Biden: Voters "having a difficult time" electing first African American president
abcnews.com ^ | 10/19/08 | Matthew Jaffe

Posted on 10/19/2008 11:02:06 AM PDT by 1curiousmind

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: As Election Day looms just over two weeks away, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said Saturday that with Republicans firing "vicious" and "dangerous" attacks at Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., voters are "having a difficult time" opting for the man who would become the nation's first African American president.

"Undecided people are having a difficult time just culturally making the change, making the move for the first African American president in the history of the United States of America," the Democratic vice-presidential nominee said at a San Francisco fundraiser Saturday evening. "So we need to respond. We need to respond at the moment, immediately, not wait, not hang around, not assume any of this won't stick."

"You see these vicious attacks on Barack's character," Biden told supporters. "I mean, this is dangerous stuff these guys are doing. This stuff is on the edge. It's on the edge. You know, there's some folks out there in the community nationwide that aren't as stable as others. It's a very small minority. But having these rallies where people are showing up saying, you know, the things they're saying - I don't even want to repeat them -- it's not a healthy thing."

Imagine if its this easy to shut down political opposition and Free Speech ... What will they say when the ONE is President and some portions of America disagree with his radical socialist change...

We will all be guilty of Hate crimes... and shut down for the good of the state.

Obama is not a trancendent racial figure he is bringing Race to a new level.

When Obama Policies are failures it will be balmed on Bush ... When unemployment reaches 30 percent and the Pain index is back it will still be bush’s fault and in the end when the Conservatives try to stand up against the Welfare State of Socialism we will be labled Racists and bigots.

this is why WRight is the most important issue of our time. If Obama thinks like Wright which is most likely then America is Doomed. Stand by Whitey cause you doin time on the Obama Plantation.

My Daddy, who knew Colin Powell back in the day, said that he was a closet racist then and by endorsing Obama has come out of that closet.

I so admired him back in the day, but Daddy said he covertly showed racism and everyone treated him with deference and kid gloves.

It’s sad, too, because Obama has NO ties to Black Americans. He’s Arab first by virtue of his names. He’s only black in skin color. MLK, Jr, would whole-heartedly disapprove of Obama. It wouldn’t surprise me if MLK, Jr, would have admonished Black Americans to shut their eyes and listen to what Obama says instead of looking at him and only seeing “the color black.”

Keep talking Biden, must be another one of those cowardly “bitter Americans” comments your coward campaign has to fly you to San Francisco to say. No wonder Sarah said she’d rather be in the Pro-America parts of the country, not where you are.

Joe, YOU seem to be the unstable one here, buddy. How many lettters in J-O-B-S?

I think people are starting to focus on the election and they don't like Ayers, taxes, threats to Zionists, meetings with dictators and terrorists, cluelessness, etc....

Biden pulling the race card again. We will hear this over and over again until election day. The Dems are trying to keep their base in line and influence independents with the message, if you don’t vote for Obama, you are a racist.

How will this possibly attract the independents. Sounds like a big turn off to me.

OK, fine...so, like calling me a racist is going to make me change my mind and my vote?

Let’s try it and see....

“HALE!!!! YOU’RE A DAMNED RACIST CRACKER!!!!”

{crickets chirrping...frog croaking somewhere...silence...somehwere a baby cries, off in the distance... out in the yard, a dog takes a giant dump, whining like a liberal faced with a Bible}

Nope...didn’t work.

Still not voting for Oblabma...

Boy...THAT was an effective tactic, wasn’t it?

Just another dumb ass Democrat race-baiting tactic.

Hey Joe Biden - go the hell back to Delaware and get another face lift and a butt lift too - your ass is pulling up so tight you look like you have Chinese eyes now!!

DAMN YOU HALE!!! THERE YOU GO AGAIN DAMNIT!!! THAT’S DAMNED RACIST!

Nope...still not changing my vote...

Love hearing them whine.

F**k ‘em. Damned stupid democrat commie punk-ass chumps.

Looking forward to the election and watching this sorry-ass Chicago metrosexual thugpunk go down in flames.

{Wonder if, when we’re not looking, he wears his pants half-way down and ...}

HALE!!!! DAMNIT!!! THERE YOU GO AGIN!@!!!!!

Well, I hope you and Dick are right this time. If you’re wrong we’re going to be in for a very bad situation.

I’ve got a new line for the Obamorons. I simply tell them that I spent 13 years as active duty military fighting against communists and I’m not about to vote for one!

“Biden is pretty much telling us that the Obama camp is concerned, regardless of the public polls.”

Obama’s internals are either sagging or crumbling. He's been hurting all weekend. They are in a panic becasue McCain is building momentum. The pollmiesters are tripping over themselves to find some Obama momentum but its going against The O.

Joe the Plumber and the relentless Sarah Palin are really damaging Obama. Plus, all of this ACORN stuff and the communist stuff is starting to soak in.

Add Powell's endorsement and folks are really going to have to start to wonder whether Obama is still in the lead. Nobody wants a veto-proof Democrat Congress, a packed Supreme Court and a Marxist president. That's asking too much.

the "Race Card" campaign has begun: Colin Powell, Joe Biden.

Well all of them can stick a sock in it.

Americans generally are not racists. Look around you. And you will see that if racism exists, it is helathy and well heeled in the Democrat Party.

But the problem is that this is a diversion to the real issues that Obama has lurking in his shadowy background, which remains unexposed becase of an MSM that has become anti American, and anti-1st amendment.

Now when is someone going to hold the Obama campaign accountable for playing the " Race Card?"

How about FOX or CNN?

Buahahahahahahaha!

We will hold them accountable by our vote!

I thought he was so far ahead in the polls that it was already over, and there is no need for an election. What’s this all about?

But of course! That goes without saying. I'm going to be just as nice as I can until they do something which warrants me drawing my sidearm, or retrieving the M4 and then it's gonna get ugly fast. But until that time, I'll do everything to make sure that they have no reason to suffer any number of sudden derangement syndromes....even though they're always on the verge.

There's no reason to give away tactical or strategic advantages until necessary! :-) Besides, being nice to them really pisses them off. :-)
