Biden: Coal and Corn Syrup Are More Dangerous Than Terrorism

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: We've talked about the congressman, shared the piece with you from Michael O'Shea and the AmericanThinker.com. They're gutless. They don't have beliefs. They don't keep promises. They don't stick to things and so forth. We've discussed all aspects of their arrogance today; their conceit; their elitism; and they're nuts. There was an online forum with the Democrat presidential candidates moderated by Bill Maher. Senator Biden got this question from Bill Maher: "Senator Biden, forgetting about the upcoming Iowa caucus for just a moment, which would you honestly say is more likely to contribute to the death of your average American: a terrorist strike or high fructose corn syrup and air that has too much coal in it?"

BIDEN: Air that has too much coal in it, corn syrup next, then a terrorist attack. But that is not in any way to diminish the fact that a terrorist attack is real, but hundreds of thousands of people die and their lives are shortened because of coal plants, coal-fired plants, and because of corn syrup.

RUSH: Do you believe this? Hundreds of thousands of people die and their lives are shortened because of coal plants? I told you all about seeing this giant, giant cargo ship of coal on Long Island Sound heading in. It was so big they couldn't get it to shore, and had to have tenders come out and take the coal in. The coal was, by the way, not from America. Senator, you want to try firing these power plants with something else, you tell us what it is. This is just pandering of the first order.

I’d be more than a little suspicious of ANY man who felt it necessary to get hair transplants....

In most cases, the act would simply reveal a man who cares too much about appearance, rather that substance..

Many of the finest and most trustworthy men I’ve known are bald, nearly bald or balding....
In the age group of my close friends - 65/85 - that is common..
It doesn’t mean anything to them - because of who they ARE, not what they look like...

NOTE: In the interest of truth - I am nearly bald on top.
Caused, My sainted wife tells me, by excess testosterone levels..

[Islander2]

Here’s the “illogical” part:

Biden: Coal is most likely to contribute to the death of the average American.
Rush: Biden is nuts. I saw a big ship filled with coal from overseas.

The non-issue part is that it’s shoptalk between two libs.

Wrong. The “illogical” part is your lame attempt at meaningful conversation.

[ken21]

biden’s not coherent.

if he’s talking about high fructose corn syrup,

then i would agree.

i don’t eat that stuff because it is dangerous to one’s health.

[Octar]

They drilled a little too deep when they did this clown’s hair plugs. When you’re stupid like he is, it helps to know when to shut up.

[VeniVidiVici]

I have the absolute right to make the "wrong" choice of where I work or what I drink. I neither need nor want the government's "help" in making those decisions.

So keep in shape by exercising 30 minutes a day and help keep those terrorists at bay!

[BuckeyeForever]

You wrote: “No he’s not, because that wasn’t his real point. He was using a debatable connection between coal dust, corn syrup, and mortality as a justification for federal intervention in those areas.”
___________________________

Based on what? He was answering a question from Maher that simply compared the dangers of the three things, to put those dangers in context. But even if you were right about Biden’s “real point,” you would agree that his statement was literally true, wouldn’t you?

[rdl6989]

Plagiarist Biden isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[Quix]

Wellllllllllll,

Biden’t more dangerous than Eubola or bird flu . . . probably even more dangerous than Shrillery’s farts and breath.

[jiggyboy]

You should have your own TV show for fourth-graders.

[jiggyboy]

Here let me lend one you one of my flame-retardant suits. It protects you against flaming retards.

biden terrified of coal bump

[Cindy]

The funny thing is I wasn't looking for it, I was just rooting through old files and updating them randomly. While fiddling with this cantankerous mouse I must have hit it and didn't even know what I clicked. Next thing ya know, there it was.

[Cindy]

I understand what you mean...I get on the internet looking at stuff and find gems I wasn’t even looking for.

[piasa]

Biden overlooks the deadliest things of all : communism, socialism, and abortion.
