Biden: "Bosniacs" (imagine if Sarah made that same gaffe)

Fox News ^ | 10/2/2008 | Joe Biden

[Shermy]

What was that thing about us kicking Hezbollah out of Lebanon?

[Bean Counter]

Absolutely classic Biden-ism...

That will be the high (or low) point of this debate...

[KentuckianaHeadhunter]

The Bosniaks or Bosniacs[25] (Bosnian: Bošnjak, pl: Bošnjaci, IPA: [bɔ'ʃɲaːt͡si]) are a South Slavic people, living mainly in Bosnia and Herzegovina ("Bosnia") and the Sandžak region of Serbia and Montenegro, with a smaller autochthonous population also present in Croatia, Kosovo and the Republic of Macedonia. Bosniaks are typically characterized by their tie to the Bosnian historical region, traditional adherence to Islam, and common culture and language. In the English-speaking world, Bosniaks are most commonly known as Bosnian Muslims. Using information from the CIA World Fact Book, it can be seen that Bosnian Muslim is an imprecise synonym for Bosniak, because in Bosnia, Bosniaks make up 48% of the population, but only 40% of the population (of B&H) is Muslim.[26] Bosniaks are also referred to as Bosnians,[27] but this is also imprecise, as the term Bosnians can also be used to denote all inhabitants of Bosnia regardless of ethnic origin (i.e. not only Bosniaks, but also Bosnian Serbs, Bosnian Croats or any other group in the country).

Bosniacs? sure...just like Russinacs, and Franciacs, Spaniacs, Canadiacs, Ice Landiacs, Belgiacs, Iraqiacs, Iraniacs, and ALL the others. Once we’ve gone through the re-education camps, it all make sense and be second nature. Sieg Heil!..I mean, Yes We Can!...

[Sgt_Schultze]

Really? I’m not getting that impression. I was listening on the radio in the car and just got home. Palin seems to be overcoached to the point where she is just on run-on sentence after another.

[incredulous joe]

she isn’t responding to the BS because it’s confusing.

i’m betting when they break this down after the fact biden will have about a half dozen lies that he has smeared mccain with.

the press will play cover up for him and he knows it.

[appeal2]

Bosniacs scare the hell out of me. But Sara rocks. She is so engaging.

[Bailee]

Sarah is doing very well. She is having to defend a RINO that is tough. McCain has to clearly distance himself from the four more years of Bush.

[KTM rider]

stay down biden , none of your weak lies has landed .

.

Biden just said "Cheney is the most dangerous Vice President in history" ........that's some real class Joe ! (" joe blow biden " )

[TNCMAXQ]

I suppose that little performance will end up helping him.

I wish Palin would hit him over the lie on 100,000 cops in the crime bill.

Biden has a nerve to scream about Cheney being evil. Someone needs to call 0bama on his threats to free speech.

I think Palin did her own but I am disappointed she keeps talking about bipartisanship and is not hitting the Dems hard enough.

Biden is rambling now.

[MNSlim]

I could not disagree more. Regards.

"sound bites"

She's missed some opportunities, but she's made some good points. Her biggest flub was not pursuing Biden on the regulatory business. She allowed Biden to get away with the idea that Obama was for regulating the FMs and McCain was not. She's had to swallow McCain's malarkey about global warming and capping emissions too. She sounded nervous at first but gained confidence as the debate went on. Overall, debates points aside, she does sound strong and positive. Unfortunately she 's missed some grand opportunities to nail Obama and Biden. The problem is Biden did get in sound bites although he's lying about practically everything he says concerning McCain.

[big'ol_freeper]

"Bosnians? Who knew? I always thought they were Bosniacs."

[rawcatslyentist]

>"Sarah was in 2nd grade, McCain still in the POW Camp when Old Joe was first sworn into senate."

Change you'd have to be a lib to believe in.

[hellbender]

I hate to say it, but Biden was referring to camps for refugees from the violence in Darfur who have fled to Chad.

More important is that Biden can't explain why he (and most prominent Demonrats) voted for the war in Iraq, and now he is supporting a man who was so extreme that he was in the tiny minority who opposed the war, tried to cut off funding for it (insuring America lost and its soldiers died in vain), and still wants to set an arbitrary withdrawal date.

[TheCipher]

What was that thing about us kicking Hezbollah out of Lebanon?

Actually, he couldn't remember the name of the country. He referred to it as the country north of Israel

[Apercu]

Bideniac,s plugs have become toxically ingrown.

[PubliusMM]

Agreed, he’s lying through his teeth...but, he’s doing it well (a lot of practice, no doubt).
I like Gov. Palin and believe her to be a grand choice as a VP candidate. However, in this venue, she is scoring some points, but he’s winning the sound bites, it seems to me.

Maybe he confused the Bosnians with these guys:
