He called a young woman a 'liar' and 'dog-faced'... SMC22307 Feb 2020 #61

It's a shitty line no matter where he got it. Calling someone a liar is a shit move. WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2020 #2

Oh, FFS. It's an over-the-top line used as a joke. I'd guess Biden and his brother highplainsdem Feb 2020 #11

You keep talking about Biden and his brother. The opinion of the person the line was directed at WhiskeyGrinder Feb 2020 #14

Calling a woman "dog-faced" seems a doubtful thing to do also. cwydro Feb 2020 #60

So he forgot that he got a "funny insult" from his brother and thought he got it from a movie. Autumn Feb 2020 #4

Read the excerpt I have in the OP. His brother told him it was a line from a John Wayne movie. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #6

Does it bother you that he used a "funny insult" on a young woman who was obviously nervous at Autumn Feb 2020 #9

I didn't think she sounded nervous. And that old line Biden got from his brother was a joking highplainsdem Feb 2020 #17

As a woman I saw it as nervousness. I don't see why he would be sceptical she had been to a caucus Autumn Feb 2020 #21

The pretzel logic continues. BlueWI Feb 2020 #5

Read the excerpt in the OP. He got the line from his brother, who loves to use lines from John highplainsdem Feb 2020 #8

And this has what to do with a question BlueWI Feb 2020 #30

Regardless of the source. It's another rookie mistake by Joe. This should be easy: JoeOtterbein Feb 2020 #7

How is this relevant in any way? melman Feb 2020 #18

It was obviously a joke, and the people around him got it. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #22

So why does it matter where he got it? melman Feb 2020 #23

It matters because I've seen people here VERY upset because they can't find that line highplainsdem Feb 2020 #32

It doesn't, except to those who want to make it "matter". George II Feb 2020 #49

In 1955 perhaps. This is 2020. nt essme Feb 2020 #29

Poll thing was stupid. What Biden said was stupid. The woman was shaken by the comment for a giggle krissey Feb 2020 #43

Fine. WHatever. It was a fuck up. That is why people pay attention to what they say. krissey Feb 2020 #50

Her "angst"? She'd decided to confront a former VP and presidential candidate with a question she highplainsdem Feb 2020 #52

She asked a totally legitimate question that Biden confirmed as honest that many of us have been krissey Feb 2020 #54

How hard is it for you to understand that if you ask a candidate a question you yourself describe as highplainsdem Feb 2020 #56

Biden SAID... Was not mean, was Honest. Maybe you will start calling Biden a dog faced krissey Feb 2020 #57

Biden was being gracious about her question. Which reinforces what I said about how he would not highplainsdem Feb 2020 #58
