Wow, Joe the senator is not too happy! Since WFTV can't show it we need to pass it on!

Update,
Here, here Barbara West at WFTV.
The truth hurts.

West later asked Biden about his comments that Obama could be tested early on as president. She wondered if the Delaware senator was saying America's days as the world's leading power were over.
"I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden shot back.
Biden so disliked West's line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate's wife.
"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," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.
McGinnis said the Biden cancellation was "a result of her husband's experience yesterday during the satellite interview with Barbara West."
Here's a link to the interview: http://www.wftv.com/video/17790025/index.html.
WFTV news director Bob Jordan said, "When you get a shot to ask these candidates, you want to make the most of it. They usually give you five minutes."
Jordan said political campaigns in general pick and choose the stations they like. And stations often pose softball questions during the satellite interviews.
"Mr. Biden didn't like the questions," Jordan said. "We choose not to ask softball questions."
Jordan added, "I'm crying foul on this one."

WFTV-Channel 9's Barbara West conducted a satellite interview with Sen. Joe Biden on Thursday. A friend says it's some of the best entertainment he's seen recently. What do you think?
West wondered about Sen. Barack Obama's comment, to Joe the Plumber, about spreading the wealth. She quoted Karl Marx and asked how Obama isn't being a Marxist with the "spreading the wealth" comment.
"Are you joking?" said Biden, who is Obama's running mate. "No," West said." Orlando Sentinel - Obama campaign cuts off WFTV after interview with Joe Biden by Hal Boedeker

She interviewed McCain today.
Funny, she didn't say to McCain, "You may recognize this famous quote, 'Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power' That's from Benito Mussolini . How are you not being a Fascist when you constantly support corporate interests over actual citizens and endorse citizen funded bail-outs by the State?"
She didn't say to McCain, "You may recognize this famous quote, 'Fascism..believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.' That's from Benito Mussolini. How are you not being a Fascist when you say we will be at war for another hundred years?"
She didn't say to McCain, "You may recognize this famous quote, 'All propaganda must be so popular and on such an intellectual level, that even the most stupid of those toward whom it is directed will understand it.' That's from Adolf Hitler. How are you not being a Fascist when you incessantly brings up "Joe the Plumber."
She didn't say to McCain, "You may recognize this famous quote, 'Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death.' That's from Adolf Hitler. How is Sarah Palin not being a Fascist when she says that "Obama is palling around with terrorists."
She didn't say to McCain, "You may recognize this famous quote, 'The efficiency of the truly national leader consists primarily in preventing the division of the attention of a people, and always in concentrating it on a single enemy.' That's from Adolf Hitler. How are you not being a Fascist when you are always concentrating on Al Qaeda as a single enemy.
She didn't say to McCain, "You may recognize this famous quote, 'State intervention in economic production arises only when private initiative is lacking or insufficient, or when the political interests of the State are involved. This intervention may take the form of control, assistance or direct management..' That's from Benito Mussolini. How are you not being a Fascist when you endorse the bail-out of certain politically connected banks by the State?
WellIi say THIS to Barbara West. You may recognize THIS famous quote, "Not every item of news should be published. Rather must those who control news policies endeavor to make every item of news serve a certain purpose." That's from Joseph Goebbels. How are you not being a fascist when you ask pointed questions like that!
libby mcliberal,
thank you for the kind words. You must be paid to eradicate any descent on the West interview. Hope you get paid big bucks. I only work part time.
I appreciate your opinion. We agree to disagree.
Obviously to not be fascist is to throw out Hitler and Mussolini. They must be your hero's. Good for you. I guess your hero's are not mine. Can you tell me if you also have a picture of Karl Marx above your bed?
I'm just reporting what is in the news.
I'm assuming if she did ask all your questions to McCain he would of answered them with out hesitating. He would probably say I believe in the people of this country and will not spread the wealth like Joe and "the one" are saying.
Please have a zin or morrell and enjoy the weekend.
Take care, a wassaccally conservitive.

Paul,
Did you actually mean descent, or dissent?
You might want to look up ad hominem arguments, and read what mcliveral actually said; you might learn something.
Hey hal, thank you for your comment.
I'll say Libby Mcliberal made the comment and I will choose # 6, please read the following.
From Dictionary.com
de⋅scent

You need to get a life, It's my blog, I don't get paid for it, I do the blog for my enjoyment and if you have to get picky about a word and not even comment on this country going down the road to socialism makes you a very shallow person. Hope your day job is better then your night life. Comrade, obviously you didn't learn diddly squat. Get a life or move to Russia!
Hey, but I'm a Christian and I will just say thank you again and have a GREAT week.
