Biden's Wife was NOT killed by a drunk driver.

[3jsmommy]

No kidding- lying about your wife getting killed by a drunk driver.... I think dying in a tragic accident is bad enough.... why "pad" it???

How do you know he was "padding"?
I am sure if he has said it, he really does believe it's true his whole family & all of his acquaintances heard him say it, do you think he gave them a wink when no one was looking?
Losing his wife, daughter & almost losing both his sons could have made him angry enough to believe a lot of things about the guy driving the truck!
Who are you all or the author of some random article to say different?
But it's rude to mention the big pink (underage pregnant) elephant in the McCain camp how?

Actually the article is from the Delaware News Journal. She merely posted it on her web site with an intro commentary.

The fact that it was posted by Malkin is enough for me. She's militantly anti-immigrant despite the fact that her (Filipino) parents are both immigrants. She'd deport them if she found out that an I wasn't dotted or a T wasn't crossed on their naturalization papers. Nasty lady.

The facts are in dispute. None of us were there. The woman and her child died in the accident. I think this post is disgraceful.

Was there EVIDENCE that the other driver had been drinking?? If NOT WHY THINK IT WAS TRUE??? Because that's easier than thinking someone changed the radio station and wasn't paying attention????? Accidents happen. Sorry- if there was no evidence the guy had been drinking than SOMEONE is making something up aka lying.

It was/is a tragic thing... doesn't get much worse than losing half your family like that.... But if that were MY Dad and someone was lying about him like that- I would be po'd.

God forbid we actually decide this election on issues. I could give a big crap about whether the guy who killed Biden's wife and daughter was drunk. I could also care less about Palin's brood.

I do care about healthcare, the economy, the Taliban and moving this country forward out of the rut we are in and will cast my vote accordingly.

And someone's father is now dead and she feels he's being slandered.... I agree, something is disgraceful alright.

 

[DISUNC]

Thats old news from2 weeks ago
It was said that she probably didn't look at an intersection ....

So are we only to disuss lies told "Just Today" by political Candidates?

BTW, This is the first time I am reading about it.

DawnCt1 this post is an all time low. This is old news and has nothing to do with the campaign. You argue that we should play hands off with Palin's lack of parenting and yet the last paragraph of your post tries to assign blame to a dead woman. There are no words to describe this smear.

I believe the Smear is being done by Biden. Accusing someone of Drunk Driving, when they weren't is the same as accusing someone as a racists, , someone as a theif, or someone as a Secret Muslim...etc etc.
Besides Biden even apologised for his remarks in 2001, and yet again brings up the lies now.

Did and BEFORE you admonished me to do so.

If Senator Biden thought/thinks the man was drunk his opinion is his own. He lost his wife and his daughter. Both of his sons were horribly injured. He has a right to feel what he feels.

Yes he has the right to feel what he feels, but he dont have the right to out & out lie about the man driving the truck. And to do so very publically is morally corrupt & indefensible.

The report was written by Michelle Malkin. Holy cow, what a psycho nutjob. I didn't waste my time reading the rest.

Another example of a Obama Supporter willing to kill the messenger & not the message. If Walter Cronkite came out of retirement to report this story, your response would be the same.

I even liked Joe Biden, up till now.

I thought the driver had been drinking at lunch but was not drunk. That was the story I always heard.

How can you accuse her of not paying attention and changing the radio station? Once again the facts are in dispute but have nothing to do with this campaign. I am still amazed that you guys think that it is OK to attack a dead woman.

 

[Laura]

Maybe that's what the cops thought back in '72 and told Biden. Who knows? Who cares?

I said SOMEONE... could be EITHER driver. I'm not attacking a dead woman or a dead MAN-who was driving the other vehicle- But he doesn't matter??? Biden insinuates that he was DRUNK and killed half his family but that's OKAY??? Who's attacking who???

 

[asta]

I wouldn't want to let facts get in the way but when you go after someone at least get it right. The quote from Sen Biden was that his wife was killed by a truck driver that chose to drink his lunch. He did not say drunk driver. The people reporting the story made that leap. I have not seen anyone question whether this was true. He may not have been legally drunk but I think it is a valid emotion to be bothered by any amount of drinking by someone involved in an accident that kills members of your family. The poster criticising Sen Biden made an entirely baseless statement about the dead woman's behavior.

This was a tragic accident and the smear is being made by those attacking Sen Biden. You should be ashamed.

Alright, fair and balanced, folks. Y'all run over and give the poster a good talkin' to who started the thread claiming the father of Bristol's baby is a black man.

Are you sure that poster isn't a buddy of bush and Karl "The Snake" Rove who smeared McCain in 2000 for fathering a black baby?

I'm not familiar with the poster or who her buddies are. Here's the link and you can judge for yourself. Unless of course your post was just an attempt to justify such a thread.

And McCain stated she sold it on ebay for a profit.
Heck maybe he meant it was sold prophet and not profit.......now it all makes sense.

~ If Senator Biden said that his wife and daughter were killed by someone who "drank his lunch", and the man was not drunk, then it is a slanderous or libelous statement because most people interpret the phrase "drank his lunch" to mean he was drunk. So let's not argue semantics. We all iunderstand the implication.
~ Yes, Senator Biden certainly has every right to feel however he feels with regard to the gentleman who was involved in a fatal accident with 2 members of his family, but he doesn't have the right to slander/libel the man, if, in fact, he did, by implying that the man was drunk if he was not.
~ If Senator Biden said that and it is untrue, then I do not blame the man's family for being upset and distressed. If someone was besmirching my late father's name, I'd be angry too.
~ I also do not blame Senator Biden for being upset and distressed and devastated...and all those other descriptives...at the loss of his wife and daughter.
~It is not "picking on" Senator Biden, his family or his late wife if the truth of the accident was that his wife wasn't paying attention. It's the facts of the accident. Doesn't make it any less tragic, and I am quite sure if her inattention did cause or contribute to the accident that she certainly didn't do it on purpose.
~ It is a tragedy all around, for both families. For Senator Biden because he lost his wife and daughter and had seriously injured sons and all the things attendant with that. For the other man because he had to live with the fact that he was involved in an accident where there were fatalities. For the other man's family whose loved one's name is now being dragged through the mud if Senator Biden's statement is untrue.
~ If Senator Biden has brought this up or made these statements recently as a part of this election, then he cannot expect that there won't be commentary on it. If he did not bring it up as part of this election, then I find it in poor taste to comment on statements he may have made in the distant past...more in the immediate aftermath of the event...as being part of an electoral issue now.

I agree!
Heck just now on the news they showed Palins sista !

You are the one who brought this up. You started the post. This has nothing to do with the current campaign. The woman is dead and can't defend herself against your attacks. You must be proud that you were able to deliver such a clever attack on a dead woman. Your post is still an all time low.

I am not attacking the woman. I feel nothing but sympathy for her. She didn't accuse anyone of drunk driving, Biden did. Don't you have any feeling for the truck driver's family, who already feel burdened by the incident, to have their father accused of a DUI, when a judge said clearly that wasn't the case?
