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

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?

Just Wow! So according to Breck Girl, all the black men in America that are not in prison or dead is because they haven’t been caught yet. LoL, that platform may actually help him with the left.

“What’s most funny is that the brain-dead audience just accept it as gospel, there’s even some little trollip writing notes. Not a single brow raised.”

They thought he was great according to the MTV web site.
Amazing

This is nothing more than a botched joke. Nothing to see here.

Someone rip this link! The only thing accessible is the adbar!

Yes—and poor people are poor because nuclear power plants are polluting the air.

It’s still there as of this moment, I can get to it - but I can’t rip it, somebody help!

On second viewing... I heard this differently.

I heard him say that IF the only proposed solution to the inner-city crime problem is to build more prisons, then all young African Americans will either be dead or in prison—that OTHER solutions are required (universal healthcare, yadiyadiya...)

Granted, he said it in a way that could be used against him, but I think it may bite those in the rear that try to do so.

Guess it’s time to ping Paul Shanklin.

“just heard it ..thanks for the link

Wow

[Secret Agent Man]

Yes, we have to preserve this before MTV takes it down.

[WakeUpAndVote]

I am not hearing “if” in there.

[KJC1]

Thanks, Admin, for updating the title thread. :^)

Nice work!! What a maroon that Edwards is. Of course, he’ll just say he was speaking hypothetically, more believable by the sheeple than if a Republican had said the same thing.

[Enchante]

This is the main quote that I jotted down, in response to question about what Edwards would do for inner city youth....

"We start with the President of the United States saying to America 'we cannot build enough prisons to solve this problem'.... The idea that we just keep incarcerating and incarcerating.... pretty soon we're not gonna have an African-American male population in this country.... they're all gonna be in prison or dead."

Then he went into a whole lotta pandering about education, health care, then crime statistics -- he pulled the usual leftist trick of citing only outcomes, i.e., he whined that black males are charged and convicted at higher rates and get longer sentences without any reference to actual CRIMES committed.

yeah you...thanks

[WakeUpAndVote]

Ah, you just beat me to that.

[Shqipo]

Maybe he went kamikaze. It looks like he is standing on the Japanese Rising Sun.
