Couple of things... first, am I being punked? Have I entered some sort of twilight zone where everything has been flipped 180 degrees? Second, bless you Barbara West for getting past the Obama/Biden handlers and actually posing some serious questions. My guess is they won't allow it to happen again... Did anyone else find it almost surreal watching that? Strange how I've become so conditioned to the total media lovefest with the Obama campaign that an honest, probative interview seems so unreal...

What is now a trend in this Obamaniacs is they deluge a site featuring Ms. West's station with comments.

These maniacs are all over the Washington Times site to every other site "getting into people's faces" with the biggest shout down possible.They are rude, liars and just a nasty extension of Obama.

People should notice that Biden never once answered the questions of why Obama is not a Marxist when his lines from Karl Marx, his religion comes from Karl Marx infusions into Latin America which is what Jeremiah Wright preaches and it is the dogma that comrade Bill Ayers preaches and teaches.

How hard is it for these people on the left to explain what difference there is between Obama Marxism and Obama Democracy.

That is why they are shouting in they know Obama is a Marxist as I have pointed out exactly being a Trotskyite perpetual revolutionary.

What is amazing to me is these idiot propagandists like Williams, Couric and Gibson actually thinking they are going to be in the circle of Obama once he is elected. He will be slamming them down not with "no more interviews" but will be putting the FCC on them along with the Justice Department with IRS on General Electric, Disney and Viacom to shut them up.

They have created a monster and have no idea the Obama monster is going to eat them if he steals this election.

Noel, if that was a "tough" interview. The whole concept of tough is gone. Actually in looking at the interview , standing back, it was "talking point based". I mean it really was. It is fine to put out the questions, but a real pro would have done it in such a way as to ask the tough underlying question, which is, Sir, do you believe? The Marist preamble to the question kills the ligitamacy of the line of questioning because it allows the opposition to debumk it's "seriousness". These were serious questions asked the wrong way. I am so discouraged by the weakness of the arguments made by the people that want the truth that it seems to me that , it is time for a real course in business negotiation required by all those who believe in the truth and how to obtain it. I am more enamoured with Rush  as each day passes, scrape away the ego, the man is strategic thinker. If there were more of those in McCain Camp, this thing would be over. BTW, that link to the Kos site was my first exposure to the site. Lovely. An anchor woman is murdered and they have headlines about some Anne Coulter role in a movie. God forbid ,I ever see that garbage here.

Those mean people in Orlando. Didn't they receive the memo from the Obama campaign almost two years ago instructing them on what can, and can't, be asked? Don't they remember that they are supposed to be walking in lock step with their colleagues around the country? What were they thinking? Remember, the memo specifically said; softballs.

Maybe the folks at KFTV thought the memo only applied to Obama himself. Honest oversight. Bullet-point 16 pointed out that there should be no questions that might resemble vetting of any kind.

The memo also hammered out the agreement that included canning any on-air personality that failed to heed the interview requirements; poor Barbara West .

It's bad enough that Barb didn't see the earlier memo, but she must have seen the daily talking points memo. What was she thinking?

"RIGHT WING MEDIA" !!!???

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

<deep breath>

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

I suppose when you become an ardent supporter of Obama or you begin to think that Chomsky is brilliant, then everything outside your world-view is "right-wing."

I also love how they celebrate the "silencing" of their detractors/opponents...as if that is a good thing for freedom.

"I hope the campaign has been keeping a list of the tools like this bimbot."

Why would this person hope the campaign is keeping a list? So they know who to put into the gulags?

The left just don't get irony do they?

"An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Beyond This Horizon", 1942

...and it appears to be widening as each day passes.

Biden refuted the false association between ACORN and Obama...

Okay, that one speaks for itself. Seriously, does this Zaleski person live in a cave? Apparently so.

Either she is totally oblivious to the cold reality of Barack Hussein Obama's long and deep involvement with ACORN, which has been more than sufficiently documented by some rather well-grounded people, or she is lying through her keyboard.

...likening progressive tax policies to Marxism.

Exactly where does this Powers guy think these hideous tax policies were taken from in the first place? The Bible?

These idiots have been repackaging Marxism as "Progressivism" for so long they have lost sight of what the original product they are selling actually is.

They can refer to what they are pushing as liberalism, progressivism, or whatever other "ism" they can think of, but at the end of the day, when the mustard is cut, it is still nothing more than regurgitated Marxism.

Dumb as a fencepost.???

Really? Let's see:

Nice to see that the campaign has pulled their access.

A Hitlerian tactic if there ever was one, one this leftyboy666 moron appears to have no problem with. Think this mindless Obamaton cares one whit about freedom of expression, or free and open access? Somehow I doubt it.

