Perdogg, OT maybe, but I did a thread on a different forum that featured Obama saying that Jack Ryan’s family was off limits in 2004, meanwhile his surrogates were emailing the details to reporters, even after Obama made the statement that they were off limits.

Problem being, Wiki was my source, and they deleted the page, how can I find that story again?

It is from the Chicago Trib in 2004:

“Barack Obama’s backers emailed reporters about the divorce controversy, but refrained from on-the-record commentary about the divorce files.[7] On March 29, 2004, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider ruled that several of the Ryans’ divorce records should be opened to the public, and ruled that a court-appointed referee would later decide which custody files should remain sealed to protect the interests of Ryan’s young child.[8] The following week, on April 2, 2004, Barack Obama changed his position about the Ryans’ soon-to-be-released divorce records, and called on Democrats to not inject them into the campaign.[7] The Ryan campaign characterized Obama’s shift as hypocritical, because Obama’s backers had been emailing reports about the divorce records prior to Judge Schnider’s decision.[7]”

Obama is being a hippocrite, he is busted, now how can I find that story and post a link to something?

Here is the delted wiki link:

It leads to page deleted now, but I C&P’ed that quote from the page 4 hours ago, now it’s gone...

FROM THE ARTICLE:

About a month before the vote, The Chicago Tribune revealed, near the bottom of a long profile of Hull, that during a divorce proceeding, Hull’s second wife filed for an order of protection. In the following few days, the matter erupted into a full-fledged scandal that ended up destroying the Hull campaign and handing Obama an easy primary victory. The Tribune reporter who wrote the original piece later acknowledged in print that the Obama camp had “worked aggressively behind the scenes” to push the story. But there are those in Chicago who believe that Axelrod had an even more significant role — that he leaked the initial story.

Save it before it disappears. It is the NY Times you know.
