Joe Biden Makes History
American Spectator, by Paul Kengor

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 10/15/2012 6:14:31 AM

Joe Biden's antics against Paul Ryan have taken a few days to sink in, and should take longer still. For starters, try to imagine being Paul Ryan last Thursday: a young politician in the hot seat, the eyes of the world pressing upon him, as he tries to make careful and succinct statements in a most-intense environment, while all along, literally nearly every minute -- Biden interrupted Ryan 80-plus times -- his opponent smirks, scoffs, laughs uncontrollably, flaps his arms, and, generally, acts like a petulant child.

I can't wait for this toothy phoney to join the ranks of the unemployed in January.
I have detested him since about 1983. He is not a nice guy. He is a pacifist, big government liberal, who would backstab his own mother for poltical advantage. I admit he is extremely cunning, but otherwise dumb as a box of rocks.

Biden was net sent to dabate, discuss or defend, he was sent to silence the opposition... much like, in principle, the way Islam silences opposition.

Unbelievably, I JUST heard Donald Trump (a regular Monday contibutor to FOX) --on Fox today, essentially say he DID NOT think Biden was 'out of bounds'.....Trump said Biden was being Biden.-----------I was so disgusted with Trump's assessment, I turned the channel.----Obviously he either didn't watch the debate we all did.....OR he it totally comfortable with clownish behavior during a serious debate.....I have to wonder how Trump would feel if someone acted as childish & obnoxious around him!!!!!!

Yes #5, good point. Maybe Trump should apprentice Biden, then let's see how often he'd be allowed to interrupt.

What #5 said. I don't believe Donald Trump even watched the Debate. He seemed to be going on what other people had already said, except for the line about "both of them did a good job", which is ridiculous. I guess that means he would hire a laughing-hyena like biden to work for him? I doubt it. He should have just been honest about it. Instead, while promoting his new season on the NothingButCr*p network, he made a fool of himself by giving a critique of a debate he obviously knew nothing about.

Ratcheting Alinskyism. Ridiculing and dismissing the right not so much a tactic any more, a way of life for progs. Biden/Axelrod took it several clicks up but the stage was big. What looks like rabid histrionics to the masses is heartfelt passion to our betters.

Biden's task was to make Paul Ryan look too immature to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

What he accomplished was making himself look too immature to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

It's becoming more and more convincing that the Democrat party attracts a certain type of emotionally retarded people who have no principles, and instead are bullies full of rage and malice.

They use the fake out party line of being for the rights of the "little guy" as an excuse to hate on other people who won't get behind their twisted world view. A great example are the loony-toon actresses who are obsessed with abortion rights but wouldn't dream of eating an animal.

A good Catholic doesn't take pro-abortion positions, a good Catholic gives to charity instead d hoarding his fortune. My income is about 26 thousand and I give over $3,000 per year, that's many times what hhe gives.

I didn't watch the debate, I only listened to it. I thought Biden was making his points well, even though he lies a lot, but was being too brash, boorish and bullying. I believed he was going to lose the debate because of that.

I think his teeth look perfect. True, nobody has perfect teeth, and that makes them a little creepy. But there's nothing wrong with trying to keep a good set of teeth in your head. There are so many things more substantive to criticize about him that his teeth should not be an issue.

VP Biden's performance will be forever presented in high school & college speech classes as "How Not to Act in a Serious Debate."

No one can deny that Paul Ryan tried to address the serious issues affecting this country and the world in a thoughtful manner. Unfortunately, Biden chose to play the role of Bozo the Clown.

Ryan won the debate hands down. Can anybody remember the Obama Administration's views on anything from the debate?

I too saw Donald Trump on Fox and Friends dismissing the egregious behavior of Biden. I can only conclude that Trump has some sort of personal relationship with Biden as many seem to do.

FDR's VEEP, John Nance Garner, said somthing ling like,"being the VPOTUS is as worthless as the content of a spitoon."
The constitution describes only two things for the VEEP. 1. Take POTUS' place if he is removed from office by death, impeachment or resigns. There may be other reasons, but I can't think of any. The other he can take the seat a Senate Chairman and use his vote to break a tie vote in the senate. That is all... oh yea, I forgot... all act as POTUS' resident clown, jerk and hatchet man.

I'm more cynical, as my folks were in politics, so when I tell you I made a $10 bet with a friend that Biden would bring up his dead wife and daughter again, said friend was aghast.

Aghast that I would mention Biden politicizing the death of his wife and daughter, but even more shocked when he actually did it.

Remember, this is not new information and is a part of the Biden narrative. He brought it up because it is a tool he uses and he obviously felt the need to use as many tools as he could against Ryan.

Biden was that threatened.

It's clear that Biden's assignment from Axelrod was to make Ryan lose his temper.

