Did Joe Biden cheat on an exam?

[bindersen]

I seem to remember that...What was that all about?

[trumad]

1. Try Google....

or better yet go do a search at Free Republic.

[hlthe2b]

2. I think he failed the

FREEPER exam and stated he could have only passed (had he really wanted to), if he cheated......:eyes:

[chiburb]

3. And if he did?

Is he running for president? Why are you curious? Do you google?

[liberalnurse]

4. Yea; he did......,

He cheated on his catechism exam......the Pope won't let him take communion now.

[Wickerman]

5. Once in grade school he reportedly took "cuts" in the line

for lunch. The witnesses aren't very reliable.

Uh, to your question - what was the point? Google should be able to tell you the facts, but for why?

7. He peeked when comparing Coke and Pepsi

Very damaging.

[liberalnurse]

10. OMG....

He cheated on the Pepsi Challenge!:freak:

[wryter2000]

8. Luckily you asked the person who knows everything

:evilgrin:

The charge was that while he was a student at Syracuse University he'd plagiarized another student's paper.

Now, this is interesting, because he would have been there at around the same time I was. And on my very first day on campus, Chancellor William (Wild Bill) Tolley rounded the whole freshman class into a huge chapel on campus and ranted on and on for about 10 minutes about how plagiarism would not be tolerated. He told us in no uncertain terms that if we were caught at it, we'd be tossed out on our butts.

If Biden had done that, he would not have graduated. Period.

[wurzel]

9. I think he was accused of plagiarism.

He used part of a UK Prime Minister's speech. Something to do with being the first in his family to go to University.

[AlCzervik]

12. here is a link to that charge

[wurzel]

21. Yes. That's it. Thanks. I didn't know about the law school.

[Owlet]

11. He supposedly plagarized..

....from a speech given by the leader of the British Labor Party, Neil Kinnett I think the guy's name was. It was 20 or so years ago, so I'm a bit hazy on the details, but it sort of sunk a presidential bid he had going at the time.

[Richardo]

14. Hey good memory, Owlet!

I remembered the incident but not NEARLY the details. Kudos!

and welcome to DU! :toast:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. Kinnock. Though Biden would've been better to do Blair.

Birds of a feather and all that.

[AP]

20. Neil Kinnock was his name...

[madinmaryland]

13. He plagiarized some Brit's campaign speech.

I think it was in the 80's.

[trumad]

16. The question is:

did he cheat on an exam.... I hate when posters post this type of crap... Because, it takes 3 seconds to google... I personally feel that it's pure flame bait.

[bindersen]

23. sorry for upsetting you

i googled, but only found dubious articles, so I turned to the informed DU community to get the facts right, and they delievered. :) I like this guy, I wouldn't have mind seeing him as a presidential candidate in the future.

[liberalnurse]

26. You sure do have a smelly way of

communicating your preferences.


Your not with the program are you?

[bindersen]

27. What do you mean? Smelly?

Not with the program?

[liberalnurse]

29. Come on now......

you can figure that much out......:think:

[bindersen]

30. What?!? I'm new here, don't roll your eyes on me please

That I don't support Kerry is that it? I don't know what you mean...I'm not even American.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

31. Take it easy. Some here think that all Dems are above criticism.

Even half-witted BushPals like Biden.

[Ripley]

37. I find it rather unusual...

That a Norwegian would know or care so much about Karl Rove and Joe Biden. But I was flamed by many other DUers for asking the question.

Sometimes the gullibility here is staggering.

[bindersen]

38. This is ludicrous

What exactly are you implying? Gullibility? Yes, I am Norwegian, and yes I am interested in American politics. What's wrong about that?

[liberalnurse]

40. The tone of your posts, subject matter

is always "flame bait".

You asked, I told you as nicely as I can without getting my reply deleted.

[bindersen]

44. I see,

you think I am in here trying to get ppl kicked out? OK, glad that I know what you are accusing me for now at least. I still find it ridiculous, but I will try to "improve" my posts then. OK? :)

[liberalnurse]

39. I second that motion!

[bindersen]

41. I am just curious

what exactly are you implying? What exactly is the problem here???

[Ripley]

42. Bait much?

You must be a politician, because frankly how many other Norwegians know who the hell Joe Biden is? Tell me, do you know all Congress people in the American government? Do you study them? Why do you ask this obscure question about a Dem? Why don't you know ask about the puke depravities?

[bindersen]

46. Well, I could start bashing repubs of course

I hate them, I was just curious about this that's all, and knowing this great community abit, I thought I would ask here, and I got many good replies and more knowledge. Nothing more to it really, so you can calm down. :) And btw, Biden is quite known (at least in my circles) being one of the most prominent democrats in the senate.

[Ripley]

47. LOL.

I really hate it when people tell me to "calm down." For what? Asking you a few questions that you didn't answer?

Biden is quite known as a prominent democrat. Hah. Didn't you also suggest that the Dems should have run Robert Byrd as a presidential candidate? You clearly aren't following our politics as closely as you think.

[bindersen]

48. What questions have I not answered?

I am just telling u to calm down for accusing me of being here to get ppl kicked out. Why should I do that, that's stupid.

And yes, Biden is a prominent democrat, at least here, probably because he deals with foreign policy in the senate. Of course, Rob Byrd couldn't run as a pres candidate, he is close to 90 isn't he? It was just a fun thought I think, I agree with alot of what he says. But I would be the first to agree that you know alot more about am. politics than I do, afterall I'm not American, but not everyone can be perfect eh? :D

[Tempest]

15. He cheated on a physical exam

He didn't turn his head when he coughed.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. Maybe. But, he got A+ for camera hugging.

He should stick hair commercials. More a match for his brain power. He and Holy Joe must have some sort of camera attracting scent they emit. It can't possibly be because they ever say anything useful to say. Other than to the Repugs.

[Penner]

19. Joe Biden

I don't know and I don't care. I just don't like or trust Joe Biden.

[Bunny]

34. Why not? Does he look "French" or something? n/t

[geek tragedy]

22. Ted Kennedy was the cheater--Biden just lifted some lines from

a speech.

[AmandaRuth]

24. please

i am curious what your motivation is to ask this question?

[Bunny]

36. bindersen asks a lot of questions like these.

Do a search, you'll see.

[Freddie Stubbs]

25. He commited plagirism in a speech

Probably not done by him, since few politicians have the time to write their own speeches.

[Toby109]

28. It was a metaphyshical exam

He looked into the soul of the boy next to him-(Woody Allen)

[chiburb]

32. Yep. Stayed up all night practicing for a urine test....n/t

[Kathy in Cambridge]

33. Kurt Nilsen, is that you?

[bindersen]

35. haha, you funny one. I'm living in the same city as Kurt though :)

[stanwyck]

43. And this is what you're worried about?

Thousands are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. Our middle-class is under siege due to lost jobs and increasing costs. Our public schools don't have adequate staff, training, or supplies. There are a myriad of critical causes for thinking people to tackle. And this is your concern?
We really are becoming a simple-minded nation.

[MichiganVote]

45. I hope so. I cheated in Biology. I hate being alone.
