Clinton should not be throwing stones when she lives in a house that would make glass look solid in comparison. Rezko? That's one weak lapse of a democratic community organizer in Chicago getting too chummy with a major democratic party contributor in Chicago who works in urban development projects. BFD, really. The Clinton's comparable 'weak lapses' start with Whitewater and end about a dozen lapses later. All minor, in my mind, but easily blown out of proportion, just like the Rezko story.
for WHOEVER is the Dem nominee.
Puh-lease! Hillary took cash from Abramoff too! (http://www.townhall.com/MyBlog/CreatePost.aspx?ContentGuid=df06197a-05d5-4bde-99c7-cec3e4ebb51b)
Don't tar Bush with that brush if Hillary is just as guilty. How convenient to leave her connection to Abramoff off of that smear.
Tim,
Wouldn't it be more fair "journalistically" to make the correction in the body of the blog entry and state the error in the correction? Just asking.
Reviewing Hillary's methodical playing of the "Race card", and "The Perpetual Victim" against Obama; and, her recent commentary on Iraq; Pakistan; Energy Policy; the need to control the American Economy from the White House (this from a woman who hasn't managed so much as a corner vegetable stand, or for that matter her own marriage; but, of course you could count Whitewater); Illegal Immigration; Taxes; Infanticide; Massive new Government spending; Socialized medicine; and, the Clinton's history of emasculating the military, verifies that this grievously flawed woman would be the female version of the Jimmy Carter debacle that gave us the Ayatollah Khomeini who ushered in rampant Islamic radicalism; block-long lines at our gasoline stations; a severely hollow military; and, a record Misery Index. Only much worse. Considering all of her recent gaffes, e.g. "I voted FOR IT (referring to the Bankruptcy Bill); but, I was glad to see that it didn't pass.", one has to wonder if excessive use of Botox has affected her mental stability. It's no wonder that her campaign staff is shielding her from reporter and audience unscripted questions. Greg Neubeck
Certainly seems that way. I feel I'm contributing to the Clinton campaign when I pay for my Salon subscription.
This piece is not reporting, it's political spin.
FactCheck.org On Clinton's Claim Obama Represented Rezko: "That's Untrue." Factcheck.org reported, "Obama was associated with a law firm that represented the community groups working with Rezko on several deals. There's no evidence that Obama spent much time on them, and he never represented Rezko directly. So it was wrong for Clinton to say he was 'representing ... Rezko.' That's untrue." [FactCheck.org, 1/21/08]
Chicago Tribune Review Of "Land And Court Document And Law Firm Files As Well As Correspondence And Other Records...Supports [Obama's] Contention That He Did Not Directly Represent Rezko's Development Firm." The Chicago Tribune reported, "Obama angrily rejected Clinton's accusation at Monday's Democratic debate. And a Tribune review of land and court documents and law firm files as well as correspondence and other records related to Obama's eight years as an Illinois state lawmaker supports his contention that he did not directly represent Rezko's development firm. Instead, the records show, he represented non-profit community groups that partnered with Rezko's firm." [Chicago Tribune, 1/23/08]
This is an even-handed and accurate overview of the two candidates and Rezko. You are to be applauded. Not too much even handed reporting going on these days. Please keep it up as we go forweard and the campaign gets even hotter.
The fact is that many Deomocrats feel deeply disconnected to the party and the Clintons are a significant factor in our disillusion.
I am surprised that so many people are surprised by that fact.
Many of us have never been supporters of Hillary, even before Barack threw his hat into the ring.
We were the ones who said we'd hold our noses and cast the vote, if necessary. However, let me assure you that many of us will either stay away or vote for someone else, via the write-in process.
We do not like Hillary. She uses a two -by- four when a fly swatter would do.On everything. Yuck.
Neither the new nor the old Hilary will do. It is visceral. It is real.
Sorry?
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
