So It’s OK To Be Racist….If You’re A Liberal? Joe Biden’s Latest Gaffe

This week Senator Joe Biden of Delaware announced his candidacy for President. On the same day he stuck his foot in his mouth making this comment about fellow Democratic candidate Barrack Obama: “You got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” WOW! Sounds pretty racist doesn’t it? Obama is the first black to run for President who is “articulate, bright, and clean?” Obviously you would expect past African-American Presidential hopefuls to be up in arms, right? Wrong. Biden gets a pass because he’s a Liberal….it’s as simple as that.

Obama’s comment was:

"I didn't take Sen. Biden's comments personally, but obviously they were historically inaccurate. African-American presidential candidates like Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton gave a voice to many important issues through their campaigns, and no one would call them inarticulate.”

Likewise, Jesse Jackson, a past Presidential candidate said, “Knowing Joe Biden the way I do, I'm sure he didn't mean it as off-color.” OF COURSE he didn’t mean it off-color, Jesse! I guess Jackson doesn’t mind being called a dumb, ugly, black guy….as long as it’s a Liberal doing it.

This isn’t Biden’s first time to say something stupid….In June 2006, he made this statement about the overflow of Indian-Americans: "You cannot go into a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. Oh, I'm not joking.”Incidentally, Biden ran for President in 1988, but bowed out when it was discovered that he was plagiarizing some of his speeches. This time around, I’m pretty sure Mickey Mouse will get more votes as a “write-in” candidate than Biden will get…but that’s beside the point. Biden is a notoriously arrogant, East Coast Liberal who has a tendency to “ham it up” when the cameras are rolling. The fact that his Presidential hopes went up in smoke on the same day he announced them is poetic justice to say the least. But here’s the sad reality…

Imagine if a CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN had made the statements Biden did. If someone like Sam Brownback had called all past black Presidential candidates dumb, dirty, and ugly we’d never hear the end of it. I guarantee you, if Brownback would have said it Jackson, Al Sharpton, Obama, and everyone in Washington would have demanded Brownback’s immediate resignation…and called for him to enter “sensitivity training” of some sort. But different rules apply for Liberals….

Biden issued a typical “non-apology, apology” for his statements saying, “I’m sorry if I offended anyone….” In other words I’m not admitting anything wrong, but I must issue the standard apology for the sake of my personal agenda. Biden pretty much admitted his apology was phony a little later when he said, “I really regret that some have taken totally out of context my use of the world 'clean.'” In other words, those who called him on his stupid comment are really at fault because they took his racist remarks, “out of context.” Nice try, Joe. But the context is clear….You said something stupid, and now you’re too arrogant and prideful to simply admit it. But that’s OK….the Liberal hierarchy, including most of the National Press, will let you get away with it. You can be as Racist as you want, as long as you're Liberal…..just don’t EVER, EVER let anyone catch you making “Conservative” comments. Then you’re assured an all out assault from the Left-Wing Loons that permeate our Nation’s Capital. A double-standard is alive and well in America…and this is just the latest example of it.

My thoughts, for what they’re worth…
