Biden on homophobia: 'I've had it up to here with cultural norms'
Los Angeles Times ^ | March 26, 2014 | Robin Abcarian

Vice President Joe Biden has never lacked for passion. And his occasional failure to restrain his enthusiasm has sometimes gotten him in trouble. But his over-the-top rhetoric was right on point when he gave the keynote address Saturday evening at the Human Rights Campaign’s gala in downtown Los Angeles.

Biden told a story I had never heard, about the first time he saw two men kissing (at minute 14 of the video above). He was in junior high, and his father was driving him to apply for a lifeguard job.

“We stopped at a red light and I looked over to my left and there were two men kissing goodby. And it was the first time I’d seen that. And my father looked at me and said, ‘They love each other.’ That’s the end. That’s the end.”

Pretty progressive for the mid-1950s.

If Joe Biden is so angry about cultural norms, in the area of homosexuality, how does he explain that he voted FOR the Defense of Marriage Act??????

This one takes the cake. In the mid-50s, the Biden family had been in Delaware for two years. Neither Wilmington nor Scranton PA would have been the scene for two males kissing in public.

It’s like something out of Das Kapital. He’s had it up to here with cultural norms? Oh, well then screw the pledge, screw the flag, screw civil discourse, screw everything. He complains about other countries not having ‘civil societies’. This braindead moron fails to realize that civil society is itself a cultural norm.

Jamaica should demand a full apology from the clown. How can he just go on a stage, insult a country that is by no means an enemy of ours, and be allowed to get away with it? Notice ZERO mention of Arab countries.

Biden, what is barbaric is the acceptance of carnal acts against nature. You know, since it was a trope of barbaric, archaic societies like Sodom & Gomorrah, Canaan, Sparta. We evolved and realized that killing our kids, and having sex with camels was ill-advised. Now the libs are pulling the entire globe back into the filthy bathwater of 2000 years ago!

Female genital mutilation? How about female full body mutilation in the womb? Can’t mention that, can you, plugs? This uncharitable, vacuous, stain on the country, along with his leech wife can go to hell.

At least you got rid of one cultural norm, Joe. It used to be normal to select at least competent people for the position of VP. That tradition is as good as dead.

Biden lies. First off, no two men would kiss on a public street in the 1950s. Second, the father would NOT have said that. Joey is lying just like he did in college when he plagiarized. Just more of the same bull he always pedals.

>>Biden told about the first time he saw two men kissing . He was in junior high, and his father was driving him to apply for a lifeguard job.<<

Old Joe is off his meds again. Was this the same job he claimed he got in Scranton, PA when he was living in Wilmington, DE? And who would hire a 12-14 year old as a lifeguard?

The bishops of Wilmington are selected by the RINO aristocracy. They taught today’s Communists how to purge Conservatives.

Joe Biden wouldn’t know a cultural norm if it walked up to him and shoved a rubber fist up his @ss.

Maybe he’s getting his lies mixed up. I heard that his dad went out on the balcony, put up that double barreled shotgun and let off 2 blasts. He didn’t need an AR15.