It worked like a charm on millions of people watching on TV but didn't make a dent in Paul Ryan's composure.

Biden seemed to change into Old Sorrowful Joe after he realized he'd failed and the kid was still relaxed.

No Tourette's Syndrome. What he has always done and continues to do is deliberate. Some are so unsure of themselves all their lives that they grow up to be bullies. Some tell dirty jokes and act the buffoon to be liked.

I am not interested in his pathology. He is a heartbeat away from an already dreadful presidency. He is totally unfit for the office.

I used to watch him run Senate committee hearings. He did exactly the same thing. How anyone could call him a nice guy is beyond me. He wouldn't even be an amusing drinking buddy.

Biden staged on a 90 minute Bonzo on Bennies public psychotic episode, doing everything except climbing up on the debate table, dropping his drawers and mooning the audience.

Right now we are focused Biden's shameless buffoonery in the VP debate, but his place in the history books will be the despicable spectacle of the Vice President of the United States gleefully telling the President, "This is a big F**king deal!" live, coast-to-coast on television. Obama's grinning agreement was just as revealing.

I am amazed at the number of WOMEN who were offended by Biden's clownishness. I can't imagine how his idiotic performance did Obama any good at all. What they might have gained by energizing their base who would have voted for zero anyway, they must have lost many more votes among women, independents, moderates and Obama leaners.

Overall, a net loss for zero and a permanent picture in the nation's mind of the babbling fool that was a heartbeat from the presidency for four years.

Let the Vice President know his antics would have been appropriate in …… a barroom argument but not in a national debate! He made himself, the democrats and the government look like fools. One can be forceful without being rude, one can get his points across without hogging the platform. He look like the buffoon that people claim that he is. Any thinking person could see right through his demeanor and know what he was trying to bully Rep. Ryan but he came over as a bullying joker. And where did he get his facts? He was telling the nation that the Intelligence Community didn’t have the right facts and the State Department didn’t share their information with the White House. If that is true, then who is in charge? Is there a president in the house? And he did vote for the two "credit card wars". And why is the Catholic Church suing the government over Obamacare if there is no force abortion in it? Just who is the liar? Shame on him! He may have energize his beer drinking buddies, but he alienate the American people against himself and his party

Biden resembled Fire Marshall Bill from In Living Color.
They have the same rictus grin.
In the debate distressed Biden did something he does often.
He spoke about his parents in the present tense.

Biden " My friend recently in a speech in Washington
said "30 percent of the American people are takers."
These people are my mom and dad .."

Biden is 70 years old.
He has had two craniotomies for aneurysms.
Biden's parents have been dead for years and yet, he often speaks about them in public
as if they are not.
Articles are being increasingly written by physicians that his medical history
make Biden at an increased risk for stroke or
that his blatant lies and distortions
may indicate he is experiencing
mini strokes or TIAs - transient ischemic attacks .
Cheney's cardiac history was always a topic for the media.
While Biden's neurological history is always hidden.

Excellent points, #61. I caught his reference to his parents in the debate as well. I thought he was just trying to b.s. viewers into believing he wasn't that old, but it's also possible that he has trouble remembering his parents are dead. I don't understand at all why "Joe being Joe" isn't a reason for him to retire from public service, or at least serve in a position where our nation's fate doesn't hang in the balance.

#5, I too saw that, but amazingly it isn't Trump's first defense of Biden. He defended him last week on another show (perhaps it was Greta Van Susteren) and I was surprised then.

#40, I, too, expected Biden to bring up his late wife and daughter, to gain sympathy.

Biden also lied about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars--he did vote for them, but said he was there, and didn't. Mark Levin tells a story of how Biden humiliated a Reagan appointee to the State Department in a Senate confirmation hearing, then told the man not to be offended, it was just business.

Nothing he does surprises me, because he also was shown to be a plagiarist. He is a man of little character or integrity.

It's standard Communist Ops to wildly recklessly, openly, crudely discredit and DISMISSS non Communists. It was the case in 1950's Hollywood, when the Communists came dangerously close to controlling the movie industry. If you were IN, you got work, if you were not IN, you didn't get work. That'a why numorous hack writers joined the ACP: to get work, and take on a new sense of unearned importance. Communism's hold on Hollywood is as strong now as ever: no films on Communism EVER produced. Think about it. Silence reigns. Movie goers are not permitted to know the terrors of Stalinist Soviet Gulag enslavement, famine and mass murder. Easy to imagine that Biden is one of THEM.

