Biden: Palin Would Be "Backward Step for Women" (with video)

[ClarkUSA]

Team Obama is getting tough and not ignoring Palin's dangerous views. I am looking forward to the VP debates!

Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) says that if Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) becomes the first female vice president it will be a "backward step for women."

Asked by a local television reporter in Milwaukee, Wisconsin if electing Palin would be a step forward for women, Biden said, "well look, I think the issue is what does Sarah Palin think? What does she believe?"

"I assume she thinks and agrees with the same policies that George Bush and John McCain think," Biden added. "And that's obviously a backward step for women."

Here is the video:

1. She would become a female Clarence Thomas.

Shatter that glass ceiling and replace it with new shatter proof glass ceiling.

3. The new glass ceiling would be a Christianist litmus test on every position in federal government.

Yikes.

20. A female Clarence Thomas...

Oh the irony.

Very funny as Biden gave us Clarence Thomas.

2. it's true!

I'm sure that the McCain campaign will be screaming "sexist!" in no time, lol.

5. It seems to me that Team Obama is not afraid of confronting the gender card after the primaries.

;)

4. Rec'd! The interviewer

asked for it! You have to go by policies of bushmccain and that would be sliding into hell..without even knowing how backward palin is.

[ClarkUSA]

10. I've been telling indie voters I am in contact with that policy-wise Palin = "Bush in a skirt"

That usually stops them dead. Then they say we really need a change from eight years of Bush and pledge to vote for Obama. ;-)

6. He is speaking the truth, a vote for her is a vote for women to lose rights we fought so hard for...

[ClarkUSA]

11. I wish Hillary would say something similar to reinforce the message tenfold.

But she seems reluctant to say anything more than, "No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin."

7. oh dear. Looks like it struck a nerve with the Repubs, judging by the youtube comments,.

even though he specified that the promotion of the McCain policies would be a step backwards for women.

[BlooInBloo]

8. Of course he's correct, but it's probably better for a woman to say it....

I can see the republican response now: "Oh looky! Another MAN telling women what's best for them!"

Of course it's stupid, but it's effective rhetoric.

:rofl:

21. As if there aren't plenty of fat, ultra-white men in $1000 suits telling her that NOW.

Foreign Policy: "Terra!"

Women's Rights: "You are breaking the glass ceiling!"

Economy: "Why, it's just peachy!"

Iraq: "John McSame was a prisoner of war!"

9. I left the pinheads in the thread a nice little rant.

stupid fuckers.

[ClarkUSA]

12. LOL! I think you left them a bit speechless.

:rofl:

[1corona4u]

14. Yeah, and I had to pare it down too....

it was too long to post in the begining....

[ClarkUSA]

16. ROFL!!!!

You need to drop by and leave YouTube comments for Obama/Biden08 more often.

You'll soon be the scourge of those Palin pinheads. :P

[ErinBerin84]

15. lol. I just added a comment too. I wonder if the link was posted on Free Republic or something.

sure seems to be all Repuked out in the comments section.

[VeraAgnes]

13. True, she, Palin, is not the leader of a womans movement

but Hillary Clinton certainly was/is my hero for womens issues. I'm sad about how things shook out in the Democratic Primaries.....My Democratic Delusional Bubble of Sainthood was busted this time around.

[barack the house]

17. And removing the choice for birth control and abstainance affects both genders. Let's go forward ->

back folks.

[seabeyond]

18. yes, thank you. for dem women PLEASE say it again joe. n/t

[chill_wind]

19. K & R! Off to the GP!

[Raffi Ella]

22. I'm looking forward to them too!

:evilgrin:

She's an unqualified extremist who has NO bussiness anywhere near the Whitehouse - She would be not just a step back for women but for mankind itself.

[Jennicut]

23. I said this to my Mom the other day who is an independent but leans Rethug

I told her Palin was such a step back for women. Glad Joe is telling it like it is.
