The remark's context is unclear. Some conservative blogs claimed Biden had just made a reference to slavery. Danville, aside from being the last capital of the Confederacy, is racially split -- the city is nearly half black and half white. The crowd at Tuesday's event reflected that makeup.
Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul fired back at Biden after the event, without accusing Biden of any racial reference.
"After weeks of slanderous and baseless accusations leveled against Governor Romney, the Obama campaign has reached a new low," she said. "The comments made by the vice president of the United States are not acceptable in our political discourse and demonstrate yet again that the Obama campaign will say and do anything to win this election. President Obama should tell the American people whether he agrees with Joe Biden's comments."
"Back in Chains"??? Tell me......who else in America was put in chains besides black people? I am so sick and tired of this administration ans it's insidiously divide and conquer, scorched-earth tacts! They don't care what they say or do to win!! Accusing Romney of Murder, Tax Evasion and now wanting to put blacks back in chains???
And you know what?? Sadly my people wouldn't shake their heads in disbelief at that idiotic statement. Noooo....they would cheer him on and the media won't touch him!!!
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine John Boenher or Eric Cantor sayin something like this!!
Biden, the gift that keeps on giving. Not the first he has said racist things. Isn't Biden the same idiot who said he was suprised that Obama was articulate and "clean" back in 2008?

Yep..........and black folks looked the other way on that one too!
If we remove the shackles of government, if we unburden ourselves from the mountain of debt that we have been saddled with, we can become the Opportunity Society that we once were.

It's scary to think this idiot is only a breath away from the Presidency. Damn.
