Olby-forgives-Biden ping to Today show list.

[RJS1950]

Of course he's a racist. He's a senior member of the party of slavery and the KKK.

[DakotaRed]

Looking closely at what Democrats often say, when not scripted, they do reveal a bit of latent bigotry.

Why else would they work so hard to convince poor Blacks they "cannot succeed, so don't even try, just accept what you're given."

[Pharmboy]

I guess he meant that the Reverends Al and Jesse were dirty.

[CMailBag]

I'm sure that's what they would say if George Allen would have said the same things.

[spikeytx86]

He's not a racist. So a senator complements a Black candidate for being clean cut (or something else) and articulate. So what if he brags that Delaware was a slave state and part of the confederacy, That does not make one a racist right? right??

[MNJohnnie]

RIGHT! Biden "made a slip" but Lott had to be burned at the stake because the Junk Media put a negative spin on his must LESS obnoxious comments.

Sorry Overliar. You don't get to have to standards here.

[muawiyah]

The MSM forgives Joe Biden for everything.

First of all he's a Democrat, but even more, he suffered unrecoverable brain injury. He was actually absent from the Senate for many months trying to recover, but failed, and came back where his problem is barely visible (given the condition of all the other senators).

The "newsies" are deathly afraid of offending Joe because they just don't know what he might do in this state.

(Spin, spin, spin, sarc, spin, spin, sarc/)

"Of course he's a racist. He's a senior member of the party of slavery and the KKK."

Well said. How about we add also that it's the party that was TOTALLY against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. And it was the Dummycrats who blocked entrance to the schools back in the 60s.

[Dog]

We should forgive him....he just can't help himself for being an idiot.

He didn't get the nickname "Slow Joe" Biden for not being fleet of foot.

[duckbutt]

Man....this was more than just uttering one word....macacca....

Let's keep this alive --

[NotSoFreeStater]

Well, Mark Levin always calls him the dumbest man in the Senate. And don't forget Biden's remarks last year about all the Indians owning Dunkin' Donuts. Seems to be a pattern... oh, never mind he's a Democrat.

[edsheppa]

whereas Olbermann and company would surely have had a field day excoriating the hapless Republican who made similar remarks.

O and co are a bunch of macacas.

[weegee]

The party that wanted to teach ebonics as a genuine second language are proud they found an "articulate" liberal half-black man. Meanwhile they ignored numerous articulate black men and women who made the "unpopular choice" of being conservative in their politics.

[popdonnelly]

I don't take anything Olbermann says seriously.

[edsheppa]

Mark, I don't think it's fair. You have one of the easiest jobs in the world. Kind of like being a stand up comedian during the Clintoon years.

[weegee]

I suspect that Biden plagiarized that Dunkin' Donuts comment from Mrs. Clinton, the Democrat who made the Ghandi's gas station joke.

[JohnLongIsland]

"the first "clean" and "articulate" black presidential candidate"

i could swear somebody wrote this before biden...
