Joe Biden: Grabbing Your Junk “Is Necessary”
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, November 19, 2010, 12:53 PM
Groping is necessary.
Joe Biden weighed in on the unconstitutional gropings and naked scanning going on at airports across the US. The Vice President said the sexual assaults are “necessary.”
FOX Nation reported on this from The Hill:
Vice President Joe Biden is defending the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) controversial new pat-down technique, calling it a “necessary policy.”
Biden acknowledged people have concerns that the TSA’s use of full-body scanners and pat-downs are frustrating and intrusive but argued they are crucial to prevent another incident like the attempted Christmas Day airline bombing.
“Well look, Larry, maybe because I spend so much time every morning dealing with the threat assessment that’s out there and the fact that it’s real — I understand peoples’ frustration, but I — unless there’s a new technology that comes along pretty quickly, I think it’s — I think it’s a necessary policy,” he said on CNN’s “Larry King Live” program. “I think it will have the effect of saving lives, intercepting explosives.”

Okay, you stupid idiot, Biden, why don’t you fly on a commercial airlines and let them feel up you and your wife? Shut up unless you are the one it’s happening to. Oh, that’s right, you THINK you’re the elite and this shouldn’t happen to you. Well, let me tell you something, you and the idiot in the White House should be checked more so than the American citizens. You both work for a Socialist (Soros) that’s terrorizing our country. In my mind, that means that you’re both terrorists!
Granny commented:
Joe Biden? THIS Joe Biden? Does he actually have two brain cells to run together anymore?
TSA has never once intercepted explosives or anything else of substance and they never will, since 99.99% of the people that they harass, humiliate and sexually assault are children, old folks that can barely walk, Veterans – in other words, people that under even the most liberal of profiling guidelines constitute exactly ZERO threat.

I’d like to see how “necessary” Biden thinks these patdowns are if HE should be the recipient of this kind of sexual assault!

In Bitemes case, no junk no foul.
Ginger commented:
I always cringe when I see him or people campaigning go into a restaurant and shake hands with people who are eating! Do you know the germs they are passing? I can’t understand people who would allow it! Then I see the rubber gloves on the TSA perverts and they are passing germs to others! Where are peoples brains?
Indy Voter commented:
If this is the way it’s going to be, then the terrorists have won, game over.
I cannot accept this, we are Americans, we must not accept this. Forget the technology and gropings, how about bomb snifing dogs, how about questionning travelers like our allies in Isreal do?
So much for teaching our children about stranger danger, our government supports sexual assualts…for now, I’ll continue to travel by car.

OK Joe, we’ll form a line —

The amount of security screening, web oversight, citizen surveillance, etc. on American Citizens under Bush’s administration was NOTHING compared to Obama’s policies. Furthermore, Bush’s policies were always directed at Islamic terrorism, plots, and suspects. NONE of Obama’s policies are directed at Islamic terrorism, in fact his policies go to extremes to exempt Islamic suspects and instead focus on patriotic Americans.
ACLU, civil libertarians, any all of you that were screaming during Bush’s tenure should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves for your silence now. Spineless cowards.

And the muslim garbed are EXEMPT from this pat-down policy? Nothing like treating the American citizenry as the enemy and the enemy as …………

Oh how obama would love to destroy the American airline biz and takeover this industry as well. I think these are first steps to such a scenario.

