     This is just terrible in so many ways, a tragedy that need not have happened. Then, so many years after the fact to print or otherwise report things so inaccurately makes it that much more devastating.

     And, yet, people will still think the claims of journalistic bias or ineptitude are false, imagined or made up. Amazing! Utterly amazing!

     moonshot,

     I’m sorry for your loss. Sometimes we have to set aside the politics. I respect your position.

     Joe Biden might find some healing and peace if he were to reconcile with Mr. Dunn’s family.

     I imagine that could work with honest people. But Senator Biden is indeed a professional victim perpetually upset about something, morally outraged 24/7 and “mad as hell and isn’t going to take it anymore”.

     A man’s family is killed in a car crash. The grieving widower blames the other driver then apologizes. If this is the worst of Joe Biden, the man’s a saint.

     Morning lgm, being a jerk again I see. Yes Biden apologized although he knows he was lying and lies about the apology as ‘a rumor’; a rumor he started and knew it was a lie when he started it.

     And that lgm has nothing to do with Karl Rove, Haiburton or the color of the White House table linen. News blip for you teacher man: Everybody suffers tragedy-everybody. For most people you will be little aware of it-they deal with it like adults. They get on with their lives.They may well suffer life long grief-they don’t glory in it as the Kennedys and Biden do.

     And this is hardly the “worst of Joe Biden”. If the man is a Saint I’ll leave to God, but Biden is a cynical, lying jerk-it is hard to have sympathy for the man although I am obligated to do so.

     Losing your child is a nightmare that I cannot even stand to think about let alone have happen. To lose your child and your wife at the same time would probably set me over the edge and someone would find me wandering the streets, babbling incoherently. The grief and horror of such an event is not something anyone should ever have to go through.

     However, that being said, that does not give ANYONE the right to lie about the person involved, especially to further your own ambitions.

     No, Biden should not be given a pass on this matter. If anything, it is nothing but another prime example of Biden’s character. Even in the death of his wife and child, he cannot find it in himself to tell the truth, to be honest.

     Now, I am only speaking for myself, but I could not stand the thought of my child, up there somewhere, being ashamed at her father for telling a lie. I don’t do it now, have promised my childen that I would never do such a thing, and I sure as hell wouldn’t just because they are no longer around to hear it.

     It would be an insult to them and would dishonor their memory. A death like that is bad enough. No need to cheapen it.

     Maybe I am reading too much or maybe not enough into what Moonshot said. I don’t think he was agreeing with libeling Dunn but rather that he was agreeing that Biden may have some underlying issues with the death of his loved ones. (Right or wrong, however that may be.) Im going to lean to the side of that he is transferring his own situation onto Bidens, rather than deriding Dunn himself.

     Since I dont know and didnt ask the details of what happened, I have to take at face value that moonshot feels in his own personal situation that a wrong was committed, but at this point he is not making false inferences or accusations.

     You would be amazed at the number of people that falsely accuse medical staff for the deaths of their loved ones, even when those same loved ones are already terminal. And that is because they do not have anywhere else to focus their anger.

     Bringing up slanderous accusations for politcal gain is out of bounds, however in non-public venues it may show a non-acceptance of what happened.

     Thanks again, RabbidSquirrel.
     I said that I can’t bash him for my own personal reasons. I didn’t say that what happened with Biden shouldn’t be discussed. It’s a touchy subject for me.

     I can’t dispute that. I was merely trying to point out to supersean, and anyone one else who thinks the same way, that while we may condemn someone’s actions, as Christians we still pray for that person to find healing and peace. Love your enemy….

     *which isn’t the same thing as endorsing them or their actions, for anyone who still doesn’t get it*

     Are you guys interested in the issues of this election?

     Which party has a better record in the past 20 years of fiscal responsibility?
     Reagan? Bush, Jr.? Puhleeeze! The very first thing the Republicans did when Bush Jr. took office was to repeal “paygo”.

     Did Bush catch Bin Laden? Did he even chase him?

     No one here is bashing Biden for blaming the other driver. I believe my earlier post stated that I empathized with him. The issue is the fact that Biden is telling a blatant lie in regards to Dunn being high on alcohol. That is worthy of being called out. Also, saints do not lie (at all, I hope), to besmirch another person’s reputation for any reason, let alone for political gain.

     WTH does Reagan, Bush, Iraq or Bin-Laden have to do with Biden telling lies? Is this some more of your weak attempts at moral equivalence? Sorry, you failed miserably.

     No, Bush did not go after Bin-laden. The conflict in Afghanistan has been a ‘made for TV’ movie and no one has actually been harmed. Pat Tillman is really alive and living on an island with JFK and Elvis. You caught us.

     No intention to offend anyone here, but if Biden is having reality issues over his wife and daughter’s deaths from so many years ago, then I sure as hell do not want him to be a heart-beat away from the oval office! And the left is worried about Palin?!

     One man was tortured for years, then worked to reconcile with his enemies for the good of the people of both countries.

     Two other men live in the past. One wants to continue to rail about a terrible wrong that thousands of US soldiers died to correct from 1861 to 1865 and another rages about a sad and tragic accident that was heartbreaking for all involved.

     Only one of the men has his eyes forward, looking to a better tomorrow.

     The others are addicted to rage, helplessness, and self pity.

     Who do you want to follow? The bitter or the proud?

     I agree completely.

     Yet I think Biden has a plan here beyond just getting votes.
     His son, a survivor of the accident, is a LOBBYIST in DC.
     I think Biden is trying to keep future campaign questions away from himself and his lobbyist son by ‘reason of sympathy.’

     You’re a scumbag Biden, to lie about this for any reason and I only wish the other family would sue the crap out of you.

     Damn, the obama-biden ticket is corrupt and shallow beyond belief.

     Thanks again, RabbidSquirrel.

     No prob, take care. I’ve had to personally terminate life-support for a couple of family members and then go through the hospice process to the end. I would much rather do that than to ever have someone taken away from me without getting a chance to say good-bye. Its a good year this time… so far.

     No intention to offend anyone here, but if Biden is having reality issues over his wife and daughter’s deaths from so many years ago, then I sure as hell do not want him to be a heart-beat away from the oval office!

     No offense at all. Thats a great point about reality issues. And I can openly admit that I know nothing about Biden’s personal life, which is the only reason I can try to rationalize a known misrepresentation of something that happened 36 years ago.

     Biden was drunk when he said those lies, drunk when he called BO a Sambo, drunk when he… well you get the message. The bum is a drunk. He’ll need a few drinks before he debates Palin and makes an ass of himself - remember Bide saying, “Obama sure is clean for a black,” (paraphrased but otherwise accurate quote.)
