SEN. BIDEN SHOCK INTERVIEW: OBAMA FIRST 'CLEAN' BLACK IN MAINSTREAM...

'I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy'...

[VRWCmember]

DOH!! Roy Campanella, not Joe Garigiola

[AD from SpringBay]

This will be another example of freedom of speech for Democrats and how we need to consider his comments in context but the next time a Conservative says anything remotely like this - he'll have to grovel on BET before resigning.

[dfwgator]

Maybe what Biden was trying to do was paint Obama as an "Uncle Tom" so the brothers wouldn't support him.

[brwnsuga]

Watching "John Q" convinced me otherwise. It was a two-hour paid DNC campaign ad.

I'll discuss your concerns with him at lunch.

[veronica]

'I mean, you got the first mainstream DEMOCRAT African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy'...

He meant to say...

[BunnySlippers]

Biden and Drudge are being misquoted by the poster.

The word FIRST is not used which would imply that previous black politicians were unclean. And it's not at all apparentl he was refering to integrity ...

[sportutegrl]

The Democrats actually are racists. They all really think like this, but project their feelings onto Republicans. And they won't see what is wrong with Biden's statement, even though it is glaringly obvious.

[Kenton]

He's obviously the senator's Favorite Negro...

[Mo1]

Joe is SUCH and idiot

[NeoCaveman]

This from the man who bragged out Delaware's past involvement with slavery and said you can't go into a Dunkin Donuts in Delaware without having a slight Indian accent.

Atleast he's consitent.

[BunnySlippers]

But Biden did not say the word FIRST.

I detest Biden but he did not say what is being quoted. FR gets a bad rep from this kinda stuff IMO.

[SMARTY]

Ain't it amazn' Just like actors. None of these clowns can function without a script. And THEY bash President Bush for his style.

The President sometimes, stumbles over words... NOT basic ideas!

[freedomfiter2]

Has Joe been hanging around with Byrd a lot lately?

[silverleaf]

Ouch Joe that's gotta leave a mark.

Former Black presidential candidates Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Carole Mosely Braun are not gonna like being called "unclean" (ie, corrupt) and those other things. Even though it is true it is a gentleman's agreement among liberals that for those on the left, no one mentions it.

What happened to Joe to get him to open up like this? Someone slip GHB in his coffee?

[tiredoflaundry]

This is just delicious!

[rface]

DUmmies just posted a thread to discuss.....I'd be interested to watch the reaction.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

What are you talking about? The word "first" is absolutely in the quote.

[onyx]

It would be less painful to watch Biden shoot himself in the head than read this verbal suicide.

But not nearly as much fun.

[MichiganConservative]

This incident just reminds me: The KKK is the terroist wing of the Democrat Party.

[Fresh Wind]

"There are white niggers. I've seen a lot of white niggers in my time."

If this didn't end Sheets' career, Biden's racist remark won't end his.
