a dean quote?

[shanti]

i'm thinking no, but would like verification. i don't believe that dean would say something like this quote from CNN, but someone from a black board i frequent stated she heard this:

"I also heard on cnn that he said that they needed to keep Morehouse College open..otherwise the prisons will overflow."

1. You capitalize cnn but not Dean. hmmm. It can't be laziness.

[shanti]

3. don't be fresh

i usually always use lower case for my posts! :grr: so sue me!

[wyldwolf]

You nit pic. hmmmmm, It can't be pettiness can it?

2. I don't believe that for a second!

Even Trent Lott wouldn't say something that racist!

[shanti]

4. that's what i'm saying!

this needs to be nipped in the bud and fast.

[oxymoron]

5. So, what's the story on this?

n/t

[shanti]

9. it was a quote that someone attributed to dean

and was heard on cnn. i was just wondering if anyone had heard it.

6. mods – please lock

this is nothing but flamebait

[shanti]

7. good god, it's not flamebait!

i'm a dean supporter! i heard someone make this accusation on another board and want to counteract it immediately!

[pruner]

10. jeez

people say all kinds of shit on message boards.

nobody was saying it here til you brought it up without any evidence to support the highly unlikely conclusion that it's true.

[shanti]

12. *sigh*

cnn = no "link". i just want to know if anyone had heard this when they were watching teevee. am i clear now?

[oxymoron]

8. I would just like to see the link....

n/t

[shanti]

11. again, it was cnn

i asked the person who made the accusation for a link too, but so far none has been forthcoming.

[pruner]

14. so you shouldn't have posted it here

n/t

[shanti]

17. why the hell not?

what better place to ask than here, with all of bv's informed members? they will get to the bottom of it.

15. How would one prove anything about this with so little info?

No sources, except for an alleged CNN viewer who probably has an anti-Democratic or anti-Dean agenda.

Google brings up nothing, btw:

13. A friend of a friend said....

Person X said they heard Person Y heard CNN say something....

KKKarl strikes again.

[shanti]

16. THAT'S what i want to find out

the board where this person made the statement (the person wasn't particularly political, but WAS backing dean before this supposed statement) has some members who are very easily swayed by statements like this. now she will not vote for him. i would like to stop it.

[pruner]

18. what kind of proof that it didn't happen do you expect to find?

:think:

[shanti]

20. uh, by the fact that nobody had heard it?

it was on cnn headline news. i know there are people here that watch cnn headline news, some religiously.

listen, i was just called a white bitch for trying to get a link to this story from the person who stated it. she was offended that i "called her a liar" (which i didn't, i just asked for proof).

got it?

19. I am locking this thread...

It is inflammatory. If you wish to discuss your views on Governor Dean and racism, please feel free to post in one of Skinner's threads.
