FINALLY! *Someone* nailed it that Ahmadinejad is NOT in control of Iran's military! Thank you, Joe!

[Roland99]

I've been beggng for somene, anyone, to call the rwingnuts on focusing so much on Ahmadinejad and how we must FEAR him!

He has NO control over the Iranian military. The Supreme Leader is the Commander-in-Chief.

Thank you, Sen. Biden!

[Roland99]

1. anyone else catch that?

[mmonk]

2. Yes, I did.

I'm glad he corrected her because I am so tired of hearing falsely framed debate in the media.

[soccermomforobama]

3. Obama made the same point to McCain

last week. It is a point that cannot be stressed enough.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

23. Yep. Mentioned in the last debate, as well.

[bdamomma]

4. yes, he said it was theocracy didn't he?

the mullahs and the clerics have the last say.

[Roland99]

7. Yea, the Supreme Leader

and we dont hear them going off on rants. w/o Bush, Ahmadinejad wouldnt be half the "firebrand", I bet.

[nc4bo]

8. Yea theocracy, that's what the fundies would love to do to the U.S. too. nt

[WinkyDink]

5. Palin simply wanted to REPEAT the NAME to appear SMART.

[endthewar]

6. I swear I could hear the pages rustling in the background

Palin's constant interjection of nonsensical answers was like a poorly made, low budget Hollywood film in terms of acting.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. Just before the debate, someone posted on GD about something Ahmadinejad said

and I said that what he says has no bearing at all because he doesn't call the shots. The Ayatollah Khamenei does.

I applauded when Joe busted that myth!!!!

[bdamomma]

10. and when Joe said Cheney was the most dangerous VP.

he wasn't kidding either when he said that.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

13. He was dead serious and I hope that her remark about wanting to expand the Vice Presidency

sunk in, scaring the sh*t out of people.

[bdamomma]

15. I think Keith in his post debate show said that right away.

expanding VP powers, and Rachel Maddow struck her down also.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. Didn't Fineman say that too?

[bdamomma]

19. Chris was pretty good too, he said she recited everything.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

20. lol! Tweety said she looked like a contestant at a spelling bee!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[bullwinkle428]

11. Of course, that message won't get through to the Freepers, busy

flogging the dolphin during the debate, but it was great to see him school the undecideds a little bit. Maybe they'll be a little less willing to get suckered by the Grand Old Parade of Lies...

[sfam]

12. I like it that Biden attacked McCain for that instead of Palin...

Good move on his part.

[MindMatter]

14. It took her 3 weeks to learn to pronouce that one.

You don't expect her to memorize any more names, do you?

Besides, what difference does it make? To them, one boogeyman is as good as another.

[npincus]

17. YES- I loved that... I was waiting for him to say that.

[Virginia Dare]

18. I'm so glad he called them out on that..

Americans don't understand who controls Iran, Bush, McCain and the right wing are purposefully pushing disinformation on that point, much like the Saddam-9/11 connection, or lack thereof.

[bigwillq]

21. Our Joe was outstanding.

He did what he had to do. Great job, Vice President Biden.

[freestyle]

22. Obama said the same thing to McCain in debate 1. n/t

[moodforaday]

24. Loved it. The only other

public person I've heard saying that on air was Mike Malloy.
