Article: Black lawmakers get Biden's back amid 'segregationist' uproar emulatorloo Jun 2019 #1
Why is criticising a political opponent "smearing" them? nt JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #3
I changed the wording before you posted. Booker should concentrate on his own strengths imho emulatorloo Jun 2019 #5
Sorry I was not fast enough. Joe should focus on the future... JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #12
Biden isn't a segregationist or racist. False attacks like this will probably backfire I am afraid. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #32
I'm sorry but since I did not say either of the things you are saying I said... JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #37
Goodnight Joe. As I say I enjoy reading your OPs. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #39
Every night is great to me... JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #40

When a black man says "You don't joke about calling black men 'boys" Autumn Jun 2019 #46
Autumn, I'll just say mischaracterization of what any of our candidates say doesn't sit well with me emulatorloo Jun 2019 #51
My eye roll was not directed at you. One does not expect a black man, in this day and age Autumn Jun 2019 #58
Agreed no apologies. OTOH this will be out of the news cycle in a day or so emulatorloo Jun 2019 #77
Thank you!! Certainly more posters should have your kind civility Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #86
Even in that article, they only cite 3 CBC members who said it was fine tishaLA Jun 2019 #14
I no longer would support Booker for the national ticket. Grasswire2 Jun 2019 #82
Why? Booker has a unique experience here as an African-American man. dawg day Jun 2019 #103
Thank you!! This should have put an end to calling Biden just short of an unfeeling racist...but Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #85
Biden is not a segregationist sympathizer vlyons Jun 2019 #101
In the last couple weeks HopeAgain Jun 2019 #2
it will be endless Skittles Jun 2019 #7
Seems like a mischaracterization of everthing Biden said. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #10
Odd, I don't see that cause I would report it. nt JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #15
I think your bias won't allow you to "see" it. We all have our biases so that's cool. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #18
👍🏼 nt Nuggets Jun 2019 #33
It's not that he's a pervert HopeAgain Jun 2019 #89
The thing about not being called a boy really got me. Blue_true Jun 2019 #72
That was the point of the (poor) joke. crazytown Jun 2019 #81
Yeah, the boy comment bothered me too, not the overall statement. cwydro Jun 2019 #93
I just now heard Biden's comment on CNN...omg Indygram Jun 2019 #4
The utter lack of self-awareness in Biden is so discouraging. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2019 #6
Yeah like he not knowing that a hateful White racist would NEVER call him "boy". nt Blue_true Jun 2019 #74
It convinced me to never even consider Cory. OhZone Jun 2019 #8
Same here. nt Kahuna7 Jun 2019 #9
And me as well... hey Cory find something positive and go after it. Your negativity isn't working Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #30
Booker can do much better than that. Boneheaded decision by his campaign staff IMHO emulatorloo Jun 2019 #13
Haven't considered him since Al Franken. LakeArenal Jun 2019 #49
THIS !!!! uponit7771 Jun 2019 #99
Biden is self destructing much sooner than I thought he would mtnsnake Jun 2019 #11
He's only self destructing in the eyes who would like him to self destruct George II Jun 2019 #17
A lot of wishful thinking. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #20
Love your parody account. Drunken Irishman Jun 2019 #22
It seems pretty obvious why his campaign shanny Jun 2019 #29
Boom! nt JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #42
I think August. After a couple of debates. nt Autumn Jun 2019 #48
No he didn't. I wholeheartedly supported Booker for Senator, and he was the FIRST candidate.... George II Jun 2019 #16
Yes he is. And Joe is making my case by saying Cory is wrong when he was.... JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #24
No he doesn't. Cory is wrong, and HE should apologize. I'm VERY disappointed with Booker..... George II Jun 2019 #27
Why for opposing a political opponent? nt JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #31
It's the manner in which a candidate opposes a political opponent. George II Jun 2019 #45
Exactly! OhZone Jun 2019 #105
The same Cory Booker who defended Romney over Obama and the Bain attacks? Drunken Irishman Jun 2019 #19
I like Booker. And I definitely remember that bizarre attack on Obama. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #21

Of course. George II Jun 2019 #25
Thanks! I've been trying to find it! nt JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #26
Was hoping you would chime in with a positive video about Candidate Booker's many strengths emulatorloo Jun 2019 #36
Why? melman Jun 2019 #38
Of course I don't object to Booker's comments being posted. I just want to see positivity from you emulatorloo Jun 2019 #41
Really? melman Jun 2019 #47
What Booker said is part of the record and the discussion. Of course it should be posted. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #53

You are an excellent poster. That's the truth. emulatorloo Jun 2019 #57
Him/her being a die-hard BS supporter you won't see that. Damaging the front runner in the hopes... George II Jun 2019 #55
That's going to be all over the news tomorrow. Biden is now unelectable. ecstatic Jun 2019 #79
I don't see it that way at all Skittles Jun 2019 #80

no one Skittles Jun 2019 #65
Thanks! nt JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #66
it's easier to accuse that than to admit he just says stupid things Skittles Jun 2019 #70
The complaint is that he is a tone deaf Voltaire2 Jun 2019 #95
Not funny...and so many impressed with candidates who appearto have no chance to win a general. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #61
Except for Joe? nt JoeOtterbein Jun 2019 #62

What did Cory say on CNN? I don't have cable. robbedvoter Jun 2019 #98
These clearly disingenuous attacks on Biden are from desperation. BlueTsunami2018 Jun 2019 #102
This! OhZone Jun 2019 #104
