Obama Campaign Redacted Kucinich Line on Jailing GOPers

HeadlineAug 28, 2008

In other campaign news, The Hill newspaper has revealed the Obama campaign removed one line from Congress member Dennis Kucinich’s fiery speech before the convention earlier this week. Kucinich’s wide-ranging address criticized war profiteering, the oil giants, Wall Street, pharmaceutical companies and, most of all, the Bush administration, which he said invaded Iraq for oil. But Obama staffers redacted one line suggesting Republicans should be jailed. The line read, “They’re asking for another four years — in a just world, they’d get ten to twenty.”
