OMG ! This could cost the democrats the election.

Biden's "gaffe" over chains will haunt the ticket right through election day.!
Is there anyone more full of shit than the jokes the gop sends out to do the Sunday talk shows.? Just watched the b team on "Weekends with Alex Witt".
Whoever her fill in is, he's pretty weak.
If the repukes aren't challenged every time they spew this shit, they will continue to do it and make a commercial showing the msnbc host sucking his thumb.

...I think "Eh, I don't know if that's true."

Then something like this happens.

Seriously? This Biden analogy (one that Repigs have used for things in the past) is going to do THAT much damage?

SERIOUSLY?

Republicans don't want black Americans in chains.

They want black Americans out of the voting booth and into the back of the bus.

And I disagree about the MSM wanting to keep it close. If Rmoney were way ahead they would spend hours talking about how "the election is over" and "what will Rmoney's first 100 days be like?"

for telling this 1StrongBlackMan what do be offended by!

I mean ... If they hadn't told me that Biden was talking racist talk and saying that Biden was saying that the gop wanted Black folks in chains, I would have taken it as by removing the regulations on wallstreet would lead to all working class people being further exploited.

Thank you gop!

We have already moved on to Paul Ryan's dreamy blue eyes and 6-pack abs. Joe who?

These media assholes can't even keep track of which bullshit they're shoving down our throats.

The fact that R/R want to roll back all regulations on the banksters.
That was Biden was talking about. How much easier is it for the lazy-assed journalists to talk about the word chains than it is to talk about more deregulation?

wants to turn the 99% into serfs just like the way it was in Pre-Revolutionary Russia when the 1% owned everything and the people were serfs that served the 1%. Biden's comment has nothing to do with racism but economic slavery.
