POS, I'm actually concerned for your mental well being. You started a "biden did it too" thread with a "biden did it too" editorial from the NYPost. Now POS, I'm going to type this very very slowly for you: Your thread is about as much about trump as it is biden and the editorial mentions trump.
I hope you can get the help you obviously need.

So its obvious from your deflections that you also agree with Biden that the confederates were nice people. Nice to finally see your true colors, Vern.

MY GOD, you are right! How could we ever allow this thoroughly tainted man, this Joe Biden, obviously as deeply despicable as Donny "Save the Confederacy" Trump to have become our Liberal choice for the Presidency?
I mean, it is a total equivalency, what Joe Biden said one time only, under the color of a Senatorial Supreme Court Justice Nomination Confirmation Hearing decorum to one time only refer that the group in question was "... made up of many fine people... ".
Yes. Joe is every bit as despicable as Donny for having, under the decorum of a Senate Confirmation hearing, referred to "many" not all, members of that group as "fine people". That is exactly as bad as Donny repeatedly promoting the "many fine people" marching in Charlottesville in the racist group. That one time only comment by Joe Biden in 1993 is completely equivalent to Donny stating he would flat out veto any bill that came to his desk, any Defense Spending Bill, funding our AMERICAN Military if it has an amendment, a Pocahontas submitted amendment, Pocahantas aka Senator Elizabeth Warren, authorizing removing the names from our AMERICAN Military bases, of RACIST SLAVERS and TRAITORS to the UNION, these were very un-fine folks, who went to war against the Union aka AMERICA. Yes what Joe Biden said, one time only, back in 1993, under the color of Senate decorum should truly be judged as equally disqualifying for the Presidency as all the times Donny has proven his penchant for praising and protecting those actual confederate slavers and traitors and those who still hold them in esteem.
I agree. What Joe Biden said, in 1993, said one time only, can only be judged as unfitting of him being president as what Donny just said, YESTERDAY, that he "Trump vows to veto $740 billion defense bill if Confederate-named military bases are renamed" [Washington Post Headline].
I am so glad that you brought candidate Joe Biden's wretched despicableness to my-our attention!
No doubt about it, I'll vote for Trump now!

Why would saying such a thing disqualify anyone at all. Either one of them.

Pos, is there a poster here you consider a friend. I want him to come tell you that not only is this thread about trump because its a "biden did it too" thread and not only did the article mention trump as it too was a "biden did it too" article but you mentioned trump in the very first post of this thread.
I just think you need help to understand simple facts. Ive seen this before where a conservative (or conservative like poster is just unable to grasp the simple facts and needs help to do so.
and fyi, the DOC is just a country club for rich women. they're not a ugly violent racist group like Trump's "fine people".

Ask the person who started this thread.
He seems to be saying what Biden said one time only back in 1993 under the color of Senate decorum should be as disqualifying as what Trump keeps defending and promoting here, now, today and yesterday, all through his presidency.
Personally, technically speaking, I don't think those are disqualifying themes for either man.
However, as far as comparing what then Senator Joe Biden said, ONE TIME ONLY, back in 1993 in a Senate Confirmation hearing, under the color of that House of Congresses Senatorial decorum, when compared against what Trump has said and defends about racist folks at Charlottesville, what he has said about other instances of racism, what he has done (his EO) to further protect slaver-traitor memorials, what he is planning to do to halt must pass military funding in order to preserve and protect the confederate slaver-traitor names affixed to 10 of our AMERICAN MILITARY bases, well there is just no comparison.
On this issue alone, Trump sucks, BIGLY, in real time, compared to then Senator Joe Biden and what he said, ONE TIME ONLY, back in 1993.

To me, the person who started the thread seemed to be making the same point I was.
I hope Biden picks Harris for his VP so she can explain why Biden wasn't racially insensitive after all.

