Biden lashes out at Palin's 'pro-America' comment

(CNN) -- Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden ripped into recent comments by his Republican counterpart that suggested that some places in the U.S. are more "pro-America" than others.

The truth hurts, eh Joe the Senator? The truth of the matter is there are parts of the country that are more pro-American than others. That's not to say everyone that isn't outwardly and openly pro-American is, by default, anti-American. But there are places, and people, in this country that are anti-American and you're fooling yourself if you believe otherwise.

Historians point out that during the American Revolution about a third of the people were for the Revolution, about a third were against it, and about a third just wanted to go about living their lives. The same can still be said. There are folks that are openly pro-American, there are folks who are openly anti-American, and there are folks that just want to go about living their lives.

Gov. Palin simply stated that she has a better time in places that are pro-American. How is this wrong or even surprising? The pro-American places are populated with about the only sector of the country that hasn't ripped her to shreds in such a truly appalling manner that would receive the proper amount of outrage from the media is she a "D" after her name instead of an "R".

But this gets me back to the outrage Democrats howl with over their patriotism being questioned while at the same time calling anyone to the right of them a racist at the drop of a hat.
