Indeed, and they are all toxic. We aren't seeing anything like that from anyone else

We all knew...what's important though is that Bernie sure as hell wasn't fooled by the Shrub's lies.

Oh, c'mon! That was 1998! How far back are you going to go to find this stuff????

What about the judgement of someone who voted for military intervention in Iraq twice in one year?

He didn't "just" say it, and people should read/watch the entire video, not just four or five words.

I like the way you put that, 14 seconds from a 50+ minute appearance is surgically edited.

FOUR YEARS AGO, not "just", and it was a passing comment lifted out of a long discussion.

It wasn't said in passing. When the moderator asked about Cheney, it's what Biden led off with.

Did ya hear that the United States "just" declared their independence from Britain?

It was part of a discussion about the Bush-Cheney presidency that went on for awhile.

I worked in litigation, so I know the difference between words & a conclusion about words.

If you'd listened a few more seconds, you'd have heard the commentary that there was nothing wrong

Getting along & working with others is very different from declaring someone to be "decent."

Doesn't bother me. That's the second time I heard him use decent for a political opponent.

Maybe he means he doesn't grab women by their privates and mock disabled people.

Definitely interesting timing for a Sanders group to release this edited video, isn't it?(nt)

He said it while he was Vice President. Isn't that the basis of his campaign, he was Obama's VP?

Do you realize that discussion between Biden, Mondale, and the moderator was more than 14 seconds?

My only question is, are there any clips of Cheney saying anything nice about a Dem?

LONG before 2015... Joe COULD win, though statements like this only make it more difficult...

Which two primary elections did he lose, in which states? In fact he didn't lose any, not one.

I'm very familiar with his previous candidacies, but he didn't lose a single primary.

ok, whatever you say. There will be no looking back on Biden's war vote, either.

I am not moving any goal posts, its called looking at his record in context and it is not good.

Which is why Republicans are hoping Sanders becomes the Democratic nominee.

This issue reflects far worse on those outraged than it does on Biden, IMO

They all do that. When something hits the news, the others either copy OR it's released by AP...

I wouldn't call that "dirt." It's a public forum on a stage that was televised, not long ago.
