A Transcript of Biden's Speech in Scranton

I was lucky enough to be able to get a copy of Joe Biden's speech that he will be giving in Scranton Pa on Saturday, October 11, 2008. I was not supposed to publish the transcript of it until after he had given it. What can I say? I'm a right wing devil.

Good afternoon, it sure feels good to be back home, right here in Scranton Pennsylvania. Recently, the McCain campaign has resorted to the same old dirty tricks we've come to expect. Spreading truths and raising questions about certain terrorists that have relationships with Barack Obama. My friends, I've met Bill Ayers, Bill Ayers was a friend of mine, and Barack Obama is no Bill Ayers.

I have heard that Governor Palin has referred to The Obama Truth Squads as the Brown Shirts. She is obviously trying to compare them to the groups of men that went around neighborhoods in the Soviet Union right before World War I. I tell you folks, there is just no similarity between the groups and frankly, I'm not sure where her opinion comes from. After all, Obama's Truth squads are only trying to restrict what people say and think under threat of imprisonment. The Brown Shirts she is referring to, did that and vandalized homes and businesses. Our Squads are not authorized to damage property. There you go again, Governor Palin, misstating the facts.

The other side is also trying to point out that Obama's Tax plan is unfair. I ask them, how do you even know what his tax plan is when even Barack doesn't know? Sure, we've talked about only raising taxes on the top 5%, cutting everybody else's taxes, and increasing spending by almost a trillion dollars. But we have never said how we would pay for it!!!! America, Read my lips, a lot of new taxes!!!!!!

John McCain said at the debate that Barack Obama was telegraphing his punches. I say even if you get knocked down, you have to get up you son of a bitch, because Micky loves ya.

John McCain went on to criticize Barack Obama for wanting to sit down and talk to Terror Sponsoring Leaders. Is that a bad idea? Of course it depends on what your definition of "Is" is. Senator Obama just wants to tear down that wall!!

In conclusion, remember, ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you!! May your unspecified, non-denominational, higher power, bless America. Thank you.
