Vice president Joe Biden spoke in Danville, Va., today and resorted to disgusting race-baiting comments. Will the press swoon like they did over his “clean and articulate” speech to the NAACP? Our Magic 8 Ball says “most likely.”
Breaking: Obama campaign dispatches senile old man who doesn't know what state he's in to babble slavery metaphors.

More from The Washington Free Beacon:
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: They’ve said it. Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the—he said in the first 100 days, he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules–unchain Wall Street. They’re going to put y’all back in chains. He’s said he’s going to do nothing about stopping the practice of outsourcing…
Hey, what’s a little reprehensible race-baiting and slavery metaphors when The One and his idjit VP have an election to win! New tone, shmew tone. Demonizing fellow Americans and trying to use and abuse minorities is totally acceptable, if one has a (D) next to one’s name. And, you know, has the press licking his boots.
Biden probably told his black audience that Romney would put them "in chains" and then praised Obamacare with a straight face.

Yep. But that wasn’t all. In addition to the above gross display, he had several gaffe moments, as always.
Why cover for him? RT @CarrieNBCNews Biden in Danville (close to the border, but in VA): "With your help, we can win North Carolina again!"

Biden doesn’t know decency and he also doesn’t know where he is. Yet, the press tries to excuse it. Why? That’s what happens when you can’t see past the huge buckets of water one is carrying. Citizens, however, see right through it and call the vice president out on his idiocy.

“Doing just fine,” y’all! If you can escape the “chains” and the math witch, natch.

@MoreTimeForMom Don't thank me ma'am. Thank Biden. He's the comic genius here.

Hey, I've just been told that Danville – that's Danville VA, Joe Biden. Not NC – was briefly a Confederate capital. Feeling nostalgic, Joe?

So Obama has deployed lumbering moron Joe Biden to make the strident, Malcolm X style racial appeals he doesn't dare himself?

Ari Fleischer brings it all home. Talk about double standards.
Biden, who once likened Tparty 2terrorism, 2day said, "Romney is ‘going to put y’all back in chains". Who's the extremist??

The press pounded Palin when she talked about "blood libel". What will they do about Biden's "chains" remark?
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) August 14, 2012
The press pounded Bachmann for getting Elvis' birthday wrong. What will they do to Biden after what he said today??
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) August 14, 2012
In addition to the obvious gaffe, it's the chains part of what Biden said that's objectionable.
— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) August 14, 2012
And these Twitter users sum it all up.
Pretty solid Biden outing. Got name of state wrong and said opposition will "..put y'all back in chains again." What a weapon.

Remember, this is the man whom the Obama campaign said they would rather have on its team than “any of the motley crew” from which Romney will choose a running mate.
Is it any wonder he had such a crowd fail yesterday?

Yes, Joe. And voters don’t like your set.

Update: Obama campaign says President Obama agrees with Biden’s contemptible remarks.
