- andrusk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Isn't it Bidens comment that should be considered offensive and not the discussion of said comment?
- miketrash, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The shaky camera effect is almost as annoying as the people on the show.
- Reaganomicon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Conservatives suck at being (intentionally) funny. All the best comics are lefties -- David Cross, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, etc.
- bettermentflux, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1No. Biden said: Obama is “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean."
As ignorant and insensitive as that was, there's an order of magnitude difference between that and saying that what the Fox panelist said about Oprah douching. There is no way on earth that the comment wasn't intended to be as provocative as possible.

Hmm... looks like a problem with the new Digg comment system. This is in reply to @andrusk, below. - zota, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I hope that the public career of Greg Gutfeld is a sign of the apocalypse. If it's not, we are already living in hell.

In the past two elections, the only black candidate for the democratic nomination that has had a SHRED of qualification was Carol Moseley-Braun. Sharpton puts on a good show, but he's got a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting the nomination.
So no, I don't see how Biden's comment is offensive. If someone were calling me "articulate, bright and clean" I'd thank them for the nice words. 'Cause the Moseley-Braun's don't stick in our collective memory.. but the Sharpton's do.
Besides, Obama's just as white as he is black.
