Biden calls Harris' attack "a mischaracterization of my position across the board."

Bad faith poster Marty1 is back to his old tricks on yet another Urban thread.

I gave you a starting point. I think you can do your own research now

they're hardly likely to adduce concerns about JB and racism where none exist. And as I say it's a starting point for editor who can look for corroborating and indeed further information himself

Usually about half the eligible population abstains and with the way things have split over the past 20 years it's possible the election could come down to very few people as in 2000. So making anyone stay at home could prove more important than it sounds, alongside voter suppression etc.

Of course, that does seem to be the main strategy now, to try to encourage as many people as possible not to vote. Trying to convince everyone that biden is just as corrupt and just as racist just looks like a hard sell. But they have tried with he's also a drug addict and a peadophile too i suppose.

do you mean it's been done badly, that by contrast with djt jb's efforts to send black people to prison pale into insignificance, or that any stains on jb's character should be set to one side atm?

Don't patronise me. If he's being racist now, please produce some credible examples other it appears that you're just joining in with the right wing mud-slinging.

no it doesn't. And here you go again with that perennial favourite, shifting the goal posts. I haven't made any claim he is an active racist, I am pointing out he has a racist past: much as I hate to agree with marty1. There's more on that past here Text-Only NPR.org : Biden Vows To Ease Racial Divisions. Here's His Record. Now, he may have changed his spots, I don't know. And if you're that interested in it you can do your own research.

Hahaha. Thanks for that truly wonderful slab of hypocrisy. It's quite brightened this grey day.

You took issue with m1's he's a known racist
I have posted two links demonstrating a racist past which has had very real impacts on African Americans. Did his time as VP change him? Perhaps. But as the NPR link indicates black voters may not forget what he's done but they are it seems often ready to forgive him. Your original demand for info has been I think satisfied.

I dare say that they are not fond of Trump.
My view, which is based on a skim through various news reports, is that Trump is at desperation stage now, bad polls. which are worsening.
A lot of Americans will not be happy about his 'Multi billionaire, but paying no tax' status, ditto the revelation today that he paid more tax in China than in the US.
Surely he cannot possibly win? Could any electorate be that deluded or stupid?

oh ffs.
Don't you ever do any research?
FTR:, Byrd was for a few years, in his ill-advised youth, a KKK member - as were many white southerners of his era. He left them after a short period, and renounced that long before his death, calling it 'the worst mistake I ever made'. He then, from 1958-2010 was a US Senator, one of the longest-serving ever. By 1970, he ahd fully renounced all his segregationist views (and the KKK), and went over fully to the civil rights side.
Don't take it from me, take it from the NAACP (quote from wiki):
From the 1970s onwards, he was pro-civil rights, and an Admirer of King. He was, by the end of his long Senate career, entirely on the side of the angels. In fact, like many whites from the Deep South, he had been on a journey to enlightenment - and made it to the right side.
Biden spoke at his memorial service because it would have been considered seriously bad form for the next longest-serving senator - and the Presidency's representative there - not to do so.
What an utterly ridiculous piece of evidence.

tbf, it wasn't so much that his past was openly racist - more that he wanted the votes of racists (opposition to school desegragation via busing) and the Laura Norder lobby (the '94 crime bill). He also supported racial integration on housing, which he argued would work better for desegragation than simply focusing on schools.
In other words, he was being yer typical liberal centrist politician - and trying to have it both ways, by reassuring whites. Who knew?

Marty1 isn't interested in anything so mundane as facts, let alone the concepts of remorse or redemption. Anything, anything, that can be dredged up, no matter how much it stinks, and no matter what sewer it was dredged from, is grist to his nasty little inferences-and-hints mill.oh ffs.

And yet, from the outraged threads he periodically posts after yet another thread ban, he obviously expects to be excused for his behaviour in a way he wouldn't countenance doing for the people he chooses to represent as somehow not being up to scratch.
It's hypocrisy.

oh what bollocks! We've heard so much about - and from - Trump, that's infinitesimally worse, that it would barely merit a ripple on the outrage-o-meter

Least noticed poster 2007
This is why a lot of us have a go at M1, Sasaferrato . The only poster (I think) that I join in on. He throws in far right website links when he can get away with it.
I've said it before but if you or Spymaster give your opinion you'll often have a point, and back it up when challenged, M1 just runs away and sniggers until he does it next time. He's just trolling, deserves all the stick he gets. True that it doesn't look good though, but that's also part of what he's here for - ooo look at all the lefties piling in

You do realise that the original NY post story is a complete, steaming pile of horseshit - don't you?Twitter blocked posts relating to a laptop alleged to belong to Hunter Biden (Joe Biden’s son) containing alleged compromising emails between the two or possibly hacking.
Twitter changes policy after Biden article block
Twitter said links to content containing hacked material would now be labelled, rather than removed.www.bbc.co.uk
Looks like Twitter are now going to let the public decide for themselves on this kind of thing but I dare say this could damage Joe Biden’s campaign should any allegations prove to contradict him.
Is this a good position for Twitter to take or have they opened the door for rampant speculation/ loonpoddery?
And that the NY Post is itself a lughing stock, enough of one to make the Sun look like a beacon of serious, heavyweight journalism?

fair enough.
Sass, I get your point about bullying, and you and I are Old Skool Urbz, so we have been on this site long enough to have seen plenty of unpleasant instances of that.
But....in Marty1's case, it's hard to disagree with the arguement that eh brings it on himself. When you, or other r/wing posters, argue a r/w POV, you back it up, used reasoned arguments, cite evidence - you make a case.
Marty1 doesn't. he simply posts up links from dodgy r/w sites, without any ackup explanation = or argument, beyond the odd deeply disingenuous one-liner (this thread has classic examples of that). It's trollbaiting, pure 'n' simple.
tbh, your sense of decency is always evidence, but in this instance somewhat misplaced.

based on every halfway-sensible, credible assessment of the story, and the laughing stock 'newspaper' whence it came, you complete, utter cretin

seconded. Evidence please.
FTR: only one of the current candidates for the Presidency has ever been sued by Federal prosecutors for actually practicing racial discrimination - and it wasn't Biden.
