Fox News on Joe Biden: He could have dementia, was drinking or did cocaine

[WI_DEM]

Following Vice President Joe Biden's strong debate performance against Paul Ryan last week, Fox News has been doing their best to push conspiracy theories to explain his performance.

Last week, after President Obama gave a less than stellar performance against Mitt Romney, Joe Biden was put in a position where he had to deliver - he did. Democrats were thrilled with Biden and independents sided with him as well. While the general consensus was that Biden was the winner, Republicans and the right-wing media did what they could to discredit the vice-president in their attempt to continue Mitt Romney's momentum. Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Eric Boling and Greg Gutfeld all suggested that Joe Biden was drinking, and even former Republican governor, Mike Huckabee continued with the claims.


On "Fox & Friends" on Sunday, Fox News contributor, Dr. Keith Ablow, pushed a theory that Joe Biden could have dementia.

“"I did not evaluate Joe Biden, but if someone said to me 'listen, we want you to do what's really require to know what happened there,' you have to put dementia on the deferential diagnosis. You have to say 'bizarre laughter, interrupting.'"...

1. LOL. Projection much?

Jeebs.

[JoePhilly]

2. The first two describe their audience, the third describes their hosts.

[get the red out]

21. The first describes Reagan, the other 2 describe W

[Terra Alta]

3. Fuck Fox "News".

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Wow, now could then explain what the hell is wrong with Rmoney?

[Liberal Veteran]

5. What? No discussion of possible "bath salts" use?

[TwilightGardener]

14. ...

[City Lights]

6. Ohmygod, they are pathetic!

Absolutely pathetic!

[Samjm]

7. So let me get this straight...

A drunk, high, dementia sufferer STILL managed to beat your guy?

I personally wouldn't be spreading THAT around!

[WI_DEM]

12. Good one.

[OhZone]

22. lulz well said! nt

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. What about Romney's debate performance?

[sakabatou]

9. They have no souls, but we already knew that

[hrmjustin]

10. I hope they all cry on TV on election night when Romney looses.

[Canuckistanian]

11. Ooo, cocaine. That's a new one

Next they'll be saying he took bath salts and almost ate Ryan's face off.

[kysrsoze]

13. No matter which one, he still pummeled Ryan's ass.

What's that say about their candidate?

[DearHeart]

15. How utterly pathetic!!

Couldn't be that Ryan is a lying sack of excrement!!

[Angry Dragon]

16. And Joe still kicked the second best the repubs have

[progressivebydesign]

17. Wow. I meant in all sincerity when I said I thought Romney was on crack during the 1st debate.

I meant it. If anyone looked to be coked up, It was him. If anyone seemed to be "off" it was Romney. Amazing that the shit-for-brains "expert" didn't fucking examine Romnye by proxy, as well. At least Biden smiled and laughed at the appropriate moments... Romney just creeped everyone out with his weird vulture/psycho killer smile and his constant interuppting.

18. Fox thought Biden lost to Sarah Palin

O'Reilly, for example, twisting himself up into a pretzel to explain how Palin won. There is no conceivable way a Democrat could ever be shown to have had a completely positive debate performance on Fox, even if the Republican fell unconscious or died half way through.

[drm604]

19. So what are they saying then?

That their candidate was unable to win a debate against someone who was either demented, drunk, or high?

They may want to rethink that argument.

[louis-t]

20. Uh, but it was Ryan that gulped water the whole night....

Cotton mouth from all the drugs....

[Puddy]

23. I hate them.

[spanone]

24. has faux merged with the onion? i don't remember reading that but, you never know.

[Cleita]

25. Or, he could be the absolutely right

in what he said and laughed about. Why was Ryan drinking all that water? Too many mood pills that made him thirsty, maybe? Speculation does cut both ways.

[one_voice]

26. I can't imagine any...

legit doctor saying shit like this. Is he a legit doctor? If so, I wonder if there's some legal/ethical line he's crossed. This doesn't seem professional or ethical to me.

[ladjf]

27. Biden is exactly the opposite of their remarks. We see another clear example of the

Republican "alternate Universe", meaning that usually the truth is 180 degrees away from what they say.

[Initech]

28. How the hell has Keith Ablow not lost his medical license yet?

Is he even really a doctor? They're called psychiatrists, not psychopaths.

[surrealAmerican]

29. ... or, he might have been sent to this planet ...

... from Krypton to defend " truth, justice, and the American way", which is about as likely as your speculation, fox.
