Maybe someone can be so kind as to transcrube it all so that we can collectively dissect it.

I don't think it was a good answer to the question but YMMV.[/quote]

[b]omg. THAT is what they are trying to smear him with? He gave a really good, non-racist answer. Seriously wtf.[/b] [/quote]

If this is the answer everyone is complaining about, DCUM's own Jeff Steele and a lot of other people owe Goulet an apology.[/quote]

That is not his full answer. It is cut off at the end and doesn't include his allegation that black voucher recipients are a source of crime. That's why we deserve that the Chamber of Commerce release the entire video.

Seems really shitty of you, Jeff. Goulet is presenting a pretty sensitive description of the issue. For you to accuse him of later veering into some awful racist thing when you can't even tell us what he said is just gross. You're just lying and slinging mud here, Jeff. Is that the purpose of DCUM? To lie about candidates you don't like? [/quote]

I would love to be able to provide an exact quote, but due to the cover-up being staged by Goulet and the Chamber of Commerce, I can't. It is pretty shocking that you are such a staunch supporter of suppressing the facts. You and I both know that I am not lying. Is it your position that Goulet didn't mention crime in his answer? [/quote]

lol Jeff. there is no cover up Goulet posted a clip of the first part of his answer, and is on the record elsewhere with the second supposedly offensive part of his answer. [/quote]

Fine, as I said above, we can both agree that Goulet replied to a question about racial and economic diversity by discussing black voucher recipients being a source of crime. This is what I've been saying all along and getting called a liar for my efforts. But, now it turns out that you agree this is what happened. Now you are also agreeing that the video that some posters are claiming exonerates him doesn't include crucial parts of his answer.

Yes, you are still dissembling.

He responded to a long, multi-part question about what he would do to increase racial and economic diversity in Ward 3 by addressing the fact that the primary government program to create that diversity, vouchers, is failing to provide proper supports to recipients, resulting in their inability to access jobs and mental health care, and resulting in increased crime in the buildings. The most you can criticize him for is that his answer is a criticism instead of an affirmative policy proposal. [/quote]

That's what I've been saying. His reaction to increasing diversity was to focus entirely on black voucher recipients who he thinks cause crime. Why didn't he mention middle class, upper middle class, or wealthy black residents and what could be done to attract them to Ward 3? Does diversity only mean poor and black to him?

He was asked specifically about low-income african american residents and he responded by critiquing the program designed to bring low income residents to W3. So now you think he should have been talking about the black UMC? well you would not like that answer either, because it’s about schools and the lack of academic rigor and lack of discipline at Deal and JH. 
[/quote]

No, he was asked about diversifying the Ward and responded with low income blacks on vouchers.[/quote]

That’s not what the question was. The question was posted up thread. Why lie?[/quote]
