Bill O’Reilly has reached a conclusion that has probably occurred to many people recently, namely that although Joe Biden always represented himself as a moderate regular guy with blue-collar sensibilities from Scranton, he “fooled a lot of folks, including me.” For, O’Reilly observes, Biden has recently been full of praise for extremists, saying that he agrees with everything Rep. Maxine Waters says, which includes, after the George Floyd killing, justifying violence and praising “one of the biggest haters on television,” Joy Behar.
Although I certainly understand O’Reilly’s reasoning, I must disagree. My view is that the situation is far worse than he envisages. O’Reilly’s mistake is that he is attempting to understand Joe Biden as if he is a normal person pretty much like the rest of us. The reasoning goes like this: If an ordinary person like the rest of us were to do a sudden political about-face like Biden has done, it would probably be because he had been fooling people all along and is finally showing his true face.
This is, however, a mistake. One must never forget that most politicians are not like ordinary people. Most of us are such that if we told a big public lie, for example, that we had finished in the top half our law school class when we had actually finished in bottom 11% of the class, or that we had been arrested protesting for civil rights with Nelson Mandela when we had not, or that Mitt Romney had not paid any taxes for the past decade when we knew he paid taxes, or that one’s political opponent had colluded with Russia in order to steal the 2016 presidential election when we knew that is false, or say under oath that the southern border is secure...

He was always far left. It’s just that left didn’t go quite as far left then as it does now.
He had the most left-wing voting record in the Senate.
**He is a man of no principles,**
Except for himself. He has been principly all about himself.
Nope; he was always far left. Why would he “choose” anything on the right?
Huh? Biden never did any political about-face. Biden was always about this.
Correct. Even before his two aneurysms, he was far left.
It’s a helluva admission by O’Reilly - to publicly state you were fooled by Biden. Wow, I can’t imagine a more embarrassing self-revelation. O’Reilly is a professional dupe.
Bill O’Reilly is wrong. Biden was far left.
Bill O’Reilly is an idiot. Was on top of the world and caused the downfall of his own show. Then he makes the moronic statement that he thought the senile Sleepy Joe puppet Manchurian Candidate was a “moderate.” ROFLMAO! Why are there so many dipshits in the Republican Party? It’s no wonder that the nutcase Democrats/RINOs so easily stole the 2020 Election right in front of the Republican Party. The Republicans need new and better leaders who are not totally blind to what is clearly going on all around them. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to deteriorate before our very eyes ...........
I recall when Biden was first elected to the Senate. He was known from the outset as one of the most liberal of the new senators. Nothing has changed. These people don’t know history very well.
Biden has always been far left. There is nothing moderate about him. He has always been mean and vicious too.
Yep. Birds of a feather and all that. He didn’t join them, they joined him. He now has lots of deranged, hateful, lying goodbuddies to hang with.
The writer is basically right. Joe didn’t have any deep convictions. Joe was what he had to be to get elected. Biden learned how to follow the party leaders when he was in the Senate. Now he follows the staffers who tell him what to do. It’s all part of the fight against the other side, so he doesn’t have to think about whether it’s right or wrong or whether he ought to do it.
Russiagate, though, was an article of faith. People who could see that there wasn’t any evidence deeply believed that they had to do. They were convinced that if they dug long enough they would find something, and convinced that they deserved to find something. Were they lying? I suppose so, but as Seinfeld said, is it a lie if you believe it?
Also, Joe’s picking Harris was what most candidates do. Nobody is thinking about who would make the best president. They are all thinking about who can help them to win. Biden also painted himself into a corner with his promises, but he wasn’t so different from other candidates.
One of my college profs asked “What do you call someone who tells the truth 90 percent of the time ...? A LIAR! And DON’T do business with him!”
That’s still true and I thought of that while reading about Biden.
Biden went far left because the democrat party is the only one that is above the law Hunter winks.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
There are five words that fit lifetime politicians; grifters, cheaters, Narcissists, Liars, and Psychopaths.
Biden doesn’t have a clue what the hell is going on around him he is NOT making the decisions this is OBAMA, BANK ON IT!!! Obama is as America hating leftist as they come!!!
Good summary.
