Biden speaks to NAACP

So Joe Biden (Plugs the Plagiarist) recently gave a speech to the NAACP. The crowd applauded when Biden stated (correctly) that society has an obligation to care for the least fortunate among us. He then went on to imply that his side cares more about the down-trodden than my side.

Hmmm.

Last year, Biden reported $319,000 in income. He gave a whopping, wait for it, $995 to charity. When Biden released 10 years of income tax returns, his average annual charitable donation was $369. What a philanthropist. I guess when you spend all your money on hair plugs, it doesn't leave much for charity.

And he has no problem standing at a podium and wagging his finger at conservatives for not caring about the poor.

Unbelievable. These people are simply unbelievable. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds, and they have no shame. No shame whatsoever.

Just like most other politicians: "Do as I say, not as I do."

Obama and Biden just want to redistribute other people's money-not their own!

Look, Biden doesn't represent all Democrats... I know plenaty of truly generous liberals, and obviously there are conservatives who are cheapskates.

What bothers me is that despite the obvious fact that Biden is a world-class cheapskate, he sees nothing wrong with standing at a microphone and claiming that liberals have the moral high ground when it comes to charity. Not only is there zero poroof of that, there is considerable evidence that it's conservatives who give donate more money and time to charity than liberals. See this study, called Who Really Cares...here's a review of the study by abc news, which is not known to be a mouthpiece for conservatives.

Who Gives and Who Doesn't? - ABC News

America is the most generous country on Earth, and neither side has a monopoly on compassion. But you cannot watch MSNBC, on any night of the week, without hearing several hosts and guests talk about the fact that conservatives only care about rich people, and that liberals are the ones who care aboutthe little guy.
