Biden Chokes Up during Debate

[OrganicKing]

sarah palin is dumb hoe

[SeeMoreGlass89]

ugh, why is she smirking the whole time he's talking about that...at least fake some sympathy you egotistical psycho!

[peaco1000]

If you look closely, she was moved by what Biden said. She tried to disguise it but it was there.

[fireonhigh100]

right after ha faked his lil bitch act he is back to a perfect voice,he lies,thankgod him and the other idiot are out in 2years

[baverfjant]

@fireonhigh100 Are you serious!? Do you actually think that he fakes his sadness when he speaks about his wife and daughter being killed!? You've got to be as retarded as Sarah Palin...

[Liotta12]

Sarah Palin is a dumb cunt!

[FredFoothand]

get over it already

[smeeesh1]

@FredFoothand She is a dumb fucking cunt!!!

[looods]

Sarah, you're a moron

[pdheartbreak]

that's why Sarah lost the debate. No remorse.

[kryptonitebullet179]

Totally. I didn't know until today that she smiled through Biden's response, even after mentioning his heartbreaking loss.

[twystedpen]

True, she does, but she uses her kids as props for her speeches. If she actually loved her kids, she wouldn't have acted the way she did, or let her daughter Bristol get into the mess she's in now.

I'm not a mom, but I would NEVER do what she does. NEVER, EVER, EVER!

[xxDolllFacexx]

Poor dear.

but Sarah Palin is still no.1

[CamiaJPM]

I love you, Joe! Sarah wasn't being heartless, just clueless and completely self involved. O wait.....yeah, she was being heartless.

[MonicaFan723]

damn, all she could do was look down and try to memorize her speech.

what a heartless biotch

[brittneyrae222]

i can't believe people didnt make a bigger deal out of her reaction. what a cold-hearted and clueless lady.

[0laila]

palin is a DUMB SACK OF SHIT!

[RizziWizzi]

Wow, Sarah's heartless. Such a heartfelt moment from Sen. Joe, but all Sarah can do is spew out 'McCain is a Maverick' nonsense! She could have at least acknowledged Sen. Joe's pain, or would it mean she deviated from the script the Republicans drilled into her?

[jpdeas66]

Big Joe FORGOT to wipe the TEAR from his Eyes!

I can just picture him practicing this is the mirror at home!

GOTTA LOVE IT!

[twystedpen]

Hey prick, you don't practice in the mirror fighting back tears recounting how you raised two sons alone (also without acknowledging the pain of having to tell your surviving children that their mom and sister weren't coming home). Fuck you, Sarah Palin and the horse both of you rode in on...

[Aidaism]

"Fuck you, Sarah Palin and the horse both of you rode in on..." LMAO. Yeah, more like the jackass they rode in on..

[xxDolllFacexx]

Srah palin has 02397502937520 kids

and one with a mental disablity

SO DON'T YOU WORRY

she knows all about parenting

don't question her skill son that

you fuck!

joe biden is a wannabee john mccain

but this is kinda sad

fake but faked to perfection.

[tobydoggg]

boooo hooooo...nice acting douche

[cageynerd]

be respectful you idiot... his wife and daughter died in one day, his two sons almost killed, put into comas that same day. Have F@cking respect shithead-douche!

[tobydoggg]

He's insincere....and you're being played for a fool.

[Sinaeris]

The only one being played for a fool is you thinking that was acting. If you were in his position and you lost your wife and daughter and didn't know whether your sons were going to make it, would you get emotional? I may be a man, but the tears would be rolling down my face. How Joe Biden got through that and dominated Palin the rest of the night, I'll never know, but that is one hell of a man right there. It's rare to see a politician with heart, but to say he was acting? You're ignorant.

[MsNick991]

@cageynerd

He deserved it in some way.Its just the same,his family didnt had nothing to do with his evil political paths,but they suffered,its the same thing with innocent civilians who died in bombing of Serbia when he was suggesting it...

[charlieJH401]

fuck you if your love ones ever die i hope someone says that to you, his wife and kid died in a car crash during Xmas

[KingVallejo]

fuck u

[seans10]

What was McCain thinking when he nominated this woman? I admire John McCain--and have MANY problems with Obama, e.g. including Rev. Wright's assertion that he is a phony--but this woman might be enough to punch the card for Obama. What Obama lacks in experience he at least mitigates with intelligence and circumspection.

[TheNavigateur]

C-SPAN was the only channel which showed the other candidate's facial reactions I think.

[emmyemsy]

REAL MEN CRY

[themango90]

Those are MANLY TEARS

MANLY TEARS

[ladidahnet]

I agree with you Billwest69. She seems so cold..and her response following this was about her...how can she say she understands people, when she seems so heartless and cold here! I have NEVER wanted to slap my TV so bad!

[billwest69]

How can this Palin bitch be smiling through Biden's comments about his tragedy and not express any emotion after? I am totally against violence against women but never wanted to punch a woman in the face so much.

