RNC today uses Novak's 2nd misquote of Dean after it is debunked.
What the heck kind of country is this that the RNC puts lies on their front page after they have been debunked.
Novak misquoted Howard Dean for the 2nd time in two days. RNC uses his words today.
This is the 2nd write-up about this at Media Matters.

Here is the FIRST correction of Novak by Media Matters.

RNC website today misquotes Howard Dean, using words of Bob Novak. Media Matters has already debunked this.

CNN'S ROBERT NOVAK: "They've got to really get Howard under control. He spoke at Cornell University last week, and the only paper that covered this was "The Cornell Daily" student paper, and he said, yes, Social Security has a big problem. Over the years it's going to lose about 80 percent of the benefits. That, Judy, is not the Democratic line. The Democratic line is there is no problem."

What Howard Dean really said at Cornell, according to the Cornell Daily.

SNIP..."I think that privatizing Social Security has much more to do with the enormous amount of money that corporate Wall Street poured into the President of the United States's campaign than senior citizens," Dean said. " was a response toward abject poverty...it is not meant as a retirement program...it was meant as a social safety net for people who had reached the end of their working careers and did not deserve, after a long lifetime of dignified work, to live in poverty. ... It's not supposed to be a pension."

Dean pointed out that, while he would not endorse this, if Social Security were left alone for 30 years, its benefits would be reduced to 80 percent of what it is now. He acknowledged that while there were indeed problems with the program, turning to Wall Street was not the answer."
