Question for Kerry and Edwards supporters

[Padme Amidala]

Could you please post the links to their responses to Dean's remarks on the Confederate Battle Flag?

Also, if any other candidates responded, please post the links to their statements.

1. Odd request.

If you want to know something, just go to Dean's site and look it up under issues. He is quite open and frank. You don't need to ask other candidate's supporters to do your research for you.

2. www.google.com

That should have what ye'r lookin' fer, ma'am.

[Lady President]

3. Here you go

Here are a couple of the press releases by Kerry. They are both quite short, but that's all I could find quickly. You could try to google the question.

4. Edwards:

These are only the press releases. Obviously, he made other comments, including comments about Dean adequately addressing the issue and that it was time to move on.

Statement By Edwards In Response To Dean's Comments On Southern Voters

ALGONA, IA - Senator John Edwards (NC) released the following statement in response to Governor Dean's remarks on southern voters:

I have lived for fifty years in the South. And the working men and women, white and African-American, Governor Dean speaks of are my family, my neighbors, my classmates, the people who fought together for equality and dignity in every part of their lives. What Governor Dean may not understand, is what the Confederate flag means to us in terms of oppression and too often violence. If we embrace those who display the flag for the purpose of heralding that oppression, because we think they share some economic common ground with us, we then fail to share the moral common ground with the Southern Democrats, white and African-American, who have been the core of the Southern Democratic Party.

Edwards Statement On Dean Comment

RALEIGH, NC - Senator John Edwards (NC) released the following statement today in response to Governor Dean's statement about the Confederate flag:

"What Howard Dean said today was nothing short of offensive. Democrats from every wing of the party understand what that flag symbolizes. And when a politician embraces one of the most divisive symbols in America, it is offensive to every American. Some of the greatest Civil Rights leaders, white and black, have come from the South. To assume that southerners who drive trucks would embrace this symbol is offensive.”

He's a great guy, I just worry about him seeming too young and inexperienced.
