Joe Biden wants the scary, scary Human Events reporter to go away.


First, let’s refresh people’s memory of what happened.

For those without video: basically, what happened was that after Joe Biden Opened His Mouth and announced that voting against the President’s job bill would result in more rapes in Flint, Michigan, Jason Mattera of Human Events confronted the Vice President on Biden’s statement. If you watch the video, you’ll see that Mattera ‘ambushed’ VP Biden by cruelly saying the magic word ‘picture:’ this of course caused Biden to go into full Pavlovian politician mode… thus freezing him for just long enough for Mattera to ask Biden on the record whether that language was appropriate for a sitting Vice President. Biden then attempted to push out a cloud of link by standing by his statement that rapes were up three times in Flint – which, by the way, Factcheck.org calls a ‘whopper;’ i.e., a lie – and then made a hasty retreat.

So. Point to Human Events. But now it gets better.

You see, now there has to be an investigation.

Joe Biden’s office has complained to the Senate press gallery about a confrontation the vice president had with a conservative journalist last week on Capitol Hill.

Biden aides asked whether Senate rules were broken in the wake of the contentious exchange between the vice president and the reporter.

For the record: Mattera was wearing press credentials and is unapologetic about the fact that he was uninterested in making Biden love him for his marvelous questioning style. Which is as it should be, given that our elected officials are… elected officials. They’re not members of the nobility, or deities, or indeed anything except fellow-citizens of the Republic who are in fact well-compensated for their work. If Joe Biden doesn’t like that, well, nobody’s forcing him to be Vice President of the United States of America.

Besides, God knows that the press isn’t shy about going for the gotcha moment for my party’s politicians, so if the real message here is that “Joe Biden’s too stupid to be left to wander around without a keeper” then that’s good to know, too.

What the Vice President meant to say.....

Russ Martin (Diary) Tuesday, October 25th at 4:19PM EDT (link)

Instead of “Don’t screw around with me”, was “How dare you question what I say, and how I say it”.

“Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” George Washington

I like what William F. Buckley says...

“I won’t insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said.”

Biden was busted…again…and again…and again. One would think our Organizer in Chief would give him a handler or something just to keep him quiet. It’s amazing how MSM loved to whack on Dan Quayle for any little (or big ;-) thing, but completely miss the opportunitities to compile a gag reel for the O’s administration by following Joe (*not* the plumber) around and film him.

Marvelous work by Mattera

That’s one of those “watch over and over” videos.

Amazing how liberal hypocrisy folds under the teeeeeeniest bit of scrutiny.

…of hankies with him. Biden looked about ready to cry before he busted out with, “Don’t screw with me…”

If only the administration would practice the

sunshine rule of government. This Joe Biden is the same Joe Biden we were led to believe could police the funds that were to be used to stimulate the economy. Didn’t they say “Nobody messes with Joe?” Now it seems old Joe cannot take tough questions from reporters.

 
 

Biden is a bald face liar and the media lets him

get away with nearly all the time. For any with eyes to see, he is a complete idiot with his rants and bullying tactics–notice the pointed finger ala Bill Clinton. Yes, indeed, liberals have no intellectual positons, only lies and more lies.

 

Freakin Awesome

Thanks, Jason – that was inspired. I particularly liked the woman who got all indignant and said, “Um, who are you with?”

The self-righteous, holier-than-thou, arrogance of these people is astounding.

Keep up the great work, brother – there are more of us out here than you might think…

 

Pardon my French, but...

like so many of our entrenched career politicians, Biden is a pompous, arrogant dick. How dare a mere peasant question HIM, and then live to tell about it!

More and more our federal government is becoming everything we hated about the communist government. And all of us barnyard animals are equal, but the pigs are MORE equal.

[Note - out of respect for my fellow Conservatives, I changed the 'pr' above into a 'd'.]

It’s not about a purge. It’s about an insurrection.

 

Dems have gone from pandering to racketeering

Joe Biden, translated [spoken in a New Jersey 'Sopranos' accent]:

“Nice wife [sister, daughter, niece] you got there. Very pretty girl. It’s be a shame if anyone were to …take advantage of her. Now, let’s talk about how you’re gonna vote on my bill.”

It’s like a bad remake of the Godfather, or Goodfellas. Who would make a better Biden – Joe Pesci or Ray Liotta?

Shame on America for putting this gang of thugs in control in 2008.

Typo

You know we did this to ourselves

Wayne (Diary) Tuesday, October 25th at 8:35PM EDT (link)

By compromising with the left year after year, decade after decade, it’s come to the point where we’ve allowed the mob to represent us. And, is that who we are as a nation and people? People like Biden, Obama, Napolitano, Holder ent. al. will be thought of as great people in our schools if we don’t do something about it and I mean soon.

“To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” – Thomas Jefferson -

 

Nancy, have you still got the BIG gavel?

You reporters, journalists, urchins, rats….whatever you call yourselves. Bow and kneel and don’t ask questions. Do you know who I am??? I’m the VPOTUS. Veepotuss. What are you? Are you one-ah-them reeepublican teeeparty people?

NANCY! Get over here. Have you still got that silly looking gavel, I need it. No not that one, I need the BIG one.

 

Joe Biden, seriously??

civitates Wednesday, October 26th at 12:00AM EDT (link)

Ok, Obama is a Joke, no one except the far left takes him seriously anymore but Biden must ahve been chosen to make Obama look good.

I mean:
- He still hasn’t realized that cameras will pick up his f-bombs even if he whispers it
-Rape references
-He’s always mad about something
-Talking about golf with Boehner DURING Obama’s job’s speech

He’s good comedy

 

Come on now

quit picking on Joe. He is doing his part to stimulate the economy. I mean look at all of the jokes that have been made by him that get laughs on late night. Not only that he is “shovel ready”. There is also snake eyes harry in the senate when Biden has a day off. After all the private sector is doing fine on jobs it’s the government that needs help.

 

Mattera must be commended here.

mirac777 (Diary) Wednesday, October 26th at 5:53AM EDT (link)

The amount of composure that he showed while being borderline physically attacked for asking a simple question is remarkable to say the least. On the streets and in the real world this episode is called invading one’s personal space in a threatening manner which could result in Mattera defending himself.

Sooner or later one of these elitists thinking the can get away with this kind of intimidation are going to get what they deserve.. in the form of a good old-fashioned whipping. Then and only then will they think twice before attacking a person for simply asking them a question.

The gutless, shameless MSM-puppets bears the sole responsibility in creating this type of atmosphere where politicians are not supposed to be questioned. The halls of Congress are OUR DAM HOUSE and we will retain the right to question these tyrants and call them out every chance we get. I hope more people will follow Mr. Mattera’s lead here.If they try to silence him through this gestapo-like investigation, we need to march on DC and tell them it won’t be tolerated also.

United we stand…. Divided we fall.. into the pits of Socialism.

 

Was Mattera shoved?

Maybe I’m “reading” too much into it, but as Biden is hastily “urged” forward by his assistant who realizes Biden needed to be removed from the scene, it seems like Jason is semi-forceably pushed aside.

I thought I saw a hand on his chest.

Is this standard operating procedure for all press looking to “press” their questions as someone being questioned flees a scene?

if something should happen to Obama he would become president. I’m not sure which one is the worse of the two. maybe Joe because he is not just crazy.he is evil as well.
