[welshTerrier2]

give 'em hell, Dennis !!!

[Wonk]

1. On now (kick)

[Catholic Sensation]

2. I lost respect for him when

Kucinich went on Hardball and misrepresented another house member, by saying the house member wants to put women who have abortions in jail.

[GreenArrow]

5. He didn't say that

.

6. 1) I missed the CNN appearance, dammit-

and 2)Did you actually WATCH Hardball when he was on it?

Kucinich NEVER said the words "put women who have abortions in jail" a single time in the entire thing.

[Catholic Sensation]

7. uh yes he did

He said there are republicans who want to do that, but couldn't name any names. Matthews wouldn't let up and Matthews said "who on Capitol Hill wants to put women in jail for having an abortion?" Kucinich picked some random republican, who said he wants to put abortion doctors in jail, which is just as idiotic, but still totally different.

9. M'dear, I generally like your posts, but you are mistaken.

He never once uttered the words "put women in jail for ahving an abortion". That entire phraseology was constructed by Matthews and tossed in as an effort to discredit Kucinich. It seems to have worked on some, which I personally find very disappointing.

Do you believe ALL crimes result in jail time?

[GreenArrow]

15. no, he didn't

Matthews kept putting words in his mouth...

"KUCINICH: OK. Thanks, Chris. I think criminalization of abortion would set this country back.
MATTHEWS: Who is proposing criminalization of abortion?
KUCINICH: Actually, Congress has been increasingly moving in the direction.
MATTHEWS: Who supports criminal punishments for abortion.
KUCINICH: Congress has been increasingly moving in the direction towards criminalization.
MATTHEWS: Name a U.S. congressperson.
KUCINICH: It¡¯s a fact.
MATTHEWS: Name a Congressperson who supports putting people in jail for having an abortion. Name one.
KUCINICH: Trent Lott, at the beginning of this Congress, stated that it was the number one agenda for his, the legislative agenda to move forward to make abortion illegal.
MATTHEWS: No, you said to put them in jail, to criminalize abortion. Name a member of Congress who wants to-name any member of Congress in either party who says put a person in jail for having an abortion. Name one.
KUCINICH: I campaigned for Congress in 1996 against an opponent who was backing a constitutional amendment to make abortion illegal. And what I¡¯m saying that it¡¯s important in this country-
MATTHEWS: You didn¡¯t say that. You said criminalize it. You said put a person in jail for having an abortion. Do you believe any member of Congress wants to do that?
KUCINICH: Well, I think there are members of Congress who want to do that. That¡¯s absolutely right.
MATTHEWS: Name one.
KUCINICH: This isn¡¯t about naming one.
MATTHEWS: Name one. Name one.
KUCINICH: I think Chris Smith would support it. I do...
MATTHEWS: He would. Well, that¡¯s a nice subjective move, but you don¡¯t have his testimony supporting it. We¡¯ll check with him on that. I think it¡¯s a rotten thing to say.
Let¡¯s go on...
KUCINICH: What¡¯s a rotten thing to say?
MATTHEWS: To say that somebody in Congress wants to put a woman in jail for having an abortion when you don¡¯t even know their name.
KUCINICH: Well, you asked me to...
MATTHEWS: Name one.
KUCINICH: You asked me to who would be responsible and take that kind of a position. And I think Chris has had a strong position all of his life on it, and I think he¡¯s probably be..

11. Thank you so much, Wonk!

It's stunning how many people will claim Kucinich said something he NEVER said! Also, I haven't heard it myself, just read the transcript, so this helps a lot. I want to see if my suspicions are on the mark, and the audio will tell me for certain.

You are a HUGE asset to DU. :loveya:
