RNC: Biden interrupted
Ryan 82 times

Washington Examiner [DC], by Joel Gehrke

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 10/12/2012 12:04:24 AM

Vice President Joe Biden interrupted Paul Ryan 82 times in a 90-minute debate with rival Paul Ryan, while CNN reported that women preferred Ryan. “FACT: Final Count: Biden interrupted 82 times during the entire debate,” the RNC’s Joe Pounder tweeted after the debate. CNN’s Gloria Berger said that she would have liked Biden to show less “condescension” and “eye-rolling.” Even MSNBC’s Chris Matthews — who thought that Biden won the debate — said that Biden “was openly contemptuous and disrespectful”

All that was missing in Biden's performance was him throwing his feces at Ryan. It was like a flashback to the opening scene with the apes in ''2001 - A Space Odyssey. ''

Notice how Biden talks down to everyone, as if he's granting their stupidity an audience with a savant? And that smirking grin is so annoying.

I don't know how you could say anyone 'won' this pathetic debate. The moderator lost complete control and came across like Biden and Ryan were both debating her. Liberal women are an embarrassment to my gender.

Biden belongs debating with the Three Stooges, any one of whom has triple his intellect. Biden memorized some things of which he had no command and other than that just counted on interrupting to try and knock Ryan off his game.

Drudge has a link to an RNC video (The Laughter) showing Biden laughing as Ryan is speaking about the economy, Libya, military, etc.

"Vice President Biden is laughing," the video text at the end of the ad reads, "are you?"

Ryan looked like he did his debate prep in Zippy's Choomobile. Biden needs professional help. But what really scares me about that polident-fresh, wildly grinning, filibustering fool is how many middle aged women and white working class men buy his bologna. Doom is in the air this evening.

A more important question is how many times did the moderatetrix cut off Ryan versus Biden. It was absurd. She continually interrupted and stopped Ryan, but rarely did likewise with Biden. Our group started yelling out loud for her to start treating both candidates equally. And Biden's verbal interruptions were less noticeably offensive than his "Joker"-like smile. The guy is either on medication or needs to be.

The 'attack' plan (which it clearly was) is clear. The 'Rat lies and when the Republican attempts to expose it he rudely cuts him off and then the 'moderator' steps in and stops the response. On to the next lie.

At the very beginning of the debate when Ryan was discussing the murdering of our men in Libya, Joe Biden was shown falling off his chair laughing. I wondered what the murdered victims families were thinking about Joe's laughter.
As Ryan was discussing the threat of Iran building a nuclear bomb there is ol Joe again falling off his chair laughing. I honestly thought there was a good possibility Joe was drunk, his laughter was so inappropriate

I suspect that the Biden team hoped Ryan would be deferential to the VP and sho enuf - he was - too much. At some point, Ryan should have (could have would have) said to Raddtaz, excuse me Martha, but it's my turn as we all agreed to this format.

And quite frankly, how the heck does Ryan's family come out on that stage all smiles and shake Biden's hand or his wife's hands?

And speaking of Biden't wife - he had to bring up his first dead wife who was at fault in the car accident - not the other driver.

Oh and Biden is from Scranton, PA - whippee do. A perfect opportunity for Ryan to have said, but Mr. VP - how long have you been in the Senate - 30+ years.

Biden was disciplined in that he always brought up democrat talking points. I marveled at how he was able to bring up the 47% in almost every one of his answers, usually two and three times.

It appears to have been planned, as noted at #9 and #15 .... those interruptions when Ryan was speaking. The leftist moderator cut him off mid-sentence more than one time, while Jihad Joe jumped in 82 times, as Ryan attempted answer a question.

Guess they thought they could destroy his thought process by placing him on the chopping board. It didn't work. Biden and the abetting moderator were shown to be exactly what they are .... rude and classless.

Biden was so fake TV wrestler-like tough, in such plain bad taste, that I thought of turning off the so called debate. Between
Biden's 82 interruptions, and that strange woman's interruption of Paul, it was like a staged, bad play. Paul tried to make sense and was cut off so many times before finishing his thoughts that it looked like Joe was coached by Bill, the interrupter, O'Reilly, whose rudeness is his FORMAT !
Biden is a socialist ex senator, who is trying to act strong supporting his error filled, weakling, raging president.
One easy summation is that both Obama and Biden are possibly the two most angry, really mad people we've ever had in high office together. We've got to toss them out.
Both of them sickeningly played to the poor and downtrodden to soak up votes.

If facts don't matter, and they rarely do to limousine liberals, then Joe could have, with a stretch, won the debate.

The comment about the security having been cut at that Embassy because of a Ryann was ripe fruit. Ryan could have asked Dolt'n Joe why it was more important to have Chevy Volts and charging stations at the Embassy in Vienna, than armed security at an American Embassy in a radical Islamic country, especially after the Ambassador requested it.

