Political Punch

I tried to read about this news around the web as much as I can. I really am so disappointed seeing the public reaction about this incident, because obviously what the people care is only a fight between obama & hillary. But what about the movie? Just because the movie portrays a Jewish American as a bad character, then all the movie and everything related to it are really bad and dangerous? I am a Turkish citizen, and I always admire some values of America and Western World, like the free speech, democracy , science, and dialectic thinking. But then sometimes I feel so shocked, when western world forget all of these values, and also forget to use any empathy to understand anything outside their world. What were you all thinking when the Hollywood was making all movies showing a lot of "BAD" things for the rest of the world since decades? They were all just fiction, and artistic production... right :) ? Where is your empathy? It does not work as "we are good, they are bad".

I bet she returns that money just as soon as she gets thru with her TAX RECORDS and the documentation on all her FANTASY EXPERIENCE.

She should return it immediately and REJECT his support to her campaign.

How about an article on William Ayers?

And, we should also know more about Obama connections to his wife, Bernadine, and the subversive Weatherman organization.

Barack Obama's name surfaced last week in opening arguments of the federal corruption trial of Antoin "Tony" Rezko. An Obama campaign representative attending the trial was rooted out and identified by the presiding judge.

Rezko lawyer Joe Duffy told jurors that his client met Obama when the Senator was a Harvard Law student, and that Obama did a few hours of work for Rezko.

Along with Obama, Rezko supported many other politicians, Duffy explained. Then, the Rezko legal team proceeded to try to defend him against the lengthy government list of corruption charges.

While Obama has not yet been accused of any wrongdoing in the Rezko case, the trial is in its infant stages. Rezko is facing corruption charges that require intense scrutiny.

Obama has returned nearly $150,000 in political contributions from Rezko and his associates, and has tried to minimize the impact of an questionable real estate purchase he completed with the assistance of Rezko.

If the Obama campaign had the killa instinct they'd turn this sordid story into a counterattack everytime someone mentions the Rezko defendants.

Busey must be hurtin to be mixed up with people like this. I knew he was down on his luck, but seriously.....

Thank you, WCM.

Questioner,
The Daily Kos is a far left liberal blog that relies on emotional diatribes instead of logic to attempt to castigate HILLARY CLINTON. They pursued a bogus story about Clinton to the nth on the advertising quality used to display an add about Hillary's competitor. When fact checkers determined that the story was bogus the Daily Kos did not have the dignity to apologize, but instead, just moved on to the next emotional diatribe. It's sort of like this blog. Those that do not like Hillary generally ignore the facts and any logic and instead pursue their own emotional issues. It's like we really need a Therapist-in-Chief instead of a Commander-in-Chief for a lot of these people. It's amazing that we don't have complete anarchy.

Obama takes money from crooks......

Gets Crooks to help buy his house...

Is it his bomber friend blowing things up in New York?

Obama even steals speeches from Hitler..

He cries and whines like a little girl..

You can't put anything past that man. He will stoop to the lowest levels. He takes a shower to say he is Clean.

God Bless us, Help us Lord before The Devil Obama gets any power.

Sr,

Hillary has been released the tax returns. Read the news.

does it really matter?

whatever Hillary did, would be chopped into spam by the B O bunch.

I think I would have done what she did; cut off the connections when she discovered it and call it a day. And she didn't take aeons to accomplish this!

You have a wonderful outlet here to share information... but instead so many of you are more intent on shredding the candidates and spreading ill will rather than gleaning and learning.

What's the "daily kos"? what year is "200"? how come the primary name i've seen in conjunction with Rezko was/still is OBAMA?

GIVE 'EM HELL, HILLARY!

How much did Hillary milk from this guy before jettisoning him? Is she returning his bundled donations?

HILLARY CLINTON stood up for what is right in this case. The naysayers below are indicating a sour grapes attitude about her move to cut off this relationship, once that it became clear that the fellow had unscrupulous dealings. Her competitor waited several years before he indicated that one of his prior relationships was a boneheaded one. In Hillary's case it is the right thing to do from a management perspective. She'll be a great Commander-in-Chief!

THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS!! FOR HILLARY!!!

Sorry ,next time I check my spelling

I cannot believe she still has people that fall all over her.She is a crook ,both of them will do ANYTHING they have to ,to get back into the White House.She has to sets of standards one for us and one for herself.She never answers a question goes aroung it.You are never looked in the face as she gives her line of crap.She blames some one or somthiing for the things she does she never excepts the blame..Not my type of person I want in office for the top of this country, bad enought now.....would be worse.........

Return the money? Heck the Clintons need some way to pay the interest they are charging for the money they lent to her race...interest that will be paid by the idiots who donate to her LOL

"There is no reason to return money because someone made a film some people dont like.

