During a fundraiser on Tuesday with Barack Obama, Joe Biden claimed he watched Bull Connor sic the dogs on demonstrators in Birmingham, Alabama when he was in grade school. Okay, that took place in April and May of 1963 when Biden was twenty years old. What happened Joe? Did you flunk about 8 grades in order to be such an old grade schooler. Also since Biden's family moved to Delaware in 1953, he could not have seen Bull Connor in action in Scranton, Pennsylvania as he claimed.
Therefore, Joe's story about watching Bull sounds like... BULL.
It maybe wishful thinking, but combine all the BLM crap with senile Joe and a positive message about low unemployment, pro-union manufacturing, coal, and shale oil/gas jobs and there might be a chance to make Lakawanna County red. Let's not forget the other pocketbook issue. Crazy Joe wants to destroy jobs through higher taxes and minimum wages.
No, I'm full of it. It will never work.
My father was a Police Detective on the Birmingham Police Force while Bull Connor was Public Safety Commissioner, and Connor was kind of my honorary godfather.
My father said that Connor didn’t really like what he ended up doing, but that if he didn’t, he said that he’d likely be lynched himself.
I was on the college track team with one of his close relatives. He loaned me his “Hurdler”s Bible”. I learned a lot from it.
***April and May of 1963***
I remember it well. I was 16 years old, and am 73 now. I graduated High School at 17 in 1964.

I’m waiting for Joe to tell how he rescued JFK when his PT boat sank in WW-II.
Thank you for your service, PJ!
That's plain to see there, ain't it? :-)
Great catch PJ
Joe Biden suffers from a major neurocognitive disorder. Could be due to traumatic brain injury or some other form of dementia.
What Joe meant to say he was in the grade school sniffing and feeling up little girls.
Very typical that long term memory is the most resistant to decline. Short term memory is the first to go. That’s why they used to call senility”second childhood.” People could remember their birthday party when they were five but not what they had for breakfast that morning. Biden shows something different, called confabulation. When there is a large gap in memory, the patient fills it in with some story that he thinks up as he goes along just to fill in the blanks.
“All you gotta do is tell them you’re going to bring the dogs. Look at ‘em run. I want to see the dogs work’’.-Eugene “Bull’’ Conner. WTF are you talking about?
My dad was a cop when Conner was chief. I was young but remembered the day daddy didn’t come home. A rioter had thrown a brick through the patrol car windshield. No safety glass then. He put his hands up to protect his face and was showered with glass. He had to go to the ER to have them remove what they could and apply bandages. He never mentioned seeing Joe either.
I’m saying that what Connor thought and said in private and what he felt he had to do in public were two completely different things.
I think you would find that a lot of people felt that way back then, but it wasn’t healthy? to say it out loud.
You might consider this analogous to how many of the Founding Fathers were against slavery and wanted to get rid of it, but realized that it was not possible to form a country without it.
And of course, you had people like LBJ who was pushing the Civil Rights Act in public, but in private he was saying that if ‘we pass this we’ll have those n*****S voting for us for a hundred years.’ And even then he couldn’t get enough Dem votes to pass it, without the Republican votes.
You need to read just what kind of a racist Democrat bastard Connors was.
