Did Bob Kerrey say Obama went to a madrasa on CNN today?

[TeamJordan23]

They are discussing on Tucker that Clinton ally, Bob Kerrey talked about Obama attending a madrasa? Anyone know what Kerrey said on CNN today?

1. what's a madrasa? n/t

[gateley]

3. It just means school -- religious or secular -- in Arabic. nt

[TeamJordan23]

6. Most Americans think of madrasas as a religious school. Sad to see the Clinton camp doing this. nm

[TwilightZone]

20. Kerrey specifically mentioned that it was a secular school.

So, if most Americans can read and/or hear, they will understand it wasn't a religious one.

7. I saw it myself, he said why should it

matter if he did attend a Madrasa for a short time. He knew exactly what he was doing, a typical
a Karl Rove type smear.

[gateley]

10. Et tu, Kerrey? I'm really surprised by this. The campaign hasn't fully climbed

out from under Shehane's remark. I wonder if Hillary is going "he said WHAT?!?!?" and pulling her hair out.

[jezebel]

2. Yes, and it pissed me off. He's playing the Muslim card. nt

4. I cannot believe Dems are acting like this. Mark Penn truly is Karl Rove.

5. If he did, then I rescind the benefit of the doubt that I gave him last night

I'd like to see a transcript.

8. If you ain't got the Christ you ain't got the thing. The country is going

to Taliban-like society. I once went to see Elizabeth Clare Prophet in Boston. Lock me up.

11. OT -- HA! I haven't seen ECP's name in YEARS! nt

9. woah!

both Hussein, and Madrasa? classy. :thumbsup:

12. Here:

"I love that his name is Barack Hussein Obama; that he was educated for a while in a secular madrassa. He can speak like no other candidate to a billion Muslims on this earth and say we’re not your enemy unless you make us so."

edit to add - this is dated October 30th - not today. Sorry.

[MadBadger]

13. This is an old quote

[Pirate Smile]

16. Sorry - I was trying to find it because I was, frankly, a bit shocked.

[K Gardner]

14. Damn, you beat me to it.. good find !

[rinsd]

17. Thanks though that appears to be from late Oct.

[Pirate Smile]

19. I wonder if he just repeated the same type of thing today on CNN.

That is what it sounds like.

[mmonk]

15. Bob Kerrey is a lowlife. I know some here think he is ok because he is a dem.

But he isn't ok. He was a big promoter of the Iraq invasion. There's plenty other I could get into but won't.

[bunnies]

18. Yet another "unauthorized" statement no doubt.

This shit is getting so old.

[sniffa]

22. HEY!

the Clinton hands are clean.

[Tejanocrat]

21. What are they teaching at Kerrey's New School?

[Donna Zen]

23. Bob Kerrey

Did he tell America how he supported the war? Or maybe he informed the viewers of his personal love for privatizing Social Security. Kerrey...not exactly a Democrat at all.
