At least Biden isn't staffing his campaign with Stein voters emulatorloo May 2019 #16
Yes and the terrible staff choices are very much in the present. we can do it May 2019 #28
Indeed, and they are all toxic. We aren't seeing anything like that from anyone else emulatorloo May 2019 #32

Well, I SURE AS HELL knew bush was lying.... pangaia May 2019 #65
We all knew...what's important though is that Bernie sure as hell wasn't fooled by the Shrub's lies. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #76
But what about 1998? ehrnst May 2019 #84
Oh, c'mon! That was 1998! How far back are you going to go to find this stuff???? George II May 2019 #116
And well, it's different because REASONS!!! (nt) ehrnst May 2019 #117
What about the judgement of someone who voted for military intervention in Iraq twice in one year? ehrnst May 2019 #82
Easy to quarterback from up in the balcony section. Amimnoch May 2019 #89
kudos for this Fresh_Start May 2019 #105
Yes he did melman May 2019 #3
He didn't "just" say it, and people should read/watch the entire video, not just four or five words. George II May 2019 #5
like clockwork melman May 2019 #6
What's that supposed to mean? George II May 2019 #8
I see here in my meticulous records of what DUers write... MineralMan May 2019 #26

Yep, that's what I wrote. ehrnst May 2019 #100
Did this "surgical editing" melman May 2019 #107
I see you're going to refuse to watch the whole video. ehrnst May 2019 #108
I like the way you put that, 14 seconds from a 50+ minute appearance is surgically edited. George II May 2019 #104
FOUR YEARS AGO, not "just", and it was a passing comment lifted out of a long discussion. George II May 2019 #4
Yes, it's always like that it seems. "I like you, but..." kind of R B Garr May 2019 #11
It wasn't said in passing. When the moderator asked about Cheney, it's what Biden led off with. Demit May 2019 #58
It's taken out of context from long ago, something the Repukes love to do FakeNoose May 2019 #7
Did ya hear that the United States "just" declared their independence from Britain? George II May 2019 #10
I think Morning Joe keeps a powdered wig in his closet FakeNoose May 2019 #13
SO what Biden did/said as VICE PRESIDENTdoesn't matter? uawchild May 2019 #74
Biden was Vice President for 2,922 days, not just 14 seconds in 2015. George II May 2019 #77
I realize you support and like Joe... uawchild May 2019 #87
It was part of a discussion about the Bush-Cheney presidency that went on for awhile. Demit May 2019 #21

It's not that old either. BlueStater May 2019 #25

Good point. People in glass houses... highplainsdem May 2019 #20

How about that? (nt) ehrnst May 2019 #86
This is quite different. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #124
Actually it's much, much worse. revmclaren May 2019 #133
"Praising" is a conclusion. Not what he said. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #134
Sorry...you don't get to redefine praise revmclaren May 2019 #137
I worked in litigation, so I know the difference between words & a conclusion about words. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #138
... revmclaren May 2019 #140
If you'd listened a few more seconds, you'd have heard the commentary that there was nothing wrong highplainsdem May 2019 #17
Getting along & working with others is very different from declaring someone to be "decent." Honeycombe8 May 2019 #27
Doesn't bother me. That's the second time I heard him use decent for a political opponent. marylandblue May 2019 #34
Maybe he means he doesn't grab women by their privates and mock disabled people. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #129
And therein lies a major problem. progressoid May 2019 #123
No, he didn't "just say" anything of the sort. emulatorloo May 2019 #23
It was from 2015. nt Honeycombe8 May 2019 #29
I know. Not sure why it is being brought up in 2019. emulatorloo May 2019 #30
Everything Biden ever did will be dragged out in public for dissection. marylandblue May 2019 #40
I think many of us know why it's being brought up in 2019. George II May 2019 #46
Dunno, this might be good background info regarding this noise. emulatorloo May 2019 #55
Definitely interesting timing for a Sanders group to release this edited video, isn't it?(nt) ehrnst May 2019 #115
He said it while he was Vice President. Isn't that the basis of his campaign, he was Obama's VP? Demit May 2019 #62
so Biden's tenure as Vice President now doesn't matter? uawchild May 2019 #81
It was brought up in 2019 because Biden is running for President. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #131
Of course melman May 2019 #47
Do you realize that discussion between Biden, Mondale, and the moderator was more than 14 seconds? George II May 2019 #24
Thank you. Tipperary May 2019 #57
I timed the full discussion about Cheney. It was around 7 minutes. Demit May 2019 #66

No, he didn't JUST say it. He said it four years ago, MineralMan May 2019 #38
Being rude is not a desirable quality in a President Jose Garcia May 2019 #39
Oh go away!! This was posted yesterday... besides being a very old clip... STOP!!! Thekaspervote May 2019 #41
If this clip is very old, then Biden's vice presidency is very old. Demit May 2019 #69
Do you know who edited it and posted it? ehrnst May 2019 #111
Joe, Michelle and Obama like Bush, who is the one responsible for the war Skya Rhen May 2019 #43
this seems normal to me KayF May 2019 #51
My only question is, are there any clips of Cheney saying anything nice about a Dem? yaesu May 2019 #53
Good question... doubt it!! InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #56
You heard right... but, I'm guessing Joe's evolved on Dick's decency. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #54
He's not going to win the primary race. BeckyDem May 2019 #59
LONG before 2015... Joe COULD win, though statements like this only make it more difficult... InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #60
But he tried long before 2015 and lost then too. BeckyDem May 2019 #61
True, Joe lost two previous primary elections, but one was to Obama... InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #73
Which two primary elections did he lose, in which states? In fact he didn't lose any, not one. George II May 2019 #79
1988 was a disaster for Biden uawchild May 2019 #92
I'm very familiar with his previous candidacies, but he didn't lose a single primary. George II May 2019 #95
Biden's record on the national stage wasn't awe inspiring, was it? uawchild May 2019 #99
He's been on the national stage longer than any other candidate we have.... George II May 2019 #106
Biden has been on the national stage for a long time, perhaps too long? uawchild May 2019 #110
Lol. Dick Cheney has nothing to do with nothing. MrsCoffee May 2019 #67
ok, whatever you say. There will be no looking back on Biden's war vote, either. BeckyDem May 2019 #71
Ok, whatever you say, good luck with Trump. MrsCoffee May 2019 #72
I am not moving any goal posts, its called looking at his record in context and it is not good. BeckyDem May 2019 #75
I have no fear of the primaries. MrsCoffee May 2019 #130
Nothing was taken out of context, that is Joe Biden. BeckyDem May 2019 #132
And others like him? MrsCoffee May 2019 #142
This is primary season. BeckyDem May 2019 #143
In Other News, Was Adolph Hitler REALLY So Bad? DoctorJoJo May 2019 #63

Which is why Republicans are hoping Sanders becomes the Democratic nominee. highplainsdem May 2019 #85

Interesting where you found that interestingly and surgically edited clip. ehrnst May 2019 #88
The whole video is on Youtube. I invite you to watch it all, sans surgery. Demit May 2019 #90
I did. And the editing job on the one in the OP excludes a lot of context. ehrnst May 2019 #91
Well, see, I don't think the context contradicts it in any way. Demit May 2019 #101
