Comments for SWEET, SWEET MUSIC!!!!!Rezko Starting to Sing to Feds »
Posted By pc25 1 year, 2 months ago in Political NewsAccording to Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed , Tony Rezko may be giving the feds a much longer and broader look at Chicago Machine politics than first thought. Her sources tell her that Rezko has started singing about a politically-connected bank, and that may mean more trouble for Illinois state treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, and perhaps BARACK OBAMA as well:

Ahh poor cons, just when you thought you had some good topics going on so-called scandals involving Obama here comes a story on the news wire about the righteous ethical Palin. Tell us cons, just how the hell does a highly ethical woman get slapped by an ethics investigation for abusing her office??

What about Palin?
Reply
So she's a criminal. Why am I not surprised. I can't wait to hear the spin they try to put on this one. It was a bipartisan commission. So politics isn't the excuse. McCain has shown poor decision making ability in picking this woman (and I use that term loosely) as his running mate. Sha-na-na-na, Hey, hey, hey, goodbye! And they tried to make Obama look like the Chicago thug. Hypocrites!
Check out capj71 and his story on the latest Palin scandal. Or just turn on your television set. ROTFLMAO!-

What a crock. She "possibly", not actually, had other motives than those she stated to fired a man she absolutely had a right to fire. And jovial turns this into criminal. If that is criminal then we need to examine Obamas links to ACORN and his giving them $800,000 out of his campaign funds, his close association With Rezco and the letters he wrote for him to state agencies, etc. Lots of "possiblys" to look at here and label CRIMINAL.
That CRIMINAL OBAMA.
I like your thinking jovial especially when the concept is turned on your hero. Rush likes to illustrate absurdity by being absurd using the Democrats own words. So turn about is fair play don't you think. Your use of logic is turned against your hero. This is fun.

"Ayers And Obama: What Is Their Relationship?" They were both a part of the Chicago respected civic establishment. If you were the type to be active in your community, and your communty was Chicago, you probably had some relationship with Ayers and Obama and Mayor Daley. If you were the type that was afraid to get involved in your community, because it might "dirty your hands" or put you on some committees with people who are not like you, you can today take credit for not assoociating with anyone who made a difference, good or bad, in your community.

""I think this strikes fear into the Blagojevich administration and the Statehouse Democrats but not into the Obama campaign," says state Sen. Kirk Dillard, R-Westmont, a John McCain delegate to the GOP convention but an old friend of Obama."
Reply
Huh. So an honorable Republican says there's nothing about Obama that could come up, despite his being a McCain supporter.
"But based on the known facts, charges so far and testimony at Rezko's trial, there's no indication there'll be a so-called "October surprise" that could hurt the Democratic presidential nominee — even though Rezko says prosecutors are pressing him for dirt about Obama."
Huh. Sounds like a partisan witch hunt to me.

We just spoke with someone well-connected in Chicago politics who told us that the bank Sneed is talking about has to be Broadway Bank, which is owned by the politically-connected Giannoulias family. We were told that Sneed’s column confirms rumblings people we know heard independently that Tony Rezko is giving up the Giannoulias family to Patrick Fitzgerald — Rezko and the Giannoulias family are as close and tied together as anyone in Chicago could be. If Rezko is turning on them, then Rezko is going to give up Governor Rod Blagojevich and Obama too.-

Why hate obama when we just don't agree with him.
He wants the government to control all aspects of our lives. It is bad enough as it is, we don't need more.
And we don't need to invade Pakistan either. -

Of course, the report didn't come out until the news cycle ended on Friday night--no one will hear about it Saturday.

