Biden Slanders a Dead Man, Family Grieves

While the national media is busy creating scandal out of the fact that Sarah Palin went to numerous non-Ivy League schools (yes, seriously), the Delaware News Journal has a devastating and disturbing piece on how Joe Biden has repeatedly slandered the man involved in the car crash that killed Biden’s first wife and daughter.

In several public statements over the years, Biden has insinuated that the man who caused the 1972 crash was drunk. The man cannot defend himself. He passed away in 1999. His family grieves.

But hey, who cares about Biden’s lies? Time to slander Gov. Palin and her family some more!

Here’s the intro of the N-J piece, but make sure to read to the end. And check out the comments from people who know Joe Biden best:

Since his vice presidential nomination, Joe Biden’s 2007 statement that a “guy who allegedly … drank his lunch” and drove the truck that struck and killed his first wife and daughter has gained national media traction.

Alcohol didn’t play a role in the 1972 crash, investigators found. But as recently as last week, the syndicated TV show Inside Edition aired a clip from 2001 of Biden describing the accident to an audience at the University of Delaware and saying the truck driver “stopped to drink instead of drive.”

The senator’s statements don’t jibe with news and law enforcement reports from the time, which cleared driver Curtis C. Dunn, who died in 1999, of wrongdoing.

Its just like Slow Joe to trash a dead man who can't defend himself, for political gain and the MSM are his unquestioning accomplices in the travesty.

[Enchante]

Sure sounds like Biden just made up what suited his “narrative” and innocent man be damned.

[Texas4ever]

Yah, but you see the story is better if he was drunk.
So, what’s a little lie, if it makes for a better story.(sarc)

Give us that grin Joe!!!

[flyfree]

Biden is no Palin and Obama is no McCain

[goldstategop]

The Left are not our moral and intellectual equals. They are deranged and devoid of a decent core. Too bad McCain doesn't realize this fact. There is no "decent" Left.

Typical Democrat. A liar. If he slandered my dead father like this, I’d find some way to do something about it.

[Wiseghy]

This is lowest kind of smear.

Obviously, he said this to curry more sympathy. It should be well documented how this is completely untrue.

I’m certain our on the ball MSM will investigate and report on this immediately!!! /s.

[Doctor Raoul]

I don’t think I could bring myself to tell a lie about how my wife and kids died knowing that they’d be in Heaven knowing that not only was I lying, but that I bore false witness against the truck driver.

Does he think he can challenge God and win?

[Doctor Raoul]

If he slandered my dead father like this, I’d find some way to do something about it.

His wife and kids know the truth. Someday that will be punishment enough.

[Charlespg]

I truly belive that some of these people have no souls

[skimask]

"Does he think he can challenge God and win?"

Yes he does but you and I know better. He will pay dearly.

[Republican Wildcat]

These people like Biden and Obama literally just make everything up as they go along. It’s outrageous.

[Redbob]

What more could you expect of the guy who claimed (see the Youtube vid) to have graduated “in the top half” of his class?

When it was actually 76 out of 82...

[river rat]

No news here — Biden would lie even when the truth would serve his purpose...

He’s a pathological liar... Get used to the fact.

[Redbob]

"The Left are not our moral and intellectual equals. They are deranged and devoid of a decent core. Too bad McCain doesn't realize this fact. There is no "decent" Left."

Exactly!

And based on his speech tonight, I'm afraid John McLame still doesn't realize this.
He thinks the likes of Tuh-TEDDY Kennedy and Russ Feingold are his friends....

I've been pushing this story around hoping someone would pick it up. But, no, I didn't send it to Michelle (slaps head).

This quote from the article really, really bothers me:

Biden spokesman David Wade said Wednesday that the senator “fully accepts the Dunn family’s word that these rumors were false.”

I'm sorry. But I have to cuss now so those of you with tender eyes please skip down a few lines.

Joe Biden is truly a piece of shit.

How dare he continue to lay the blame on this man's poor family instead of coming out and admitting that he has lied for 45 years. That the truck driver was not drunk and alcohol played no part in the accident.

His family was going to interview with Inside Edition, to explain that Biden has been lying all these years. That their father was devastated that he killed Neilia and her daughter. But they called it off at the last minute. And do you know why? Because Delaware loves Biden and they felt they couldn't deal with the fallout for calling him out.

Joe Biden, you don't deserve to live in the same state as the Dunn family let alone represent them.

Mark.

I will also compliment Michelle for being a, Barracuda” herself.

I saw video reports of the DNC protesters shouting, crowding, and hurling insults and threats at her. When the camera finally found her in the middle of the mod towering over her, she was saucily chomping her gum and calmly videotaping the riff raff-—not in the least perturbed by the apparent danger. Class!
