Send Seal Team 6, Then

The civility movement:

Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit, according to several sources in the room.

Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.

“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”

Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists.”
Well, we can't negotiate with terrorists. Guess the Tea Party needs to be stopped by any means necessary. I'd suggest sending in Seal Team 6. Although I suspect the better choice would be this group.

All part of the new civility. Traditional politicians can't understand how anyone could get elected and then actually hold themselves to the promises made when they ran for elections. What I found particularly amusing is how each liberal pundit copies the other one's phraseology. It's like there are no orignal thoughts left in their playbook.

You know, when someone leads with an ad hominem like that, they've done me a tremendous service. Why so? It's because they've just told me that they are either unable, or unwilling, to make a real argument, and little else they might say will matter.

Yep. It's another way of saying "I got nothin'."

Joe Biden borrowing someone else's terminology? Unthinkable! Or just plain unthinking.

As I've posted elsewhere, if Biden et al want to call them terrorists, our response should be, "No, they're freedom fighters."

Biden not thinking? Next, you're going to tell me that Prince put three women up on stage to writhe and kind of sing, and tried to name them after a private female body part or something.

Let's get real, now.

Now that tea party types are considered domestic terrorists, will the U of Illinois be offering them faculty chairs?
