I think the Rezko story is a lot of hot air

[ruggerson]

and it is just the kind of Republican slime we as a party should stay away from during the primaries.

This smear by assocation is an ugly tactic and it hurts us as a party, no matter who ends up leading our ticket this fall.

1. Judicial Watch doesn't...

he made their top 10 list for 2007, and a dishonorable mention in 2006.

3. Where was Hillary on those lists?

I know, but I want you to post it.

7. Of course she was....

and I was well aware of that, but I'm not a Hillary supporter, so I won't defend her. I was adressing Obama. I like to stick to the current topic. I suggest you try it.

11. Judicial watch is right wing.

Try 'the google.' Does CREW have Obama on their lists? nope.

[Barack_America]

2. I agree. This article contains an extensive Q & A with Obama...

regarding Rezko. This was in 2006. Despite extensive digging since then, the story is still the same. To me, that signals that there might not be much more there.

4. Obama gave back $85,000.00 of Rezko dough - because it's hot air?

That's expensive air.

5. Everyone returns money

when there is a whiff of taint. I just think this process should play itself out on legitimate issues, not on hazy associations with someone who may have been a shady character.

And I say that as a Clinton supporter.

8. and Clinton had to give back exactly 10x that

are you willing to say the same thing? Is she guilty in your eyes too?

[JackORoses]

12. Hillary gave back 850,000 worth of Hsu donations, tht's 10X as much hot air

sounds about right...

6. thank you ruggerson. it's becoming rare ror people

here to step back from the partisan brink.

9. Hello pot, this is kettle....

[tishaLA]

10. obama supporter here

and i'm not so sure. i think it may be, but i don't want to dismiss how it might be represented though.

13. Oh, It Is, Sir

Unfortunately hot air can waft things up pretty high, and there is no doubt the Gentleman's enemies will make a great deal of hot air over this.

[Yossariant]

14. It's not time to dismiss it yet.

There is a new "wrinkle" just today.

And jail is a bad place to be. Maybe Rezko has something to say. Maybe not.

So far, it reminds me of the "Godfather."
