A lib buddy of mine called me and told me to turn on MTV. John Edwards was taking questions from young students. I wasn't but half way paying attention when I heard a young lady ask him something about his solution for inner city crime. Edwards said something like we can't build enough prisons to hold all of the criminals or eventualy there will be no black people left because they would either be in jail or dead. I'm paraphrasing of course and I don't want to start something that's not accurate but if that is what he said that has got to be either one of the most racist or stupidest things I've ever heard a politician say. Did anyone else hear it?
I forgot this part:
And he says “... You start with the President of the United States saying to America......”
Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, it is all Bush’s fault!
“...that OTHER solutions are required (universal healthcare, yadiyadiya...)”
Any IDIOT knows that universal healthcare will solve all the inner-city crime. Every article always has in there “..and he was stealing so he could buy drugs...”
I didn’t think Song of the South was available at all, period.
Leave it to the lieburralls to take something as innocent as Uncle Remus and turn it into a bad thing.

Thanks for the link. I listened to the section and then listened a little longer. I think the offending part was facetious. He follows that by saying we need better schools (for blacks.) He says the legal system works against blacks. that is as far as I got.
I don’t agree with Edwards. But I don’t think the offending quote is a gotcha moment either.
I do think the biggest problem is not his remark "they're all gonna be in prison, or dead" but in fact all the ridiculous leftist pandering, hyperventilating, and non-solutions that followed.
ABSOLUTELY!
Edwards cleared that field behind his house for his fantasy of of landing there in Marine-1.
Evidently you don't remember his quote on gays: "I've always been uncomfortable around those people".
Had to send his wife out to straighten that out - "well, see, he's never known any, never had any contact with gays, we're from a rural area, so it was a natural statement to make since....yada yada yada.
Hilarious.
I was flipping through channels and I watched it on MTV, and when I heard him say that, I thought, “He is lucky he is not a Republican.”
Right, if a Republican said that he would be fried.
Hey, Alan Keys. I didn’t know he was running. Cool!
[What a doofus!]
And we will probably be the only ones talking about it. The media will ignore it.
The most articulate man in show business!
Check eBay. Copies show up pretty regularly there - usually in PAL format, but sometimes in NTSC. Rare and expensive, though.
The idiots in the MSM would rather fantasize that O’Reilly is being racist.
He really said it??? Amazing. Thanks for the video.
It’s John Edwards, not Bill Bennett. Democrats mean well and nothing they say means anything but sunshine and lollipops.
