Will Barack Obama condemn Biden and Hoffa calling Republicans 'barbarians' and 'son of a bitches'

I enjoy political hardball as much as the next reporter. It’s barely concealed truth that campaign journalists, like the operatives we cover, love negative campaigning and revel in OTT insults and martial rhetoric. Even candidates often lapse into the language of “rip his throat out”, “tear his eyes out” or “drive a stake through her heart”.

It’s no secret either that many Republicans despise Democrats with a passion and vice versa. Just as British MPs hide their contempt of their opponents by referring to them as “the honourable member’, American politicians have their own, albeit less formal, ways of masking their true feelings with anodyne language for public consumption.

But the statements today by Jimmy Hoffa Jr and Vice President Joe Biden demean the presidency and, tactically speaking, are stupid own goals

Will Barack Obama condemn Joe Biden and Jimmy Hoffa for calling Republicans 'barbarians' and 'son of a bitches'

[Ann Archy]

No.....Democrats have NO CLASS!!!!! They are VILE and EVIL.

[lentulusgracchus]

Also ungrammatical. It's "sons of bitches".

That's what you get for not paying attention in third-grade recess.

[SMARTY]

It is abject thuggery.

“O” is the Thug in chief.

No...I bet he won’t say anything.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

To Do List
Water
Batteries
Food
AMMO

[Izzy Dunne]

No, duh.
He’s already said he’s “proud” of Hoffa.

[hal ogen]

The answer does start with a “C”...Congratulate.

[Earthdweller]

A high powered Dem and Obama buddy...comparing women to whoring animals and using violent rhetoric to rally “Obama’s army” all in one sentence. Hey..why am I not surprised. Feel the love ladies and gents./s. And the Dem crowd CHEERS!!!

Comrade Wasserman Shultz was interviewed this morning and didn’t comment when asked directly about the incident. She ranted instead about Romney or something.

"NO, I'm king and civility is just for the enemy,they must follow the rules, they must submit to my desires"

Comrade Wasserman Shultz was interviewed this morning and didn’t comment when asked directly about the incident. She ranted instead about Romney or something.

Wasserman Shultz refused to give an official DNC response to the course language directed toward the Tea Party. Gretchen kept asking for her to answer that question. Finally, W-Shultz said, "I NEVER hear you asking the Tea Party about their language!"

[Earthdweller]

Comrade Wasserman Shultz will be the first to the Utopian socialist work camps and likely "Clintoned" like the animal her friends see her as...

Used and abused Dem women: the epic hypocrisy of a lifetime.

[cripplecreek]

Gretchen Carlson had Wasserman Shultz cornered about it a few minutes ago and its pretty obvious the democrats have no plan to even acknowledge it.

[jersey117]

Too late. He had his chance when he took the stage.

[Vehmgericht]

People are intentionally misinterpreting what Biden and Hoffa said. They did not call Tea Party participants “barbarians” and “sons of bitches” in an uncivil way. They affectionally referred to them as “barbarians” and “sons of bitches.”

[Earthdweller]

Shultz is a wimp and a chicken. I've learned that most Dem women are weak sisters looking for big government to save them from the big bad world they see all around them. They don't have to look far..their nightmare is usually standing right next to them.

[jersey117]

So true. That’s why they hate us conservative women so much.

[opentalk]

There were over 500 comments at the UK link site. Obama is an International embarrassment to US.

[Jim Noble]

No.....Democrats have NO CLASS!!!!!

It's not that they have no class.

They seek power by both electoral and non-electoral means. I predicted that the outcome of Florida 2000 would be the formation of an SA to help Democrats win future elections, and I was right.

[flowerplough]

No.
