..."they want to put "y'all" back in chains"...

Come on Joe, don't try to connect with your phony southern syntax. You're from Delaware not Virginny. And enough with the implied slavery.

It just gives the media soundbites that make you look like a crazy grandpa.

Just tell the truth about the rightwing and their destructive ideas without being too hyperbolic that end up as rightwing talking points of stupidity.

On Edit:

Don't I look and feel like a jackass....

I didn't realize the context of Biden's comment. Here I went and posted, like a reactionary, how Biden's comments were hurtful to the Obama campaign because it gives the other side rhetorical ammo to use against them. I didn't realize Biden's comment before the "yall" statement was that "They want to un-shackle Wall St".

I didn't get that context from the radio news I was listening to when I first heard that statement. My bad for thinking the media was being forthright in their reporting of his comments.

In a way it makes my point that the media distorts their message and helps the other side.

My apologies.
