It is acceptable that CODE PINK distort, lie, manipulate the events in Iraq and slander political leaders - that is patriotic.
It is acceptable that MOVEON.ORG fund anti-Bush and anti-Republican political leaders - because the Democrats benefit, and it is patriotic.
It is perfectly acceptable for Biden, as a Senator to attack the Vice President , question his integrity, honor, and patriotism - that is also patriotic.
BUT it is not acceptable ....

Schakowsky: Tea parties 'despicable'
@ 1:23 pm by Eric Zimmermann
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) blasted "tea party" protests yesterday, labeling the activities "despicable" and shameful."
"The tea parties being held today by groups of right-wing activists, and fueled by FOX News Channel, are an effort to mislead the public about the Obama economic plan that cuts taxes for 95 percent of Americans and creates 3.5 million jobs," Schakowsky said in a statement.
"It's despicable that right-wing Republicans would attempt to cheapen a significant, honorable moment of American history with a shameful political stunt," she added. "Not a single American household or business will be taxed at a higher rate this year. Made to look like a grassroots uprising, this is an Obama bashing party promoted by corporate interests, as well as Republican lobbyists and politicians."
