The 'New Civility' (Cont'd): VP Joe Biden: Tea partiers like ‘terrorists’

On the plus side, Biden has seen fit to use the word 'terrorist' again after banning the term from being used in regards to those that fly airplanes into our buildings killing Americans by the thousands. To liberals, Islamic terrorists are misunderstood, but tea party patriots simply wanting the federal government to stick within its constitutional confines are the mortal enemy to be demonized to no end. Via memeorandumBiden: Tea partiers like ‘terrorists’. Witness that 'new tone' liberals were pushing on conservatives in the aftermath of the Giffords shooting in January:
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, according to several sources in the room.

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.”
Money that doesn't exist by the way. The federal government borrows $0.40 of every dollar it spends. And cutting back such insane theft of future wealth via deficit spending is terrorism? According to Biden, yup:
Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists.”
