Biden moment part 2 -- on CNN's situation room, next hour

[pnwmom]

CNN just had a blurb, showing Biden's bizarre dunkin donuts comment. The Republicans are complaining it's not getting enough press. So Biden will be on display today in the Situation Room.

Great.

1. what was the comment?

I missed it.

2. he said that all people of color should be exterminated

at least that what you'd think based on the "outrage" around here.

He said that a lot of Indians own/run 7-11s and Dunkin Donuts.

The Humanity!

3. I found it at least a little racist

It shows how displaced he is from working people to say things like that.

How "above" he is from the workers.

4. hehe

My thoughts, too. I suppose we should be outraged at the Simpson's too for indulging in racist stereotyping.

It'd be nice if we could actually stay focused on more important things.

7. You can actually watch that clip and not be repelled?

Or have you just read about it?

6. He didn't say anything about them OWNING anything.

He said that you have to speak with an Indian accent to go into a Dunkin Donuts or a 7-11.

But you really need to see the video clip (in the OP) to get the full clip. It's just not the same on paper.

9. right, nobody believes that they own their own stores

everyone thinks they work for the white man.

5. What A Moronic Statement That Was. I Don't Know What He Was Thinking.

He knows better than to have said something that blatantly moronic and I was shaking my head in utter dismay when I heard it.

Yes, the repubs are going to multiply the outcry by a thousand. But yes, if any prominent republican senator said it we'd do the same thing.

8. Exactly. The problem was that he forgot to put his brain in gear

before he opened his mouth.