That's about as unAmerican as you can get"

SURE...but if Obama did the Clintons would be CRYING to the media about it

DOUBLE STandard that's all the Clinton's know

The Clinton's have been dishonest since day one....WHY are we suprise??????

I think people , at least some people love corrupt people this way it makes their own lives justified.

I would never vote a a combo ticket of Hillary and Obama.....It's either Obama only or I will vote for McCain

Hillary is the most unethical, dishonest, corrupt person and along with Bill the most corrupt couple I never for the ticket if her was any part of it this Nov. I rather vote for McCain

Just Democrats being democrats!

Dogsoldier asks:
Kitty what is Obama's policy on Islamic terrorists? What is Obama's policy on the Iranian nuclear weapons program?

Well, I am not Kitty, but I venture to guess that he is against them....

Kitty what is Obam's policy on Islamic terrorists? What is Obama's policy on the Iranian nuclear weapons program? Do you know or do you just play hate politics?

Whether or not this was the right thing to do, the Clintons made the determination that it was and so they took this action. That said, it is typically Clinton do wait for such a long time to take the action, but it seems there is a double standard at work, because if they had caught wind of the Obama campaign waiting so long they would have struck out at him forcefully and with the venom she consistently shows--but always with a smile and that voice of reason.

I'm not Amber, but I can answer at least a portion of this one. As far back as May 2007, Obama was stepping out on the Iran Nuke Issue

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told Haaretz in an exclusive interview that the current level of pressure on Iran over its nuclear program is "is not enough."

"Iran continues to be a major threat to the U.S. and its allies," said the Illinois senator.

Obama reiterated his position that the U.S. should engage Iran in direct talks, but explained that these should be "low level talks" until there's "some sense of progress" such as voluntary freezing on the enrichment of uranium.

A new bill, sponsored by Obama in the Senate, will require the federal government to publish a list of companies that have an investment of more than $20 million in the Iranian energy sector.

It will also authorize local governments to divest their pension funds from companies on the list and protect managers from lawsuits directed at them by investors who are unhappy with the decision to divest.

There is no reason to return money because someone made a film some people dont like.

That's about as unAmerican as you can get.

Um unless this film is hate speech or promotes hate, I dont get it??

Why is this a problem?

What about Syriana? What about any other number of films that could be construed as "anti-american"

This is absurd and just a little like McCarthyism. WHo cares. Its a FICTIONAL film.

Wow, that's all I can say to the Hillary supporters.

She gets caught doing something not so good and instead of simply accepting the fact that she is doing what the Clintons do--and its usually pretty indefensible--you attack Obama for doing the right thing.

Yes, I can see that Hillary has taught her troops well. When caught with a hand in the cookie jar, attack the baker.

Obama needs to release who he sent all the money to, his pet charity. of the dirty money from Rezko. Why didn't he give it to the courts, to return to the right full owner

Re Rezko vs this guy: I believe it is media bias showing its ugly head again. For whatever reason, the media has taken some sort of solemn vow to promote Hillary ever since she threw her hissy fit a few weeks ago and charged (unsubstantiated) favoritism toward Obama. Since then, she can do no wrong and if Obama breathes wrong the press is all over it.

This story should be front page but instead it is buried in a blog. How fair is that?

She said she said she has been vetted...what an irony...show us the tax returns.

Hmmm, Clinton caught once again in the same old politics.

If he reports on Obama, he;s biased toward Clinton. If he reports on Clinton, he's biased toward Obama. When will the madness end!! Oh wait, he hardly ever reports on McCain. Eureka! Thats where his biased leans..McCain! Give me a break this whole nana-nana-boo-boo is ridiculous. Everybody needs to grow up!

Oooops, can I say blacklisted? I wouldn't want to offend the Obama campaign with such a monstrous word.

returning to the McCarthy-ism Era"?

we're already there, you can't say Obama's middle name without being blacklisted. And with so many donations coming in from God knows where, it's difficult to keep track of who's been naughty and who's been nice. Sound familiar?

Daily Kos: March 9, 200

Clintons got money from Rezko co-defendants Chicago:

Since the name of Chicago defendant Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko has come up in national debate, it seems fair to look at donations from other defendants in Chicago’s "Operation Board Games."

Of the other five defendants, three have donated to the Clintons or to Clinton supporters, three have donated mostly to Republicans, and at least two have donated to Obama’s political opponents. None have donated to Obama.

I for one applaud Hillary Clinton on rejecting this fellow's involvement in future fundraising. She has a rock solid relationship with both Arab-Americans and Jewish-Americans and does not sanction the promotion of hatred between any parties. She's not telling Gary Busey not to do films, she's just saying that this is not something that she sanctions.

obama--yikes!!!!

"We WOULD be "returning to the McCarthy-ism Era" if obama were elected President"

-------
although all your posts are uniformed and mean - you now have added irrational to that list

The Hillaries will take the money and once the well is dried up they will gladly denounce and reject the source. People don't change.
