Who would have guessed that the subject of UFOs would crop up in Democratic candidates debate (Drexel University), in the lightning round, but yes it did…..
I thought that Kucinich, in the circumstances did reasonably well, as this was a quick fire round, and the details could not be gone into, also there was an attempt to discredit him…oh he saw a ufo, therefore he must be deranged, and mocked. Ok, there was a bit of that in the question, but i feel that it was good mainly, because it brought the subject to the masses. He did say though, that it was a UFO (unidentified)!
Other interesting links to this (and i had to filter through quite a few) can be seen below:
Full transcript of the debate, can be found here
“Millions of Americans with Kucinich on UFO belief”
“Not just Kucinich, but Presidents, have sighted UFOs”
“Presidential debate brings UFO issue to the surface”
“Kucinich had a UFO encounter , according to friend Shirley MacLaine”
“Top Eight Presidential Encounters of the third kind” (although it is generally believed that Carter saw venus?)
“Presidential UFOs – Ronald Reagan to back Kucinich”
” Jimmy Carter distances himself fromKucinich on UFOs”
And lastly, from FOX news (john Gibson as mature as ever) “Dennis Kucinich’s UFO comments prove he is nuts”
There are others, but this update might be in danger of just having links to this and nothing else.
Although an interesting offshoot from this is “Clinton denies delaying release of husband’s documents“. So what, i hear you cry…. Well as the link above suggests, there are more than 300 FOIA requests outstanding…. and guess what….the first request is on UFOs!
