Nothing new about Jonathan Alter, he has been swooning over Obama
in Newsweek for months now.

Still, the only example of a candidate taking a loan is Richard Nixon?

John Kerry took a loan.

And the source of Clinton money? Last year they liquidated all their stock portfolios with, no doubt, a major taxable capital gain. I don't remember the amount, I don't know that it was ever disclosed, but if invested in money market funds, there were five million dollars there.

But, neither Olbermann nor Alter not anyone at MSNBC is interested in the truth. In the immortal words

"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH."

4. The so-called progressives are, and they don't speak for me..
...I'm sick of their shit, support who you want, but stop lying in the process...some on the left are no better than those on the right.

6. It's true and it's sickening.
As joeybee12 said, support whom you want because that is your right.
But this election cycle has proven to me that there is a leftwing equivalent of Rush, Hannity, Savage, Freerepublic, little green footballs, Ingraham, etc.....
So yes, the left can be just as bad as the right.

10. Even if they do not support her nomination that doesn't make them "against"
Hillary. This is not a war. Even though it might feel like one.

9. Do you have specifics about the issues that I raised, i.e.
wondering and singling her about loaning her campaign?

Oh, thinking is soooo hard...

Why bother to talk about a specific topic when just puking in one's own soup bowl is so much better?

11. Kerry mortgaged his home over a month before first caucus. Upfront. No mystery.

No millions from Dubai royals in his bank account via Yucaipa or Yumama.

Hmmm.....Dubai royals....same ones Bush was giving control of our ports? Same ones who started a bank that went by the name BCCI?


Yep.

12. And no mystery here, either
CBS/AP) Hoping to avoid any possible conflict of interest, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband, the former president, liquidated a blind trust valued at $5 million to $25 million in April after learning that it included such investments as oil and drug companies and military contractors, her presidential campaign confirmed.

13. Uh...the Dubai money was recent. 20 MILLION.
And let's all pretend that Bill Clinton is naive and didn't know anything about it, even as he was advocating for the SAME Dubai company to get control of our ports just a couple years ago - yep - Bush's ports deal that we all railed against.

Same Dubai royal $$$ who staked a major share of BCCI.

That sounds good to you, eh?
