Another racist gaffe from Biden is buried by the controlled media

[Roadrunner]

It's obvious from Joe Biden's comments that he thinks most blacks smell funny and that people only move here from India to work in convenience stores. If you don't think that makes him a "racist" it's hard to portray him as anything other than Washington's answer to Archie Bunker.

More like Washington answer to PeeWeeHerman.

 

[Pogo]

Same speculation fallacy all over again.

Is there an echoechoecho in this caverncaverncavern?

The question remains unmolested: where's the racism?

The coverage of presidential candidate Senator Joe Biden’s racist remarks about Senator Barack Obama demonstrates a blatant media double standard. If a Republican had condescendingly referred to a black person as “clean,” “bright” and “articulate,” he or she would have been branded as a racist and banished from public life. But Biden’s political career had to be saved at any cost. Why?

A quick look at the news from the past week provides an answer. Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has been organizing opposition to the Bush Administration’s policy in Iraq. That means he has to be given a pass, even though this is the second time in less than a year that he has made disparaging remarks about a member of a minority group. He previously claimed that “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.” This comment was caught on C-SPAN and can be seen on YouTube.

For our media, destroying the Bush policy in Iraq takes precedence over making an issue of Biden’s racism.

Biden has been described by Robert Guttman, the Director of the Center on Politics & Foreign Relations at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C., as “the most knowledgeable, articulate and concerned” spokesman for the Democratic Party on foreign policy.

On the Huffington Post website, Guttman declared that “no one doubts he has the expertise in foreign affairs to hit the floor running if he became our next president.”

For these reasons, which are shared by many in the liberal media, Biden’s racism must be excused. That is why this supremely articulate individual must now be transformed into someone who makes “verbal slips” on race. Even on the “conservative” Fox News, Brit Hume said Biden’s problem was that he talked too much, not that he was a racist.

However, when then-Republican Senator and candidate George Allen called an Indian-American a “macaca” during a campaign rally, he was hounded by the media to the point where the controversy contributed to his eventual defeat. Republican Senator Trent Lott’s joking comments that one-time segregationist Strom Thurmond would have been a good president were covered so extensively by the media that Lott was forced to step down from his post as Senate majority leader.

Lott’s “offensive” comments included the remark that “When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over the years, either.” It was obviously intended to make an old man feel good, in contrast to Biden’s denigration of a whole race of people by singling out one as civilized.

Clearly, there is a lower media standard for Democrats, who include Senator Robert Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, and Howard Dean, the Democratic chairman who once remarked that “I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks.”

But Biden’s big mouth does stand out. His rhetoric suggests that he pays close attention to how members of minority groups look, smell or sound. He exhibits the classic behavior of a racist.

At least it can be said in this case that Biden was speaking his own mind. He was forced out of the presidential race in 1988 when he was caught plagiarizing a speech from a British politician. That scandal is rarely, if ever, mentioned by the media when discussing Biden’s record and career as an “articulate” foreign policy spokesman.

Exactly. Joe is given a pass by the liberals because he is a democrat, THEIR party. Lol. If it was any more obvious, it would punch you in the face!

You know if GWB or any other republican had said such things, the screaming ninnies would have a melt-down.

You're running the same speculation fallacy over and over hoping it sticks to the wall. It won't.

None of this is about Joe Biden. It's about PC bullshit cherrypicking and posturing "dat's wacist" when it ain't. I don't have a party; I don't believe in 'em. You go bring me a quote from a Republican, or whoever, that fails to qualify as this does, and I'll say the same thing. I dare you.

Racism does not mean "making a reference to a race". And "Somali" isn't a race anyway. Nor is "muslim" [sic] -- both of which were quoted to try to make this bogus thread happen.

To refer to "that guy" is not racist;
To refer to "that black guy" is still not racist;
To say "that black guy stole my car" --- STILL not racist;
To say "that black guy stole my car because that's what blacks do" ---- NOW you have racism. It's in the last phrase. You need a value judgment made as a blanket statement. Not a stereotype.

Is this starting to sink in in any way whatsoever?

I mean, for goodness sake, if someone mentions that there are problems within the black community in a lot of inner city areas, people from the left will call you a racist. Yes, they are THAT ridiculous.

Hypothesis Contrary to Fact

The second one even comes with a hasty generalization fallacy. Kind of like a bonus track.

I'm looking at actual words on a page -- verbatim quotes, in context. You're looking inside your own imagination -- "what (you imagine) would happen if".
Guess which one of us is standing on something solid.

And you've got no basis even for that speculation. I've called Shrub a lot of things but "racist" has never been one of them. For the same reason as the topic here: I have zero evidence that that's the case. So you can make shit up out of your own head from now to February 30th; it doesn't make it anything like reality. So pinning "let's be honest" at the end of your own fallacy is, to be kind, ironical.

Media Covers Up Biden s Latest Racist Gaffe - Breitbart

feb 17 2015
Democrats sure got it good. Louisiana Republican Governor Bobby Jindal dares to agree with CNN’s own reporting about European no-go zones, and the left-wing network brands him an anti-Muslim racist. On the other hand, when Vice President Joe Biden stereotypes Somali immigrants as nothing more than a bunch of cab drivers, the media pretends it didn’t happen. The slur is left completely out of their reporting.

Video shows that during Tuesday’s White House summit on generic extremism, Biden actually said of Somalis, “If you ever come to the train station with me, you’ll notice that I have great relationships with them because there’s an awful lot of them driving cabs and are friends of mine. For real. I’m not being solicitous. I’m being serious.”

Soooooo .... where exactly does he say Somalis are "nothing more than" cab drivers?

And where are these past racist comments? Got any quotes?

Yeahhhhh, nothing racist about Biden's comments' Like saying a black guy being clean and articulate was "Storybook, man!"

Sarcasm is used when no proof is available

Delicious innit? In order to condemn his subject he has to (seemingly) defend Obama's honor. I'm thinking once that dawned on him that's why he ran away. Painted himself into another corner.

We could get him out of it if he had the stones to come back and admit his OP was horseshit.

Even funnier that even given the dearth of a basis, nobody can bring themselves to admit the OP is full of shit.

DeNial is a deep river.

Dude, how can you POSSIBLY not know that was what Joe Biden said about Barack Obama? Do you live under a large rock and only emerge to post here before going back underground?

Already covered. Try actually reading the thread...

Again, I'm already well familiar with the quote. I also know the context -- which is carefully avoided around here -- that he's talking about the field of Presidential candidates specifically. Even your video above says that.

What I'm asking is for anyone to point out where the racism in the words is. And that can't be done, ergo the claim is bullshit.

And I'm sorry, somebody calling itself "Gaffe News" and making a YouTube video doesn't make a bullshit point into a real one. It's either real, or it ain't. This one is the latter.

THIS JUST IN -- YouTubers, bloggers, bloviators, talk radio wankers, newspaper muckrakers and internet wags will make up memes and run with them even when they're provably bullshit.

WHO KNEW.

To refer to "that guy" is not racist;
To refer to "that black guy" is still not racist;
To say "that black guy stole my car" --- STILL not racist;
To say "that black guy stole my car because that's what blacks do" ---- NOW you have racism. It's in the last phrase. You need a value judgment made as a blanket statement. Not a stereotype.

That last statement isn't racist either. Racism is when the govt steps in and persecutes people based on race as they do with affirmative action. AA is the only racism in america. THINK

Well look who slithers back to explain what kind of race "Somali" is.

You posting the word THINK is the most ironical yet.
AA is stupid and misapplied, but it's not racism. Racism is a value judgment. It doesn't stretch to a one-size-fits-all when you decide it's a good day for cherrypicking.
