Did Edwards say what I thought he said? (Video at #31)

Self

[cjmae]

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?

[Danae]

What else can you expect from a My Little Pony... utter rubbish, nice hair, a beatific if vacuous smile, and trash like this.

The Only Racists are the ones that talk about it all the time. Think about that statement for a minute.... yea... EXACTLY

[Abathar]

I bet it would make Brit’s “grapevine” though...

[AirBorn]

You mean that a Liberal (and Lawyer) would NOT say anything “Stupid”?

You mean like saying something like,

” That $#@& ( The BAD Word) then (The “J” word)( Then ANOTHER “Bad” word) Made ME lose the election!”—Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, but in the Tivo and YouTube era there’s an excellent chance that digital versions are already floating around out there. The media can’t keep the lid on it the way they could even a couple of years ago. Sure they’ll try to ignore or downplay it, but if a vid of such remarks goes up on YouTube tonight and becomes widely discussed in the blogosphere, it can’t be completely ignored like in the old days.

Then again, he was stupid enough to hitch his wagon to the Kerry-train. LOL.

[cjmae]

It was MTV
I just checked their web site and it mentioned Edwards’ BS session but I couldn’t find a link to a transcript.
I bet the Clintons will let it out when they need to.

John "i feel pretty" Edwards exploits the poor with sub-prime loans;
slams black folk as criminals waiting to happen.

Edwards does indeed see two Americas
and Elizabeth can't bail him out of this statement.

[Past Your Eyes]

In that case, I wish somebody had Tivo’d Disney’s “Song of the South”. I sure would like to see it again but I’ve been told there’s no chance in this politically correct world.

[P-Marlowe]

but he’s also a pretty good lawyer who knows how to avoid really stupid statements.

Never underestimate the ability of a seasoned trial lawyer to make a really stupid remark. Especially when he is not working from a script.

[AirBorn]

WOW! Check THIS out!

MTV NEWS was Just ABOUT to go “ On Air “ -and NOW it’s Blank with an ,

“WE are experiencing Technical Differculties- while SOME of our news staff get RE-EDUCATED—but we’ll be BACK in a Moment!...Dudes and Dudettes!..”

Maybe someone there WAS going to go “On Air” with it! Hahahahaha!

(Sorry-couldn’t resist- Cause we all know that IF Anyone ever DID “ReBroadcast” a Flopper-Ronney like the one Edwards is suppose to have said-ALL Edwards would have to do is Call he ROYAL THIGHNESS- PLEDGE never-Ending Support- the and Clintonista-Mafia would ahve that person ( AND Tape) Floating with the Fishes!)

[WakeUpAndVote]

I HAVE VIDEO!

[txroadkill]

If he did say it, he is probably quoting from this:

http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/091507/football_westonessay.shtml

 

which is nothing more than a college essay that the MSM picked up. Problem is, the data is wrong, there are more black males in college than in jail.

[cjmae]

I called my lib buddy back and asked him if he heard it and his reply was “That was a little controversial wasn’t it” so I think I’m close.

[AirBorn]

You’re Right Enchante.

Also too- since it WAS a Liberal-the media would let him LIE it all away.

Unlike a REAL innocent comment that Could have been made- where a CONSERVATIVE would be FORCED ( + Demanded) to RESIGN after APOLOGIZING for really nothing wrong!

Who WAS that Republican? and which Birthday Party was it for again?

[calcowgirl]

PING to #31.

About forty seconds or so into it - that is exactly what Breck Girl said.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Wow! What a doofus! He sure as heck said it just as described.

[grundle]