It's clear that Obama/Biden both have contempt for Romney/Ryan. They showed it in different ways during the debates....but in both cases O/B were dismissive of the serious answers R/R were giving. Boy are they going to be taken aback on November 6th....about 90 EST.

Biden stated that "the administration didn't know the dead Ambassador requested more security." Also, they didn't know that there was no protest at the Embassy. They didn't know it was a terrorist attack until intelligence reported these this things weeks later..YET he believes we will KNOW when Iran acquires the ability to deliver nuclear weapons?? s/
The substance of the debate last night was deadly serious to each and every American, our precious troops are being thrown hither, tither and yon..like sacrificial lambs, with no bullets, the order to not shoot even if shot at..and Biden laughs.

It was obvious the moderator was in the tank for Biden. She cut Ryan off and let Biden run on. But, I think it all worked for Ryan's benefit. Ryan handled it perfectly. If the moderator did her job and controlled Biden, he would not have looked so stupid and would have had a better debate and Ryan would have less sympathy. Ryan handled it perfectly. He would not have done well doing what I thought to do, of pouring his glass of water on Biden's head.

Biden got his points across as above poster notes but they were mixed with blatant lies and political overspin as in the 47%.

obama's firm 47% is starting to ditch him in some states so maybe they know that to have a free and providing country we first have to have a country.

The crumbs from the Capitalists table are better here than all the confiscated wealth.

Ask the 47% of whom I am one in poverty and retirement dependency but not his 47% voter (formerly) lock along with the other discriminated against blue collar white guys and the gunnuts and rednecks and even the unemployed of the same IMO.

The stinky old bird Joe, dead duck, or rotten turkey did obama who shot from the lip that he couldn't be prouder 9of has helped obama have a lock or lean on only 10 states. Poetic justice from tangled webs?

Romney should tell Obama to pound sand himself in regards to the next 'moderated ' debate.
This was a disgusting travesty and Romney is a sucker to go to the next one.
Come to think of it, all Republicans are suckers for engaging in any debates with Democrats and a stacked deck of Democrat 'moderators'.

Just say no, Mitt.

Tell Obama that in light of the complete and utter lack of respect and civility toward a fellow American citizen exhibited by a sitting Vice President of the United States of America, the next two debates are in the can.

I was in a taxi on the way to pickup my car (by the way never use pepboys..) and the driver was listening to the debate.

I noticed right off how rude Biden was and how the "moderator" was cutting off Paul Ryan. She even re-directed the topic away from Libya to Iran as Ryan was scoring hits.

Today on Rush and Hugh Hewit radio and on websites the talk was about how rude Biden was. As Rush stated today, if Biden had won the debate we would still be hearing about it but the corrupt news people are already changing the subject as they know Biden lost big.

WASHINGTON There´s an irony in the Internal Revenue Service´s crackdown on conservative groups. The nation´s tax agency has admitted to inappropriately scrutinizing smaller tea party organizations that applied for tax-exempt status. But the IRS largely maintained a hands-off policy with the much larger, big-budget organizations on the left and right that were most influential in the 2012 elections and are organized under a section of the tax code that allows them to hide their donors.

Two Congressmen are asking the Treasury Department if it inappropriately scrutinized conservative-owned businesses the same way it targeted Tea Party groups filing for tax-exempt status. Republicans Mike Kelly (PA-03) and Jim Renacci (OH-16) circulated a letter Thursday requesting Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to release documents detailing the process and methodology the Automotive Task Force used to shut down General Motors dealerships in 2009 during the automotive industry crisis.

SAN JOSE— For most Americans in the United States, Armed Forces Day is not on the lists of likely holidays to honor the country’s military in celebrations of Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day. Sadly, most Americans may not even realize that Armed Forces Day is even a legitimate holiday. Armed Forces Day was established to be celebrated on the third Saturday in May. It started during Harry Truman’s administration when he led an effort to consolidate the various holidays supporting each separate branch of the military into a simple unified holiday to honor the four branches together.

Dorothy, the 14-year-old peregrine falcon that since 2002 has nested on a 40th-floor ledge of the Cathedral of Learning in Oakland, was perched on the limestone railing next to that nest and her lone chick shortly before 9 a.m. Friday. She´d just fed the 22-day-old chick a small bird for breakfast. "Baltimore oriole ... again," said Kate St. John, who blogs about the city´s peregrines. Someone else watching from the office inside the window next to the nest said it looked like Dorothy was calmly "chilling." Ms. St. John´s response was that nothing could be further from the truth.

WASHINGTON — An Internal Revenue Service watchdog testified Friday that he told Obama administration officials in June that he was looking into allegations the IRS targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. The revelation by Inspector General Russell George came at the first congressional hearing on the IRS misconduct, which has generated a political firestorm since it was disclosed a week ago. George’s testimony represented the first evidence that officials in the Obama administration knew of the allegations as long as a year ago, during the presidential campaign.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.
