Investor Daily Takes Apart Biden For His Lies In VP Debate
« VP Debate | Main | Black Friday »I thought Biden probably came off well with the public in the debated based upon his forceful performance. I also thought that most people couldn't tell he was making stuff up left and right. Investor's Daily takes Biden to task for his untruths.
In "The Prince of Darkness," his memoir of 50 years as a reporter in Washington, Robert Novak points out that while Jimmy Carter successfully ran for president by acting as "the anti-Washington, anti-government, anti-lawyer candidate telling audiences, 'I'll never lie to you' and setting post-Watergate standards of honesty," behind the smile Carter was actually "a habitual liar who modified the truth to suit his purposes."
But neither Carter nor Bill Clinton, whose twists and turns before a grand jury led to his impeachment, ever stared into the camera and spouted such a string of outright fabrications as if they were gospel truths the way Barack Obama's running mate did last week.
Ouch, that's going to leave a mark. The article goes on to catalog many of Biden's whoppers. I wonder if the main stream media is going to call Biden to task for his untruths? I am not going to hold my breath.
