'Back In Chains': Capehart Claims Biden Has 'Nothing To Apologize For'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/15/2012 4:43:58 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

An animated opening segment on today's Morning Joe focused on the fallout from VP Joe Biden's remark to a largely African-American crowd yesterday that a Romney presidency would "put y'all back in chains."

Washington Post editorialist Jonathan Capehart claimed Biden doesn't have "anything to apologize for." But earlier, Willie Geist opined that had Paul Ryan said such a thing, "there would be calls" for Ryan and Romney "to get out of the race." Taking the cluelessness cake, Mika Brzezinski found it inconceivable that Biden might have been playing the race card.

Being a liberal means never having to say you’re sorry. Ping to Today show list.

Wow, Morning Joe had a moment of lucidity. How is that possible? What’s this world coming to.

Mika was true to form though, wasn’t she?

Biden Has 'Nothing To Apologize For'

Well, in a sense this is true -- Biden has to apologize to America for his own existence and he is nothing, therefore, Biden has nothing to apologize for. Q.E.D.

Capehart LOVES Obama because they finally got him to say he supports same sex marriage, and if you havent noticed Capehart is gay, and annoying. Even Mika gave him the evil eye this morning.

The Democrat game plan. Lie, obfuscate the record, libel, a phalanx of panthers, agitated gays, union thugs, federally funded leftists such as acorn,accommodating MSM,and of course massive election fraud.

Their “moment of lucidity” probably consisted of

“stop revealing the underlying agenda, dumbass! We’ll get kicked out of power!”

I think this statement is going to ring with a lot of Americans because a lot of us feel like WE are the ones in chains, forced to turn over the fruits of our labor to be redistributed to LAZY people at the whim of those in power.

And they’re going to go all out this election. Keeping Chavez as President of the United States is their number one goal in life. Oops. I mean keeping Mugabe as President of the United States.

Oops. I mean Obama.

Sorry. I get those three confused a lot.

I think you’re giving Morning Joe more credit than he deserves.

He’s not smart enough to try to stop revealing the agenda.

I just think he has to pretend to be even-handed once-in-a-while and this was just one of those times. It’s kind of random which issues he picks to show his “fairness”. This just happens to be one of them. He only does it once in a blue moon, so it’s surprising when you see him do it, but there’s nothing to it. Just some faux “balanced reporting” going on.

Those Republicans have been cooking the books for years, and now they want to put you people into the ovens.

Joe Biden speaking to Jewish voters

Liberal media: nothing to apologize for.

Well if the mediacrats accept the premise, maybe Romney should state that if Obama has a second term he will create a cultural and economic nightmare which will emulate Mao along with Stalin. Tens of millions will be sacrificed for the good of the State as Obama lives high on the hog.

Obama will establish camps for entitlement recipients as they are systematically murdered since they are a drag on the economy. Next, for the good of the State name himself Chairman Supreme of the United States and proudly proclaim that the trains will run on time. The Romney campaign has plenty of evidence for this dramatic power grab. Valerie Jarret, who Obama parrots, is so in love with the writings of Mao that she has a closet full of dildos dedicated to the times she studies Mao's little red book.

If the media wants to focus on hyperbole rather than the current state of affairs, might as well diffuse the strategy with ridicule.
