The Top 5 Racist Biden Gaffes
Fox Nation ^ | aug 16, 2012 | Bill McMorris

Posted on 08/18/2012 8:36:34 AM PDT by Titus-Maximus

Vice President Joe Biden is currently under fire for adopting a drawl and telling a group of black supporters that Republicans “gonna put ya’ll back in chains.” But this is not the first time the vice president has been dogged by offensive remarks.

ONE. Biden kicked off his 2007 White House run by condescending to his current running mate, saying that then-Sen. Barack Obama was the “first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

He later apologized for the incident—but his penchant for crossing the line stuck with him on the campaign trail.

TWO. Biden falsely boasted that Delaware was a slave state to explain why he would remain competitive in southern primaries.

“You don’t know my state. My state was a slave state … my state is the 8th largest black population in the country,” he said.

The nation’s first black governor, Virginia’s Douglas Wilder, recently blasted Biden for engaging in racially charged rhetoric. The Daily Mail reports:

‘Slavery is nothing to joke about. And the history of this nation’s involvement with slavery is nothing to pass off in a joke.’

Suggesting that Biden was a liability to Obama, he added that ‘you can’t continue to make gaffe after gaffe after gaffe and believe that it’s going to be supportive of what you and the president are both trying to do’.

THREE. Biden’s treatment of Indian-Americans has earned him plenty of criticism. In 2006, he told an Indian-American supporter that “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”

Love the Biden photo in the article:

Reminded me of this Lloyd Bridges scene in "Hot Shots, Part Deux":

I was recently notified that my submission to The Urban Dictionary was accepted. The term is Bidenblunder. (sent it in back in March)

They claim Romney has “niggerized” the campaign. There has never been “niggerization” like the one done by the Obama admin. Ever.

Yet again the LEFT proves how much 'class' they have by using the 'n' word in a Presidential campaign.

Sounds funny coming from the group who had Biden say “Y’all”.

I guess they were just trying to appeal to their base.

Which is even funnier considering that “Y’all” is more REDNECK than GHETTO.
