Biden was a “war hero???”

This has to be among the stupidest lies the liberal media has told, since it is so easily, totally, debunked!

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Maybe he is talking about the war on the American people . . .

Well, he’s been fighting the war on evil since 1972. Or was it ‘74.....šŸ¤”šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

I donā€™t think he meant that literally a war hero, he was drawing a narrative comparison to fictional heroes who retire but come off the sidelines and back into the fray for one last fight.

But he did say it and his side famously misrepresents what Trump and others says all the time. I guess whatā€™s good for the goose?

Doesn’t matter. You can debunk it until the cows come home but the libs don’t listen to non-libs. It will be effective.

But, really, Biden is probably most famous for inventing the airplane.

Interesting take, and I think you might be right. But as you say, he did say it, and I’m sure many viewers believed it.

Yes, just a rhetorical flourish, because Biden is so inspirational.

Sure, didn’t ya know? He drove a semi tractor frai,er truck throughout Cambodia, to deliver Chinese food to the starving Cambodians and the homeless- all at great personal sacrifice. He also discovered the cure for cancer while stuck,in a ditch on sultry summer morning as he waited for a tow truck to arrive. Having grown impatient, he lifted the tractor trailer out of,the ditch himself, after having rolled up his pantlegs which revealed his super hairy legs to,the onlooking crowds who stood in awe. He rewarded the patient adoring crowd by sniffing their hair for hours.

You people are just too literal.

Of course Joe Stolen-Valor never actually served in the military anywhere, and for reasons even more specious than the reasons that liberals like to club Donald Trump with, for “exemption” from military duty.

The allusion was to the old retired “warrior” being called back into the fray after Charlottesville, as “duty to his honor”.

Joe Biden was, is, and always be a diminishment of human achievement everywhere, and the textbook example of a hack politician, more interested in embellishing and polishing his “image” than in any acts of statesmanship.

It turns out that MSNBC was right after all.
Here we see 2-year-old Joe Biden rolling towards the Rhine with Pattonā€™s 3rd Army.

The only time Biden has been around a hero is when he ordered a salami sandwich in some Scranton deli.

He was, he was the retired war hero out in the mountain, chopping wood.

Seems like he meant this to be metaphorical. He failed.

Someone falsely claiming military service in order to brag or impress others is not a crime. STUPID YES. INSULTING YES.

So, we ALL know that Joey is a Habitual Liar. Libs are Habitual Liars, Media are chock-full of Habitual Liars, as is anyone on the LEFT.

So, is anyone here surprised that someone from any of these groups is now CLAIMING that Joey is a War Hero?????

In my experience most if not ALL Braggards are full of SH!T, just like Joey’s Diaper!!!

Exactly right. He was using a METAPHOR, for crying out loud. We look like idiots for running with this.

I'm curious, though. What war hero retired to the mountains, was chopping wood, and "Charlottesville brought him back"? Sounds like somebody in the Civil War. George Washington was famously called back from retirement at Mt. Vernon to lead the country as its first president.

Maybe he's saying that the lies told about Trump about the Charlottesville event are what animated Biden to get into the race? It sounds like a wildly mixed metaphor -- war hero, chopping wood in the mountains, called back by horrific events at Charlottesville. It took a fevered mind to conjure that one up.

The mental image of Biden "chopping wood" is hilarious. They guy has never done a lick of hard work in his life much less had a callous on his little girl fondling hands.

WAIT!! I found a picture of Biden at age 70 chopping wood in the mountains!
