only is Barbara West blacklisted by the Obama campaign, but no one at Orlando's WFTV Eyewitness News will be interviewing anyone from the campaign. Will the Liberal Media follow this story? Don't hold your breath waiting.

Get used to it people, if the Democrats take both the Congress and the White House, whenever someone asks a tough question, or one that isn't liked by the Party, someone will pay. Look what happened to Joe the Plumber. Look what the Obama campaign has to say above.
Biden has said that Obama never said anything about "spreading the wealth". I wonder if anyone has shown him the video where the words are coming out of Obama's mouth? I have to admit that I haven't heard Biden saying that lately, so maybe he's found out the truth.
