A video has surfaced of Joe Biden addressing the troops on a 2016 visit overseas. After having mentioned a couple of accomplishments of which he was proud while receiving no response from his audience, he said “Clap for that, you stupid bastards.” He was clearly trying to be funny. Of course some on the Right have chosen to interpret the comment as a gross insult to the intelligence of America’s military. But two wrongs don’t make a right! While I have seen several examples of the mainstream media taking Trump out of context in an attempt to discredit him, this in no way justifies those who dislike Biden from doing the same to him. Such blind partisanship makes meaningful dialogue between the two sides almost impossible, indeed is responsible for the truly ugly state of American politics today.
The words and actions of those on the Left speak for themselves. One doesn’t need to misrepresent anything they say or do to illustrate the morally vacuous, pragmatically useless and intellectually dishonest nature of their fundamental beliefs and values. Let’s leave the juvenile ranting and raving to the other side.
