Media Buries Biden Daughter’s Alleged Cocaine Use

Cocaine is a dangerous drug. It has horrible effects on families. These consequences can be concealed when the family in question is wealthy and well connected. Joe Biden’s daughter’s alleged drug use should be a huge story.

Here’s why:

The War on Drugs has been a horrible injustice executed largely against the poor and “regular folks”. And Joe Biden has been a shameless lifelong police statist cheerleader for the drug war. America is not run by a royal family. If our “representatives” are going to subject the unwashed masses to extreme breeches of 4th Amendment rights, shouldn’t Ms. Biden, Al Gore’s son, and any other elite offspring be subjected to the same?

The news networks fuel endless speculation about “alleged” baby-killing moms, so the mere possibility of a video tape of Ms. Biden snorting lines should be enough to go on. I’m talking to you Nancy Grace.

Every night, every local news broadcast in every major city reports on the drug war without even mentioning it. No context is given to the endless shootings, home invasions, dead grandmothers, dead police officers that accompanies Joe’s war on drugs and Ashley’s alleged demand for them.

As Radley Balko at Reason says:

Biden has sponsored more damaging drug war legislation than any Democrat in Congress. Hate the way federal prosecutors use RICO laws to take aim at drug offenders? Thank Biden. How about the abomination that is federal asset forfeiture laws? Thank Biden. Think federal prosecutors have too much power in drug cases? Thank Biden. Think the title of a “Drug Czar” is sanctimonious and silly? Thank Biden, who helped create the position (and still considers it an accomplishment worth boasting about). Tired of the ridiculous steroids hearings in Congress? Thank Biden, who led the effort to make steroids a Schedule 3 drug, and has been among the blowhardiest of the blowhards when it comes to sports and performance enhancing drugs. Biden voted in favor of using international development aid for drug control (think plan Columbia, plan Afghanistan, and other meddling anti-drug efforts that have only fostered loathing of America, backlash, and unintended consequences). Oh, and he was also the chief sponsor of 2004’s horrendous RAVE Act.

Joe, your war is lost. After all the bloody side effects of your good intentions are tallied, your daughter still (allegedly) has a straw up her nose. And you probably aren’t even that concerned about it. Thats what rich, Ivy League kids do and possibly what her daddy did as well. And you don’t think for one second that she should be locked up for her youthful mistakes, do you Joe? Of course not. You aren’t up there writing laws to destroy YOUR family, those rules are for the rest of us dumb guys!

Who Can What? Joe Biden can destroy your family for your kids’ mistakes. And allegedly Ashley and the spawns of the elite believe that its worth the risks that others take to deliver the party.

This story is the perfect illustration of how sick drug policy is in America.
