They have a lot of nerve talking about how Sarah Sanders was treated.

ROANOKE, Va. — Joe the Plumber, meet Chris the Baker.
The Republican ticket has embraced a new small-business hero. On Wednesday, the owner of a bakery who last week turned away Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. introduced Representative Paul D. Ryan at a rally in this city where President Obama uttered his “You didn’t build that” remark.
Chris McMurray, the owner of Crumb and Get It Cookie Company with his wife, told a crowd at another small business, a hardware store, “We are gathered here today to send a message to the Obama-Biden team that we did build it.’’
Mr. McMurray said the Biden campaign approached him to ask if the vice president could drop by his cookie shop while campaigning, and he replied, “Nothing personal, but I just happened to disagree with the president and the vice president on a few things.”
The story vaulted from local news to the Drudge Report and conservative blogs, and voilà, Mr. McMurray became the latest small-business owner spotlighted by the Romney-Ryan campaign in a monthlong hammering of Mr. Obama for supposed anti-business attitudes and policies.

lol. There is nothing new under the sun.
But...but...but...it.was different!
And besides.....ummm Hillary.
Nice catch, I wonder what the hypocrites' response will be?
"Mr. McMurray said the Biden campaign approached him to ask if the vice president could drop by his cookie shop while campaigning, and he replied, “Nothing personal, but I just happened to disagree with the president and the vice president on a few things.”
So Joe "Hands Always On Girls" Biden was NEVER at the store, and was NEVER thrown out of the store he NEVER went too.
Good article.
Biden was told not to bother coming.
Why do you think Ryan brought the baker to the rally? Because he liked his cookies?
Like I said....Biden was NEVER asked to leave a place he was ACTUALLY sitting at with friends.
True, he was just told to stay away from a cookie store. Are you happy now?
So the point of the article is ?????
I can only explain things so far. At some point you have to figure something out for yourself.
So it was a comparison FAIL, and an explanation is impossible ?
You saw a bunny wiggling it's nose again didn't you. They are cute.
Your argument seems to run in a very small circle.
It's like you seem to think you know me.....
I guess a "Simple" explanation of the articles point "IS".....really IMPOSSIBLE.
You really can't the difference between having you and your store used as a campaign prop and refusing to serve someone eating dinner in a private capacity?
Sean, the baker was brought on stage by Ryan, BECAUSE he turned Biden away. There is nothing in the story about it being because the baker didnt want to be part of a campaign photo. It says it was because he disagreed with the Obama policies. And that is the way Ryan presented it.
A campaign stop off at his place of business? So it wasn't Biden was refused service, it was he was refused a political endorsement by an owner that didn't agree with his politics. If you can't tell the difference there is no helping you. Poor Biden missed out on a media photo opp; and some expected "free" samples for him and the media hounds that were following. I am sure they found a different business- probably even food related- that accommodated his request.
Uh huh, and he just happened to wander up on the stage at a Ryan campaign rally. The only reason he was on that stage is because he refused service to Joe Biden. Sheesh.
They are uncivil and get invites to the WH. Nugent uses guns to threaten or intimidate Hillary and look at Nugent's hateful incivil language and actions.
Gianforte attacked and body slammed a reporter, I believe and English reporter for the Guardian, and was convicted. Yet still in spite of the hatred and violence right wing haters loved it and elected him anyway.
Did the words "In 2012" in the title give away the time of the story? Oh my.
“We are gathered here today to send a message to the Obama-Biden team that we did build it.’’
What did they build exactly? The roads that get people to their bakery? The utilities that connect their bakery to the rest of the world? It is sad how the mouthbreathing nonthinkers of this country have no concept of infrastructure, and just take it all for granted.
Biden campaign approached him to ask if the vice president could drop by his cookie shop while campaigning
Whoops!
Regardless, this only magnifies my thoughts as to one party being just as ridiculous as the other. The recent Sanders flap, coupled with the other antics over the past few years (By both parties) only serves to reinforce the notion that we have not only reached the edge of stupidity as a people, but we have dived head first into a cesspool of absurdity.
