Commenting on Joe Biden's speech at the Democrat National Convention this week, Ann Coulter revealed some not-so-startling information about the Democrat's favorite lapsed-Catholic. Ann writes below in, "Joe Biden: Hair We Can Believe In":
Vice presidential candidate Joe Biden's speech at the Democratic National Convention was great. As I write, he hasn't given it yet, but these are my favorite parts:
"General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
"These Republican leaders have not been content with attacks on me, or my wife, or on my sons. No, not content with that, they now include my little dog, Fala. Well, of course, I don't resent attacks, and my family doesn't resent attacks, but Fala does resent them. You know, Fala is Scotch, and ... his Scotch soul was furious. He has not been the same dog since."
Everyone acts as though Biden's outrageous plagiarism of British Labor Leader Neil Kinnock's speech during the 1988 presidential campaign was just a mistake, a slip of the tongue. Biden, his defenders say, had credited Kinnock in other speeches, but simply forgot to add the attribution one time.
First, Biden had failed to mention Kinnock more than once. Second, it was not just a matter of adding an attribution. On the occasions when Biden failed to credit Kinnock, he also had to alter Kinnock's speech to act as if he were describing the Biden family.
Just when you think Joe Biden's disturbing record cannot possibly get any worse... it does! Hit the link above to continue reading Ann Coulter's latest column at Human Events. She has all the information you will ever want to know about Joe Biden's plagiarism of British Labor Leader Neil Kinnock speech in 1988. Lest we forget.
Frankly, I am still amazed at the absolute disconnect of Obama choosing Joe Biden over Hillary Clinton as his running-mate. Every credible report from the Democrat National Convention described a great many Hillary supporters, both men and women, who were infuriated that Obama picked the most unqualified old white guy over Hillary Clinton; the most qualified Democrat candidate running for President in 2008. And to top it all off, the blubbering fool Obama chose is an unrepentant plagiarist! Not to be confused with Obama's pal Bill Ayers, who is an unrepentant terrorist that blew-up three people as a peace-loving hippie while bombing government buildings.
Before I digress too far into others Obama has chosen to associate with, which now includes plagiarist Joe Biden, this excerpt from Ann's column really caught my attention:
The whole point of Kinnock's speech was to denounce the English class structure, where his grandfather couldn't get ahead, despite his talents. Thus, Kinnock concluded by saying his parents and grandparents couldn't advance "because there was no platform upon which they could stand."
That has never been true in this country. We have no class structure. People do get ahead by being smart and working hard.
The Democrat fantasy of American class warfare is as old and tired as their liberal ideology. Ann could not have been more accurate and clear in stating how the American People achieve success. Truly a foreign concept to liberals. Frankly, it has the effect on me of pity for their sad and lazy lack of values. Governor Sarah Palin stands in stark contrast to the record of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, not only on this concept but nearly all others.
The Democrats offer you dishonesty and failure, not only in Washington, D.C. but in your own lives. The party of slavery that Abraham Lincoln waged a Civil War against still enslaves Citizens to this very day with their ideology of liberalism and poverty. Almost 88 years exactly after women gained the right to vote, the Republican Party choses a woman for the Vice-Presidency and the Democrats pick a party-line plagiarist.
