did i miss something re: Biden & health, bowing out?

[RhodaGrits]

extreme RW acquaintance just wrote me the following:

"and, as u know, jb is expected to bow out for 'health reasons' AFTER the 1st vp debate and w/ the queen as vp, there's NFW to beat the damn marxist socialist bastard!"

I'm not even trying to convert him, he's hopeless but where is he getting this? I like getting his emails because I can get a sense of what nonsense they are disseminating but this is second time I heard this reference in 2 days.

Anybody fill me in or is this just out of the ether?

1. It's bullshit

Teh rightwing knows the only way they win is if something earth shattering, like Biden bowing out, happens.

It's not going to happen.

[Jennicut]

7. That rumor needs to die now. It has been going around a while and is untrue.

Biden is very healthy and doing a great job as our VP nominee.

21. Its called Projection

You can always tell what guilt they are having by what guilt they often lay on their enemies.

It is also at the heart of the Guns of Augsut process of spiral thinking and strategic justification failures, estimating an enemies strength and strategy on ones own situation, strengths and weaknesses rather than the enemies real situation.

It should also be of not that the rumor is TIMED to coincide with the result of Sarah Palins troopergate situation so it is likely a revese projection of that fear.


In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism in which one attributes one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions to others. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses/desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them. The theory was developed by Sigmund Freud and further refined by his daughter Anna Freud, and for this reason, it is sometimes referred to as "Freudian Projection

2. Just crazy-ass nonsense. Ignore them.

There's no basis for it.

[ellacott]

3. There was a post on a RW blog

Many don't believe it. The threads from this weekend got locked.

Someone brought up an excellent point. Chances are very strong that the Obama camp included his medical history in the vetting process.

[Avalux]

4. Um; why would you take anything a RW idiot says as truth?

Where is he getting this? He's making it up - only thing they know how to do.

[Hawkeye-X]

5. Remind that nutter that his President of choice has cancer

up to the wazoo and the VP has an IQ of a gnat.

13. What you said.

6. Who on earth does your friend mean by "the queen"

and the socialist-marxist bastard?

[louis-t]

12. You know, the bitch.

As in "how do we beat the bitch?"

[Sebastian Doyle]

19. Freddie Mercury?

Of course he's British. And dead. Both of which make him kind of ineligible. :(

[Midlodemocrat]

8. I can't even read that. Is your friend 12?

However old he is, he's a stupid douchebag. First of all JB isn't ill, and second of all, Failin isn't queen of anything except the meth capital of the world.

[dchill]

9. It is to laugh. It is to gag.

Or just hurl.

:puke:

[gauguin57]

10. Here's the nonsense.

11. Something to send back to your acquaintance:

Counter their rumors with our own. And I might add that ours is more believable.

[snooper2]

14. It's some stupid bullshit Glen Beck made up earlier last week..

on his radio show...

[cynatnite]

15. That's about as believable as the one about Palin bowing out n/t

[FloridaGrl]

16. Tell him

to stop emailing you junk. It's wishful thinking on his side.

[texas1928]

17. just reply back

"Enjoy your wet dream, Biden is going to wipe the floor with her."

[movonne]

18. Don't you think before he was picked the Obama camp would have

seen his medical records???

[Withywindle]

20. Yeah, they would. Unlike the McCain't camp, Obama's folks actually vetted the picks.

Besides, don't forget, Biden ran for President in his own right first. If his health was an issue, there'd at least have been whispers about that, don't you think?

Typical projection issue. McCain is the one with one foot in the grave.

[blondeatlast]

22. Can we mock these dolts YET? (Your "friend," not you) nt

[jberryhill]

23. No, you didn't miss anything. There was nothing to miss

Unlike the cancer-riddled and increasingly mentally unfocused McCain, Biden is in perfect health.

[rvablue]

24. He's getting it from being a freepin' idiot. n/t

[specialed]

25. That's too stupid not to be from a freeper.

Why would they wait for a bow out after a debate? Makes no sense.

[vanderBeth]

26. It's utter bullshit.
