Pic: Biden Speaks To Empty House At NAACP Convention…
Weasel Zippers ^ | July 12, 2012

The above picture was taken just before Biden was set to speak by CBS News’ Rodney Hawkins who says the NAACP is blaming the lack of attendance on the rain. Anyone buying that excuse?

Talked to NAACP representative who tells me the rain is to blame… People are slowly coming in

Personally, I can't understand why more people don't want to hear plugs make a total ass of himself ... live and in person!

That's racist. Like saying blacks don't learn to swim.

If he was handing out Obama’s stash, all seats would be filled.

Two white liberals in a row was a bridge too far.

If the rain kept the NAALCP loyalists away then I hope it pours on election day.

It would be more gratifying to know he was dampening the event even further in front of a packed house. With him, the larger the audience, the bigger the toddies and the more excruciating the blunders.

Curious - what were the “liberal” sounding elements from yesterday’s speech?

If it rains on election day and obama loses, they’ll blame the rain AND blame Bush for making it rain.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I don’t speak “Limbaugh-ese”.

Liberal. The NAACP does not stand to help conservative "colored people."

Mis-reported.

The lack of attendance was due to the rein.

It’s all about poverty.

If black people can’t afford photo IDs, how can they afford umbrellas or raincoats?