[Sedalb]

You no idea how much your comment made me laugh. I can only picture you standing infront of you monitor punching the right side of the screen of your computer.

Palin can't be president... she shouldn't even be given the opportunity to be president. Biden showed that he has something called "human emotions" which promotes "logical thinking mixed with morals". Biden won that debate... no question.

[TheNavigateur]

She smiles when she shoots those animals too.

[Texas93]

hahahah

[jpdeas66]

Big Joe FORGOT to wipe the TEAR from his Eyes!

I can just picture him practicing this is the mirror at home!

GOTTA LOVE IT!

[TheNavigateur]

Looked spontaneous.

[xxDolllFacexx]

YUP!

[deenums]

Biden spoke so well here... And why does Palin keep repeating the same sound bytes? They seem even more out of place after what Biden shared.

[gern74]

That 'choked up moment' was so contrived it was actually disturbing!

[SFWooch]

Talk to us about contrivance when you're ready to step in the shoes of a parent who has lost a child, or a husband who has lost a wife, or a single parent who has to raise two young boys on his own, or a parent whose oldest son just got deployed to Iraq today. Perhaps if you ever get choked up talking about those kinds of experiences, someone else can accuse you of contriving those emotions.

[equality53000]

to answer the question about why she was smirking the whole time, i kinda felt like it was 2 reasons. 1) because its all she knows how to do and 2) i thought there was a bit of an "oh shit" grin in there like, "i just got owned because he came back at me with that and i dont have the ability to deal with what he just said, so i'll just ignore it"

[ladidahnet]

I think is't #2 and a combination of, "What did I learn in Beauty School? SMILE! and LOOK PRETTY!"

[themango90]

Those are manly tears.

MANLY TEARS!

[kurenasu]

Ah, with the split screen effect, now I know why Palin's response was so empty-headed. SHE WAS RE-READING HER BULLSHIT ON HER NOTECARDS AND DIDN'T EVEN LISTEN TO BIDEN!!!!! So instead of being an unfeeling, disrespectful wench, she's actually just clueless. Yep, cements my vote for Obama.

[SFWooch]

Yep, considering how "connected" she tries to portray herself. I was wondering why she went straight into a canned response after Biden's story. At the very least, I thought that Palin had better political instincts than that.

But, seeing her on the split screen, it's obvious that she wasn't even listening. Just flipping thru the notecards scanning for her next set of talking points.

[ladidahnet]

I love this moment for Biden...and I completely agree with what you said about Palin...she wasn't even listening. She is NO HILLARY!

[TheNavigateur]

C-SPAN split screen rox my sox.

[chevychase]

God bless Joe Biden. He showed us what a real man looks like. Sarah Palin showed us what a smart ass spoiled 13 year old looks like.

[echosaisis]

amen!

[poetlifeart]

right on

[meekhon]

That really was a touching moment, which you could see and feel was genuine..

And then that screech comes in and bleets out with the same old rhetoric she has constantly banded around the whole time....

Jan Mcane is 'rootin, tooting' maverick y'all - as we are all going to smile and say 'geee misser parlin, y'use goddam rite!, asai gunnna vote him, woop pe doop yes'sir'ree'

[deenums]

That's hilarious!

[Sasuke725]

sick, sick, person

i think you need some medical help

[DrShades123]

Biden sounds like a name for a super saiyan. Goku went super saiyan when krillin died. He's going fucking super saiyan!!!!

[harkish]

I hate these fake true moments, where candidates show how 'human' they are by sharing some family issue - my wife is a painkiller addict, my child is mentally handicapped, I like tighty whiteys... who the hell cares - what policies will you enact? In this debate, his teary moment aside, Biden showed he was ready to be veep. Palin avoided all substance, it was all soundbite. She did a good job at memorizing those soundbites. But I would not want her anywhere near the levers of power.

[themango90]

As someone said earlier...

Those are Manly Tears.

MANLY TEARS!

[Teiresias911]

That was one of the worst and most unrealistic 'choke ups' of all time. I mean, really?

[cheese71burger]

Why is she SMIRKING the entire time?

[pointguardmartin]

I'm all for Obama, but I have to say Palin did better than I expected but ONLY because the expectations were so low. BOTH candidates did the usual political pandering and non-answering, but as this clip shows Sen. Biden was answering the question "what are your weaknesses", he shows that he CAN answer a straightforward question even if it will make him look slightly bad. Palin's rambling and nonsensical response did just that; it made her look like a fool.

[rrmodlin]

Joe Biden has his finger on the pulse of middle America. Joe Biden is a part of middle America. It really touches my heart to see such a powerful man show a softer side. I know he must be proud of his son Beau for serving our country but, at the same time terrified at the prospect of losing him again. You want family values, look at the Obama;s and Biden's. As a middle class Mother of 2 from Missouri, I say OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

[jilliangoldin]

This was a touching moment.

[dukes8]

Biden is a real person, who has been where so many of use are now.

obama/Biden 08
