I believe that one has been discussed on FR several times, and has been shown to be internet myth. Here is a thread on this from 2008, with Chairman of the Keyes campaign confirming this never happened. The report may have been a distortion of what did get said during the debate: "I’m not running to be the minister of Illinois. I’m running to be its United States Senator."
Thank you, I have not been told that was a myth. I do try very hard to be solid in my facts, but I have personally seen things just vanish after seeing the page a few minutes earlier. Even some news sites. Especially after the Governor of Illinois scandal last year. When Obama said he hadn’t talked to him, or something... and then there was an article discussing him talking about a meeting he had (basically prove him to be lying) the article was taken down. Luckily a few Freepers grabbed a screen shot before. That happened more than once even!
It just makes me question everything when the so called “watchdogs” are doing everything they can to cover for him. It makes me sick and I question their sanity. Journalism used to be a proud occupation. Now they are content to be lapdogs for the Democrats.
