Joe Biden: Romney Will Bring Back Slavery.

Oh, Joe, say it isn't so!

So Joe Biden told an African-American audience that if Mitt is elected, they will be put back into shackles.

Talk about lying to your audience, and thinking they will fall for it.

Conservatives never were very good at understanding metaphors.

Where Joe made his mistake is not including all working class Americans in that .

True, they aren't in shackles now or even working. Obama has increased minority unemployment.

There are metaphors and there is hyperbole. Imagine if a Republican had said the same thing?

Kinda like a bullseye metaphor?

If a Republican had said that Romney will bring back slavery, I imagine he/she would be viewed as the first truly honest conservative.

What is it with all you liberals suddenly going off the rails of sanity... tough week?

Maybe Joe is hoping he gets a severance package?

Leave it to the Republicans to play the race card. Here is his actual statement:

In a Tuesday campaign speech, Biden likened Wall Street’s grip on average Americans to chains. “Romney wants to let the — he said the first 100 days — he’s gonna let the big banks once again write their own rules. Unchain Wall Street,” Biden said at an event in Danville, Va. “They gonna put y’all back in chains.”

Why do you claim that the audience was African-American? Why play the race card? According to the mainstream reports, not the right wing blogs, the audience was representative of the demography of the town of Danville, about 52% non-black. Not quite an "African-American" audience.
