Remember the line “if you can remember the 1960s, you weren’t really there”? It got support Tuesday from the Democratic presidential front-runner, born 1942. According to a video posted by the Republican National Committee “war room,” former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., campaigning in Iowa on Tuesday, placed two of the 1960s most iconic events — the weeks-apart assassinations of Robert Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King — in the wrong decade.

Captain - Fire all of your cruise missiles at Iraq - immediately! Oh wait, did I say Iraq? I meant Iran. Why is everybody over there named Hussein and Mohammed?

He's only off by 10 years. Joe is just nostalgic for the days when The Village People were topping the charts.

Sure we recall it. That was back when Biden was VP. Biden had just returned from a meeting with Obama when news of the MLK assassination blasted over the news.

They were exhumed and summarily shot for good measure.

Remember how shocked I was when Bush I got the date wrong for the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor. Assuming that SloJoe is the nominee his VEEP is the person who would be the real POTUS if the demoncraps can steal the election. The guy needs easier questions such as in what year did the war of 1812 begin? What Injun tribe is the state of Delaware named for? In what state is New York, New York found? What is the color of black snakes? Whoops that has racial implications.

In Joe's mind it's all OK, because, as we all know, " for the times, they are a changin' "

Or, on Earth One, in 1968. Since I was there, and I still have all my marbles, I remember what year it was.

I would call Sleepy Joe an ignoramus, but that would be an insult to all the innocent ignoramuses out there.

Joe, you are entering a wondrous world not only of sight and sound, but of mind and imagination. A journey from which there is no return. The sign post up ahead says “you are entering the twilight zone.”

As long as Biden's living in the late 70s and has no historical clue, he should try this in his next speech:
"Over? Over? My campaign isn't over. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

Joey needs an immediate appointment with Google. He desperately needs a software tune-up.

Clearly, Biden has memory lapse issues. I'm 83, and I remember with horror MLK's and RFK's assassinations like they were yesterday. Or it's worse, he is a total fabulist, who can't separate historical fact from imagination.

Is this what he meant when he said we want truth, not facts, or something along those lines?

#10: I thought it was the Amish that bombed Pearl Harbor. No really, a friend of mine told a millennial that and she believe him. Schools don't teach history anymore. We are doomed to repeat it.

If Biden had any competitors that were halfway honest and competent, he would be toast. It just goes to show how far the Democratic party has fallen, but one of them will eventually run for President against Trump. What a sick joke.

FTA: ''Up to that time remember — none of you women would know this, but a couple of men may remember — that was a time, in the early, late 60s and the early 60s and 60s, where it was ‘drop out,’ go to ‘Haight Ashbury,’ ‘don’t get engaged,’ ‘don’t trust anyone over 30,’ ” he went on to say.'
Umm Joe, what in hell does THAT mean? Are you saying women are STUPID??? Look in a mirror, Bub.

It's even worse than that.
Joe meant the 1870s.

I can't make up excuses for Joe B but... when Obama said he had visited all 57 states, and when he repeatedly called Navy Corpsmen "corpsemen" , or calling something a breathalyzer instead of something to help with breathing... he got a pass. Still Obama tells everyone how tough the press was on him. Name one.

Joe's six pack is missing a couple of cans -- his recall travels more in the hysterical lane than the historical one!
Sometime before he reaches his 2020 vision(pun intended) he most likely will run off the road and kill the truth fairy.

Lazy, sleepy Joe just wants the be President for the prestige. He will most likely sit back and leave the hard work to others. I shudder at the thought of who will be the real power behind the throne. Heaven help us, if he chooses Hillary for VP!

This is nothing but a crude reminder by the Democrats of the racially heated Civil Rights era. Their hope is to substantiate their false claim of racism against our president. But they forget that the racism of that day was inflamed by Democrats, and that it was Republicans who passed civil rights legislation.

Joe Biden cannot be fixed.
But thanks to today's 'teachers' the younger generations can't even discern that he's lost in his petrified mind.

Mr. Biden must be baffled by some people actually now paying attention to what he says. For decades he spouted whatever popped into his head and other than his, "Oh, she's dead? God bless her", moments, no one - no one - took him seriously. He got away with misstating names, dates, places, and events and the press and public just laughed him off. Barack Obama even chose him for VP as insurance - Barack knew that he was safe as long as "Uncle Joe" was in the wings.
Now, Joe Biden is running for President and America is faced with the real possibility of people choosing to vote for a bloviating, lying, corrupt, mentally compromised man who has an inflated sense of his abilities and importance. (And, anti-Trumpers, please do not even think of making any bad comparisons here)..
To allow him to continue with this charade is both sad and dangerous.

Just stop and think about this, folks: Obama & Biden running the most important country in the world for eight years. Neither capable of constructing a single correct English sentence. Obama's TV crew cost 12 million annually so he could speak to first graders. Biden unable to remember the date of Christmas. I don't blame these idiots. It has always been the democratidiots who ran slavery and our major city disasters!

The average Dem voter neither knows nor cares in what decade RFK and MLK were killed. Biden was morally right, even if he was semantically incorrect.
