Joe Biden urges you to 'take back America!' Obama and Holder say 'that's racist!'

On Monday, Joe Biden appeared in Detroit where he sought to rile up the flagging, flaccid, rapidly-diminishing ranks of the both the local UAW and union members nationwide. Unfortunately, as Biden is wont to do, he gave a goofy fiery speech that ended up revealing a lot about himself, not to mention his administration's incoherence.

In short, Joe Biden has exposed himself as a big, fat, ugly, racist, Tea-partying pig. Not content to just say "Unions are super-cool, man, go join up," Biden started yelling about how "we need to take back America" and reform the tax code. "The American people," Biden wailed, "Have not stopped dreaming! The American people have not walked away from what they believe they are entitled to! Just give them a chance! No handouts, just give them a chance! Because once you give Americans a chance, they have never, never, never, never, ever, let their country down! Never! So folks, it's time to take back America!" Now, I'm not sure who Joe Biden thinks is in charge of America right now. I suppose it's possible that he's genuinely unaware of the fact that he and his boss are the two "leaders of the free world." Maybe he doesn't know that the people from whom he wants to "take back America" are named Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Perhaps he thinks all those shiny white buildings in Washington D.C. are part of some elaborate old folks home, and he can simply sit there eating Jell-O, complaining about how the grandkids never call, until the White House nurse comes and lets him wander around on the lawn. Whatever the reason behind his outburst, the sitting President (and his Attorney General, Eric Holder) think it's totally racist. As The Hill reported last month, Eric Holder thinks "taking back the country" reveals the deep-seeded racial animus of Tea Party-types.  ...You know, people like Joe Biden.

"There's a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that's directed at me [and] directed at the president,” Holder told ABC. "You know, people talking about taking their country back. ... There's a certain racial component to this for some people. I don't think this is the thing that is a main driver, but for some there's a racial animus."

During a 2011 interview with U.S. News' Ken Walsh, Barack Obama himself weighed in on the issue of the racist language employed by Joe Biden.

"A guest suggested that when Tea Party activists said they wanted to "take back" their country, their real motivation was to stir up anger and anxiety at having a black president, and Obama didn’t dispute the idea,” Walsh wrote. "He agreed that there was a "subterranean agenda" in the anti-Obama movement — a racially biased one — that was unfortunate. But he sadly conceded that there was little he could do about it."

So there you have it. Either Joe Biden is a raving, racist, Tea Party madman, or he's a deeply confused individual who doesn't know who's in charge. Anyone care to venture a guess about which one it is? Video via Townahll
