These tapes have been around for awhile, just like the stories of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual haressment of women, but now people are saying enough is enough, let’s go after these guys.
Biden sees himself as being so powerful that he can molest children right in front of their parents! And he does it knowing full well that cameras are rolling! These are not anonymous allegations, his despicable actions are right out front for all to see.
No wonder many leading Democrats are against his 2020 run for President. If this tape were run on Election eve, he’d lose in a landslide.
There’s some real creepiness going on there. He needs to stop with the “no serious dating until your 30” comments and he needs to stop manhandling young girls. I’m willing to accept that he’s just overly gregarious (maybe), but this stuff needs to stop. Someone should sit him down and tell him what for. Children aren’t pets to be stroked and petted.
Even the guy in the video says that no claims of sexual harassment have been made against him. So your title is equivalent to “Have you stopped beating your wife?”
This is a video of a guy with an obnoxious voice taking tons of clips out of context. Everything in here happened in public, and no one complained. Just because he rewinds and plays creepy music over it doesn’t make it horrible.
What I see in that video is a guy acting like most grandparents I’ve seen. He’s a bit touchy-feely, like a lot of people I know. Sure, you put all these together, it can look like he’s some sort of creep, but that’s kinda the point of these types of videos.
I could have told you by the guy’s voice and manerisms alone, but surely you guys checked his channel to see his content. This is a conspiracy channel. It’s all about the “true story” about things. It’s not something a Doper of any kind should be taking seriously.
If. IF. IF Biden gets accused by people, then I’ll treat him the same. But this sort of thing where you make an intentionally deceptive title and link to an intentionally deceptive style of video: that ain’t it.
Seriously, I can’t believe that anyone on this board is citing this sort of thing.
Edit: Hell, you used charges. So your trying to imply there’s a legal issue.
If there are credible allegations of sexual assault or harassment against Biden, I hope it comes out. AFAIK, no such allegations have come to light. Being affectionate (even overly affectionate) is not necessarily sexual assault or harassment, whether or not some find it weird.
No actually legal claims have been made because the individuals involved were afraid to say anything for fear of retribution from a sitting or former Vice President of the United States. You don’t think Biden could have wrecked their careers if they said anything? Speaking of saying anything, how about that poor young girl who had to call out “DAD!” because Biden had his hands all over her.
What does your feeling about the guy’s voice have anything to do with anything? Exactly how are these clips “taken out of context”? Biden’s hands all over little girls is not something “horrible”?
Grandparents, fine. However, Biden is a complete STRANGER to these little girls and they are obviously frightened by him.
Your obvious definition of a “conspiracy channel” is any videos that you don’t agree with and don’t try to tell us Dopers what to take seriously and what to cite and what not to cite as evidence. We’re all grown ups here and can think for ourselves.
What context? It’s some guy who wasn’t there saying that this affection is sexual in nature, based on nothing but his own feelings. Show me one of the people that Biden touched say that they were harassed or assaulted, and that would be something. But this? This is random internet person who wasn’t there describing it in a certain way. There are millions of random internet people saying random things about every public figure. Without an actual allegation of inappropriate behavior, this is no different that birtherism or moon landing conspiracies.
Yes, we are, yet every time someone tries to think for themselves, all they get from you is snark. This is one of the silliest threads I’ve seen that has been allowed to remain standing. It begins with an absurdly deceptive title: * Will the child sexual harassment charges against VP Biden be revived?* Implying, of course, that child sexual harassment charges were once brought against Biden, then dropped, then in light of incriminating new evidence maybe they should be “revived”. Cite for any of that being factual?
And the only “evidence” you present is media clips of public events stitched together into a conspiracy rant by a conspiracy nut. I can just imagine all the rocks the alt-right turned over to try to find something – anything – they could smear Biden with, and this is what they had to settle for. The same crowd that thirteen years earlier turned a war hero into a swift-boat coward in the public eye, then established Obama’s birthplace in the dark heart of Kenya.
I also enjoy the way you casually imply that a former VP has the power to inflict horrible retribution against his critics, so the grieving parents are forced to remain silent despite all the obvious evidence for Biden molesting their children! Because, presumably, Biden will send out the death squads if they talk.
This well is so poisoned it should be declared a hazardous toxic-waste zone anywhere within a ten-mile radius. And this kind of bullshit from the far right against a good man still grieving the loss of his son is unconscionable.
No one is just “saying” anything. The videos clearly speak for themselves. Did you even watch them? Biden clearly has his hands inappropriately all over these children. The parents don’t dare speak up because they are afraid of Biden and the power he has to wreck their lives.
What would your reaction be if it were Donald Trump manhandling these innocent kids? The Left would be screaming for his impeachment and demanding jail time.
So I watched enough of the video to see Biden being oddly familiar with about four or five children of Republican senators.
And you are contending that those four or five Republican senators haven’t said anything publicly about a former Vice President being inappropriate to their daughters and granddaughters because the senators are worried about this former Vice President ruining their careers?
So liberal victims of harassment will speak up against the current President, but Republican victims of harassment are scared to speak up against an ex-Vice President?
When said messenger is a conspiracy nut who works with Alex fucking Jones? Hell yeah I’ll attack him. He has absolutely no credibility whatsoever.
Unless you can come up with some additional (LEGIT) cites, I’ll give your video the attention it deserves, which is none. Context or not.
(Psst: many of them have been photoshopped)
If these were your children, would you consider Biden’s behavior with them “normal”? Don’t talk about this guy’s feelings, talk about YOUR feelings when you see how Biden treats this kids. You expect these children to go to the press or the police and press charges?
“…actual allegation of inappropriate behavior…”??? Biden’s actions on the video are “appropriate” in your opinion?
Depending on the circumstances, everything in the link could be appropriate, or might not be. Third parties don’t get to decide that when we weren’t there. Those involved get to decide that. If there are actual allegations from anyone involved, then let’s see them. Otherwise, this is random internet crap.
Trump, on the other hand, has actual allegations against him from actual women who claim he abused them. In addition, Trump is on video bragging about violating the consent of women in multiple ways (barging into changing rooms and grabbing pussies, for example).
The two are not comparable at all, at least not unless and until someone actually makes an allegation against Biden.
‘A batshit crazy conspiracy theorist is not a reliable source’ is not the ad hominem you are trying to present it as. It is, in fact, the most barebones basic component of rational argument.
However ‘typical progressive response’ and ‘Saul Alinski would be proud’ are ad hominems.
“Typical progressive response. Attack the source?” Yeah. Rightwingnuts constantly attack mainstream media, literally the messengers of our nation – and the fucking president of the United States has threatened actual journalists-- but we’re supposed to take some wackadoo with video editing software and a Youtube channel seriously because…?
Again, garbage. No sexual harassment charges have ever been brought against VP Biden, so how could they be revisited? We’re supposed to debate something with you that’s simply untrue? Or at least has no actual evidence?
