We read:
"Vice President Joe Biden has been heavily criticised over reports he compared Tea Party Republicans to 'terrorists' during the debt-ceiling negotiations.
Officials said Mr Biden made the comments during a heated conversation with Democrat House members who were angry that Republicans got too much from the 11th hour deal.
Pennsylvania Representative Mike Doyle reportedly told the vice president that 'the tea party acted like terrorists in threatening to blow up the economy'.
Mr Biden has denied using the word and said he did not agree with the sentiment. He told CBS: 'I did not use the terrorism word - what happened was there were some people who said they felt like they were being held hostage by terrorists.
The comment sparked a furious reaction from Republicans. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, one of the most outspoken Tea Party politicians, told Fox News: 'With the president holding the American economy hostage, I would prefer to think of myself as a freedom fighter.'

Why Joe "Foot in Mouth" Biden was busy denying he said this the leftist pundits all over the place picked it up and ran with it.
Part of the return to civil dialog the dems demanded?
Then the bamster should love the Tea Party. He has never met a terrorist he did not like.
"Part of the return to civil dialog the dems demanded?"
When will these dumb thickheaded leftists finally learn to turn the other cheek? Sheesh!
I wonder how many people realize that the vice president of the United States called tens-of-millions of honest, hard-working American citizens "terrorists"? If they rely on the MSM for their news, the answer would have to be none.
Then, as is so typical for the incompetent nitwit, he denies saying it "after" he said it to reporters! Obviously, he's aware that the MSM will cover for him, as usual. He's also aware that come 2012, he'll be unemployed as he should've been all these years.
