Ha! When two news items collide, the result is spectacular. As Twitchy reported, Vice President Biden shamefully said that the GOP was “going to put you back in chains,” while giving a speech in Danville, Va., today. And yesterday, Soledad “Wikipedia is my source” O’Brien was caught on-air using a printout of an email consisting of, well, talking points from liberal blog Talking Points Memo.

She hasn’t been fired … yet. But the awesome Ace of Spades is taking her to task as only he can. Other Twitter users join in and the results are gold, Jerry. Gold.
@mkhammer You are made of hatred and lies.

Which brings it all back to Biden’s deplorable, race-baiting “chains” remark.
"Half true." RT@DrewMTips: I dare @politifact and @GlennKesslerWP to "fact" check Biden's "put you back in chains" line.

No need! Soledad has already “fact checked.”
Politifact: We rate Biden's chains claim as "mostly true." (Via a commenter on a blog I use for research)

The highest, independent fact-checking authority available — Barack Obama — has already said he has "no problem" with Biden's chains claim

She so wishes it was fact checking with benefits! Keep it coming, Twitter. Once again, you are doing the job that the “real journalists” won’t do.