Something tells me this individual will have no problem with an Obama administration using the police powers of government to silence any and all critics of Barack Hussein Obama. After all, he goes on to say this:

I hope the campaign has been keeping a list of the tools like this bimbot.

Yes, just like the list Hitler and Goebbels kept on their critics, and we all know what happened to most of them, don't we?

I'll bet if you were to ask leftyboy666 what he thinks of conservatives, I am pretty sure you would hear the names Nazi and Fascist used multiple times.

Yet, it is Obama who is using intimidation tactics to try and silence his critics, and he isn't even president yet. What do you think he will do once he has real power?

BTW, what kind of depraved person employs 666 as part of their SN on a blog site, anyway? That right there should tell you his grip is somewhat impaired.

Folks, it appears many on the left have become utterly moronic, so much so that they now represent the greatest threat to true freedom we have faced in this country since the British were still milling around on our shores.

These freedom-hating people must be defeated, and never allowed anywhere near the reigns of power in this country.

In order for wealth to be spread, it first must be seized.

I guess this is part of the 5% of the media that ISN'T in the tank for Obama.

One cable news network (Fox News), and a local news reporter for the #19 TV market in the US?

Definitely overwhelming proof that the eveeel Right-Wing media is in the tank for McCain.

CRY BABIES!

I would suggest that people who were impressed with her, and who don't want to see her destroyed like Joe the Plumber and all other dissidents, consider writing the station and congratulate them for having cojones!

Yall thought Katie Couric did such a good job "grilling" Palin and you never said a word when CNN lied to her in the middle of an interview. Now that Biden is treated tough, you get mad and try to hide the interview?

What, Biden can only sound intelligent with a script? If his platform is truly sound then it seems he could handle tough questions with confidence. Instead of getting angry why didn't Biden say "No our plans are distinct from Marxism and here's why..." Instead of changing the dialogue about socialism, Biden pouted and gave a defensive answer, which only gives the GOP more ammo that Biden doesn't know socialism when he sees it.

These people *always* freak out when their plans are revealed.

waaaaaaa....like little children.

a person in the media isnt fawning over us, isnt taking our spin as gospel, is asking a legitimate follow up on your statement of "spreading the wealth"....

remember Hilary Clinton in SF a few years ago:

"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." SF fundraiser to wealthy Americans.

These are marxist statements...and the question from the reporter is completely justified.

Does this make Obama/Biden a sexist?

'Plugs' Biden asked West ... "Who writes your questions?"

I guess she is too stupid to write her own question? So is Biden a sexist? I know he's a whiny cry baby for sure.

The Obama campaign (and, I'm very afraid, the soon-to-be Obama presidential administration), along with the MSM, has woven a sticky web of political tyranny that is about to ensnare the country in every more obvious ways. It won't work. There are national elections every 2 years and people will reject the increasing shutting up that is being demanded by the left. The pendulum will swing - always has, always will.

Biden never needs any help to sound like a complete buffoon.  Barbara West simply finished him.  Well, done, Ms. West, you're a credit to journalism.

Hey Joe, we're all stupid conservatives....please explain to us how this tax policy and Obama's statement about it is NOT marxist.

Please explain how the other leading Democrat, Hillary Clinton's statement that:

"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

isnt directly in line with the Spread the Wealth statement.

The Questions are perfectly legitimate, given the policies and statements of these candidates.

It is totally spineless to brush it off as a joke...and to, in turn, punish the person who asked the legitimate question.

What are you afraid of, Joe?  Be a man, suck it up, answer the question.

How will you succeed on the World stage if you cant answer a question from a reporter on a local news station? 

If these clowns are elected the first thing to go will be the 22nd Amendment, the second will be the 2nd Amendment and the third will be the 1st Amendment.

I swear that Barbara West's pointed questions had Biden's hairplugs standing on end at one point in the interview.

Here is INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY's take on Obama's history and policies - mandatory reading!

http://www.ibdeditor...

Frankly I thought that the questions were fairly easy and was surprised that there were no follow up questions to get to the heart of some of the revelations about Obamas ACORN connections and the spider web of interconnections with the so-called associate groups.

And no amount of bluster and obfuscation by Biden can change the concept of "spreading the wealth" which is Obamese for taking money from people who earned it and giving it to those who didn't!

     Barbara West deserves a Medal! I watched that interview from A to Z, and it was so uplifting to actualy see real questions being asked. As a result....the T V station will be boycotted by the Obama campaign. Afraid of a lady interviewer, but......gonna face all comers that mean our country harm. Yeah! Right! I hope we can continue to get news on this Lady, so, to keep track of foul deeds that may come her way as a result of this interview. Hopefully she will get a raise and a promotion!