I am always amazed — amazed — when anyone has the gall to dismiss, even laugh off, the suggestion that the right to keep and bear arms is a smart and necessary provision for a free society. Human history (not to mention current events!) is too chock-full of examples of nefarious regimes violently abusing and controlling their people, and the freedoms enjoyed by American citizens are the exception, not the rule. During a committee hearing of the Oregon state senate in considering their own state package of gun-control legislation last week, one testifier reminded the assembled lawmakers of one

A few years ago I interviewed a handyman to do some work on my house. I noticed a teardrop tattoo at the top of his left cheek. Prior to hiring him, I searched online for what this design signified. My mouth dropped when I found out. A teardrop tattoo can mean he murdered someone. So I hired someone else. Plastic surgeons and dermatologists are seeing more and more people who want their tattoos removed, often because they worry that the tattoos could cause problems with employment. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS),

Andrew Breitbart has become an iconic and beloved figure on the right, so it’s hard to imagine his eponymous empire could be in danger of losing conservative support just one year after his passing. But if recent events are a harbinger of things to come, that’s at least a possibility. It all started last October, when BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins penned a controversial piece, arguing the outlet was “plagued by an unusual degree of disorganization and rampant infighting…” The report might have been easily dismissed, had it not been soon revealed that Breitbart.com’s Dana Loesch was suing Breitbart.com

And now the last of them is gone. Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, and Pope John Paul II—three who won the Cold War and, it isn´t too much to say, saved the West (at least for a while!)—are no longer with us. Their examples remain. They knew what they believed but also knew they had to justify their beliefs, and that one could adjust prudently to circumstances without yielding on principle. They stood firm when in power, and they took risks to get there, challenging the conventional wisdom and the respective establishments of their nations or institutions.

The 16-year-old drew up detailed plans to massacre his classmates in Northamptonshire using handguns and home-made bombs. He created intricate classroom plans and a hit-list of fellow students and where they sat, and said he would carry on shooting until the police arrived, at which point he would take his own life. But after warning users on a forum that he would be armed and ready "20 minutes from now", one user called the FBI, who alerted police in England. On Monday the boy, who cannot be named because of his age,

Frustration is taking its toll in the liberals’ war against guns. President Obama, pushing his broad gun control agenda, said we should be ashamed if we’ve forgotten the Newtown shooting so soon. The New York Times opined that Obama is being shouted down by the “gun lobby,” even though he and Biden had been crisscrossing the country “…making a forceful case for a package of laws that would reduce gun violence.” That, of course, is the media narrative on gun control. For every issue there is a narrative: a set of assumptions and boundaries of thought

GOLFE-JUAN, France—Frank Samson has prepared for a long time to meet his Waterloo. The French lawyer impersonates Napoleon Bonaparte at re-enactment battles, but it is no idle hobby. Mr. Samson has found what he says are perfect replicas of the French general´s gray overcoat, he has studied Napoleon´s native Corsican tongue and he has had himself crowned emperor of France, in a cathedral yet. In 2015, he wants to lead thousands of military enthusiasts into the ultimate re-enactment: the 200th anniversary of the battle of Waterloo in Belgium. But an American rival stands in his way.

Is it time to give up the fight against Obamacare? That’s a question some conservative health-care experts, pundits, and — more quietly — politicians are asking. In the first years after its passage, opponents had hoped that the Supreme Court would strike down the law or that a new president would sign its repeal before most of it took effect. But the Supreme Court decided to modify a few of its provisions instead of striking it down, and President Obama was reelected. Repeal is almost certainly off the table for four years. Obamacare will continue to be implemented.

As the bipartisan Gang of Eight works to complete a comprehensive immigration reform bill, there has been a growing consensus among Senate Republicans that the bill — so far seen by no one outside the Gang — should be the subject of multiple hearings and extended consideration inside the Senate Judiciary Committee. But on Sunday there were signs that consensus does not extend to the Republicans inside the Gang. Appearing on CBS, longtime immigration reform advocate and Gang member Sen. John McCain suggested the immigration issue is so familiar to lawmakers that multiple hearings will not be necessary.

Illegal apprehensions are at 40-year lows,” Napolitano told reporters this week in Houston. But figures released Thursday by Customs and Border Protection to Fox News tell a different story.

The White House press corps should ask President Obama this question: You’ve told Iran’s leaders that if they come close to marrying a nuclear warhead with a missile that can hit the United States or our allies, they should expect a U.S. military attack on their soil. (Snip)Administration officials would never admit it, but the main reason for their being tougher on Iran than North Korea seems tied to American domestic politics as much or more than anything else, specifically the standing of Israel and oil versus Korea and Japan.

AS a Texas-raised journalist, I can tell you two things with confidence about my native state. One, its economy has been humming nicely for years. Two, this appears to greatly offend a certain breed of Northern writer, several of whom have descended on the state in an attempt to rebut stories of a “Texas miracle.” (Snip) “Texas has a long tradition of looking outside the government for support — and often finding it. That predates the Texas revolution and was reinforced by the rise of the cattle kingdom and the oil booms.”

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try

The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