pc25, Michael Sneed (who always refers to herself in the third person, the freak) is a GOSSIP columnist. She reports on celebrities in her column, as well as parroting Republican talking points.
Reply
No one takes her seriously.
_____
Check out some of her past "scoops" from her Sun-Times columns:
"Sneed hears former President George Herbert Walker Bush, whose son is tanking in the polls, will be the surprise star of the Republican National Convention in Minnesota."
_____
"It's hush-hush, but Sneed hears Mayor Daley and wife, Maggie, are heading into Russian territory on a vacation next week.
"Translation: Word is Chicago's first couple will be traveling to the Black Sea, which is bordered by the Republic of Georgia -- whose invasion was ordered by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. The Daleys will be accompanied on their week-long trip by one of the city's premier philanthropists, Cindy Pritzker."
_____
Those didn't happen either. (Look 'em up at http://www.suntimes.com)
_____
But as always, Sneed blows her actual information way beyond reality. Rezko IS talking to the feds, and most information points to him going after Gov. Blagojevich--who is decidedly NOT a close ally of Obama (Blagojevich, you'll remember, was snubbed at the Democratic convention). And before you say they're from the same party in the same state, you must admit any state's U.S. senators must work with their states' governors. (Does the name Ted Stevens ring a bell?)
It's likely Rezko has nothing of interest to the feds on Giannoulias, and he definitely has nothing on Obama.
Even your post from "hotair.com" says her assertions are based on speculation that has not been borne out.-

The two are associates. You're from Chicago--you know the real story about the house. It's not an issue.
Reply
Apart from that, Rezko is an associate like so many others any high-profile political leader will have. Some associates are less savory than others. That doesn't mean Obama is guilty of any kind of wrongdoing.
Every politician who goes anywhere, and not just from Chicago (Sen. Stevens, anyone?), associates with those kinds of people.
If not, they're Pat Quinn--largely ineffectual, well respected by the public but disliked and disregarded by their peers.-

That's right. I am from Chicago. I'm glad you picked up on that. And there still is an issue of wrongdoing between Rezko and Obama.

Don't confuse them with real information rather than slogans. They are much happier being able to chant when told to do so.

The Palin Mob Mentality: Racism, Willful Ignorance
It’s no wonder that the slightest incitement from Sarah Palin or John McCain will turn one of their rallies into a lynch mob. Just talk to the folks who attend.

Prosecutors move to delay Rezko sentencing
CHICAGO — Federal prosecutors moved Monday to delay indefinitely the sentencing of convicted fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko, sending their strongest hint yet that he is ready to spill his political secrets.
The filing asks for a postponement while prosecutors and defense attorneys "engage in discussions that could affect their sentencing postures."
if you google it you will find hundreds of more.........
so much for you allegations that she is a gossip columnist....
Rezko can sink Obama, you know it, the Libs on propeller know it, and the entire Democrat party knows it....
either way before or after the election this spells major problems for Obama-

Let's address how you CON areseholes somehow think that ethics violations can only occur if money is involved. Granted, for you CONs that's usually the case, but we've always known your definition of 'ethics' left a bit to be desired. -

The Propeller libs aren't going to like this. Wonder what they'll have to say. Do you think they'll try "you cons just made this up" again? Or will they just start screaming about Bush? Whatever, it should be fun they are so entertaining especially when they're foaming at the mouth. LMAO

You must mean the headline about Sarah Palin breaking "the public trust" by violating Alaska state law, right? Or will you say that a 3rd hand rumor about Obama from a self-confessed right-wing columnist and McCain supporter (Sneed) speculated about on a right-wing blog is fact and legitimate news, but that a bi-partisan report started by Republicans - who rule the Alaskan investigating committee by a 10-4 margin - before Palin was even within hailing distance of the Republican ticket and covering weeks of professional research and interviewing, supported by 1,000 pages of evidence, is biased character assassination and rumor? That's what I'm betting on, because I have yet to find an intellectually and ethically honest conservative poster on prop. Prove me wrong. I'll make you a deal - you admit that Palin is a liar and abuser of power, and if Obama gets tied up in the Rezco stuff - as part of an official investigation and report that uncovers malfeasance and/or illegalities - I'll help you lead the fight on here to get libs to admit their errors and bring Obama to justice. Willing to make that deal? Is there any con out here willing to make that deal right here, right now?

Glad you brought up the partial birth abortion issue. Not only does Obama support this, he voted against the Born Alive bill to give medical aid when an abortion results in a live baby. There is no defense for this position and indicates to me a person who has a callous disregard for our most onnocent and vulnerable citizens, it is infanticide (what next genocide) and hasn't received any attention. -

For over two weeks now you cons haven't mentioned anything about how your candidate intends to get the country back on track both economically and foreign policy wise. Obama has put out a few proposals that should be debated but what do you losers keep posting....high school gossip. Grow up and start acting like adults if that is even possible.
