Still more bwa ha ha ha. This NAACP thing is the gift that's just going to keep on giving:

Vice President Biden said Sunday that neither he nor the president thinks the Tea Party is a "racist organization," after the NAACP voted Tuesday to condemn the "racist elements" in the conservative activist movement.

Biden, speaking on ABC's "This Week," said both members and those on the "periphery" of the movement have expressed "racist views" which he described as "really unfortunate."

Yeah, I'm certain that Obama, nor his wife who spoke at the same damn convention, had any idea or any say that this was going on.

Wow. Is that Joe Biden with the easy lay up? "Wait? What? The NAACP called the Tea Party racist? What? How'd that happen? Huh? Oh. Yeah. Well the president and I uhh don't agree with that at all! Yeah we had no idea this contraversy was even happening ::wink wink::".

Meanwhile, there are some baffled people on the other side:

If this seems surprising, it shouldn’t be.  The NAACP has a goal; minimizing the Democratic Party’s losses in 2012 (via the use of a smear campaign).  Vice President Biden also has a goal; re-electing the President (and, incidentally, himself) in 2012.  The two goals are incompatible. A Democratic majority in Congress means that the President will either have to assert control over determining the nature of the bills that get submitted for his signature, or else have to sign more popularity-killing monstrosities like the stimulus or Obamacare. 

lol whut? Come on Moe! I've come to expect Win By Losing posts from both sides of the aisle, but this soon? Over the NAACP none the less?

I shouldn't really rip Redstate. It is a well written site. I actually think it's in a reall tough position of trying to keep the clicks up while still reporting truthiness without getting run out of the party. That is to say, every time Erikson tries to say that the Tea Party isn't taken seriously even by the GOP, he has to code it in this meme of betrayal and veil it with "well those republicans have to watch out! They don't want to anger the tea party! Mandate!". I'm pretty sure, that smart guys like Erikson don't believe that shit. As a matter of fact, I think most people set the expiration date of the tea party to be right about the time a new CSI spinoff starts, pro-wrestling hits a new plot, or somebody in NASCAR dies in a wreck.

Biden is not smart enough to make a statement with a "wink, wink".  He is stupid enough to make a statement he thinks is true (or politically correct) that sounds stupid and is.

Biden has stupidly become Obama's lackey.  He's become all wrapped up in Obama's radical Socialist extension of government.  Biden has long ago lost sight of its constitutional responsiblilities to citizens.
