Vice President Joe Biden calls Tea Party members 'terrorists' after tense debt ceiling negotiations

After weeks of wrangling with the Republicans over the debt ceiling, Vice President Joe Biden accused members of the Tea Party of having "acted like terrorists," Politico.com reported.

The comments came in a closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting after Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) reportedly said that "We have negotiated with terrorists. This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money."

The bold is rather disturbing on 2 fronts.

1. "We have negotiated with terrorists" - Considering our understanding of terrorists in this generation, there is not much left do determine from this remark.

2. "This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money" - Its interesting that "terrorists" is used again. This concretes his first remarks. To the real point. We are 14+ tril in the hole and even if this bill becomes law that # will go up instead of down. So really these "terrorists" have slowed you down not made it impossible.

Makes you wonder if Mr. Doyle's personal account is in this bad a shape.

So who called them the terrorist, the rep. or Biden. It sounds like the Rep. in the quote.

Biden made a similar comment later, but used the phrase "acting like". IIRC

According to the article, the quotes where from Rep. Boyle.

It's so funny that the media is trying to paint today as the most politically hot climate ever. Not even close. The hilarious things Jefferson and Adams said about each other:

I heard this but the reporting is so unclear to me on what happened.

Whoever said it, I just want to roll my eyes. Its just politics and maneuvering.

What happened to all the outcries for "civility" from this administration?

They're too busy working out all the transparency.

It is interesting that representatives that are standing on the principle that got them elected and simply voting on that principle have been called terrorists, Wahabi, Hezbollah, hostage takers, strappers of bombs to themselves, to the economy and to the Capitol.

Liberals and liberal commentators have never been so passionate in calling real terrorists - terrorists!

These last few months, much of the country has watched in horror as the Tea Party Republicans have waged jihad on the American people. Their intransigent demands for deep spending cuts, coupled with their almost gleeful willingness to destroy one of America’s most invaluable assets, its full faith and credit, were incredibly irresponsible. But they didn’t care. Their goal, they believed, was worth blowing up the country for, if that’s what it took.

Had this been a comment from Cantor, Bachman, or Palin you'd have started 3 threads already calling it the lowest point in American political history.

Reads like people (mostly TPers which makes the irony incredibly thick) freaking out about Obama wanting to "fundamentally change the country" for the past two years. Or is there a difference I'm missing?

Tea Party members went on Fox News to complain that it only called for $2.4 trillion in cuts, instead of $4 trillion. It was head-spinning.

he does know where the $4bil figure came from right?

"taking country back" = racist
"fundamentally transform country" = benevolence, goodness and light

Palin had a very good reply to this inanity.

I'd rather the debate over TP policy points of view not get muddled with name calling. Giving the far right an excuse to pretend to be the downtrodden just distracts from what is really going on.
