Vice President President Joe Biden announced the passing of his son, Beau Biden, in a statement released by the White House.
"It is with broken hearts that Hallie, Hunter, Ashley, Jill and I announce the passing of our husband, brother and son, Beau, after he battled brain cancer with the same integrity, courage and strength he demonstrated every day of his life," reads the statement from Vice President Biden.
"The entire Biden family is saddened beyond words. We know that Beau’s spirit will live on in all of us—especially through his brave wife, Hallie, and two remarkable children, Natalie and Hunter.

At only 46 it is a real tragedy. My condolences to the family on their loss.
Let me see if I have this straight. Death is a tragedy, except when it is not?
Condolences. Major condolences.
Prayers up for the family
Prayers sent for the Joe and Mrs. Biden and family...
I second that remembrance. I miss MrConfettiman... :-(
I’m not at the point where the Westboro approach is for me. Doubt I ever will.
I resent the comparison to the Westboro freaks.
First of all, I am expressing my opinion, not picketing anybody’s funeral.
Second, the people whose funerals they picket are honorable soldiers. The baby-killers who will pollute a Catholic church by gathering for the upcoming funeral are not honorable people.
Third, the Westboro freaks say “God Hates Fags,” which is a lie. I said that the upcoming funeral will be populated by the brain-suctioning wing of the Catholic Church—which is the simple truth.
Thank you.
Honored, I remember a writer using the term “ brutal truth”, there is no such thing
just the truth

Cancer is a horrible disease. And brain cancer is especially horrible, as that is an organ that cannot simply be removed, because it is diseased.
You didn’t know Beau Biden to know whether he was a nice guy or not. My understanding is that he was a veteran who earned the bronze star so I think some respect is due. We need to judge people on their own merits rather than attack them for the political views of their parents.
Ok, so Joe Biden’s daughter dies giving birth to a child. Do I cheer?
You also said you’re not extending condolences due to the party’s political stance. It’s a debate we can have at another time. No reason to kick someone when they’re down, which is what your doing. I stand by the comparison in that vein.
As a matter of pure civility I agree with you
All encompassing politics makes us all poor
RIP, Beau.
A bronze star vet at that. As a former Marine I tip my hat for this gentleman and hero.
Gods speed
May God hold his widow and his children in the palm of His hand.
