RUSH: I have a piece here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers by Jack Fowler, National Review<\/a>. And it is an anti-Biden piece. It\u2019s in fact entitled, “Biden,” comma, “Never.” He\u2019s a Never Bidener. And he reminds us of several things about this guy that do not make up the standard reporting on Joe Biden. And I want to run through some of them here because they\u2019re crucially important.<\/p>\n

Jack Fowler begins by writing, “In my 34th year of ‘Never Biden,\u2019 exhausted by the political commentariat\u2019s Trump myopia, I offer some reasons, selective, that explain a complete, personal disdain for the idea of a President Biden. These reasons for opposing [him] … for objecting to this doddering culmination of a half-century of hackery and blarney, elicit varying degrees of disqualification and rage-inducement.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>“The handful of reasons (there are many more) are disqualifying. They are presented without the obsession of ‘But Trump . . .\u2019 rhetoric — look elsewhere (the places are plenty) if that is what floats your boat. This is done with an understanding … that #NeverBiden is a status that applies to many Americans.”<\/p>\n

Now, Fowler points out — this is very, I think, crucial, folks. If you\u2019re out there and you haven\u2019t made up your mind — I don\u2019t know how it\u2019s possible, but if you haven\u2019t, please listen to me here. “The true game-changer to this pandemic should be a successful vaccine (or, vaccines) that, if taken, would restore normalcy of work, travel, commuting, socializing, weddings, worship, vacations, camaraderie, and so much more (consumer spending) that has been curtailed and suppressed by lockdowns and other measures.<\/p>\n

“Or at least, with vaccines, much would be met with far less fear. Vaccines will be empowering and restorative agents. They are deserving of overwhelming support. This summer, as Operation Warp Speed\u2019s pedal hit the metal, Gallup reported that two-thirds of Americans were willing to be vaccinated. But then came the disingenuous and disparaging political rhetoric of the Biden-Harris ticket, which has severely harmed public support for the de facto cure.”<\/p>\n

And these two people are destroying it. Two-thirds of Americans were in favor of the vaccine. Now, because of Biden, it\u2019s down to 50%. “In August, 83 percent of Democrats polled were willing to take the vaccine — as of late September that number plunged to 53 percent.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Biden “has repeated COVID anti-vaxxing rhetoric. ‘I trust vaccines. I trust scientists. But I don\u2019t trust Donald Trump,\u2019 Biden said in a September 16 speech in Delaware. … ‘And at this moment, the American people can\u2019t either.'”<\/p>\n

Really? So you can\u2019t trust Pfizer? You can\u2019t trust Johnson & Johnson? Trump\u2019s not making his own vaccine in some basement laboratory. Jack Fowler is pointing out here that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are single-handedly destroying the public confidence in what would be the most restorative agent our society could have regarding COVID, and that is a vaccine.<\/p>\n

Look at the flu. We do not have a flu vaccine. But people think we do because we have flu shots. So people get their flu shots, and they go about their lives, which is what we want to achieve with COVID. Legitimate shots, legitimate vaccines, legitimate therapeutics. And here is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and they\u2019re doing everything they can to destroy confidence in that. That is unconscionable. And Mike Pence pointed this out to her in their vice presidential debate.<\/p>\n

Now, Fowler\u2019s point is some guy who would do this for the sake of politics, somebody who would destroy the recoverability of our country regarding COVID simply for political points doesn\u2019t deserve to be rewarded any political points. And I wholeheartedly agree. And we don\u2019t hear this aspect of Biden enough, which is why I am mentioning it now. Because Joe Biden, with his vice presidential nominee, are destroying the one thing that could lead to a return to normalcy in American life, and that would be support for the vaccine for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s one thing if you don\u2019t want to take it, fine and dandy. But these two people running for president, vice president, and they are trying to say that you can\u2019t trust the vaccine because it\u2019s Donald Trump\u2019s. It isn\u2019t Donald Trump\u2019s. Donald Trump does not have his own laboratory in the basement of the White House where he\u2019s concocting something that\u2019s gonna hurt people. This is Pfizer. This is Johnson & Johnson. This is Merck. This is a whole bunch of some of the best pharma companies we have out there working on this.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s this, folks. The awful story of the first Mrs. Biden is well known. Along with her daughter, Naomi, Mrs. Biden number 1 was killed in a car accident December 1972 just weeks after Joe was first elected to the Senate. “It was an accident. A truck hit the Biden car, but the truck driver was blameless. Whatever the cause, this is true: No charges were filed. Nor should they have been. But what if the driver, the late Curtis Dunn, had been drinking?”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not true, either. No. But years after this terrible tragedy, Joe Biden needed more sympathy for a political campaign, so he began to lie. He didn\u2019t just exaggerate. He began to lie.<\/p>\n

“Nearly 30 years after his wife\u2019s death, he began telling audiences that Dunn had been drinking, that he had had the old liquid lunch. The Dunn family called out Biden — the boozed-up story was a lie. It denigrated their late dad, who lived out his years bowed by the heaviness of the tragedy. Biden ignored repeated requests to end the fictional death tale. Eventually he stopped (without apologizing). But he should never have started.”<\/p>\n

\"\"Joe Biden embellished a profound tragedy, the death of his first wife. “He persisted at it, he repeatedly lied in the face of all known evidence, his exaggerations pained actual people, whose cease-and-desist requests were ignored for years. To be Joe Biden means at times to be a twisted Walter Mitty, a contriver who thrills to go down fantastical alleyways. His thought processes, his motivations, his objectives — it can combine, and does, to produce a deeply disturbing package.”<\/p>\n

This is a true story. The driver was not drunk. The driver was not charged. It was a pure accident. But years later when Biden needed sympathy in a campaign, he changed the details, claimed the driver was drinking, took his wife from him. The family said, “Please stop this, Senator Biden. It\u2019s not true.” Biden refused to stop for years.<\/p>\n

So a guy willing to denigrate the one thing that could spur a psychological return to normalcy in America — a vaccine or two for the coronavirus — and now a guy willing to lie and defame and impugn the lives of people that didn\u2019t do a damn thing to him. Joe Biden doesn\u2019t deserve the Oval Office. He doesn\u2019t deserve the respect of somebody seeking it, and he actually represents a clear and present danger to the country.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always liked that ever since I saw it. That was the title of a Tom Clancy book.<\/p>\n
