CNN Anchor Grills Black Caucus Chair on ‘Chains’ Remark: Don‘t Tell Me That if it Were Romney ’People Would Not Be Going Crazy’

CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien has had her share of on-air run-ins with conservatives, but it was a Democrat, not a Republican, in the hot seat on Thursday — the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, no less.
O’Brien grilled Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) on Vice President Joe Biden’s “chains” remark, asking him as one of the top black congressmen what he made of it. Cleaver’s answer? “Absolutely nothing.”
“I would never have even paid attention to it but for the fact that campaigns nowadays are waiting for any kind of little nugget to create an atmosphere of more and more discord,” Cleaver said. “It makes absolutely no sense that some kind of a little throwaway line is now being used to make Vice President Biden appear to have been throwing out these words in order to somehow attract dumb African Americans who if they hear the words chains are going to automatically vote for him and President Obama.”
O’Brien said Cleaver was “extrapolating” with the “dumb African Americans” description, and continued: “You cannot tell me that if in fact we were talking about Mitt Romney saying a line like that…that people would not be going crazy and crying about race-baiting and talking about tone and tenor and coded language. I think we would, wouldn’t we?”
Cleaver said he wasn’t “sure” about that, and that any such remark would depend on the context.
“I know Vice President Biden and when you look at the video….there’s only a sprinkling of African Americans there, clearly in the minority of that crowd,” Cleaver said.
O’Brien pointed out that press reports indicated the crowd was roughly 50 percent black, at which point Cleaver switched tactics.
“Why would the vice president go into a setting like that where presumably half the people wouldn’t have any understanding or feelings about what was going on?” Cleaver said. “The reality is that the discourse in our politics has become unsophisticated, unpolished, unnecessary and rather than trying to raise the discord to some degree both sides look for little things that would remove the discussion from the things that matter to something that’s completely asinine.”
TheBlaze’s Will Cain, a contributor on the CNN panel, said it was hard to reconcile Cleaver‘s position that the campaign rhetoric has grown ugly while at the same time brushing aside Biden’s remark.
“I don‘t understand how you can say our national discourse is poor and then say that’s no big deal,” Cain said.
“I’ve been black all my life so that comment I can tell you would have no impact on me,” Cleaver said. “[Biden] was saying Wall Street has created a major problem in this country and Mitt Romney wants to come in and give those guys carte blanche to do it again and it would put you back in chains, you’d have another Wall Street collapse that would impact the nation and the world.”
Cleaver continued, “I know that that statement by the vice president had absolutely no impact — there‘s not a single black person in this country who’s going to say ‘by golly I’ve got to vote for Obama and Biden because Biden said something about going to put y’all back in chains.”

Posted on August 16, 2012 at 1:53pmRep. Cleaver missed the whole point, most probably on purpose. No one thinks Biden meant that the Republicans were going to put anyone at all in physical chains. Biden used black dialect and words he doesn’t use in his everyday conversation (y’all) to insight anger against the Republicans. Whenever I make a comment against an Obama policy or his ideology, most progressives throw the racist tag right from the get go. They’ve cheapened the meaning of racism every time they do this. Whenever I read a progressive calling a conservative a racist I go right past the remark as nothing but fodder because they’ve destroyed the meaning of it. When people like Biden and Hillary Clinton use black dialect and nothing is ever said about it, the NAACP does nothing but belittle themselves. One day they may wake up and realize their true enemy.

Posted on August 16, 2012 at 9:33pmI’ll tell you what I think is funny. A couple of a days ago everyone was slamming Solidad as a democratic lame stream media hack for calling out John Sununu on his fact free diatribe about President Obama “gutting Medicare,” which she put him in his place on, with facts, figures and three nonpartisan sources that have declared his talking point a lie.
Now she’s a great journalist. Yesterday she was shilling for the Democrats, today she deserves acclaim. Did she really change that much in a couple of days? Or are your opinions of a journalists dependent on who they are asking hard questions of? Be honest.
Anyway, would a Republican be slammed for any reference to slavery? Heck no! Allen West said Social Security, the most successful and popular program ever enacted by the US government, was a form of “slavery.” Did the press freak out? Heck no. Allen West make so many outrageous statements nobody even cares any more just like your local news station doesn’t report on the kook preaching about the end of the world.
Allen West has achieved that status, as have many other Tea Party legislators have. If their comments are reported at all, it’s just for amusement, like a Jennifer Annison wardrobe malfunction. Sorry Solidad, it happens on such a regular basis it isn’t even news anymore when it happens on the right..

Let’s face it, Biden is the biggest jack@ss around and he makes gaffes on a daily basis. He should be working in a circus as a clown, because that would be more up to his intellectual ability.
Funny how none of the “chosen people” owned Marxist Media outlets don‘t play any of Biden’s gaffes. They‘d rather focus on Romney’d 1 gaffe he had in England. That is the agenda. Keep focusing on the 1 mistake of Romney rather than the hundreds of Biden. They could run a 2 hour special of all of Biden‘s gaffes he’s made.

Sidarth, an Indian-American, who was filming the event as a “tracker” for the Jim Webb campaign. The left and the MSM went nuts. Allen, who had a lead at that point, lost the election because the Webb campaign and the democrats played that clip night after night. There was no more substantive discussion of issues throughout the rest of the race, just the nightly repetition of the Allen macaca gaffe.

He did say all African Americans who think this is offensive are “Dumb African Americans”. Translation – once again – if you don’t follow the party line, you get called names.
He also said it was OK since only a a few “sprinkling” of blacks were present.
When republicans say the other side is over-sensitive – they are just insensitive racists. Now if liberals say we are being over-sensitive, well conservatives are just silly and making much of nothing.

All of this anti-Wall Street rhetoric is a lie. The Democrats blame the economic mess on Republicans when so much of this blame goes back to the Clinton Affordable Housing legislation passed by a Democrat House and the ensuing housing legislation pressured by the ACORN community antagonizing groups . Home loans to “ poor minorities ” were forced by using the Discrimination Card and the typical Democrat bullying tactics we have become irritatingly familiar with since the Chicago Obama crew occupied the White House .
