How dare anyone say anything negative about Biden or the President!

FIND HIS NAME! GET HIS ADDRESS! DESTROY! DESTROY!

Sorry dude… you insulted someone on the left. Your life is over. Enjoy the temporary spotlight… forced seclusion is around the corner.

The man was outstanding. I think FOX has found its next Joe the plumber.

VP Bite Me strikes again!

Who wants to bet this guy is audited next year?

Having resided in Wisconsin for more than two decades, I can say without hesitation that Kopp’s Frozen Custard is one of my favorite treats. Great stuff.

“To his credit, though, Borkin resists the Fox crew’s attempt to turn the quip into a pro-business rallying cry, pretty much saying that his situation is no worse than anyone else’s. Turns out, he was just a guy trying to be funny.”

Exactly. He was just being a clown and a smart-ass. Yet in the other thread all the right wing scumbags were up in arms that he wasn’t taken seriously. THE OUTRAGE!!! IT WAS A VALID POLITICAL STATEMENT!!!!LOLOL!!!!

Dumbasses.

I’m glad he is not falling into the trap of being a poster boy for the teabaggers.

BFD, I love your self-righteous attitude toward small business owners. Of course, you know how to spend their money much better than they do. On brilliant pork barrel projects, and other kinds of kickbacks to lobbyists and donors (now called stimulus), huh?

Here’s a concept idea for you to consider: how about letting people spend their own money? Or is that disallowed by the rules for radicals?

What the hell are you talking about. I never mentioned how I felt about the guys taxes. I was very measured in my response about that.

All I ever commented on was the appropriateness of the guys clowning at that time and place, and Biden’s reaction to it.

Stop making shit up, douchebag.

Easy BFD. No one is served by name-calling.

You assholes can argue til the cows come home about taxes and war and the constitution but stop trying to drag me into your boring pointless egotistical insanity.

I am here to discuss the media and the gaffes newsmakers make.

Grow some balls or gtfo. lolol

The guy was trying to be funny, in a bar room kind of way, in a place other than a bar, and the VP, and this is why we love him, called him a smartass, in a bar room kind of way And I wonder how much the guy earns to think that the tax code is oppressive to his livelihood? Rather, most likely, he is among the undead that have been enlisted by the wealthy elite to protect their own capitalistic profit margins.

Thanks for the advice.

Well, I for one hope he doesn’t get the Joe the Plumber treatment. The way the media attacked Joe was shameful; he didn’t deserve to be trashed by the liberal media just because he asked Obama a question.

I don’t blame him for being shocked though; one doesn’t expect that kind of language from our POTUS or VPOTUS; at least they didn’t prior to this admin. Pres Kick-ass and VP smart-ass.

You idiots are the one that propped Joe the Plumber up, we just shot him down..

BECAUSE IT WAS SOOO FRICKIN’ EASY!!!!!LOLOL!!!11!!

It was like shootin’ Palins in a barrel.

Paul,
Don’t worry about BFD, he was dropped on his head alot as a child. See he can’t argue like an adult, so profanity is all he has. I find it best to ignore him, even though it’s hard sometimes.

You see Paul, you are a liberal who MichelleF likes.

If that doesn’t give you a heads up about what a pathetic pussy you are I don’t know what will. ;)

TFT,
A President or VP using foul language (assuming “smartass” qualifies), you have got to be kidding, unheard of among our prior presidents. :-)

Joe the plumber was just one of the pathetic side shows that the Republicans trotted out last election cycle. I mean, be honest.

Real quick… no you’re not.

You’re here to be as annoying and inappropriate as possible, until you get booted. Your targets are always on the right, or FOX News. Your politics are clearly anti-far-left, and your rhetoric reflects a complete lack of decency and respect.

It’s one thing to claim something that’s not true about folks on television… it’s another thing to be completely dishonest when critiquing yourself. Who you trying to fool, Same?

MichelleF says:

Actually… before BFD was BFD, he/she was Same2U. I once had a conversation with Same about the language he/she uses… the response pretty much summed it up, “I’ll say whatever I want, inappropriate or not, until I get kicked out.” BFD/Same doesn’t have much respect for anyone other than him/herself. Head-dropping perhaps… but immature anger definitely.

Yes! How dare an average American ask a question that doesn’t profess love and admiration for Obama?! I guess that’s why after that moment, all his “town halls” were pre-selected.

You are a complete idiot. lol

Essentially you do not like Biden for calling the guy a smartass, and he was, all politics aside, but you celebrate the fact that Joe the custard man could use the opportunity to belittle taxes. I suppose it is a great American past time to belittle taxes, but without them, we would have no military, no fire fighters, no libraries, no roads, no safe food, and a thick haze over our cities.

