I can easily see Biden inadvertenly offending Muslims, though.

And what would be wrong with that? The only thing better would be an INTENTIONAL offending of Muslims.

Now that wouldn't be a bad thing.

It’s the whole fact that he’s attacking the false messiah in the first place.

I agree with you-Biden is a disgusting serial liar, a slanderer , and an idiot, but I don’t think he’s an antiwhite/antiAmerican/antiwest/antiChristian/antiIsrael/moslem appeaser (if not worse...) like BHO. I think Pelosi is about as bad as BHO, but even less intelligent and less competent, and so less of a threat. I don’t *get* why so many seem to fear Joe Biden the plagiarist more than BHO the communist/marxist/racist POS.

Could be amusing. Biden “We brought you a bit of America - BBQ Pork rinds! These are the BEST!”

Gee, Ted, maybe had you all looked at his credentials, asked the right questions, heck, asked any hard questions, and looked past his racial makeup, you might have come to the same conclusion we did.

He’s fraud. He is a Hollyweird construct.

This strikes me as a very insightful & relevant commentary - especially because it's coming from the far Left. Rall may be nuts, but it's the nuts who break rank first, and this one is proving very articulate. Others may not be changing course yet, but are thinking what Rall has written (my favorite local hardcore "progressive" is awfully silent on politics lately).

This part nailed it:

Obama wants to let government goons snatch you, me and anyone else they deem annoying off the street. Preventive detention is the classic defining characteristic of a military dictatorship. Because dictatorial regimes rely on fear rather than consensus, their priority is self-preservation rather than improving their people's lives. They worry obsessively over the one thing they can't control, what Orwell called "thoughtcrime"--contempt for rulers that might someday translate to direct action.

With BHO systematically throwing all his best supporters under the bus, and cozying up with those who hate him most, he must acknowledge that power comes from either voluntary cooperation or brutal compulsion - and he's eroding the former very rapidly, even in his own base a la Rall. Only brutal compulsion is left, and by publicly admitting to seriously considering "preventive detention" he shows an expectation that consent of the govern will give way, and by extention that the only course to maintaining his power is, indeed, brutal compulsion.

At this rate, his own party will remove him before 4 years are up. Biden may follow suit, and I doubt Pelosi will be Speaker then. So who's #4?

Then we get Biden...eeeek!

Biden is stupid, but he doesn't have a colossal anti-American chip on his shoulder like The First Thug.

Gee whiiz, Teddy - did Obama Claus leave a turd in your Christmas, er, excuse me, holiday stocking?

Is that just a bit of buyers’ remorse setting in?

Useful idiots like Rall never learn from history. They’re the first ones thrown under the bus - or shot in the head - by the regimes they vote and applaud into power.

I fear that Obama has plans to create a new generation of the ‘disappeared’.

Or not

Assclown Rall should take a gander at Yuri Bezhmenov’s 1985 interview - wherein he describes exactly what happens to filth like Teddy once they’re done with them.

Hence Rall being scared, and writing what he did so publicly and articulately. He knows where this stuff leads, and is stunned to find himself on the wrong side of it despite his prior fawning support.

Rall suddenly understands the “thrown under the bus” phenomenon so common around BHO.

Yup. Not only that, but I can’t see the leftists rallying behind him. Joe Biden was as much help to the D ticket as John McCain was to the R ticket. People voted for either Obama OR Palin. The rest of the ticket was just there. Easily beatable in 2012.
