As for calling Democrats “socialist”, it’s simply a fear-mongering ploy. If you want a pure example of the largest socialist action in our nation’s history, look no further to G.W. Bush and his bailout idea. There is nothing this country has ever done that is closer to communism/socialism. Does that make Republicans socialist or communist? No. I would be a fool to think or state such a thing, just the same as anyone who makes the leap to referencing Democrats in similar fashion.

Unfortunately, you are so trigger happy to call Biden a liar that you are making yourselves into liars. You simply cannot call something a lie because you choose to infer something that wasn’t even said. Stating his helicopter was forced down was true. Even if in proximity to the words “we’re losing Afghanistan”, it does not inhearently imply that enemy forces caused the chopper to go down. You don’t have much of a case there. As I said before, there are plenty of valid criticisms available to you, why the need to fabricate invalid ones?

Biden stated durng his ramble on foreign policy today his helicopter was “forced down”. He implied by enemy action by following up with the statement, “we are losing Afghanistan”. It is clear he is misleading folks.

Its the same as his “drunk driver killed my first wife,” outright lie. Police records show she drove into the path of the oncoming truck, and there was no evidence the driver was drinking. This man really stoops low.

It is Biden’s socialist nature to mislead. Consider how current Iraq drawdown policy is “Barack’s” idea. Not true, Barack would have withdrew troops in defeat. Biden would have split the country into three giving several Iraqi provinces right to Al Qaeda. The only reason there is any possiblity of withdrawl is the surge provided respite of violence, and enough assurances amongst Iraqi’s to form up on “our side”. Just today Iraq’s Parliament voted to have provincial elections making it 16 out of 18 “benchmarks” met.

Actually, I think the whole point was to finger the border are as a hotzone for militant activity, and to identify it as the proper place to focus attention upon. You can make whatever jump you want to based on your perceptions. You are, after all, entitiled to believe whatever you want. Regardless, your beliefs do not change the fact that he never once stated anything misleading or not factual.

I find it too funny that folks like The Machine join the ignorance train by making the assumption that I am a “leftist troll”. Amusing that you think because I disagree with this b__s__t blog post, I must be a lefty. There are plenty of reasons to criticize the democratic ticket. Telling fables is not an effective example of such criticism.

This one must hit home, judging by the responses all over from leftist trolls, just as we see here.

Its a cut ‘n paste, BTW.

Matthew, the point of Biden telling the story in that manner is to make it seem as if the helicopter he was in was forced down by Islamic extremists, instead of by a snow storm. He told the same thing today during his press conference in exactly the same way. It has become a narrative for Joe. If you can’t see it, then you have truly drunk the Obama kool aid.

You would think that a person trying to come across as a credible blogger/journalist could a least do a spell check of his work. How hard is it to copy and paste a quote? You managed to mangle the spelling of one of the main points here. This, like many of your other posts, it written with the quality that might earn a 4th grader a C+ at best.

“You are clearly trying to ignore the context in which he used the story.”

No, I am clearly trying to avoid the pitfall of making assumptions of intent. You dove right in to that ignorance.

Additionally, you seem to cling to the idea that Biden and others were completely safe being on the ground near the Pakistan/Afghanistan border. One question: Would you feel comfortable being on the ground there? Do you truly wish to compare being there to walking around in Delaware? Since I have never been to either place, I am only speculating, but I think I would choose Delaware. I’m guessing that my likelihood of survival in Delaware would be at least marginally greater.
