5. Scarborough claimed this

That is why I am skeptical. It had to have been taken out of context.

11. the poster asked if it was true.

why are you demanding he prove it?

i heard it too,,,heard a tv talking head referrence the statement without context, date or link.

3. Did Clark really say this?

"Carrot soup makes me sick."

With no context, date, whatever, unless I was standing next to him when he said it, I can't verify the quote. So what is your point in posting this? With no link, it doesn't qualify as discussion because it is just hearsay.

4. According to the Washington Post,

"n March 2000, Dean told a Canadian public affairs program that 98 percent of the public does not vote based on a candidate's foreign policy views, 'unless they are really a wacko.'"

6. I just heard Joe Scarborough make something out of that

I thought, who cares, he was obviously trying to make some point, who is Scarborough trying to fool into thinking it means something.

I guess I know now.

8. Stop it.

Stop posting these little sideways attacks poised as "looking for more information." It's cowardly. It's beneath the stature of the candidate you allegedly support. It's a freeper move.

Rules to start discussion threads in the General Discussion forum.

1. The subject line of a discussion thread must accurately reflect the actual content of the message.

2. The subject line of a discussion thread and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include profanity, excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation. Inflammatory rhetoric should also be avoided.

3. If you post an article or other published content which is from a conservative source or which expresses a traditionally conservative viewpoint, you must state your opinion about the piece and/or the issues it raises.

4. If you wish to start a vanity thread (ie: a discussion thread in which the sole purpose is to share your personal opinion) you must state your opinion in a non-inflammatory manner which respects differences in opinion and facilitates actual discussion.

5. You may not start a new discussion thread in order to continue a current or recent flame war from another thread. The moderators have the authority to lock threads in order to contain flaming on a particular topic to only one thread at a time.
