Biden on Romney: ‘They’re going to put y’all back in chains’

Vice President Joe Biden told supporters that Republicans would “put y’all back in chains,” during a campaign speech Tuesday in Danville, Va.

VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: They’ve said it. Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the—he 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. He’s said he’s going to do nothing about stopping the practice of outsourcing…
Biden was introduced at the campaign event by Center for American Progress Action Fund president Tom Perriello, who called Biden “the conscience of our nation’s capital.”

UPDATE: Romney campaign spokesperson Andrea Saul said Biden’s “chains” comments were unacceptable.

“The comments made by the vice president of the United States are not acceptable in our political discourse and demonstrate yet again that the Obama campaign will say and do anything to win this election,” Saul said in a statement released by the campaign. ”President Obama should tell the American people whether he agrees with Joe Biden’s comments.”

Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said Monday the campaign has “no problem with those comments,” in an interview with Andrea Mitchell.

Looks like "borking" on steroids. In 1987, Robert Bork, who eschewed mixing law with politics, did not go public to argue agaisnt the inflammatory accusations, mostly by Kennedy, in his own defense. This was a praiseworthy and principled effort but, as Bork put it, ended in a bloody crossroads, resulting most likely in the bloody outcome of millions more babies aborted.

Let's hope our side, as Marco Rubio puts it, "sets the record straight," as we are not under the same judicial restraints as Bork. As Bork says, these desperate borking tactics and desire for power "lays bare the authoritarian character" of the American left (from The Tempting of America by Robert Bork).

Only the blindest idiot will watch the VP debate and think that Biden would be better as president than Ryan. I can’t wait.

You see this is why we should hammer the fact that this is Projection.. When they get up in the morning they should think that whenever they see a rat speaking he is lieing.

Unfortunately there is no shortage of blind ideologues.

Besides, Biden is by no means certain to be the VP pick, there's still plenty of room under the bus...

My Pet Theory: The Media is going to stop filtering Biden's gross stupidity and incompetence, because they want Obama to bounce him from the ticket. Zero can just say that Gool Ol' Joe has lost a step, and it is time for him to spend more time with his family...

The reason for this, of course, is that they are all peeing their pants in fear over the prospect of a Biden/Ryan debate...

If my theory is correct, look for the drip-drip-drip of Biden gaffes to continue.

We could have a lot of fun speculating on who The Once would pick for impeachment insurance for his next term.

He can't pick Hillary!, because not even The Once is stupid enough to give Hillary! that kind of motivation...

Just saw a STUNNING report on CNN. They had a Romney guy on (Vin Weber, I think) to talk about this. There was the quote under the talking head the whole time, there was Brooke Baldwin, asking in an ominous tone, teeing it up for the Republican, “Well, Congressman, what do you think of this?” And, I swear to God, the dumb, stupid, ignorant, unimaginably dense freaking tard dumb-ass, spent the entire 5 minute segment attacking the FIRST part of the quote, the part about banking regs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not ONE SINGLE SYLLABLE addressed to the outrageous statement. NOT ONE! Where do we find these GD FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes I swear these people are in cahoots with the socialists. I'm open to ANY other suggestions.

Romney should play that clip on all of the networks as a commercial. He could comment that this is what divisive and racist campaigning is about and that he wants to bring the country together...

...and follow that with questions and answers:

Joe Biden, which party freed the slaves? Republicans!

Joe Biden, who marched with Dr. King? Republicans!

Mr. Biden, who put on white sheets, tortured and lynched innocent young black men in the middle of the night? Democrats!
