Flashback: Biden Blames Rape on GOP

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Let's turn back the hands of time. Let's go back to the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites, to our audio archives, October 12th of 2011 in Flint, Michigan, at the downtown fire department. Here was Vice President Bite Me.

BIDEN: In 2008 when Flint had 265 sworn officers on the police force, there were 35 murders and 91 rapes in this city. In 2010, when Flint had only 144 police officers, the murder rate climbed to 65 and rapes, just to pick two categories, climbed to 229. In 2011, you now only have 125 shields. God only knows what the numbers will be this year for Flint if we don't rectify it. And God only knows what that number would have been had we not been able to get a little bit of help to you.

In Flint, Michigan, Biden Warns Of More Rapes And Murders If Jobs Bill Not Passed

RUSH: So last year, our esteemed vice president made an outrageous remark about rape, blaming it on Republicans, and somehow this did not damage the Democrat brand. Todd Akin is destroying the Republican brand, right? Biden, oh, that's old Joe. That's just Joe. Now, I know there are some Democrats who wish Biden would be sent packing, but they are few and they are not afforded a big soapbox. That was October 12th. On October 18th, Biden went to Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania. After a roundtable with police chiefs from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, he was discussing the impact of budget cuts on their ability to effectively police their communities. And he was talking about the American Jobs Act, and Biden said it again.

BIDEN: Let me tell you, it's not temporary when that 911 call comes in, a woman's being raped, if a cop shows up in time to prevent the rape, it's not temporary to that woman. It's not temporary to the guy whose store is being held up and there's a gun pointed at his head. If a cop shows up and he's not killed, that's not temporary to that store owner. Give me a break, temporary.

RUSH: So in Flint, Biden essentially blames Republicans for increased rapes. A week later he goes in to Philadelphia and doubles down on it. Rank, utter stupidity, embarrassingly so, but nobody said that old Joe was damaging the Democrat brand. It's just old Joe. That's just Joe. The Democrats seem to be perfectly fine with stupidity at the highest levels of their party.

Where was the outrage when Al Gore called the alleged rape of Juanita Broaddrick a mistake? Remember this?

Prudhomme soon bore in: "So you didn't believe Juanita Broaddrick's claim."

Gore: "No, I didn't say that. I think I said I don't know how to evaluate that, and I didn't see, uh, the interview. Uh, but I must say something else to you about this....I think that, uh, I think that whatever mistakes he made in his personal life are in the minds of most Americans balanced against what he has done in his personal life as President."

But since he's a Democrat, I guess there's nothing wrong with this.

“In the process, we learned about Whoopi’s strange and fascinating moral universe, which includes the concept of “rape-rape.””

Democrats are totally immoral.
They are the dregs of the civilized world.
There is no act too low for them, no place too filthy for them.
They actually hate people who do not wallow in the filth with them.
They are determined to drag the entire country down into the sewer with them.

Biden needs to go place a call to Hillary's husband, Bill Clinton and they can chat about rape...Bill is an expert on the topic...

makes one wonder just why Bill Clinton got away with rape and Akin is being forced to drop out because he misspoke on the word rape...more reason to say there is a double standard in this country...

well maybe when 2016 comes and Hillary is running for President we can question her on her husbands accused rape case that got a PASS...

Somebody ought to do a satirical rendition of “Anticipation” and call it “Duplicitation”.

Guess we now have 3 classes or rape:

1) Akin - legitimate rape

2) Whoopi - rape rape

3) Clinton (as told by Gore): Ooops, my bad, rape