Seriously? Seriously? No POTUS used “that kind of language” before this administration?

The name Adam Clymer ring a bell?

Adam Clymer was and continues to be an asshole.

What’s your point?

BUT BUSH NEVER MEANT US TO HEAR THAT!!!!!

Haha…I guess it’s alright if you beat your wife as long as nobody see it.

I believe it’s “major league,” notsofast – which is the funniest thing Bush ever said.

Scott Borkin is my cousin, yay :)

You must be wearing support hose!

The left wing thugs in the Jackassocrat party and the media (i know, I know..i’m being redundant) will try to destroy Mr. Borkin now..

…he should get bodyguards..or at least make sure he arms himself at all times

It’s nice to know that the president could have come up with a “quip” that was more sophisticated than a crass appellation.

Biden is such a dud.

Can I just point out that Biden was joking? We all know Biden has an abrasive sense of humor. Look here:

http://www.wisn.com/video/24053410/index.html

You can tell he clearly was joking around and the manager said he enjoyed Biden’s banter and appreciates his sense of humor.

Kilmeade says that it looked like Biden was angry, but you can clearly see that Biden is smirking, like he’s joking. You can hear people laughing in the background, which indicates the jokey atmosphere. Biden even said he was kidding.

Too much about nothing.

These Fox and Friends hacks are almost as big opportunist weasels as that molester Hannity.

You can blame Joe the Plumbers treatment on McCain and Palin. The way they paraded him all over the country and put him in the spot light. You know damn well anyone they do that to is going to be researched. If you don’t you’re an idiot.

BTW, you can blame Joe the Plumber too. He loved the spot light until it got to bright. He should have just asked Obama the question and then kept his mouth shut.

what a country we live in huh? calling another man a smart ass is a story LMAO!

What a hypocrite. Im not Blue only attacks people on the left. If you say anything about Fox, anything at all he will go into the attack mode on Olbermann even if Olbermann doesn’t have a damn thing to do with the subject.

The media personalities who all went after Joe the Plumber were all campaigning for himself, the one. At least be honest about what happened. Joe asked a question of Obama, got an honest answer that was shocking and now proving to be true. The media didn’t like that Joe asked the question…because they don’t ask teh one any hard questions….they just kiss his ring (and more).

Joe was treated like a pariahs because his interaction with Obama revealed the real Obama and not the one on the pedestal that the media created for him.

No citizen deserves the treatment that Joe got by the left wing, liberal biased, obama loving, dnc suck-up media.

TFT,
Except “Joe” was not his real name, he was not a real plumber, and he was a creation of FOX news. If you are going to be mad at someone, blame FOX for making a fool out of McCain/Palin and the tea party republicans.

First off, the guy didn’t say “get rid of taxes.” Secondly, are you really denying that taxes are frequently misused and wasted? Really? You don’t think they could cut back on some of the stupid things, and spend money more wisely? Really?

Yeesh.

Didn’t I already prove that false? Yes… and then you said, “Yeah, but everybody attacked that guy, so it doesn’t count.” Typical changing the rules after you’ve started to play.

If you say anything about Fox, anything at all he will go into the attack mode on Olbermann even if Olbermann doesn’t have a damn thing to do with the subject.

False. I’ll only bring up KO if his hypocrisy, and the hypocrisy of his fans is relevant to the topic. Sorry to state that you’re wrong… again… but at this point, it’s like you’re not even trying.

Right. He was all over the news… every news… but it’s still FOX’s fault. It must be nice to have a perpetual boogeyman that allows you to ignore logic and facts. Must be nice… but wrong.

It’s all in good fun. When Biden called that guy a smartass, he should have laughed and replied, “Go f*** yourself, Joe.

Blue,
So you are OK with taxes, but you wish that the money would be used more prudently than it currently is. Is that about it? My question would be, how do you determine what is prudent and what is foolish?

Valkyrie, here is a starting point for determining prudent spending. If congress approves a trillion dollar spending bill without reading it, it is not prudent. Of course, Democrats disagree. They must either be slow readers, or fast spenders.

Felix,
Just to be clear, you agree that taxes are necessary but argue that the money raised should be spent more prudently? You have nothing per se against taxes, or increase in taxes?

I hadn’t watched this F&F clip until it was excerpted on last night’s Daily Show and what got my attention, so much that I came back here to view the entire segment is when Kilmeade calls the guest “a small business guy”, “trying to make ends meet”…

Uh… Brian… he’s the manager of a single custard shop location that’s part of a small chain. He may have some profit-sharing incentive as part of his compensation package, but he’s primarily a salaried employee and his reference to “taxes” was a bar room joke about the 1040.
