Reminds me of when Bush took flak for referring to people from Greece as “Grecians.” And guess what? President Bush, actually did use the term properly then as well. But he still got ripped on it by the media.

For a politician
running for office,
it is a
HUGE
gaffe
to use an accurate term
that 99.999%
of your audience
thinks is a gaffe.

Kosovo is recognized as a country by the US government and most other first world countries. It would’ve been a gaffe for him to say otherwise.

Look, for years people have said "polacks" for Poles, so this is just like that, right? Wait . . . is the right phrase according to Biden, "Poliacs?"

Er, wait. . . . would that be Polish people with polio?

If they are Bosnian Muslims, why wouldn't they be "Musliacs?"

It's late, I'm getting confused.

I thought it funny that both Sarah and Gwen said O’Biden.

“He’s a Bosniac, Bosniac for sure.
And he’s gaffing like he’s never gaffed before.”

Heh, that’s good.

You had to see her; she was magnificent! Old Joe just kept getting whiter and whiter, crestfallen face at certain points, finally white as a sheet by the end. She was prepared, and she talked directly to the American people. Sarah wiped up the floor with old Joe. Oh, the liberal pundits may try to tell us we can’t believe our lying eyes, but we know now who’s lying and manipulating.

I don't know the context so he might've have been correct. HOWEVER, the terms Bosnian and Bosniak are not precisely interchangeable. The Bosniak Wiki entry makes this point

I thought that guy at Home Depot on Sunday, buying a plunger and some ant killer, looked familiar!

Um, that wasn’t a gaffe. Though if Palin or McCain had used the term, the Orwellian press would have turned it into one.

Thirty six years pontificating in the Senate by using thirty six sentences when one will suffice has produced a prolific liar as well as plagiarist. Before the campaign is complete he may also be a Bosniac.

Or, imagine if Sarah had cried talking about her family. She would have been cast as a woman of weak constitution and in no position to be a vice president.

I’m from Bosnia and the Muslims there are referred to as “Bosniaks” or “Bosnians”.

Well, I'm an American, and I refer to them as "Bosnians" or maybe "Bosnians". Biden and you may refer to them as "Bosniaks", but that just makes you two silly. Perhaps you and Joe refer to Mexicans as "Mexicaniaks" or Paraguayans as "Paraguayaniacs", but it's just silly. Just like your feeble posts to try and justify Joe's silly comments. Once again, he's stuck not just his foot, but his entire leg into his very wide mouth. Trust me, I'm an Alabama-inac. Wow, there's this whole new word that Joe Biden was able to introduce us to...NOT.

He is secretly afraid of the McCainiac that he is debating.

Just got the iacs confused.

Bosniaks is a real word. Biden didn’t screw up. Jesus Christ.

Perhaps the Oxford Debating Society agrees with that. But it's all about perception, and tonight Joe & Jane Sixpack perceived it as a gaffe.

At least it would make up for all of the worse gaffes that the MSM has underreported, while magnifying crap like Palin's grossly edited See-BS interview with Katie Courb!tch.
