HANSON: Joe Biden – the Habitual, 'Racial Jungle' Demagogue

He fueled his early Senate career with homages to Southern Democrat Segregationists, and even gave the eulogy for former Klansman & Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd. Far from galvanizing the public, Joe Biden's maniacal racial demagoguery is turning it off. In recent polls, only 37% of Independents now support him, while 70% of the public oppose his even running for a 2nd Term. So now he's turned to what he's done for decades - inflammatory racial demagoguery.
