The fact that former Vice President Joe Biden, now on his third try for the presidency, remains the last "moderate" standing says more about his now-vanquished rivals than about Biden. The same media that post running tabs on President Donald Trump's "lies" ignore, downplay or otherwise dismiss Biden's gaffes, memory lapses and frequent incoherence.
He's Uncle Joe, the regular guy from Scranton, Pennsylvania, who understands the common man. So what if he says, without proof, that he worked to "desegregate restaurants and movie houses of Wilmington, Delaware"? So what if he says since 2007, "150 million people" -- almost half of the U.S. population -- "have been killed" due to gun violence?
So what if he boasts about his "arrest" in South Africa for supposedly attempting to visit Nelson Mandela, an effort Mandela allegedly later thanked Biden for attempting? Never mind that none of it is true -- not the arrest, not the attempted visit and not the thank you from Mandela. According to the Daily Beast: "Biden finally admitted that the story was much different than he'd initially described, saying he told police while on a congressional delegation to South Africa that he was 'not going to go in that door that says white only' and separate from his black colleagues." And so what if Biden, who voted for the Iraq War resolution and publicly accused Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein of possessing weapons of mass destruction, now claims he "didn't believe (Saddam Hussein) had those weapons of mass destruction"?
More disturbingly, Biden lied on at least two occasions about a man named Curtis C. Dunn. Dunn was the tractor-trailer driver who, in 1972, tragically struck and killed Biden's wife and his infant daughter. Along with many other news outlets, the Huffington Post, in 2008, described the accident this way: "Delaware's Senator-elect would face a more difficult challenge soon after his election, when a drunk driver struck the car carrying his family, killing his wife Neilia and daughter Naomi and severely wounding sons Hunter and Beau."
Based on Joe Biden's account, the Huffington Post got it right. Dunn was driving drunk. After all, in a 2001 speech at the University of Delaware, Biden said, "An errant driver who stopped to drink instead of drive and hit -- a tractor-trailer -- hit my children and my wife and killed them." But the then-Delaware prosecutor, now a judge, who investigated the accident says, "The rumor about alcohol being involved by either party, especially the truck driver (Dunn), is incorrect." Furthermore, the tractor-trailer driver had the right of way, and Dunn immediately got out of his truck and tried to render assistance. He was no drunk driver.
Disturbed by Biden's drunk-driver version of the accident, Pamela Hamill, Dunn's daughter, wrote to Biden. The Newark Post wrote:
"In 2001, (Hamill) wrote a heartfelt letter to Biden expressing her father's profound grief after hearing Biden make a post Sept. 11 speech in which he told the audience that, given his history, he could empathize with victims.
"'Growing up, my dad never talked about it. He always got very solemn around Christmastime because the anniversary was Dec. 18, and he never wanted to celebrate the holidays,' Hamill said. 'When newspapers had anniversary articles (about the crash), we hid them from dad.'
"Biden responded in a handwritten note, which, in part, reads, 'All that I can say is I am sorry for all of us and please know that neither I or my sons feel any animosity whatsoever.'"
Biden, it appears, got the message. Both families suffered a terrible tragedy. Why add to the pain by falsely portraying the remorseful Curtis Dunn as a drunk driver?
But a few years later, Biden did it again.
In a 2007 speech at the University of Iowa, Biden said: "Let me tell you a little story. I got elected when I was 29, and I got elected November the 7th. And on Dec. 18 of that year, my wife and three kids were Christmas shopping for a Christmas tree. A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly -- and I never pursued it -- drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family and killed my wife instantly, and killed my daughter instantly, and hospitalized my two sons, with what were thought to be at the time permanent, fundamental injuries."
In 2008, Hamill demanded that Biden make a public apology. Hearing nothing from Biden, she sent him a registered letter. The next year, after an accurate CBS television report on the accident, Hamill said she received a phone call from Biden. Hamill told Politico: "He apologized for hurting my family in any way. So we accepted that -- and kind of end of story from there."
Joe's calling card is decency, an affable man without a malicious bone in his body. Yet he allowed Dunn, who died in 1999, to go to his grave having been falsely shamed by Biden as a drunk driver responsible for the death of Biden's wife and newborn daughter. What "decent" man does that?
they ain’t lies if he believes them.
Biden's Gettysdog Burger You Know the Thing the Lady Address
At this point his lies are an angry response. As a matter of fact, they aren’t even lies, they are delusional fantasies.
Criticize him or corner him and they fly:
Reporter or critic. Mr. Biden, shouldn’t you tamp down the politics while this virus is raging?
Biden: DON’T LECTURE ME ABOUT THIS VIRUS!!! Back in the day when I was working on the flu vaccine in med-school, I was busy being lectured to by people that I wasn’t working fast enough. I got my team together and we rammed it home. That’s why I got the novel prize.
Reporter or critic: Open borders, really, now?
Biden: Don’t you lecture me pal. Nobody knows the impact of the working man more then me!! When I was working the mines back in Scranton, shortly before I took my construction job, right before I worked the GM plant, I knew what it meant to fear being replaced by low cost labor. Ur I got through it. So SHUT YOUR CAT FACED PIE HOLE OR WE WILL STEOP OUTSIDE AND SETTLE THIS LIKE WE USED TO IN THE FACTORY!! GOT IT!!
If what Joe-boy says isn’t the truth, but due to his mental deterioration believes it to be true, is it still a lie?
His wife should pull the plug on him and this fiasco election romp. If she loved him she would put a stop to this and give him what little dignity he has left — instead of giving in to his interminable insane rambling and corruption. Just say NO TO JOE! Go home Joe. Your wife needs you to have some dignity left.
I believe that it is his wife who is really running!
I think it’s his wife behind this effort. I don’t think he’s running for President as much as she’s running for First Lady. She’s definitely the ambitious one, IMHO.
Yeah....what you said!
“...He’s Uncle Joe, the regular guy ...
Stalin was “Uncle Joe” too.
Biden is a nasty POS and always has been.
Joe Biden, "decent"! That is insane. I have known Biden was corrupt and nasty since 1984.
These people have no shame. They also have no common sense. The issues they support and the causes they promote demonstrate that Biden is totally in line with their thinking. They just don't care.
As long as he defends the murder of unborn children; as long as he elevates faggot perversion; as long as he destroys our borders; as long as he performs the above, they continue to vote RAT.
When my MIL got Dementia/Alzheimer’s she told fabulous tales. There was a rabbit who was a doctor and he took care of all the other animals, especially the turtle. She told us her house was sinking.
When we finally got her in assisted living she told us how they killed people at night after taking all their money and dumped their bodies through a hole in the floor.
Joe acts just like she did with the anger and the fantastic tales.
Biden was a kid when his used car salesman father got run out of town.
In Delaware Biden went to an expensive private school and his father continued to fill in the stereotypical used car salesman role.
Nothing worse than a liar with a bad memory...except in politics. It’s expected.
Has Joe remembered his name yet? It’ll come back to him eventually..
Exactly! Notice how she sticks very close to "guide" him and move him along when it becomes obvious his senility is beginning to show. She would be very much like Woodrow Wilson's wife after his stroke - President Regent.
They intend to make Biden a stealth candidate and drag him across the finish line.
HAS BIDEN BEEN RED-FLAGGED YET?
According to gun-grabbers, Biden is very dangerous. He owns a 10 gauge shotgun, and was caught on film demonstrating how to shoot it.
There is politics but their is decency too and you’re telling me she isn’t very decent. You might be right.
