Actual quote: "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. "

Washington Post's rewrite:

at a Virginia rally by Vice President Biden that Romney’s plans to loosen Wall Street regulations would “put y’all back in chains” — to go after his opponents. Washington Post rewritten version

When I see someone pulling a Post from a coin box, I ask them if they like being told lies.

It’s been edited on all the radio reports too.

This morning, listening to Fox News on the radio on the way into work, they talked about the quote, but played a different Biden quote.

When it happened I knew it was not an accident.

You can't even trust Fox.

They are playing the walked back version. Biden clarified his comments and the old comments went down the memory hole.

Bidens comments down the memory hole?

Except for the several million who can and will visit DRUDGE and see the words as well as the video. The worst thing the Left must deal with these days is there inability to control the message and bury their mistakes.

Once it’s on the web it will always be available.

ABC World News Tonight carried the full remarks last night, so at least the few people who comprise their audience got to see it.

They amazingly played the full remarks on Today Show, too. I was expecting otherwise.

Fox just played the video on America’s Newsroom .

BTW , when you read the quote , it always is printed as he said “ going “ . He clearly says “ gonna “ .

It would be interesting to search through all of Biden’s public speeches and see how often he uses the word ‘y’all.’

It gets edited everywhere. When you watch the video, Biden clearly said "They gonna put y'all back in chains. He said he gonna do nothing about stoppin' the practice of outsourcing..."

Even on a very conservative site like the Washington Free Beacon (linked from Drudge), they edit it to say "THEY'RE GOING TO put y'all back in chains. He said HE'S GOING TO do nothing about STOPPING the practice of outsourcing..." LINK

Biden was clearly speaking down to his audience, in the same way that Obama and Hillary have done in the past, but when it gets put into print, the inflection is papered over so that it appears as if he was just speaking normally (except for the word "y'all").

“Once it’s on the web it will always be available.”

Who do you believe, Obama or your lying ears? :)
