REZCO?? AND WHAT ABOUT HSU AND ALMOST $1,00,000 IN ILLEGAL DONATIONS, HILL?
Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 09:02 PM by cali
what splendid hypocrisy from Hillary. Obama is not, according to Fitzgerald, suspected of any wrong doing. He gave the $40,000 dollars from dubious Rezco friends to charity.

Hillary? She had to get rid of freakin' $850,000 from Hsu. And do you remember where those donations came from? They supposedly came from people like dishwashers in Chinatown. That's right. Dishwashers giving 2,500 bucks to hillary. And the investigation is still ongoing, as I understand it.

It's so hypocritical of her that it's breathtaking. It's positively Clintonian.

3. She's got just as many homophobes supporting her
and you know it, but the real point is she's disgustingly hypocritical. The Clinton fundraising is dirty beyond compare. And the feds are trying to nail her for it.

4. Exgay does not equal homophobia - it's beyond it
It is far worse, and if you don't know that, you're not paying attention. Gay teens are 2-3 times more likely to commit suicide, and the odius ex-gays directly impact that statistic. So don't lecture me on "homophobia" - it's apples and oranges.

Homophobes are indeed trashy, but exgays seek to exterminate gay identity. Obama needs to either forcefully come out against the exgay movement, or step out of the way.

5. I'll take your two ex-gays
and up you three homophobes running Hillary's campaign in SC, and a string of fundraising scandals including Charlie Trie, Johnny Chung, and Peter Paul.

6. how much JUDGMENT or wisdom does this demonstrate on Obama's part?
I don't think Hillary Clinton and Mr. Hsu were partners in any real estate purchase, but the Obamas and Mrs. Rezko were.

http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/749138,obama20web.article

The point here is not that Obama now admits getting into this real estate deal with Rezko's wife was a boneheaded mistake (he admitted that ONLY AFTER the news got out), the point is it reveals how CLOSE the relationship was between Obama and Rezko. Most people do not go into real estate deals with casual acquaintances, do they? This was a CLOSE relationship between Obama and Tony Rezko.

At the time Obama went into this real estate deal with Rezko's wife, Obama was already a U.S. senator, so how much JUDGMENT or wisdom does this demonstrate on Obama's part?

7. The poblem with Hsu is that he was close to her campaign
And he was funneling her oodles and oodles of very dirty money. As people have said, it's impossible to believe that her campaign wasn't aware of the obvious and troubling aspects of those donations from this hillraiser buddy of hers. I mean c'mon, $2,500 dollars from a dishwasher and another $2,000 from said dishwasher's wife? How could they NOT suspect something. And there were many "donations" like that. The Clintons are known for questionable fundraising. This is a much bigger deal than Obama's buying a 10 ft strip of land from Rezco. How much wisdom or judgment does it take to not take obviously crooked dirty money? And she takes a lot of it. This isn't going away. When she's the nominee, they'll smash her with it, and furthermore, if you don't think bushco's minions are ready to dump serious shit on her once she's the nom, you're dreaming.

10. Rezko was Obama's earliest and most important patron.
Mr. Rezko was a lot more important to Barack Obama's political fortunes than just as a contributer; he was Obama's earliest and most important patron.

18. So what you're saying is that the smartest woman in America.....
.....had no idea that one of her leading contributors (and a personal friend) was a shady character? Clinton & Co sure have a knack for finding these guys.......and disavowing any knowledge of them when the shit hits the fan.

16. It must be busy tonight. My "ignore" function obviously isn't working.

Hillary really knocked Obama for a loop with a reference to his representing a "slumlord" on the south side of Chicago. I walked right into that one.
