Oh, this is just one of those silly hilarious campaign things that makes watching politics so fun ...
Remember conservative outrage -
outrage, I tell you! - about Biden's "chains" remark? Of course you do, you were outraged, too! It was racist! Right?
Mitt Romney said this about Biden-Obama:
Quote:
Mitt Romney leveled his harshest criticism of President Obama's reelection campaign to date in Ohio Tuesday, declaring that Obama should "take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago." [...]
Referring to Joe Biden's comment that Romney and Republicans would let big business put Americans "back in chains" Romney said Obama's "campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the presidency. Another outrageous charge just came a few hours ago in Virginia."
"This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like," Romney said.
According to Romney, Biden's comments proved that Obama was running a racist campaign. "The divisiveness based upon income, age, ethnicity, and so forth, it's designed to bring a sense of enmity and jealousy and anger," he said.

Wow!
And Sarah Palin said this about Biden-Obama:
Quote:
Sarah Palin said Tuesday that Vice President Joe Biden’s remark that Republicans “are going to put y’all back in chains” was “disgusting” — and added that it should make the Obama campaign seriously consider kicking him off the Democratic ticket.
The former GOP vice presidential candidate told Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren that Biden’s comment at a Tuesday rally in Danville, Va., should mark “the nail in the coffin” for the vice president.

So of course, yesterday on Fodder Of Xenophobes News, Sarah Palin says this, below:
Quote:
"It's doable, it's winnable, Missouri is. And that leads to winning the Senate. And that leads to reversing a lot of the things that Obama and Biden have done to put our children and grandchildren in the chains of dependency".

Cue the right wing outrage! We are just waiting for Mitt Romney to call her out on her remarks, exactly as she and he did on Biden. Oh, the outrage! The horror! How can a campaign say such a thing! "Chains"? on our children and grandchildren? Racist! Terrible! Hate! Anger! Division! Losing!
Will Mitt say: "Sarah Palin, my surrogate, you disgrace my campaign - take your campaign of anger and hate back to Alaska - this is what an angry and desperate conservative campaign looks like"
I love watching politics. Just. Love. It.
