Is John Edwards a racist?

Seeing the reaction on this and other blogs to Biden's comments today is frighteningly reminscent of the right-wing reaction to Kerry's botched joke on soldiers getting "stuck in Iraq." The Biden hatred on this site has always been irrational and viral, but today it has just gone over the top. To call Joe Biden racist when he has spent years supporting the civil rights movement is appalling, ridiculous, unfair, and outrageous.

It's amazing to me how liberals can be so great at defending Kerry against the viscious lies of the right-wing, then go and behave in the exact same way against Joe Biden, less than 3 months later.

First diary, hopefully I don't get flamed to death...
