Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, faced tough and critical questions from a reporter at the Orlando station, the Orlando Sentinel reported .
During a satellite video Thursday, WFTV's Barbara West quoted Karl Marx and asked Biden how Obama's comment to "Joe the Plumber," about spreading the wealth wasn't being Marxist.
"Are you joking?," Biden asked.
West replied, "No."

Later in the interview West questioned Biden about his comments that if Obama wins the election next month, he would be tested early on as president and wanted to know if Biden was implying America was no longer the world's leading power.
"I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden asked her.
The Obama camp then killed a WFTV interview with Biden's wife Jill, according to an Orlando Sentinel ****.
"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, according to the Sentinel.

No, PM, you are nothing more than an egotistical fascist, with a healthy dose of sadist pitched in.

here's the problem i have with statements like:
I'm a proud capitalist, conservative, and free marketeer!
free market implies anarchy. there is no free market, there's not going to be a free market without anarchy.
trying to equate Obama with Marx is something only totally uneducated people or the blind followers of a propagandist would do .
seems to me that the US is already suffering badly enough from blind followers beleiving whatever they are told...
McCain wants to buy bad mortgages with taxpayers cash, absorb the loss and GIVE people new mortgages that are tailored to what they can afford. that's straight out of the Communist Manifesto...

Obama IS a Marxist and Socialist. He believes in sharing the wealth and moving our country to socialism.

I agree, but I don't see any sign that you socialists are coming back to reality.

I agree - McCain is a socialist, but just not as far left as Osama Obama.

Outside financial considerations they want to establish absolute dictatorial control of each and every choice any one of us may now or someday have concern with.

That thing you've linked isn't a definition of free market. It is a propaganda piece extolling anti-government responsibility and authority and the lack of regulation on the financial markets.
Even more, it completely mis-states what socialism is and what its actions and reactions are, both in practice and theory. No wonder your simple and rigidly crystallized mind is confused.
Socialism IS NOT THE OPPOSITE OF THE FREE MARKET and the free market is not the opposite of socialism, though I can see how a weak mind could eagerly blunder into a fundamental and damaging confusion and assume that error. (It is like the mistake of believing that one who isn't a millionaire must be someone that is one million in debt or thinking that not having $5 means one has no money.)

Obama is neither a Marxist or a socialist does not even come close to one.
because he says the wealthy are to get a few tax increases they will still be paying less than they did 40 years ago as a percentage.
not to wish them ill but the middle class and the poor got nothing to give anymore.
lots of them are giving up there homes,jobs,health insurance,and quality of life.
Want a country? because pretty soon they won't be giving there lives anymore for oil and other gains of the major corporations.

...and that's why you're a Professor of Gibberish and not a professor of political science. Keep reading and maybe someday you can understand these simple principles.

Along with being a selfish and self centered jerk, you are a simple minded fool.

Murray N. Rothbard, who died in 1995, was the S. J. Hall Distinguished Professor of Economics at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. He was also the leading Austrian economist of the last half of the twentieth century. This article was edited slightly to reflect the demise of various communist countries.

You can still have criminal laws in a free market. I would be in favor of legalizing all drugs if we could have strick laws for the behavior of people and if we didn't have to provide handouts to druggies. In other words, if they want to spend their money on drugs, that's fine with me. However, I don't want to spend my money to feed, house, or provide medical care for them if they decide to make reckless choices! If they decide to steal to feed their habit, then I'd throw them in prison and throw away the key! (and there wouldn't be any perks in prison - bread and water and plenty of hard work sounds good to me!)

Uh huh.....small government only for financial stuff. Otherwise, pack on as many restrictions and punishments as can be imagined for stepping out of the right-wing ideal.

What, prey tell, are you going on about now?
Or are you still ranting and venting about being corrected on the hateful lies you plant.
It is you not me that tells the lies.
If you could manage to not tell asinine lies and spread vicious and false rumors you wouldn't be constantly setting yourself up for those corrections.

really? how do you pay for them? taxes don't go away in a free market? LOL... you keep reading the propaganda instead of thinking for yourself...
one of the most basic issues in a free market economy is that you only pay what you want to pay for what you want.
what you want isn't a free market at all...
since most (but not all) people want those things we form a government.
take the price of oil. July it was 147$ that had nothing to do with supply and demand. it was that high because unlimited leverage was allowed to banks (commercial banks in particular)
since they could borrow as much as they wanted to? they just kept borrowing more to keep buying contracts and the price kept on rising.
as soon as the outrageous lending stopped, and deleveraging began? the oil market collapsed.. (that's a free market)
but it didn't collapse before it caused a 20-40% increase in food prices...
yeah, i know, the Govt says it wasn't that high, but they don't shop where i do
