Vice President Joe Biden, speaking at a fundraiser in Philadelphia Friday, compared Republicans in Congress to people who excuse rapists by blaming their victims.
The vice president, known for speaking his mind and at times putting his foot in his mouth, said that Republicans who want to cut spending while at the same time cutting taxes for the wealthy are similar to rape apologists. In setting up his comparison, the vice president explained to the audience that before the Violence Against Women Act that he championed was passed into law, there was this attitude in our society of blaming the

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Is this some more “civility” the left was lecturing us about?
/sarc
The wealthy are Americans too. How come being treated equally by law under the 14th amendment does not apply to them.
Would it be right to tax blacks more to cover the cost of black neighborhood in the crime and medical and education costs?
Damn leftists.
First they denigrate the events of the second world war by labelling anyone who disagrees with them ‘nazis’,
now the VP (I know it’s a joke, but this man really is the VPOTUS) denigrates the victims of rape by using their pain to attempt to smear his political adversaries.
Leftists DISGUST me.
So let me get this straight. We’re now not just racists, but now racists rapists?
Hmmm, I'll have to kick that one around for a while ;)
LOL. The new civility.
Uh, rape apologists...does that include ‘well it wasn’t rape rape’, and that didn’t come from Republicans..
“Were now not just racists, but now racists rapists?”
Yes. Simple “racist” accusations were losing their sting from overuse.
Actually, this is the tactic the unions used in CO to defeat Ken Buck.
Bump.
I say this a lot facetiously, as I often know how dems think but prefer to feign ignorance so as to point out the illogicality of their logic. However, this time I have no idea what his analogy means, nor what he was clumsily trying to mean.
What are in the minds of these people? The Vice President is a perv.
Imagine if a Republican had said this..
“before the Violence Against Women Act that he championed was passed into law”
Oh yeah, remember way back then, before it was illegal to rape women. Those were the days.
By the way, that particular act must have been passed before the LGBT “community” rose to power, as in that case it would have been the Violence Against Women, “Women,” Womyn, and Men Who Are Raped By Latently Homosexual, Closeted Males Who Can’t Deal With Their Inner Truths and Have Been Socialized Into Sublimating Their Sexual Feelings Into Violence Against “The Other” Act.

More than 1,000 young American women have been raped or sexually assaulted in the last decade while serving as Peace Corps volunteers in foreign countries, an ABC News 20/20 investigation has found.
In some cases, victims say, the Peace Corps has ignored safety concerns and later tried to blame the women who were raped for bringing on the attacks.
Just call him “Civility Joe”.
Stand up Chuck!
