This gaffe has more of the 'stupid' than 'offensive' in it and will therefore probably not have much effect.

The comment was about Wall Street and regulation, which is a hardly a racial issue. Of course, it's easier to turn it into a racial issue than actually discuss the issue at hand.

Damn, I saw part of the speech, but didn't get to this.  I wonder what the crowd reaction was?

This wasn't a gaffe. Republicans are the last ones to be calling something racist and offensive.

The crowd laughed at it. They found it funny.

This was at the same event where Biden told his Virginia audience that "with you we can win North Carolina again" and mocked the sign language interpreter.

Keep it classy, Joe!

Man, I hope this painfully moronic stooge runs for President again. I'll love watching him get stomped on (again).

By the way, I love how "dangerous" the Tea Party rhetoric is but this? Oh, just laugh it off.

Apparently the Democrat party isn't the party of the disabled.

Danville is on the VA/NC border. I'm sure there were plenty of North Carolinians in the audience, and it's been a well-known strategy that excess resources and virtually all volunteers from adjacent states (TN, GA, SC, VA) be directed to help out with the NC campaign via phone banking, canvassing, etc.

I'd say we are, seeing as how we don't classify people who can just as effectively and fluently speak a language as you as "disabled".

Joe Biden's flaw as a candidate: he comes off as a regular person instead of a polished candidate.

Paul Ryan's flaw: he has a worldview that that goes against what 75% of Americans believe.

Hmm I wonder which one is more damaging...

Considering that Virginia is a swing state that Obama really needs to win the election,  I doubt there will be many Virginians wasting their time trying to win a state that leans even more Republican.  They will focus on Virginia.

It's pretty clear that Biden was supposed to say Virginia.

Ah, I get it: say something that's offensive and dangerous and it's ok! You come across as "real."

I really don't see what was "dangerous" about what Joe Biden said here.

Yes, Biden sincerely believes that Romney wants to enslave the "99%" and wasn't joking. Tell yourself whatever you need to hear to justify your pulling the lever for the Republican...
