Reporter who bugged Biden: ‘They’re suggesting that my credentials get yanked’ for ‘rape’ question
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/25/2011 | Matthew Boyle

Vice President Joe Biden’s office has asked the U.S. Senate Press Gallery to investigate conservative journalist Jason Mattera’s tactics during a recent interview, a process that could result in his press credentials being revoked, The Daily Caller has learned.

Mattera, the editor of Human Events and a widely known video ambush interviewer, caught Biden by surprise after asking if he would pose together for a joint picture. While embracing the vice president for the photo, Mattera asked Biden if he “regret[s] using a rape reference to describe Republican opposition to the president’s bill.”

Because none of those parties are answering any questions, it’s unclear what specific rules Biden’s office is alleging Mattera broke. Mattera said these allegations are nothing more than a deflection tactic.

It's pretty obvious Joe Biden has rape on his mind big time.

Wonder if his staff is keeping an eye on him or are they going to just turn him loose at one of those "Occupy....." encampments where he can get his first choice in 14 year olds.

“The communists have literally made this a goal.”

I’m totally aware. Nothing is perfect, and that applies to conservatism. Part of what makes conservatives strong, is what has led to this sorry state of our youth.

Conservatives tend to be self reliant. When conservatives recognized that the public school systems were failing, they took alternate routes. Vouchers, private schooling, home schooling. Communists have filled the void of leadership that conservatives once had in our public schools. That gives them access to kids who are, in general, not well parented. A perfect result for the commies.

It’s only going to get worse.

“The reporter could not be reached for comment....”

He ceases to be a useful idiot.

Actually, this reporter is lucky. If he had asked Stalin a similar question, he’d be shot.

Just wait a few months. It will start.

“Occupy Biden’s head”

Plenty of open space.

Imagine the echo of the commie bullhorns?

Thus the Obama/Biden Administration reveals itself for the totalitarian operation that it truly is.

...or if Dick Cheney had told a reporter, “Don’t screw with me!”
