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.

Next up on Soledad, why are Romney and Ryan injecting racial themes & code-words into this campaign?

@mkhammer so racist

#tonightonsoledad, the new social of "Presidents With Benefits." Is this the way to his heart, or am I just being a fool, like my mom says?

#tonightonsoledad, my heart-radio is sending out 50,000 watts of pure blazing love for Barack Obama.

It is my mission to further The Truth. "The Truth" is what I call Barack Obama.

#tonightonsoledad, I gaze wistfully at an old Obama poster and practice signing my name "Soledad O'Brien-Obama" (See how it rolls!!!)

Tonight on Soledad, the Top Five Vacation Destinations I'd like to go with Barack Obama.

@MelissaTweets @JammieWF racist. Cite: Everyone thinks so.

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
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 14, 2012
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.
