"Soft bigotry "

Bigotry is bigotry, no matter how soft it is, And it has nothing to do with the left as it happens on the right as well or are you trying to pretend the right hasnt made the exact same type of comments. I think we had 3 Republicans in a one week span call the President a tar baby.

The "everyone does it" act by some of the extreme left-wing posters is mind numbing at times. Had this comment had been clearly in reference to a Republican, your (and many other other left leaning) responses would have teetered onto the "well there they go again" mantra...now that someone brings up Uncle Joe's antics within your duly elected administration, we're now getting the swept under the rug talk

We all know that there are right wingers who have made racist comments, however when is a leftists going to admit just once that someone within their own ranks is capable of bigotry by equal comparison?

IMHO it's because the FAR left people in 2014 ARE as bad as the KKK and Nazis back in the day when being INtolerant is or was Ok.

Sometimes it's racist. Sometimes it's annoying. Sometimes it's offensive.

Other times the guy you're talking about choses you to be the Vice President of the United States.
