Biden: Tea Party 'Acted Like Terrorists'


Dems. comparing the tea party to terrorists? Even for a loquacious chap like Joe Biden, that's excessive, to say the least. Is this the "new tone" we keep hearing calls for amidst the DC Morality Lecturing Circuit?

From Politico:
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.

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,” according to several sources in the room.
