‘Real News’ War Room: Bidenisms Dominate Latest Media Cycle

With new focus on the Paul Ryan announcement Saturday, and a Sarah Palin punchline always right around the corner from the mainstream stream media campaign coverage, Vice President Joe Biden made statements Tuesday reminding the country that he is far from immune to bringing negative attention to his campaign and party.

While speaking in Danville, Virginia, the vice president told a crowd in the city with a 48.6 percent African-American population, that Mitt Romney and the Republicans want to put them “back in chains.” Later on during the same speech, Biden mimicked the sign language translator’s hands while saying he was getting so “fired up” that the translator would have a hard time.

The Romney campaign immediately fired back at the president’s team and Biden for hitting a “new low.”

“After weeks of slanderous and baseless accusations leveled against Gov. Romney, the Obama campaign has reached a new low,” Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul 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.”

Obama‘s team has embraced Biden’s statement. During an interview with Andrea Mitchell Wednesday, top Obama campaign aide Stefanie Cutter said the president’s team has “no problem” with Biden’s comments. 

During “Real News” Wednesday the panel discussed Biden’s latest gaffe, the race element to the comments, and whether the incumbent VP will be a liability this time around for Obama:

    What gets me about the latest Biden gaffe– the “chains” comment– is that the room was supposedly full of black people… Biden insulted them and they applauded… I don’t get it.
    I am hoping that many of them left the room in anger and disgust and it just wasn’t reported.

    Stick a fork in those two and vote for Romney and Ryan!

    What a Balloonhead, this guy hits his head on the door jam every time he goes to the bathroom. Pookie picked him for comic relief and to deflect any and all arrows over his real issues of incompetense. Biden would be funny if it weren’t for the fact that idiot is a heartbeat away from being president…“NOW THATS SCARY”!

    Biden‘s comments aren’t outrageous, they’re illuminating. The one saving grace I find in this clown, is that he seems unable to cloak his true self in a polite, politically correct disguise. Unlike his fellow Democrats, he constantly betrays himself in public.

    Shara Palin making a remark about Obama picking up Hillary for Vice President was STUPID.
    Apparently she is not the smartest or sharpest tool in the shed. It is like she was not capable of winning so she is trying to knock out Romney.

      Which country would that be that she is embarrassed for? She sure as heck does not belong in this one for she and her pretend president husband do not belong in this country in Our White House. Who would want to play president in some country they did not like and was embarrassed over. These people belong in jail, along with Biden, Holder, Pelosi, Napolitano and that iranian born Jarrett who is helping Obama make policy. Yes, Valrie Jarrett was born in Iran and she is in the White House with Obama directing his every step.

    I’m kind of hearing that a lot of people are just going to vote for Ron Paul anyways, and all those will be wasted votes.

    Hillary Clinton will be able to claim vast foreign experience, because the media keeps showing her over in foreign countries. Haha, Americans are such tools.

      If Obama taps Hillary Clinton for VP, it’s all over for the Romney campaign.

      What about Valarie Jarrett she was born in Iran and that would qualify for foreign experience. They are all trying to destroy this country and should be imprisioned.

    Sounds like Joe Biden might be planning on slipping out of there. Maybe Hillary Clinton will be the VP after all.

      If Hilary was so great, why didn’t they pick her in the first place. Hilary Clinton will go down in history as part of the crowd who tried to overthrow this country. She needs to come clean.
