Hillary supporters- What about Rezko do you find more offensive than Jackson Stephens
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 07:59 AM by blm
GHWBush, Dubai and Saudi royals, Marc Rich and others who escaped accountability on BCCI matters thanks to Bill Clinton?


What has Rezko done and what has Obama done to cover up for Rezko that warrants such outrage from you that you can't seem to muster for those who funded global terror networks for decades and the Dem president who has been collecting MILLIONS from those he protected from accountability?

Did Obama PROTECT Rezko from any accountability the way Clintons protected the BCCI figures from accountability throughout the 90s?

1. Is any of it acceptable?
I find all corruption offensive.

3. Did Obama PROTECT Rezko AFTER the corruption became known? Did Clinton protect
the corrupt after he was HANDED the BCCI report?

And why have so many BCCI figures who were protected throughout the 90s putting so many millions into Bill's 'foundations' and his bank account?

7. if you call turning in every penny of donations, remotely
connected to REzko protection, yes.

The difference in behavior is stunning. Bill and Hill continued to work with them, profit from them, and in her case, vote in favor of their profits and interests.

14. Did Obama protect Rezko from accountability? Did he profit from that protection
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 09:37 AM by blm
the way Clinton has been profiting by the tens of millions from the very BCCI figures he protected throughout the 90s?

The question really is a simple one.

4. And one I expect Clinton supporters to avoid. There is no sign Rezko was protected
from accountability by Obama and THAT is what corruption is all about.

5. well, the Media always does their own 2-step. Publish info, hide damaging stuff
deep inside an article, and then forget it.

DU'ers aren't as well informed as they pretend to be.

And then, so much of the stuff debunking right-wing lies is essentially an arm of the Clinton machine.

Media Matters and David Brock are biased (probably due to Brock's residual guilt). Joe Conason's who schtick was centered around clearing the Clintons- and that meant discrediting ANYTHING even if it was true.

6. I suggest reading Mark Lombardi "Global Networks" last 2 chapters (he died in 2000)
"Bill Clinton, the Lippo Group and Jackson Stephens of Little Rock, Arkansas" and "Bill Clinton, the Lippo Group and China Ocean Shipping Co. (aka COSCO-Little Rock-Jakarta-Hong Kong ca 1990's"

FOLLOW THE MONEY BEFORE VOTING FOR MORE CORPORATISM!

8. Here is some additional info:
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 09:01 AM by mod mom
Mark Lombardi connections:

1 Jackson Stephens rivals Bath in his role as conduit between high-level factions. A Little Rock, Arkansas tycoon who attended the U.S. Naval Academy with Jimmy Carter and staked Sam Walton to found Wal-Mart in 1970, Stephens was owner of the notoriously toxic WTI Incinerator in East Liverpool, OH, and a munificent contributor to the campaign warchests of both Bill Clinton and George Bush, Sr. He was also embroiled in the BCCI affair through his association with BCCI satellite Union Bank of Switzerland—UBS, in turn, contributed $25 million to the moribund Harken Energy Corp.

12. That would be a good thread question. DU Dems know who James Bath is but pretend
that Jackson Stephens has no attachment to Clintons.

10. Because when you strip it all down to the bare facts, Obama did NOT PROTECT Rezko
from accountability once his dealings became known. And even so, none of those dealings were a danger to this nation's historic record or its national security.

Clintons protection of all the BCCI figures DID cost this nation greatly - and he has been profiting HANDSOMELY since leaving office and from the very people he protected throughout the 90s from accountability in these matters.

11. THERE ARE MANY THREADS on REZKO - WHY DO THEY AVOID THIS SIMPLE QUESTION?
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 09:17 AM by blm
All those posting outrage about Rezko can't answer a simple question about what Obama did to protect Rezko from accountability?

18. How many times do Hillary supporters need to be reminded that...
...Obama is NOT part of the investigation of Rezko?

How many times before it sinks in that Patrick Fitzgerald has said that Obama has done NO WRONGDOING in the Rezko case?

How many times? A thousand? A million times?

over Rezko is apparent.

Spitzer Is Linked to Prostitution Ring

By DANNY HAKIM
Published: March 10, 2008

ALBANY - Gov. Eliot Spitzer has informed his most senior administration officials that he had been involved in a prostitution ring, an administration official said this morning.

Mr. Spitzer, who was huddled with his top aides early this afternoon, had hours earlier abruptly canceled his scheduled public events for the day. He is set to make an announcement about 2:15 this afternoon at his Manhattan office.

Mr. Spitzer, a first-term Democrat who pledged to bring ethics reform and end the often seamy ways of Albany, is married with three children.

Just last week, federal prosecutors arrested four people in connection with an expensive prostitution operation. Administration officials would not say that this was the ring with which the governor had become involved.

28. He's also the man who groomed and bankrolled Clinton and underwrote his primary campaign
once his longtime pal, GHWBush, expected to be impeached in 93 after the release of the BCCI report in Dec 1992.

Jackson Stephens also just HAPPENED to be the man who brought the terrorist bank BCCI into this country.
