***UPDATE: NRO made an update to their original post that includes a slightly longer video and transcript:

We’ve learned that certain behaviors on the part of an abuser portend much more danger than other behaviors. For example, if an abuser has attempted to strangle his victim, if he has threatened to shoot her, if he has sexually assaulted her, and there’s a number of other signs, about eight others. These are tell-tale signs to say this isn’t your garden-variety slap across the face which is totally unacceptable in and of itself.

That’s a little different than the NRO made it sound in the first place. It would be nice in the future if NRO doesn’t do hatchet jobs on their videos.

 

***ORIGINAL POST BELOW***

Joe Biden gave a speech this morning introducing a new domestic-violence-reduction initiative and was talking about tell-tale signs of domestic abuse. Apparently though, you aren’t abusing your spouse as long as it’s a ‘garden-variety slap across the face’:

3..2..oh wait, a Republican didn’t say that. Nevermind.

Biden Speaks.

If someone took the time to record all of this goober's gaffe's, it would make quite a book. :)

Speaking of doing violence, everytime Joey runs off at the mouth my ears hurt. I can't stand the sound of his voice. Skeeter is no different. I tune them both out. I'd rather listen to the dulcet sounds of someone running their fingernails across a blackboard than "Buy a Shotgun" Biden.

I had a feeling there was context cut off. I've learned to trust no one, even The Right Scoop when your sharing someone else's content.

Maybe ole' Joe ought to have a beer summit with Jim Moran's son, Patrick re: his domestic abuse behavior. http://www.redstate.com/2012/12/13/jim-patrick-moran-domestic-abuse-beating-women/

Or possibly with George Soros and his ex-girlfriend on domestic abuse issues.

Looks like it's the Dems and their War on Women raising their ugly heads again.

The femenazis should be all over this.

But don't expect to hear a peep from them about it.

Has anyone noticed that good ole Joe never has to apologize for anything?

The feminists never seem to get upset with him or Bill Clinton either. Talk about being coated with Teflon!

Here's a hint Joe, fix the economy! Domestic abuse increases as the economy continues to tank, it's been studied for decades!!! You, Obama and your Congressional buddies are 100% responsible

Joe, I don't want to pee in your cornflakes, but there are female abusers too. That's probably a lot rarer, but be politically correct, okay? Don't always use "he" when talking about abusers. Thanks a heap.

Hey Joe, brace yourself and turn the other cheek, get ready for that garden variety slap. What a stupid, demoralizing thing to say.

NO slap is acceptable!

Period.

And it's sexist at the outset. If "HE" harms "HER".

He isn't your "garden variety" moron. The people who elected him should have that "garden variety" slap.

Wow. I guess we all need to brush up on the nuanced differences of domestic abuse. Good things we got folks like Crazy Joe to show us the way!

If your spouse is violent, buy a shotgun.

Buy a shotgun.

Buy a shotgun.

and technically, you have Joe's permission to use it :o)

I wish somebody would slap Biden in the face to bring him back to reality. The man gives me a swift pain somewhere a lot lower than my face.
