LIVE THREAD- Obama makes the "Jeremiah Wright" rounds on CNN, FOX and MSNBC Friday, 14 March, 2008

quasi-Muslim

Stick with the truth. We don't need lies. We never do.

...true.

Remember, if it wasn’t for Jimmy Carter, we wouldn’t have Ronald Reagan.

I tried to explain Takiyah (lying to the infidels (us)) etc
________________________________________________

Exactly..

A lie to an infidel...that’s Jews and Christians..is not a lie...just expedient...

A lie to a woman moslem is not a lie...women dont count..

A lie to a brother moslem is a lie...and punishable...

You are someone’s hero, as the song says. Keep your chin up. You obviously have a steel backbone.

Go wash your hair ...

Looks like tonight was Obama's Rope-a-Dope tour...."float like a butterfly" so no one can lay a hand on ya.......

Leni

This republican is now, officially, a Pennsylvania registered democrat (temporarily, of course).

Anything to keep the chaos going.

Remember, our primary here is closed, no early voting, no walking up and requesting a ballot for the other party.

Here’s the online portal for all of PA’s voter services

“””Can anyone explain why the sh*tstorm erupted today?”””

Vast White Wing Conspiracy? lol

It was Hillary, she told Rush, be careful what you wish for and she is sooooooooo mad at being behind BO in the delegate count.

Absolutely Joebuck! Middle America is Red America and we see red big time! I'm extremely proud of my family roots going back to the Mayflower but extremely disheartened that I reside in the Bluest of states. John Adams, John Quincy Adams and family are twisting and turning in their tumes.

LOL...That must be why ABC finally covered the story! Hopefully we can back off from this just enough to make Hillary carry her own water on this scandal now!

I think he’s a quasi-Muslim.

Who died and made you censor?

Call in the FEMA Trailers to Atlanta !!!!!!!!!!

It was Brian Ross...but don’t tell Bill O., he thinks he broke the story. ;)

Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a shady Chicago, Illinois, political fund-raiser, have been "friends" for 17 years. As a lawyer at the small Chicago law firm Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland,<1> Obama "worked on low-income housing deals involving Rezko's company" Rezmar Corp. Rezko "has been Obama's political patron since he ran for the Illinois Senate a dozen years ago. Obama has apologized for buying a piece of property from Rezko's wife to expand his yard," the Chicago-Sun Times reported April 23, 2007.<2> "Obama, who has worked as a lawyer and a legislator to improve living conditions for the poor, took campaign donations from Rezko even as Rezko's low-income housing empire was collapsing, leaving many African-American families in buildings riddled with problems -- including squalid living conditions, vacant apartments, lack of heat, squatters and drug dealers," Novak wrote.<3> "Rezmar kept getting city and state funding, even as earlier projects fell into disrepair and financial troubles. But their company, Rezmar Corp., did come up with $1,000 to give to the political campaign fund of Barack Obama, the newly elected state senator whose district included the unheated building," Novak wrote.<3> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents 1 Iraqi power plant contract and Rezko 2 United States of America v.

Stuart Levein and Antoin Rezko, also known as "Tony Rezko," 2005-2 Grand Jury, Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, U.S. Department of Justice. Indictment includes 24 counts, including counts for mail fraud, wire fraud, attempted extortion, solicitation of funds, and money laundering. The Chicago Sun-Times reported January 19, 2008, that Sen. Obama has been confirmed to be the "unnamed 'political candidate' referred to" in the above cited indictment.<4> Obama is not named in the Dec. 21 court document. But a source familiar with the case confirmed that Obama is the unnamed “political candidate” referred to in a section of the document that accuses Rezko of orchestrating a scheme in which a firm hired to handle state teacher pension investments first had to pay $250,000 in “sham” finder’s fees. From that money, $10,000 was donated to Obama’s successful run for the Senate in the name of a Rezko business associate, according to the court filing and the source. Rezko, who was part of Obama’s senatorial finance committee, also is accused of directing “at least one other individual” to donate money to Obama and then reimbursing that individual — in possible violation of federal election law.

bump

Thanks. It’s instructive to behold the power at work.

Yes, this has Clinton written all over it. Republicans in PA should be registering so they can vote for him in the primary. If they don’t Hillary will take over 60% and begin her final oad to the White House.

Why?

Somebody asked me what I thought.

So I said.

Is that your only ridiculous comment?

“That “never knew” just does not pass the smell test”

Exactly. Where there’s smoke there’s fire. And Obama’s political shack is about to burn down.

He's just following Hillary's typical line of, "I don't recall, I can't remember, my brain's in a blender, it's jello." Trust me... normal Americans would remember those diatribes. (At least a good percentage of normal Americans that he would like to represent as President.)

Dude - all in one Paragraph? :-)
