Joe Biden: "They'll Put Y'all Back in Chains...."

August 14th, 2012 3:33 PM

Vice President Joe Biden raised eyebrows at a Virginia campaign rally
(composed of a large majority of blacks) today when he said Mitt Romney and his economic ideas would "put y'all
back in chains."

Of the Republican ticket and newly-minted VP nominee Paul Ryan's budget plan, Biden said: "They’ve said it. Every Republican’s voted for it."

"Look at what they value. Look at their budget and what they’re
proposing. [Romney] said in the first 100 days, he’s going to let the
big banks once again write their own rules – unchain Wall Street ...
They’re going to put y’all back in chains."

Joe Biden: Romney Will 'Put Y'all Back In Chains'

While Biden likely meant that Americans would be shackled, metaphorically, by corporate greed, his words conjured up more provocative imagery - especially considering he was speaking before a large number of blacks in the audience.

Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul said “The
comments made by the vice president are not acceptable in our political
discourse and demonstrate yet again that the Obama campaign will say and
do anything to win this election."

Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter didn't back down.

"I think [President Obama] probably agrees
with Joe Biden's sentiments," Cutter said. "He's using a metaphor to
talk about what's going to happen."

"Put Y'ALL" 'BACK" in chains"........IS JOE BIDEN THE ONLY THING STANDING BETWEEN Black America AND SLAVERY???

The funniest part of the Biden gaffes, is this is the first administration with the Worse President AND the Worse Vice President... Carter at least had Mondale, who was by NO means an idiot!

Joe Biden is a nutball. He says things that are intended to encite an emotional reaction but are half truths, one third truths, and no truths at all. The great thing about Biden is he can go make silly, idiotic, and inappropriate comments that stir the democrate base and yet Obama some how comes out clean. He chose Biden so why doesn't he look bad. Oh right, I remember know, the double standard that the press has that does not take both of them to task. The press even smiles and winks. Now tell me there are no conspiracies in politics.

This from the guy who said of his boss...."I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”—Another racist rant from Joe Biden."

Joe just can't get his foot out his mouth to say anything half "witted".

For some reason, it's not racist for Democrats (who formed and operate the KKK) to make racist comments.

Notice that he did not say "Put y'all in chains". He said "Put y'all back in chains". That makes it very clear who he was talking to.

If the VP were Dan Quayle, (or anyone even considered by groats as of higher IQ than Quayle), the answer would be yes.

But in the case of Bidet-on-tap--the only surprises we find on him are that he always manages to sink lower!

I will never understand how so many can continue to be fooled by fools like Joe and his boss. They want to accuse the right of wanting to enslave and chain Ya'll, but if one to really look at the Liberal Regressive agenda, that is exactly what they desire. They desire to take control of every aspect of our lives and to make us totally dependent upon government. Talk about Projection!

I don't either. I also fail to grasp how they STILL follow community "leaders" that tell them they are so stupid, they need lower test scores to get ahead, or so stupid that they need lower admission requirements for university and military placement.

I would never follow a leader who calls me stupid.

Someone just said what I was thinking. Al Roker must be Biden's twin brother. Biden's comment was written to his script so it wasn't a gaffe but a deliberate comment. Sounds more like 0 or Holder's words. They just use Biden to say garbage they don't want to get heat for saying themselves. Keep peddling that water you guys, we'll wait until you get tired and can't keep up this BS. We will wait.

There is no way to spin and parse what the jerk said - he said to a predominately black audience, in a fake southern/black accent, "They're y'all back in chains!" The meaning was obvious and it was intended. The blacks in the audience and every black voter in American should be outraged at this boob's comments

Interesting how few DEMS (especially poor ones) recognize the inherent "chains" of federal assistance as a way of life.

All DEMS should read -Back On Uncle Sam's Plantation by Star Parker, she figured out FAST how welfare was slavery to the FED, but capitalism was freedom FROM the Fed.

I agree, it seems to be never ending generational dependence on the government.
The only thing REAL solution, I believe, starts with education.

I was hopeful when George Bush put education on the front line but it wasn't long before THAT hope was lost when he dragged Ted Kennedy into the mix.
