    Yes, because we all know the GOP has never said the Dems will put you on Plantations, or trying to put people in slavery. That's just absurd.

    Sorry, wrongly phrased. When Biden does it, it's bad, but when the GOP says the Dems will put them into slavery, it's all of sudden okay.

    So yes, the GOP has made rhetoric like this in the past?

    The GOP hasn't. But I have.

    Stating that the democrats are keeping people on their plantation is not the same as saying the gop is going to lock you back up in chains. please.

    What are you talking about....it's exactly the same.

    It's all the kind of hyperbole one should expect, because it conjurs up imagery of plantations with chains, and so on.

    That's a huge hot button.

    So no righties are going to comment on they way they just got caught displaying an epic-level moment of stinking hypocrisy?

    Again, why was it okay for Mitt to make the comment, but not for Biden to respond with the same language? Bueller? Bueller?

    <sound of crickets>

    Why is it always entirely about race with most of the conservatives here? No liberal anywhere thought Romney or Biden was talking about race in any fashion, but all of the righties here instantly and proudly declared it was entirely about race. Say it all together, conservatives. "Sometimes, it's not about race". Go on, it won't kill you conservatives to occasionally not play the race card.

    Here is Biden, a Democrat, telling an audience that was largely black that the Republicans would be putting them in chains, which is funny as hell because it was Democrats who owned blacks as slaves and held them in chains.

    Well... Barack Obama and the Liberals have already called Romney a:

    Tax Cheat
    Racist
    Murderer

    .... so what's the big deal with "Slave Master"?

    This is what the campaign must turn to to avoid talking about:
    • Soaring Unemployment Rates
    • Soaring Inflation for Food and Gas/Energy
    • Soaring National Debt
    • Horrible GDP
    • Crumbling Health Care System under Obamacare


    Hey look everybody.... Romney is a racist, tax cheat, murdering, slave master!!!! No really!!!!

    So Romney wasn't making it about slavery when he talked about shackles? I did notice your lack of any comment about that. Which would be the hypocrisy thing.

    The smarter conservatives here will admit that they just mindlessly went off into a hissyfit because they were commanded to go off into a hissyfit. That's a little painful for them to admit, but it's so obviously true. The dumber ones will deny that they were played for rubes and then left twisting in the wind, so instead they'll choose to double-down on the hypocrisy and race-card playing.

    All recycled lies. All a Republican really has to do is tell the American people that they have had the power to do so in the past, so why haven't they done so if that is what they wanted.

    Oh c'mon......we've been through this already!!!!

    Conservative southern slavers/segregationist Democrats have absolutely nothing to do with today's Democratic party.

    It's telling that the first thing that comes to your liberal mind is slaves when the word shackles is mentioned.

    The first thing that comes to my mind is prisoners.

    When a person stands before a room full of black people and utters "chains", there is only one optic that comes out of that.

    It's easily explained using that "nuance" thing that liberals love, along with something called "context".

    Romney was using it in context of explaining that the FEDERAL government chains EVERYONE down with unnecessary rules and regulations, which I can't see anyone disagreeing with.

    Biden tailors the words to a racially-mixed audience in a deliberate attempt to link the Republicans TO prisons and/or slavery. There is a difference, which some may be deliberately ignoring because it agrees with their preconceived notions about the world.

    Maybe someone else can explain to me why that Yankee Joe was slipping into a mild southern drawl with his "Y'all" and suchlike.
