Who Doesn’t Love Slandering The Dead?
September 21st, 2008 at 10:31 am by BrianIt’s increasingly one of America’s most popular past times. So much so that major leftwing websites often have to close their comments sections when someone on the Right dies. Have we learned nothing?
Apparently not as these Arbiters of Good Taste have nominated a word-class necroslanderer who cynically and expediently lies about his own wife and child’s deaths to try and win over a few MADD mothers.
Who doesn’t drink their lunch once in a great while?
We give him credit for being half right, shouldn’t we? That would be the right thing to do wouldn’t it? Except if you happen to belong to the family of the person he’s exploiting:
“To see it coming from [Biden's] mouth, I just burst into tears,” Dunn’s daughter, Glasgow resident Pamela Hamill, 44, said Wednesday. “My dad was always there for us. Now we feel like we should be there for him because he’s not here to defend himself.”
In truth, there was no finding of alcohol being involved in this tragic incident. In fact, some investigators thought at the time that the accident was caused by Biden’s wife pulling out into the intersection not having seen Dunn’s truck bearing down upon her. It was simply a horrible accident with no blame saying Dunn was at fault, much less drunk.
You could say it was an honest mistake had Biden not acknowledged as much in a note to the family a few years ago:
After reading a News Journal account of Biden’s 2001 speech at UD, Hamill sent Biden a letter on behalf of her father. The newspaper story included Biden’s description of getting the call that his wife and daughter had died, but not his comments about Dunn.
Hamill said her note to the senator described how Dunn was affected by the accident.
Printed on the senator’s letter head and dated Oct. 11, 2001, the response from Biden reads:
“I apologize for taking so long to acknowledge your thoughtful and heartfelt note,” Biden wrote. “All that I can say is I am sorry for all of us and please know that neither I nor my sons feel any animosity whatsoever.”
What he meant to say is: “All that I can say is that I am sorry for me. Please know that I will run your father’s name through the mud whenever it gives me an opportunity to play the sympathy card even though my wife was likely responsible for the accident.”
We know how some people feel so strongly about this subject. Please refer all comments to Biden.Senate.Gov.
It took a lot of grueling investigation work to find that Senate website with a phone number on it. If anyone needs The Slanderer of Scranton’s e-mail address you can just contact me personally* .
I, however, will not let people slander my good friend Joe Biden who is constantly slandering Dunn and his family for cheap political points so I’m going to close the comments.
/Because I’m seasoned like that.
Well, maybe I’ll open the comments if some FReepers show up.

[...] This is pretty shocking stuff. Well actually I guess it isn’t. Honestly though, if it weren’t for Brian, I never would have known this. Leave it to the media to conveniently not report stuff like this. [...]

Ol’ “Plugs” couldn’t tell the straight truth if his life depended on it. Greasy Joe reminds me of the salesman in the early minutes of the first “Die Hard” movie. He convinces Hans (the mild mannered terrorist) he can broker a deal with McClain (Bruce Willis) by getting him on the phone. I vividly remember the smarmy salesman, in true Biden fashion calling Hans the terrorist “boobie”..Of course as soon as he get’s McClain on the phone, Hans promptly shoots him in the face.
Greasy Joe Biden is JUST like that guy, he’ll just keep flappin’ his gums and never see it coming.

Exploiting a tragedy for political gain is just frickin’ disgusting…
