Joe Biden Invents Phony Gun Statistics — Because SHUT UP HATERS, That’s Why!

Posted on | April 18, 2013 | 49 Comments

Stephen Gutowski describes the goofball’s latest anti-gun idiocy:

By combining, apparently in his head and on the fly, the demonstrably inaccurate “80,000 plus people a year” with the debunked claim that 40% of gun sales in America don’t require a background check, Mr. Biden reaches the completely unverifiable claim that “between 30,000 and 50,000 who get a gun who are not qualified. Probably higher.” That claim, the child of two other blatantly inaccurate claims used to forward gun control agendas, is, of course, itself used to forward a gun control agenda.

Facts? Logic? Who needs silly stuff like that, when you’ve got President AngryPants ranting against his opponents as moral inferiors? Besides, there’s always “shameless emotional bullying — political necromancy,” and the familiar “absolute moral authority” of victimhood employed to silence rational policy debate.

Our political, academic and media elites deliberately foment this atmosphere of hysterical emotionalism that empowers, for example, the insufferably smug Lawrence O’Donnell to blame the NRA — ! — for the Boston Marathon bombing.

The decadent creatures who would rule over us are forever “Hijacking crises for fun and profit,” as Ed Morrissey says. Or, more to the point, they are hijacking crises to augment their power and enhance their narcissistic enjoyment of imaginary superiority to the rest of us.

    Reagan described Biden as being “part of the lynch mob.” He didn’t like him or trust him. I think at this time, Biden isn’t responsible for anything he says. And that’s pretty sad and scary since he’s the VP.

    Reid keeps insisting they voted “against” the wishes of 90% of the voters in every state. 95% of our elected officials have neither the integrity nor the intestinal fortitude to vote against 90% of the people.

    Joe Biden is clearly less qualified to be VP than either Dan Quayle or Spiro Agnew, and that’s a pretty low bar.

    Not that we need more proof, but the silence from the media after another dimwitted comment from Biden proves how far in the tank they are for this administration. With his teeth Biden would be great in a Poligrip commercial. With his brain he would make a great maitre d at Red Lobster.

    Funny innit: Gabby Giffords has “absolute moral authority” because she got shot by a madman, but people who didn’t get shot by a madman because they defended themselves with a firearm have NO moral authority.

    Such is the illogic and idiocy of the leftistas.

    The bigger picture is that the media ia in league with Democrats not to expose their lies, therefore, as Rush points out the low information voter thinks this is true and votes accordingly. That’s why that one Democrat consultant even said media bias is now a threat to our democracy.
