14. Exactly -- the connotation intended doesn't even matter

His comments were insulting and patronizing no matter how you look at them. As if a qualified and ethical African American candidate was some kind of anomaly, or new phenomenon. As if the only barrier in the past had been the qualifications of African American politicians, and that the problem was solved with Obama.

Biden is not adding anything to the discussion. He is dragging us backwards with his tone-deafness.

I refuse to defend him just because he is a Dem, and just because the news media are idiots. If a Repub had said such a thing, we would be outraged, and rightfully so.