Apparently TheWon is using a SSN at the present time (seems to have had several) issued in Connecticut while he lived in Hawaii – something clearly impossible. Those social security numbers are a coded tracking system. If you know the code, it is very clear where a particular number was issued.
StandUp4Chuck commented:
Uncle Joe is going to sign up as a TSA agent after his gig of ViP is over. Then we can call him Dirty Uncle Joe.
Joanne commented:
Spoken from a guy who won’t have to go through a virtual strip search or a pat down – like anyone wants to hear what the idiot Biden has to say when it won’t even affect him.
KR commented:
If it is sooo necessary, then why not the same treatment for the muslim women?
john commented:
#11 BillyBobHasHadEnuff. Not only that but Obama has hired so many terrorist sympathizers as TSA agents, DHS advisors, and inside policy advisors.
If you travel, request a new screener if a terrorist sympathizer wants to pat you down. I will. And I will request a female.
theBuckWheat commented:
Excuse me, waiving the Fourth while grabbing my crotch not “necessary”. It is what the Elites have chosen, and the little people for whom these decisions are made, can only comply. Just like with Social Security, there cannot be any opt out lest the little people get ideas they can live without the Supreme Guidance of their betters.
Leave it to the Socialists (er, “progressives”) to turn the government’s prime function of protecting the citizen into the very means of extending power over them.
What is signal to me is that this is about power, subjugation and compliance is that Israel gets along quite well with an entirely different approach to maintaining a safety of air travel on their flag airline El Al.
And don’t forget that it was one of the prime progressives, Senator Charles Schumer, who proposed federalizing airline security. He assured us that it would make the people more “professional”. This leads me to ask, professional at what, exactly? We now have our answer. And as we are getting that answer, we see what level of people are now acting as our overlords at the airport and who must comply or face arrest or worse.
gastorgrab commented:
If “we are not now, nor have we ever been at war with Islam”, then why should our civil rights be suspended?
Are we officially at war with anyone?
—————
Doesn’t the government have to declare a state of ‘Martial Law’ before they can suspend our civil rights?
Don’t they at least have to declare the threat that we face, legally?
If al-Qaeda was named as an ‘imminent outside threat’ to the United States, would it compel the federal government to abandon the civil trials for Guantanamo inmates?

ebayer commented:
Biden—->Quit defending the indefensible.
When you only pat down 4% of the passengers and DON’T INSPECT ANY OF THE CARGO,then your highly invasive pat downs are INEFFECTIVE.
Where were these government officials when Ashcroft wanted to listen to Islamic fundamentalists phone conversations?——->They were SCREAMING about civil rights violations.
This is all a show and I will never,ever forgive these politicians for what they are doing…NEVER
CrankyOldLady commented:
None of this Obatguano-engineered terrorism on citizens will be allowed when the government once again sides with America and does the right thing. That would be to PROFILE muslamists.
Ferret out who they are, then strip search them and cavity search them for explosives. If a muslamist is carrying anything that goes “boom!”, take the muslamist outback and shoot it dead. Then “encourage” their muslamist supporters to get the hell out of America. They have no right to use our laws to mass murder us. The Constitution is not a suicide pact.
After all, who else in the WORLD makes their most important Religious Commandment the performance of suicide mass murder in the skies and elsewhere?

Supposedly so. However, there is that little thing called an Executive Order whereby the President quite literally makes a law without any input or approval from Congress, which has no veto power over those executive orders. To make bad matters worse, the President can seal and Executive Order so that literally nobody can even find out that it exists, much less what it says.
You might recall that TheWon declared that the very first thing he was going to do as POTUS was to go through President Bush’s Executive Orders with a fine-toothed comb. Your guess is as good as mine as to what has been done literally outside of all oversight.
Sandy commented:
Once its legal to have Black Panthers at polling booths harrassing voters, or the Speaker of The House calling Tea Party voters Nazis should we be surprised that the VP has no problem with the Govt. sexually assaulting American travelers?
These guys suffered the biggest loss in history just a couple of weeks ago — shouldn’t they just take a time out and think about how they are embarrassing the US to the rest of the world?

