Eastern: "I haven't introduced legislation to target minorities (crack), I didn't fight against social justice (busing), I haven't used a family tragedy for career gain and I haven't smeared an innocent person for career gain. I'm not creepy with kids. I don't try to force people to buy junk to make my friends rich. (edit - I didn't cause hundreds of (or any) needless deaths by insisting a logistics exercise be done out of sequence by an arbitrary deadline solely to give myself a talking point.)
Legislation to target minorities(crack)? To attack Biden, you are co-opting a skewed liberal take on the crack epidemic, which I personally witnessed living in South Florida. It ran through neighborhoods like some medieval disease, laying waste to individuals and families, Black and White alike. If you think that White people were not perpetrators and victims of the crack epidemic, think again, because they definitely were. I knew some of them, personally.The gangs involved with selling literally took over the streets, committing a lot of murders. I remember seeing a Black girl at a bus stop one block from where I lived, standing behind the steel power pole(something that would stop bullets) instead of sitting on the bench. I can tell you that something had to be done, so Eastern can spare me his BS. Fight against busing? Well, busing was not all good, and Biden did not oppose all busing or social justice. He supported freedom of choice, that is busing for those who wanted to goto other schools. Forced busing mandated by the federal courts was so unpopular that even a majority of Black voters opposed it. I believe that your parroting that attack on Biden is just plain wrong. It is not factual, and it lacks perspective. I could go on about the rest. Three you say? Okay, here's a third. "I haven't smeared an innocent person for career gain." I was able to watch much of the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearing, so I saw what Biden said about Anita Hill and directly to Anita Hill. Biden did not smear Anita Hill, and that allegation is just a ridiculous lie. To the contrary, Biden was very sympathetic to her. I mean that he expressed personal empathy for her situation, which was a stark contrast to the hatchet jobs from certain Republicans. Biden was by far the most humanly caring person toward Anita Hill on that Committee. Was the male/female, he said/she said situation enough to stop an appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court? If yes, then every appointment could be stopped by one person with unsubstantiated personal allegations. Maybe Biden was right to proceed with the nomination or maybe he was wrong. But he did not smear Anita Hill. That is a lie, and you should stop telling it. Republicans on the Committee smeared her, and now Republicans are smearing Biden.
