Obama's Rezko link was fine because Hillary had Hsu!
Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 09:50 PM by bartholomewjohn
How about providing your opinion about Rezko as well as your opinion regarding Hillary's ties with Hsu?
The "you did it too" mentality does not help your candidate, IMO".

1. Obama's been a close friend of Rezko for 17 years
Hsu was one of many "bundlers" the Hillary Campaign worked with, but had no friendship with.

Big difference.

4. And then, of course, there's the house.
Nice house.

2. Hsu donated to Obama AND introduced him to BO's LARGEST donor AND his campaign finance
helper--Mark Gorenberg.

Don't go there with Hsu unless you are prepared for the full facts--it bites Obama in the ass!

6. Hush. They're ignoring that. And hoping you will, too.

7. hypocrisy is secondary
It's whether the facts about the links that matter.

14. Oh, YEA...it's not uncommon knowledge, either. It's why only
the un-clued BO supporters take that bait--they end up getting their hand bitten off. That's followed up by flouncing and distraction, usually. It doesn't change the facts on the ground...to say nothing of the Rezko-slumloard/my good buddy business.

You can't be a politician from IL and not have some of that Chicago Politics under your belt. The sweet and fresh veneer is falling away.

3. duh. it's about the hypocrisy.
that should be obvious to anyone with a few working brain cells. She's a complete hypocrite. And she has MUCH bigger problems with Hsu than he does with Rezco. He's been cleared by Fitzgerald. Her? Anyone that doesn't think that bushie's minions don't have a lot to spill when she wraps up the nom, is delusional.

15. Aww Cali, the truth is, you really ARE one of the most hypocritical posters on DU
Some of us are willing to admit that we are assholes. For some reason, you're completely unaware that you are too. That's what's so hilarious about you.

13. cleared by Fitzgerald?
he's under multiple Indictments for Christ's sake with a trial starting next month! Add to that Obama being named "unnamed Candidate" in the Indictment itself and your fantasy about Hillary being hurt more by Hsu -- who's in prison already -- falls like a poorly made soufflé.

8. Both are non-issues. Bringing up Hsu is just bringing up hypocrisy.
