Sen. Joseph Biden - Bearing false witness...
In 1972 Sen. Joseph Biden, the Democrat nominee for vice President, lost his wife and young daughter in a car accident. Losing your family in a auto accident is a gut wrenching tragedy, to be sure. No one underestimates that and no ever blamed Mrs. Biden for the accident.
Right up there with despicable things one human can do to another, is falsely accusing the innocent of a crime. “Bearing false witness” is even in the 10 commandments, but Mr. Biden’s feigned Catholicism doesn’t let that stop him.
Last night CBS Inside Edition reports, “In a striking moment in December 2007, he opened his heart to University of Iowa students. "Let me tell you a little story. My wife and three kids were Christmas shopping for a Christmas tree, a tractor trailer, a guy who allegedly, and I never pursued it, drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family, killed my wife instantly, killed my daughter instantly, and hospitalized my two sons."
Out on the stump recently and for years, Biden has repeated this charge. Lately, he has tried to soften it with the thought that he doesn’t know if the semi truck driver was drunk...., “ I never pursued it”. He didn’t follow the case about the death of his wife and child? Give me a break.
The court certainly did. The driver was never charged and was cleared of any wrong doing. Mrs. Biden, driving a station wagon full of kids and a Christmas tree pulled into the truck’s path. The driver, also a victim, had not been drinking and for the years before his death his reputation suffered with the false charge that Biden put out in the public for sympathy and political gain.
He will use his dead family and an innocent fellow American for his own personal profit. Don’t be surprised when he uses the rest of us.

"Thou shalt not bear false witness" is generally considered to apply to all forms of substantive lying, no?
Claiming to have been against the "bridge to nowhere" project when in fact having been in favor of it until it became politically untenable would also be "false witness".
It seems pretty clear that Biden was incorrect in stating that the truck driver who collided with his wife's car was legally drunk. Beyond that, it's not clear he knowingly lied or was mistaken.
If I remember correctly, she killed the bridge project. That sounds like an "against" to me.
Tonio, 'bearing false witness' is just what it says...accusing someone of something they did not do!
Joe LIES ALL the time...that's no news.
And no, Sarah Palin didn't lie.
Nice try, Biden boy......
