Edwards was NOT booed at the National Urban League!

[EffieBlack]

I was there in person. He was not booed. The audience did react to his point about Obama and Clinton, but it was not groans - it was more of a good-natured, "Oh, no he didn't!" It was very friendly.

All of the candidates who spoke were very well received. No one was booed.

Here's the link to the videocast

1. Thank you! It is always great to have first person accounts of these events.

I was almost sure of it before anyway, but now I am left wondering why the SunTimes says he was booed when he wasn't.

3. I also wonder why so many people are so quick to assume that the Sun Times is correct

7. Far too many people are quick to believe ANY source that sustains their delusion

The accusation then becomes truth to many. Thus, you'll hear this repeated in the future, no matter how thoroughly it's debunked.

2. Someone at MyDD said the same thing

Sick of the MSM...

4. On the webcast, it sounds like about 10 people booed. However, you were there...

... and I'm certainly willing to take your word for it.

8. It's certainly possible that 10 people out of the 1500 in the audience may have booed

But that does not mean "the audience" booed him, any more than the fact that 10 people in the room may have had indigestion meant that the audience burped.

Nevertheless, I didn't hear any boos and the audience was more than friendly to Edwards and everyone else.

10. Yeah, this is similar to the so-called booing of GOP Congressmen at Wellstone's funeral.

Plain and simple, it didn't happen.

5. Thank for clearing that up.

It is always great to get first hand coverage of something - the MSM, has lost 99% credibility,
Thanks for sharing this.

9. That is great that he was not booed

He is a classy guy and should be respected.

I'm African American and I'm glad that he was well received.
