Biden's comment, referring to Obama as "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy?"
...and then began desparately trying to backpedal on the comment?

I guess nothing since Rush Limbaugh calls him Halfrican, and Osama Obama. I don't think that is racism now is it, may be just hate.
With the comments that the Republicans make on Obama he would have to settle for Biden's comments as compliments.

Obviously the entire Democratic party would be up in arms. Biden can't help it though, he's an old Bast that lived in the 50's and 60's and saw all the rascism he's just saying what he believes is true, typical stereotyping.
Not that rascism doesn't exist today on all sides. Average americans would expect it from those conservative moron Rep's.

You and I both know that if a Republican had made that comment, we would be hearing about all the way up to the next election! This is why I do not listen to the main stream media any more. I a story makes a liberal look bad, they will kill it as fast as they can.

Certainly it would have been blasted, till ignited the mob that demand resignation, and firing. Biden did not in the least, call the other African-Americans dirty, or dumb. He only meant to compliment him, and it came out wrong. Let's stick to relevant, and pertinent matters.

If a black man had said it , noone would have made an issue. Black people call themselves and their friends the big N word but god forbid a white guy use it................. get over it not all whites are as raciest as some blacks. Stop with the race card it gets old

ha ha - you already know. But as usual - the dems have short term memory in regards to what members of their own party say and/or do - but if a republican makes a mistake - they never live it down.

He would be crucified and nobody would be making excuses for him. He'd be expected to resign and to make multiple public apologies, including making one on the racist BET.

I'd rather doubt that there are any astute republican minds that could come up with such a complex sentence structure.
