She was giving a speech when she said this.

Do you really want a person that doesnt know who Gandhi was to be President?
Isnt that the equivalent of Bush not knowing who the leader of a country was?

What difference does it make.
She said it,and you or anyone else can deny it.
Even if she eventually got it right,the fact that she made the original comment cant be denied.

My point was to show that she made the comment.

If a repub had made the same comment in the same context,you on the left would still be raising hell and calling that repub a racist.

Are you going to deny that?

"He ran a gas station down in St. Louis... No, Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader of the 20th century."

Oooh, now I get it. You're trying to tell us that she was really making a mistake when she made the gas station remark, but that it was just that she "eventually got it right". Jesus.

I don't know, c.i.

Sometimes I think that mysteryman really believes in what he posts...

Probably true even though it's still hard to believe.

Meanwhile, Illinois State Senator Kirk Dillard's (Republican, and until April chairman of the DuPage County GOP, one of the party's strongest political organizations in the state) is featured prominently in a new television ad praising Senator Barack Obama ...

Those questions got just a little harder last week. Hours before McKenna spoke on Monday, news broke that state Sen. Kirk Dillard (R-Hinsdale), the former head of the powerful DuPage County GOP organization, had made a TV ad for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. That day, state Rep. Paul Froehlich of Schaumburg was defecting to join the Democratic majority in the House.

NATION: CAMPAIGN 2008
GOP stalwart lauds Obama in TV ads
Hinsdale's Dillard showcased in Iowa

Sen. Barack Obama's Democratic presidential campaign said Monday that it is launching television ads in the early caucus state of Iowa, including one that features a prominent DuPage County Republican who has been questioned by members of his own party for his strong touting of Obama's skills.

State Sen. Kirk Dillard (R-Hinsdale), a friend of Obama's from his days in Springfield, tells viewers that Obama was respected on both sides of the political aisle during his time in the Illinois General Assembly.

"His negotiation skills and an ability to understand both sides would serve the country very well," he says in one of two advertisements Obama's campaign will start airing statewide on Tuesday in Iowa.

The advertising is arriving earlier than normal; candidates typically hold off on such spending during the summer months, when many voters are taking vacations and not paying close attention to politics.

Obama is the second Democratic presidential candidate to start television advertising in Iowa, following New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. And former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican, saw a significant rise in his polling numbers after he started spending heavily on ads in Iowa earlier this year.

Andy McKenna, Illinois' Republican chairman, expressed surprise about Dillard.

"It's disappointing to see him work for Sen. Obama given that all his work should be for a Republican candidate who is more experienced and more qualified," McKenna said at a GOP unity gathering in Peoria. "I think it undercuts his ability to help any Republican candidate."

Dillard said in an interview that he is officially backing the presidential bid of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and told the McCain campaign he still intends to run as a convention-delegate candidate pledged to the Arizona senator in Illinois' Feb. 5 primary. Dillard agreed to appear in Obama's ad more than a month ago as a favor to his former state Senate colleague.
