Joe Biden states, “Romney is going to put y’all back in chains,” at a Danville, Virginia rally. Now let us go back to 2008, Sen. Biden brags: “My state was a slave state.” Biden is referencing the State of Delaware. I say we do not give this man a pass any longer. No more crazy uncle in the attic analogy.
Americans will decide November 6, 2012. Stop the race baiting nonsense, right in its tracks.
Biden remarked,
They’ve said it. Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the—he said in the first 100 days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules–unchain Wall Street. They’re going to put y’all back in chains. He’s said he’s going to do nothing about stopping the practice of outsourcing…
Romney camp wants Obama to denounce Biden’s ‘slanderous’ remark
The Romney campaign is reacting harshly to Vice President Joe Biden’s accusation that Mitt Romney and Wall Street will put Americans “back in chains.”
“After weeks of slanderous and baseless accusations leveled against Governor Romney, the Obama Campaign has reached a new low,” press secretary Andrea Saul said in a statement. “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.”

Stephanie Cutter: ‘We’re Fine With’ Biden Saying Republicans Want People ‘Back In Chains’
Anyone Doubt That the Lame-Stream Will “Bury” This Story? Anyone Doubt That if a Republican had Spoken This, it Would be Headlines 24 by 7? Hey Barack, America is About to Reject You and Your Race-Baiting Bullshit !!!

Obama for America clarifies Biden remarks
8/14/12 3:03 PM
From the Obama campaign: “For months, Speaker Boehner, Congressman Ryan, and other Republicans have called for the ‘unshackling’ of the private sector from regulations that protect Americans from risky financial deals and other reckless behavior that crashed our economy. Since then, the Vice President has often used a similar metaphor to describe the need to ‘unshackle’ the middle class. Today’s comments were a derivative of those remarks, describing the devastating impact letting Wall Street write its own rules again would have on middle class families. We find the Romney campaign’s outrage over the Vice President’s comments today hypocritical, particularly in light of their own candidate’s stump speech questioning the President’s patriotism. Now, let’s return to that ‘substantive’ debate Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan promised 72 hours ago, but quickly abandoned.

Is Biden the first intellectually challenged VP?
The former seven-term senator then revised and extended his remarks. He meant to say “unshackled” instead of “unchained,” he said.
“I’m told that when I made that comment earlier today in Danville, the Romney campaign put out a tweet … [and] went on the airwaves saying, ‘Biden, he’s outrageous in saying that,’ ” he said. “I got a message for them. If you want to know what’s outrageous, it’s their policies and the effects of their policies on middle-class America. That’s what’s outrageous.”
Yeah, “shackles,” that’s the ticket. They have nothing at all to do with slavery, … nothing at all. I guess he just keeps going until everyone writes him off as a moron and moves on.
