Should Spitzer impugn Clinton in anyway? Should it innoculate Obama a bit on Rezko?

[Perky]

I so not think it should. I have never suggested that is should. The point it Guilt by mere Association is a two way street. which is all there apparently is on Rezko and Obama

[TomClash]

1. Oh, stop it

[rucky]

2. This really doesn't have alot to do with the primaries. n/t

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

3. Great... and let's blame Obama for Chapaquidick and Donna Rice

[Perky]

11. I am not....See post #10

[ctaylors6]

4. Was Spitzer Hillary's pimp? If not, this shouldn't impugn her in any way.

[rug]

5. How? Did Hillary change the sheets?

Or give him a reference to the madame?

[scheming daemons]

8. You guys have been beating Obama over the head with his "associations".....

...well.... if we should be judging Obama by the people he "associates" with (Rezko, Ayers, Pastor Wright)... then we need to judge Hillary by the people she "associates" with.


Spitzer is Hillary's Rezko.

[rug]

9. I see your point. The Governor of New York is quite similar to a slumlord.

[scheming daemons]

13. Apparently he is.... Running a prostitution ring is pretty scummy...

[rug]

21. Stealing public funds with political influence while keepng tenants in slums is incomparable.

[Perky]

23. And what does that have to do with Obama?

Not a thing.

[rug]

24. His name is on papers recommending him for those funds.

Did Hillary unwrap the condoms?

[Perky]

25. which papers and what is the linkage?

[rug]

26. Show me the wrappers and the link is yours.

[Perky]

30. Oh please... There are "wrappers" and there is no illegality between Obama and Rezko

That is the point of the OP.

[Perky]

33. Yeah I guess you don't have any wrappers either.

[scheming daemons]

28. Change the name in the story from Eliot Spitzer to Duval Patrick.....

...and then tell me what your reaction would be.


Be honest (if you're capable).



Thought so.

[rug]

29. Duval Patrick involved in prostitution ring!

[scheming daemons]

31. There would be 100 threads talking about how this is bad for Obama.... and you know it...

...

[Johnny__Motown]

6. it may help illustrate the double standard that Clinton supporters impose constantly

Other than that I kinda doubt it has any impact

[Perky]

15. That is the point I was making. Thanks for being abote to see the trees for the forest

[Armstead]

7. No. Leave it alone.

[scheming daemons]

19. The crawlers at the bottom of cable newscasts will say this....

"NY Gov Spitzer, Clinton Supporter, resigns over prostitution ring scandal"


If you don't think that's relevant to this campaign, you're dreaming.


It's as relevant as Rezko.

[Perky]

10. I don't think it should at all... For the same reason that Rezko Fraud trial

has nothing to do with Obama.


At best it is guilt by association and it would be wrong in both cases.

[Melinda]

18. Yeah, what he ^^^^^ says.

You said it better than I could anyway, and thanks for that.

[chimpymustgo]

12. You are sick.

[theHandpuppet]

14. Ah yes, another fine post from the "hope and unity" crowd

Shameful.

[Melinda]

20. One poster does not a "crowd" make. The more salient point of this thread is....

that the OP asked a question without infering nor drawing a conclusion. His view on the matter came much later, and if you'd bother to look, you may have agreed with it.



I personally appreciate the fact that the OP is attempting to diffuse a potentially pointless argument against one or both candidates without rancor on his part.

Edited to more fully add MY two cents and make corrections and admit I should never post while yet half asleep.

[Perky]

22. See post #10

[Az_lefty]

16. unless Bill gets dragged into this, it in no way impugns Hillary...

[charlie]

17. What?

No.

[Lucinda]

27. Thanks for the laugh!

[Upton]

32. Whats good for the goose is good for the gander

you use Rezko to attack Obama, you should have no complaints when Spitzer is used to attack HRC.
