Vice President Joe Biden, leaving an Obama campaign office in Sarasota, singled one woman out because she had beautiful eyes, the pool reporter noted:
She said something ...at first inaudible to pool, to which VP responded was the "civil rights issue of our time"
Pool later asked the woman, Linda Carragher Bourne of Sarasota about the exchange. She said her daughter was Miss Trans New England and asked if he would help them.
"A lot of my friends are being killed, and they don't have the civil rights yet. These guys are gonna make it happen," she told the pool.
Biden has long been a vocal advocate for LGBT rights -- most memorably getting out "a little bit over his skies," as President Obama put it -- when Biden endorsed same sex marriage before the president did earlier this year.
The vice president met with LGBT leaders at his Washington, D.C., home last month, including transgender advocates, according to the Easton Patch. The Obama-Biden administration was the first to send a representative to a trans-gender conference.

To see an example of the type of situations involved in the civil rights issue of our day, I suggest a look at the article posted here a little earlier: "College Allows Transgender Man to Expose Himself to Young Girls".

Yeah Joe, and Guava Juice is just another word for Lemonade.

Good ol'd Slow Joe. Making a dumbazz comment like that. Someone should send him THIS article...
A Washington college said their non-discrimination policy prevents them from stopping a transgender man from exposing himself to young girls inside a women’s locker room, according to a group of concerned parents. “Little girls should not be exposed to naked men, period,” said David Hacker, senior legal counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom. A group of concerned parents contacted the legal firm for help. Hacker said a 45-year-old male student,who dresses as a woman and goes by the name Colleen Francis,undressed and exposed his genitals on several occasions inside the woman’s locker room at Evergreen State College. Students from nearby...
But then.... He probably sees nothing wrong with this. Typical leftist scum.

Sadly, I agree. Unless the populace starts recognizing them for who they are, this is going to get worse.

Beastiality??
I believe they do support it, after all do they not wholeheartedly support muzzies and their way of life?
To: Colonel Kangaroo
Virtually every post in the comments section was supportive of 'transgender' rights. According to the comments, I am a hopeless bigot.
An example of the posting: May the GOD of Israel bless you, Joe Biden! You are a True Humanitarian! :D
This is what happens when we reject Christ and create our own system of values.
And these people vote.
God help America!

Joe knows all about the issue and is simply waiting for his opportunity to step out of his britches.

Well Joe would know, He spends a lot of time around bathhouse barry...
Since they over used the race card against Bammy, maybe this is the next card and Joe is letting it slip early...

The official National Clown comes through again!
Can we entertain retroactive insanity disqualification for elected politicians?
How about a really late term abortion?

I will continue to discriminate against mentally defective people, whether they be fags, lesbos, trans, or liberals. Yes, liberalism is a mental disorder. To make it easier to discriminate, I just discriminate against liberals. This is a matter of self defense. If you hire one of these people you can’t fire them without the threat of a costly law suit.

Okay, the whole anecdote about meeting the young ‘woman’ with the pretty eyes, and a married VP in his 70’s noticing ‘her’.
That is very disturbing.
Joe has found himself a new low.
