1. wow...straight from the hillary HQ

is that hillary 08 letterhead i see.

please - this goes nowhere.

Carville - is that you??

[wndycty]

2. The Giannoulias family owned a bank, they made a loan that is all . . .

. . .everyday banks make loans to people with questionable backgrounds. Alexi was never ever accused of any legal wrong doing. You can keep posting this shit, but you are trying to just smear two good men. Obama and Giannoulias.

I'm sorry that Teddy didn't endorse your candidate.

3. Stop Spamming DU

4. Kill the messenger ?

we all live in glass houses..

5. Uh oh...

6. your other one gets locked, but you just troll on....

[papau]

7. This will not be mentioned by MSM - until after Obama has locked up nomination

[Nailzberg]

8. You're smearing a Democratic office holder that has not been implicated in any wrong-doing.

"The federal government looks at every loan in our portfolio and we've done nothing wrong. From day one, people have said we'd done nothing wrong, but it's politics and people are gonna make stories up," said Alexi Giannoulias, (D)-nominee for state treasurer.
