Aside from his classless remarks about Senator Clinton and John Edwards, he had this to say about Senator Barack Obama: "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Needless to say, that's the one the media went with and splashed all over the place.

It ranks up there with Biden's lil' ethnic joke about Americans of Indian heritage and 7-11's,

Now, Senator Obama decided to go Biden one better:

He released a statement seizing on Biden's use of the word `articulate'.

"I didn't take Sen. Biden's comments personally, but obviously they were historically inaccurate," Obama said. "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."

Most of the people he cited could be described as greedy, corrupt, self serving, parasitic, racist and anti-Semitic maybe..but not,G-d forbid, inarticulate!

These, along with another self serving bigot and anti-Semite, Malcolm X appear to be Senator Obama's heroes and role models. And that says everything about him that I or any other decent American should need to know.


Hey, I always hoped Joe Biden would turn out to be good for something besides a few cheap giggles. It appears he's inadvertently outed another bigot hoping to sneak into the White House.

*sigh*

This is all I ever see and do anymore.

Yeah, I kind of noticed in the other thread.

I like Jay Leno's comments about Biden's remarks.
"As the people wait to see when will Biden check himself into Rehab, It looks like we've got the worlds record for shortest Presidental Campaign... 7 hours!"

That Jay Leno and his jaw. :p

Glad I'm not American. I'd hate for you to tell me what I need to know to be decent.

Why argue with someone who wont change their mind?

Glass houses, BTW.

I'm not an English professor, so excuse me if this sounds foolish, but at what point did the rules of grammar and syntax shift so that the phrase "Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton were articulate speakers" became linguistically equivalent to "Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton are my heroes and role models"? Please answer quickly -- I have an English paper coming up, and if this is true then I think it would be an interesting topic to explore.

I do think Biden would have preferred to have one, little comma stuck in there, right after the "African-American".

Biden doesen't need any friends, he can do it all on his own, Biden's mommy says he's a big boy now.

Actually, I believe that's pretty much the way he said it.

You know, most people wait for a few hundred before making retarded ethnic generalizations.

Seriously, this is bull. Do you know why Malcolm X was killed? Well, if the government didn't do it (Although some tried.), the guy who was his second in command killed him because he went to Mecca and met white muslims. Soon after this, he decided that maybe not all white people were evil bastards. Then Louis Farrakhan killed him and blamed "whitey".

Louis Farrakhan? That can't be true. I've seen the movie, and he isn't even in it.

I made no such generalizations. I merely pointed out those individuals for who they were. I analyzed them not as represantative of their respective race, but as individuals.

You need to read more carefully, Zarakon.

Glad I'm not American. I'd hate for you to tell me what I need to know to be decent.

Did I try to tell you what you need to know to be decent?

Sad that the fact that what Biden said was true didnt abate the media circus.