Executive Order — Presidential Records
[Sec. 3. Claim of Executive Privilege by Incumbent President.
(a) Upon receipt of a notice of intent to disclose Presidential records, the Attorney General (directly or through the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel) and the Counsel to the President shall review as they deem appropriate the records covered by the notice and consult with each other, the Archivist, and such other executive agencies as they deem appropriate concerning whether invocation of executive privilege is justified.
(b) The Attorney General and the Counsel to the President, in the exercise of their discretion and after appropriate review and consultation under subsection (a) of this section, may jointly determine that invocation of executive privilege is not justified. The Archivist shall be notified promptly of any such determination.
(c) If either the Attorney General or the Counsel to the President believes that the circumstances justify invocation of executive privilege, the issue shall be presented to the President by the Counsel to the President and the Attorney General.
(d) If the President decides to invoke executive privilege, the Counsel to the President shall notify the former President, the Archivist, and the Attorney General in writing of the claim of privilege and the specific Presidential records to which it relates. After receiving such notice, the Archivist shall not disclose the privileged records unless directed to do so by an incumbent President or by a final court order.

I dont know…maybe Joe the blowhard should have to go through both the scanner and the patdown before he comments on it. But having to show his “junk” would prove what a “little” man he really is.
Granny commented:
bg #23 – you might remember that very shortly after TheWon assumed office he decided that he was going to seal all the presidential records of previous presidents by executive order, prohibiting nearly all acess to them by almost anyone. This is the Executive Order that put that in place. The full text is here -

Oh Joe, just because you can’t get a good grope doesn’t mean you have to force the entire nation to be punished for your own shortcomings.
Ladue Pundit commented:
Since Biden is unable to find his own ass with both hands, the TSA must do it for him.
Stuart commented:
This is about what I expected from the Democrat establishment. Because the American people object to being groped and sexually assaulted the Dems feel that they have to rise to the bate and defend the poor besieged TSA.
The meme that comes across loud and clear is that the Dems are the party behind this indignity. Obama, Reed, and Pelosi should be intimately linked with the TSA and its indignities. They should be, if you will, the faces of sexual assault.
As for Biden, he can remain the face of “too dumb to chew gum”.

Ok, who will say the obvious? I will: “The CHRISTmas day” attempt, and others like it, most anyhow, were from terrorists trying to come INTO the USA from a “FOREIGN COUNTRY”…
How in the world is molesting our children on their way out, or within, going to stop this in other countries?
The answer is obvious “PROFILING”…ask everyone one question: “Is Jesus Christ your Lord & Savior?” if yes…you’re good to board…if not, you’re rejected!
Nelle commented:
Hey, Joe, there is a new technology that makes manhandling Americans unnecessary. It’s called “cramming it up your orifice”, and terrorists know how it’s done. So take one of those porn machines and try it out. If this keeps up, we’ll all be flying as Muslim women soon, and then you’ll have to give up the groping and the picture taking anyway.

WRONG! Dead Wrong! What about our Jewish citizens? Those who follow Native American beliefs? Hindus? Buddhists? Heck, even the Wiccans aren’t terrorists!
And what about our Constitution? The very first words of the First Amendment are exactly Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. Any law that would allow profiling re your “criteria” would be in direct conflict to that.
Truthfully, Earl, I’m surprised you’re over here commenting on a Conservative blog. This is the kind of totalitarian attitude one sees from the Far Left.

How can he hide it from the Supreme Court? He’d have to reveal to presence of the EO in order to prosecute it.
Even if Congress has no access to the records, the Congress still has the right to force a Judicial review, don’t they?
Enter: Ron Paul?

The president does not have line item veto over bills passed by Congress, but Executive Orders are not subject to Congressional oversight. And since even the existence of an Executive Order does not, by Executive Order, have to be disclosed, nobody can quote the Executive Order in order to bring it before the Supreme Court, now can they?
gastorgrab commented:
Does the president just ignore the Supreme Court, when his actions are challenged?
And why should anyone feel compelled to abide by an unwritten law?
It was bad enough that the Executive branch was given Legislative powers, but when the president is allowed to enact totally secret laws, WE ARE ALL IN DANGER.

Bend over Rover, groping is necessary, but not profiling or troops at the Mexican border; the next thing coming is a proctology examination… The Democrats are dishonest, incompetent blowhards, hypocrites and shallow left-wing fools, they are a bonafide radical left-wing fifth column now.
