Joe Biden to Father of Former Navy SEAL Killed in Benghazi: ‘Did Your Son Always Have Balls the Size of Cue Balls?’

Oct. 25, 2012 7:19pm Jason Howerton

UPDATE:

A bombshell new report says that the SEALS were told to “stand down” when they heard gunshots at the ambassador’s compound, and that three requests for aid were denied. get the shocking details here.

Editor’s note: We discussed all of the breaking developments on Friday’s live BlazeCast:

Original story below.

–

The father of one of the former Navy SEALs killed in the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya says President Barack Obama wouldn’t even look him in the eye and Vice President Joe Biden was disrespectful during the ceremony when his son’s body returned to America. He also says the White House’s story on the attack doesn’t pass the smell test.

Charles Woods, father of Tyrone Woods, called into “The Glenn Beck Program” on TheBlazeTV Thursday and recounted his interactions with the president, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Biden at the ceremony for the Libya victims at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. He told host Glenn Beck that what they told him, coupled with new reports that indicate the Obama administration knew very good and well, almost immediately, that a terrorist attack was occurring in Benghazi, make him certain that the American people are not getting the whole truth.

Vice President Biden, as he has become known to do, reportedly made a wildly inappropriate comment to the father who had just lost his hero son.

Woods said Biden came over to his family and asked in a “loud and boisterous” voice, “Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?”

“Are these the words of someone who is sorry?” said Woods.

The grieving father also described his brief encounter with President Obama during the ceremony for the Libya victims.

“When he finally came over to where we were, I could tell that he was rather conflicted, a person who was not at peace with himself,” Woods said. “Shaking hands with him, quite frankly, was like shaking hands with a dead fish. His face was pointed towards me but he would not look me in the eye, his eyes were over my shoulder.”

“I could tell that he was not sorry,” he added. “He had no remorse.”

Beck said he wanted to give the president “the benefit of the doubt,” and asked Woods how he could be sure that Obama wasn’t just uncomfortable or nervous during their conversation. Woods said it was Obama’s “demeanor.”

Hillary Clinton’s comments to Woods raise even more questions about the White House’s official story on the Benghazi attack, which has already been extremely inconsistent.

After apologizing for his loss, Woods said Clinton told him that the U.S. would “make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.”

Obviously, Clinton was referring to the anti-Muslim YouTube video that the Obama administration spent nearly two weeks blaming for the attack. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice, Clinton and the president himself all blamed the video at various points. Beck pointed out that the White House is now trying to claim that it has always considered terrorism as the cause of the attack.

“When she said that, I could tell that she was not telling me the truth,” Woods said about Clinton.

Watch part I of the interview with Beck here via TheBlazeTV:

Reading another State Department email that further calls into question the U.S. response to the attack, Beck revealed that the U.S. government was made aware that the compound in Benghazi was under attack by “mortar fire,” hardly a sign of a spontaneous protest.

“The question that I had in my mind,” Woods replied, “was why did we not do something to protect our forces?”

“We didn’t even dispatch anybody,” Beck lamented.

“You released the information that the White House within minutes of the attack, watched in real time the events unfolding,” Woods told Beck earlier in the program. “They denied the pleas for help and they watched my son die.”

Woods went on to read the following statement, in honor of his son:

“I want to honor my son, Ty Woods, who responded to the cries for help and voluntarily sacrificed his life to protect the lives of other Americans. In the last few days it has become public knowledge that within minutes of the first bullet being fired the White House knew these heroes would be slaughtered if immediate air support was denied. Apparently, C-130s were ready to respond immediately. In less than an hour, the perimeters could have been secured and American lives could have been saved. After seven hours fighting numerically superior forces, my son’s life was sacrificed because of the White House’s decision. This has nothing to do with politics, this has to do with integrity and honor. My son was a true American hero. We need more heroes today. My son showed moral courage. This is an opportunity for the person or persons who made the decision to sacrifice my son’s life to stand up.”

Tears in his eyes, Beck told Woods that his son was not even there for security purposes but after hearing cries for help he voluntarily protected his fellow Americans, knowing his life would be put in danger. Beck called Tyrone Woods a “hero” multiple times throughout the show.

“I am sorry for your loss, and I know there are millions of Americans that are sorry for your loss,” Beck concluded.

Obama is still arrogant because he has accomplished exactly what he wanted his first term, the first big step towards destroying the US of A. He hasnt failed, if you were out to destroy a country, what else could you possibly do, Obama hasnt already done? If he gets another term, we will see an end to term limits, presidential ones anyways.

There isn’t anything that can be said to take away this family’s loss. I’m sorry and thank you for your son’s sacrifice just doesn’t seem to cut it.
All I can say to them is that we are doing all that can be done put a man of moral character into office to replace the POS in there at the moment so that no other military parent has to experience this cold fish, with his dead eyes and form letters of “condolence” ever again. May God’s grace shine upon America!

The father is a better man than I. I would have slapped Biden if it had been my son. And our dear Secretary of State, using this, of all times, to spread the video lie. I cannot find the words to express my disgust.

  Well, if you use formal logic then the “or both” is implied. :)

It would have taken every fiber of my being not to take a swing at the man! Mr Woods is a good man! His son a real patriot. I thank the Dad for raising him well and the son for serving his country even though it did not serve him in the end. Those on active duty! This is words of advice for you. Do not trust what comes out of the mouths of your democratic leaders. The republicans were called all sorts of vile things but they never did anything remotely like this.

  Chief,
  Yourself and Mr.Woods are a better man than I. If he had made that comment about my son that had just given his life for his country and protecting the lives of others, I would have fed him his BALLS right then and there! And, if the SS wanted to send me to the lord with my son, so be it! NO ONE would disrespect the memory of my son in the way this POS did.! Period!
  
  My prayers go out to ALL the families that lost love ones in this terrible act.

How sad is it that the GOP picked such a loser in Romney. This election should be a land slide victory for anyone that isnt a socialist or gaffe machine.

If Romney loses, the GOP establishment has no one to blame but themselves.

  And just, exactly, does that have to do with the actions of Obama, Biden and Clinton with respect to the Benghazi attack and their reprehensible actions?

This is heartbreaking. I wish I could shake this father’s hand. I wish I could guarantee him the certainty of throwing Ty’s Commander in Chief out of office…preferably dishonorably.

Joe Biden is like a brainless robot (JoeBot) on the loose. He has a connection or two crossed. He may be getting some kind of brain disease, sure enough.

Folks.

Once a loser, always a loser. Meet O-dumber & Biden.

Remember how they have treated our armed forces since Korea. They don’t care!

Fotunately for us, men of honor like Ty typically are men of action and are driven to protect those in need. Many of them like Ty end up in the military. I’m not sure where political animals like Obama come from.