For the record, Joe Biden didn't, in that one time only pronouncement, back in 1993, call all of those members of the UDC "fine people".
Further that one time only comment about "many" but not all members of the UDC being "fine" people was no endorsement by Joe Biden of the group or of its seeking a Federal charter allowing them a design patent containing the confederate flag.
Should he have called "many" members of that group "fine" people?
No.
But alas Senate decorum no doubt got the best of Joe.
What the OP fails to point out is that in the same speech before the Ginsberg confirmation hearing members and witnesses how he mentions that he "... went into public office to further the cause of 'civil rights'".
So I find it humorously astounding how Rush and Sean et al and all the good little Trump Stupid's, the Trump bootlickers are all trying to make an alleged racist Joe haystack out of a ONE TIME ONLY Senate hearing comment uttered 27 years ago, they are trying to make that racist haystack out of one tiny little stem of hay that wasn't any endorsement of the UDC.
Trump Stupid's are such a hoot!

The point you both try to make fails.
What Joe did back in 1993, one time only, under the color and decorum of a Senate Confirmation hearing and what Trump has done as president and is continuing to do as president are not in the least bit equivalent.
They just aren't.
Some folks just don't understand content and context.
But that is OK.
I expect that failure from many fine folks.

Wrong. As Ive said in the OP (its clear you didnt read it) is that Biden is no better than Trump.
Ah the truth comes out- you are a fan of the DOC (probably a member too). Since they venerate the KKK and the Lost Cause movement, then Im also sure you are for keeping these Confederate statues and their proudly displaying their rebel flag.

er uh POS, I wish you could read what you wrote. You literally just admitted that you started a "biden did it too" thread. Hence discussing trump is not a "watabout" as you falsely claimed. And you falsely claimed that the article you linked didnt mention trump. If you could just pull out of this spiraling victimhood funk you are clearly in you could see you've posted repeated falsehoods.
And your victim complex has you imagining things again. I've stated no support for the DOC.

So your point appears to be that the statements themselves don't stand on their own.
But you have to establish certain qualifying circumstances around both statements (at least one of which you're mistaken about) by both men in order for you to conclude one is worse than the other.

There is nothing mistaken on my part about any of this.
Actually no. My point is the statements do very much stand on their own in content and context.
The content and the context are the qualifying circumstances.
That is exactly why the point you try to make fails, falls flat on the face.

The only way it can be wrong is if Biden didnt say it. Do you have proof that the news story is a lie?
You called them just a country club for rich women, they are (in your mind) completely innocent and have no ties with the Klan, even though the past news reports clearly state there was a link, and to the Lost Cause- which includes Confederate statues- you know, the ones your kind are looking to ban...
Youre not very good at this, Vern, know what I mean?

Yes POS, I called them a country club for rich women. And the ties to the klan thing was 90 years ago. Neither of those statements are me saying "completely innocent." Anyhoo, lets speak about something more recent: your dishonesty. You called any mention of trump a "watabout". You whined pretty good about it. Now you admit that you indeed started a "biden did it too" thread. you also lied when your article didnt even mention trump. Here's you admiting this is nothing but a "biden did it too" thread
Here's one of your "watabout" whines
Here's where you lied what was in the article
again I ask, is there someone at this forum you consider a friend. I would like to involve him or her in this discussion.

Then why don't you quote the content and describe the context of both statements for comparison purposes?
Otherwise it's just bluster.

Why can't you understand the content and context?
Frankly I don't think you even remotely understand what is a fair comparison of those two quotes in their content and context.
But that is not surprising.
Seldom do folks like you and Trump Stupid's ever understand the fullness of context and content.

To analyze & then understand a comparison you have to be able to show the content and context in their fullness.
You still haven't.
Since I know them I can see that you don't and I guess that's why you haven't produced them.
Probably because you're ill-informed about both you came to your flawed conclusion.
Maybe it's to be expected when you limit your information sources.

I have pointed out, repeatedly, why they are not really comparable. You just don't get it.
That is because you wish to remain blind and in denial.
You failed to show how they are comparable.
I am sorry you don't have a clue about all of this, but I have pointed it out.
Keep trying, maybe one day you might get it.

You haven't pointed out anything, other than your opinion, about the actual quotes to me.
Why are you so afraid to reproduce the entire quotes from both Trump and Biden?
I think you may have looked up the quotes and realize now you made a huge mistake.
Otherwise you'd be anxious to prove your point with the actual quotes.
If you still don't do it now it's equivalent to an admission of error.
