Joe Biden, recalling the "civility" of the Senate in the 1970s and ’80s, on Tuesday touted his experience working with two segregationist Southern senators to get "things done" — drawing an immediate rebuke from Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York, who is married to an African American woman and has an interracial family. (Snip) Another Democratic candidate, Sen. Cory Booker, who is African American, called on Biden to apologize. "You don't joke about calling black men ‘boys.’ Men like James O. Eastland used words like that, and the racist policies that accompanied them, to perpetuate white supremacy and strip
We are definitely going to need some more popcorn. Lots more.

He should walk away from the party. They have gone so far left that their fair promises are just bait to the foolish.

Ah.. the Revolution eating its own. If blacks remain so sensitive to words, they will NEVER be free. But we know that already.

The democrats are stupidly and recklessly building a powder keg of racial resentment and animosity to blow up before the election. Case in point, the idiotic hearings on “reparations” which will only inflame emotions among the childlike and emotional. I’m not defending the fatuous Biden, but almost any statement can somehow offend someone in some way. The left started this situation, and if it does blow up, will see their beloved urban safe spaces burn like they did in the 60s.

The Dem candidates are and have been playing Dodgeball.

Can't help but wonder if Joe mentioned these two, in particular, which would create the uproar it has, so he can then bow out of the campaign.
If not, today's Democrat party, will push him out.
Can't help but wonder if Nancy and Chuck also associated with, or worked with, the two Joe mentioned, or who else within the Democrat party, after all.

Love this line from Kamala Harris:
"If those men had their way I wouldn't be in the United States Senate and on this elevator right now."
If Willie Brown had not "had his way," she wouldn't be where she is either.

Ooh this is too good. I'm with Ms Warren on this one. Let the segregationist Democrats disappear.
Start every reference to this "uproar" with, "There was a reason Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican...."

I don't like the idea of segregation whatsoever. And I am not a fan of Biden or any other Democrat. That said, wasn't Biden's point that he could manage to get things done even with the likes of segregationists?
NOTE: The segregationists were DEMOCRATS! That is who Biden was talking about, not Republicans.
And yes, to Biden's theme, he is correct that the opposition is not longer the opposition. It is the ENEMY. I would suggest that such a characterization comes largely from the Democrats, who cannot abide anyone or any thought that does not line up with their Leftist ideology. I would suggest further that Obama -- Biden's pal -- is a big reason we've gone from having an opposing party to have any ENEMY party. Add gal pal Hillary to that big reason.
George W. Bush was milquetoast. Clinton was aw-shucks obnoxious, but he sort-of played nice with the opposition. Bush Senior was milquetoast. Mr. Reagan could be critical, but still managed to work with Democrats.
Obama? Nope. He told McCain to shut up cuz McCain was a loser. His wife had never been proud to be an American until Obama came along. And Hillary was a wicked witch toward anyone she didn't like.
So this is largely a problem created by DEMOCRATS.

Bravo, #8. Horizontal harris would be nowhere were she not one of willie brown's personal air mattresses.
The odd bit is it's no big secret. She's kind of a Reggie Love in heels.
Also agree with the popcorn comments. This is shaping up to be good.

I am sick to death of hearing Cory Booker described as an African-American. I want a DNA test, I suspect we will then have to label him an American-African to give homage to his roots.

Once again, slow Joe steps on the rake, again. What a shame/ This moron is so stupid he couldn't substitute as an intellectual stalking horse for a box of rocks. However, this moron is dangerous because he believes he's smart based on his years in the senate, and he's too arrogant to notice.

No "outrage" when the KKK Sen. Byrd loving Hillary received these nitwit votes.

I would bet that old floppy Joe has not got a clue about what drives the Progressive Left. He is stuck with a mind that hasn't taken on a new challenge for at least 40 years. All he knows is old-time thuggery aka DNC/union politics. Too bad. He'd have made for a fun election season. If you can call shooting fish in a barrel fun, that is.

Old Joe doesn't realize he needs to walk on eggshells and tiptoe around every SJW minefield the Democrats lay before everyone.
