"Pull the Hair Plug on This Guy"
If Sarah Palin had made just one of the wildly inaccurate statements smugly uttered by Sen. Joe Biden in last week's vice presidential debate, there would have been 3-inch headlines in newspapers across America. (I can almost hear Katie Couric asking me, "Which newspapers?")
These weren't insignificant errors, such as when Biden said, "Look, all you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington or go to Katie's restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me where I spend a lot of time, and you ask anybody in there whether or not the economic and foreign policy of this administration has made them better off in the last eight years."
It turns out that Katie's restaurant, where Biden gets his feel for the average American, closed 20 years ago. The only evidence that he spends any time in Home Depot is that it appears that a pipe wrench fell on his head one too many times.
Palin would surely have been forced to withdraw from the ticket had she said something like that, but most of Biden's errors were not trifling mistakes like these. They were lengthy Lyndon LaRouche-like disquisitions that were pure fantasy from beginning to end.
Coulter goes on to give several specific examples of Biden's flat-out lies in the debate.
Biden just made stuff up, yet he was praised as being in command of the facts and the issues, supposedly putting Sarah Palin to shame.
For example:
...In one especially hallucinatory answer, Biden authoritatively stated: "With Afghanistan, facts matter, Gwen. ... We spend more money in three weeks on combat in Iraq than we spent on the entirety of the last seven years that we have been in Afghanistan building that country."
According to the Congressional Research Service, since 9/11, we've spent $172 billion in Afghanistan and $653 billion in Iraq. The most money spent in Iraq came in 2008, when we have been spending less than $3 billion a week. So by Biden's calculations, we've spent only about $9 billion "on the entirety of the last seven years that we have been in Afghanistan building that country." There isn't even a "9" in $172 billion.
Coulter reminds us that lies come easily to Joe Biden and he lied often in the vice presidential debate.

One problem is that Coulter, like many of us, is preaching to the choir. Granted, hers is Mormon Tabernacle in scope, versus our more modestly populated Osmond Family Choruses, but my point is that we already know the hymnal.
The other issue is that it doesn't appear how right (as in "correct") one is. The Obamoonies have already swallowed the Kool-Aid. Their eyes are glazed over, and they cannot be reasoned with any more.
Search YouTube for a recent Howard Stern man-on-the-street bit where his producer talks to Obama supporters, asking them if they agree with "Obama's pro-life position" or "Obama's desire to stay in Iraq until we win" or (best of all) "Obama's choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate".
She'll make him a fine VP, according to every interviewee.
So kudos to Coulter for nailing Biden on the issues, but sadly, this race has little or nothing at all to do with "facts" any more...

amazing that Katies is closed, since I ate breakfast there last weekend in Delaware.
I know most people hate her, but I love me some Anne Coulter! She says it like it is (or like everyone wishes they could say it but are too scared to)!
I'm so fed up with this election, there has been so much media bias that it is disgusting. I am frightened by the fact that so many people don't even bother to RESEARCH candidates and just go with what Madonna tells them to do.
Obama is a very dangerous man for this country, and he has already been dishonest more times than I care to count and he isn't even in office! I wonder when the media is really going to jump on to this ACORN story. Probably never since it benefits 'their' candidate, but it's just disgusting!
The ACORN thing is driving me absolutely nuts.
It's a given that the results of this election will be tainted by fraud on a massive scale.
