Did you hear Biden’s response to the question about compensation for African Americans whose ancestors were slaves? He said “why not give “em all a carton of Newports and call it a wash”.....That could either help or hurt him in the polls.

Ralph Northam is down with that plan. He's got rope for them too...
Not that it matters anymore.

Do you consider that racist? Would it have been better if he said Camels?
I was just kidding, pretty funny, eh?
Hard to believe they didn't catch on that Biden didn't actually say that.
On the other hand....no it isn't.

If Trump had said that, they would defend it to the end. They are defending what he said about Congressman Dingle being in hell....TDS indeed.
Yep...and look at the responses when they thought Biden said it. OH MY GOD!!! How dare he talk like The Donald. LOL
I'd bet that before the New Years there will be Trump toadies here or elsewhere who will start bashing Mrs. Dingell. That's the way they roll.

This is a result of Hannitization. Roger Ailes carefully trained Sean over years and wrote script for him which was designed to make his followers mean and nasty so that instead of arguing policy they would just follow Ailes/Hannity lead of viciously personally attacking political opponents, their families and deal in sleazy innuendo. Newt Gingrich first suggested this type of political discourse in the ‘80s but Roger Ailes made it into an art form in the late ‘90s with the power of Fox News.
Rush Limbaugh was a shock jock up in Sacramento who was very popular and pretty funny making about 35k a year. He was always railing against liberal women and coined the phrase Feminist. He had never even registered to vote until 1988 and he was recruited by the right wing to be their political spokesman and fed material from right wing think tanks and given a huge platform on 50-60 radio stations owned by a right wing outfit called Clear Channell. Rush was a brilliant radio broadcaster and he was the precursor to Ailes and Fox News. He utilized Newt’s ideology of demonizing political opponents by calling them Commies, perverts, and generally sub human.
On this or any other political forum, you can see clearly that this 30 year plan has been a resounding success. Many of those here have gained their whole political perspective by eating up all of the carefully crafted and brilliantly delivered crap that these first rate propagandists have been churning out 24/7/365 for over 20 years.
I have friends that I have known and grown up with since the ‘60s that have turned into mean, racist, sexist dolts who used to be open minded, curious, free thinking people. The common denominator among them is Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh.
They are Hannitized Ditto Heads now and are continually making snide comments about Mexicans taking over California, lazy welfare people etc. They are now miserable whining little pricks whose wives have all ditched them and they blame it on liberals, Mexicans, black welfare recipients. Trump is now their hero because he who was also schooled by Roger Ailes knows how to push their well greased buttons.

Well...it honestly wouldn't be all that surprising if Biden had said it. I have little doubt we will be graced with plenty of moronic sound bites. Give Joe a microphone and he will find a way.
