But then again, his long litany of hate-filled and racist comments already told us that – and since he was addressing a group run by arch-racist Al Sharpton, we shouldn’t be surprised by this.

Speaking at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network event in New York, Biden said President Bush, Newt Gingrich and Karl Rove are responsible for what he called “the politics of polarization.”

Biden said Republicans have created an environment that brings bad things to the United States.

“I would argue, since 1994 with the Gingrich revolution, just take a look at Iraq, Venezuela, Katrina, what’s gone down at Virginia Tech, Darfur, Imus. Take a look. This didn’t happen accidentally, all these things,” he said.

I wish I was stunned – but this is typical of the Party of Hatred, Imbecility, and Surrender.

UPDATE: One newspaper has the courage to speak out.

So if we have this straight - partisan Republicans are now responsible for Imus’ show (on which Biden was a frequent guest) and the massacre at Virginia Tech? And this man thinks he should be president?
