did you bother to look or take a total strangers word ??
DuHHHHHH
I watched all the video clips available of the CNN debate in question - couldn't find a video on the whole debate.
couldn't find any other reference to it. If it happened, it has been well scrubbed.
All I could find was the cached newspaper article with the headline about the Kenyan being elected to the Illinois senate.
If you have any link to the statement in question, please do post.
