I think we're all wondering if you did.

Here, why don't you read the transcript?

I took it from FoxNews, so you wouldn't claim it's been doctored.

Transcript of vice presidential debate | Fox News

Please find the passage for all of us where Biden lied about how his family died.

According to you, that would be acceptable..
Your dad died of cancer, did you ever question if he got every treatment possible, and if his care was always perfect, if he had gotten cancer screening sooner, if, if, if?

Biden's family was killed in a car accident, and at the time the question was raised about the driver of the big rig being impaired. The police investigated and ruled according to the standards of 1972, which were quite different than the standards of today. Biden mentioned his concerns in 2001, and in 2007. The driver's family rightfully defended the driver, and Biden has kept his concerns to himself since.

Somehow, you twist all this to shame Biden????

Good to see Conservative fear blogs pushing another pointless claim about nothing. It is well documented on how Biden lost his family, as it was pointed out here, laws were different then and the driver might not of been tested, but that doesn't really matter because it is a tragedy in Biden's life even if it was his wife's fault for pulling out when she didn't have the right of way.

Good to see Cons will attack anything, even something that makes them look this shallow.

Thread fail, so I am moving on....you guys keep beating your fear drum.

Actually, the question should be, what sort of person stands back and looks at that kinda tragedy in such a "lawyerly" and dispassionate way (like our empathy-challenged wingnut friends prefer to do)?

The standards in 1972 were far less stringent regarding drinking and driving, and the police would have reached their conclusions based on the 1972 standards, not the 2012 standards. However, there is no way to go back in time to determine how sound the police's conclusions were. Moreover, Mr Dunn was terribly affected by this tragedy, as was his family, and AFTER Mr Biden's comments in 2007, Mr Dunn's family reached out to the media to dispute those comments. Nothing can be proven today one way or the other, and again, has Mr Biden said anything about Mr Dunn since being contacted by Dunn's family?

Sure looks like the Joe defenders aren't very politically astute.

JOE HAS BEEN LYING ABOUT THE TRUCK DRIVER BEING DRUNK FOR YEARS...AND YEARS.

It's a very well known fact.

The fact that you folks didn't know it tells me a lot about the pathatic state of voters on the D side.

Again: This is a WELL KNOWN fact.

What the hell does me questioning if he got all of the care he could have received, have to do with how he died?

Then you shouldn't have any problem at all backing up your well-known fact with credible evidence.

Are you telling me Biden is so dumb, that he hasnt learned the truth, but everyone else in the world has figured out that he's wrong?

How long does it take him to figure out how his family died, he's been telling the same story for at least 5 years now
