You take a man's money when you sell him something. To not take someone's money, to refuse it, is an insult to quite a few - myself included. The honest business transaction is nothing to be ashamed of. If I want to buy something from you, you should be honored I think highly of your goods.

Trading money (the saying, "your money is no good here") for emotional blackmail is exactly what the guy did to Biden, and Biden saw it the moment it happened, and called the guy out for what he was.

To top it off, the emotional blackmail accusation the guy made was false.

Seriously, Dell - if you - and the other rightish-wing sites that are dissing Biden over this - are truely of the Libertarian mindset you all profess to be, you should easily see this. It's the guy who refused the money, then dissed Biden, who should be attacked by the right for his screwed up (from that point of view) moral code.

Bet you didn't know I remember my pure Ayn Rand

so what you are saying is the custard guy would make a good politician?
