Oh, That Joe! (No. 14 in a Series) - Biden Says Obama Won't Take His Beretta
abcnews.com ^ | September 20, 2008 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 09/20/2008 2:35:19 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Sen. Barack Obama better not mess with his running mate Joe Biden's guns...or else.

In an out-of-nowhere attempt to re-assure a southwestern Virginia labor crowd about gun owners' rights, Biden -- who regularly scores "F" ratings from the National Rifle Association -- warned Obama that if "he tries to fool with my Beretta, he’s got a problem."

I don’t think many will.

“Lefty rifle”

Yeah.

Did you notice the set trigger configuration. I have a set trigger on one of my rifles, and man it is sweet. Trips at about 1/2 lb, and improves my accuracy tremendously.

He is right.

Obama won’t take his.

But he will damn sure take yours.

Maybe we could buy that you’re a tough guy, Joe, if you didn’t look so much like Mr. Burns on the Simpsons.

I was born about 20 miles from Castlewood. There are few areas of the nation where guns are more ingrained into everyday life.

Joe was no doubt trying to fast talk his way into the good graces of the people of SW Virginia who saw right through him I'm sure.

Good people there. Salt of the earth.

Pathetic that Biden would try this [expletive]. He and his people are clueless.

I think Obama should take Biden’s guns away from him before he hurts himself. Biden clearly needs adult supervision.

Levin called Biden “the Ted Knight of politics” last week.
Hilarious...and sadly true.

He thinks that Obama is talking about his 1980 Camaro Beretta

I remember when Mike Dukakis, who was as near to Biden as makes no difference, tried to pretend he wasn’t a gun-banner. Billboards went up in Texas showing: “I don’t believe in people’s owning guns.” ~ Mike Dukakis.

Oh, that Beretta! I thought at first somebody was going to mess with his hairplugs and his Corvette.

I really don’t like McCain that much.

I do plan to vote against Obama primarily because of his radical views, including gun confiscation. I do like Palin though.

So I’ll cast my vote for McCain. Only because I really really like Palin and McCain/Palin are less likely to steal my guns.

And I’m not fooled for a second by Biden “I authored to AWB” recent BS

I’m thinking reversed image, if you look at the scope the windage turret is on the left side as well. I’ve never sen a scope with the windage turret on the left. Since this is from the hillary camp it was probably done by someone who doesn’t know much about guns and just flipped the image to fit with the text better

It’s becoming apparent that the MSM’s refusal to comment or criticize Democrats regardless of how absurd or outlandish they are may be helping the Republicans. Democrats have become careless and even reckless in their speech and even though the MSM won’t chime in, thinking people are listening and taking note. Biden only opens his mouth to embarrass himself or Obama, and his daily gaffes are piling up. No sooner does one idiotic statement cool down when he issues another; I can’t keep track. And just because Harry Smith and Charles Gibson are pretending not to notice, it doesn’t mean that the voters are.
