Question about a claim made again and again by Conservatives
Many times now I've heard Conservatives all a-froth in their outrage that "racist" Democrats are given a pass by the party and the MSM, and in their view the chief beneficiary of this blind eye is Joe Biden, who they claim is a flagrant racist.

WTF?

Of course, I'm aware of the "articulate" comment from a few months back, and I'm aware that he appeared on Imus (as did Clinton, who is likewise assailed as racist by these assholes).

Any guesses? I don't know what to say when I hear this, because it sounds like bullshit, but I'd like to be able to back it up.

1. PROJECTION: A standard republicon homelander propaganda technique
Like lauding Commander AWOL for his 'sterling' military record as a cocaine-snorting deserter, and elevating Dickie 'Five Military Deferments' Cheney to the status of War God, while dissing Kerry, a real American military hero.

Ptoody. Totally Satanic use of propaganda.

5. If Obama thought he was a racist, he never would have picked him.
Furthermore, Joe has been working with minorities his whole life. He is definitely not a racist. Read his book.

6. I certainly concur. But my question isn't "is Joe Biden racist"
It's "WTF are Conservatives talking about when they claim that Joe Biden is racist?"

7. Maybe they should look in the mirror....
I have no idea what they mean, and honestly, I have never heard them say that.

8. he meant to say clean cut, a manner of dress

Neat and trim in appearance.

I am a sloppy wrinkled dresser so I would never be described as clean cut.

Both Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson dress in a less conservative style that would not be considered clean cut.
