I'm sick of this Rezko coverage
I can understand bringing this up as for questions but Obama addressed it in detail of how he was involved and asked for an apology, not that I feel he should of. There is no evidence linking whatever this man did that was illegal to Obama and doubt he had any knowledge of what he was involved in. Plus Obama claims he has given the money he received from Rezko into charities. But the media never gets tired of bringing this up, as far as I can tell this is most dirt they have Obama so they are trying to cast this shadow over him and what really grinds me is that I don't recall any in depth media coverage of Bush's former businesses and many other shady, currupt people he was involved in and shady currupt shit he was personally involved with. Or any straight answers from Bush.

I know the MSM is going to do everything they can to paint him as another shady politician but this is not good if this is the best they got on him and I'm sure the really digged for as much info as possible. I can't see how anyone honestly believes in the liberal media and why do they feel MSNBC is in the tank for Obama? Because of Olbermann? What bothers me is that average joe watching the news sees the garbage run over and over again with no in depth of contraversal reports on McCain and they do have an impact on this election (even with negative coverage of dems we still manage to pull off 45-50% of the popular vote) but I doubt the rethugs would be getting away with this shit if the news would air the truth.

5. it goes against the truth that is in obama
the thing is in church you are taught that by sticking to the honorable path you will be rewarded in the end by GOD. at least that is what i've always believed. the temptation to sin because someone else did is like the ultimate test for a christian to endure. we have to search for the "clean" ways to attack asswipe. God doesn't like lying, cheating ,or slander. this is an old lady saying how she sees it. i think if we do our best to get obama in office--all the crap will wash away because GOD honors us when we act as He asked us to. i know there are a lot of people who don't agree....but my worldview is the only place i feel safe & protected. :):):)

3. I wish they would have brought it up when it happened.
Instead of dragging it out now for the echobots in the GOP-controlled media.

Oh, and don't forget: the trial will happen right around election day.

8. Right! Because "garbage run over and over again" becomes TRUTH.
It remains unchallenged, it must be true.

Add that the left-wing M$M would challenge it if they could, and viola! That locks it as true, no matter how false it is, no matter how ridiculous it sounds.
