Florida television anchor Barbara West is getting national attention after an interview with Barack Obama's running mate, Joe Biden. She kicked off the interview by asking Biden whether he was embarassed by "blantant attempts to register phony voters by groups like ACORN".
She then asked:
How is Barack Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?
Biden asked, "Are you joking?" The station said that West was equally aggressive with John McCain. Check out the video and see what you think.
The Obama campaign responded to the interview:
This campaign has now spanned 21 months and Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Joe and Jill Biden have done countless tough interviews and they've answered every single question. Let's be clear: This station's interview with Joe Biden wasn't tough -- it was just absurd.
More of the interview is here. Do you think she gave Biden and McCain the same treatment?
