Did Biden's performance hurt or help?

When your opponents can make an attack ad out of your performance, it's usually not an indicator of your having done a good job.

Republican National Committee releases Biden - Laughing at the Issues video from the Vice-Presidential debate

Last night's Vice Presidential Debate on Video



Biden may not have been sipping Kool-Aid on stage, but it was clear by his smug, smiling, smirky, and snearing delivery that he was trying to sell it to the American people. They drank it four years ago, Joe, but this time Americans are taking the water much more seriously.    
Biden's a decent guy but Thursday he was thrown into the quarterback's role which Obama abandoned in the Romney debate. While he moved the ball downfield at times, Biden relied on the same, status-quo playcalling --blaming everyone else for the poor performance of the team in the field. Almost on cue, Biden's finger-pointing offense sputtered. And when he should have walked off the field, he rudely tried to hog the ball. Maybe he thought the replacement refs were running the show. Whatever, Cranky Biden took too many snaps, and fumbled away a chance to make it heroically across the goal line.
..Biden interrupted Congressman Ryan 82 times in 90 minutes. The rudeness reaffirmed how the Obama administration has talked down to the American people since 2008 in a very partisan and divisive manner. It was evident in Biden's high-strung defense of Obamacare which, as Ryan countered, is not a bipartisan law, imposes 12 of 18 new taxes on the middle class, and robs Medicare recipients of $720 billion in services. Biden laughed it off. Independent voters watching at home probably didn't.

Mondoweiss founder shows he's both a self-hating Jew and an idiot

Self-hating Jew is a term that gets bandied about too easily and usually incorrectly. There are some in the pro-Israel community who apply the term as a blanket to any anti-Israel Jew. That's clearly not the case for many. In the case of a number of radical anti-Israel Jews, they are not the least bit self-hating (although if they had more self-insight, they probably should be), they are self-promoting narcissists who hate other Jews.

But in a recently published piece, Philip Weiss, the founder of Mondoweiss, a fanatically anti-Israel, nutbar leftist website, demonstrates actual Jewish anti-Semitism with idiotic conspiratorial nonsense worthy of a David Duke rant.

Writing about US Vice President Joe Biden's daughter having married a Jew, Weiss states:

 I believe people want to marry Jews because we're successful (and we are overall the wealthiest group in the U.S. by religion). People want to get ahead, people want to get in with the in crowd. Of the moderators of the Republican debates this year, most were Jewish media guys.

The stupidity of what Weiss wrote is obvious. American Christians and Jews are not subject to forced, arranged marriages common in Islamic states. They marry because they fall in love with someone, not to grasp at Jewish power and wealth. Jews are one of the most integrated, assimilated  ethnic groups, so it's no wonder there is a great deal of intermarriage.

It`s not news when a Protestant marries a Catholic of a Buddhist, but in Wesis' bigoted mind, when a member of a prominent family marries a Jew and it doesn`t make the front pages, it is part of some conspiracy or as he puts it, `one of the great bans on reporting, alas because of Jewish insecurity...But there's a lot of denial of this, because of the fear that pointing out the obvious about our social position would bring about pogroms`

The insecurity, fear and cowardice is on the part of Weiss, which might well account for why he is so desperate to endear himself to the enemies of Jews and the Jewish state.
