Only HRC's devotees are allowed to do that.

[dchill]

45. Anyway, my point was that if you Google...

"I don't know Mr. Rezko" - quotes and all, all you get are the DU comments of The_Casual_Observer, DU member and Hillary devotee. In all of Google. It's HIS quote, not Obama's.

[Hepburn]

15. Good for you on not knowing him....

[The_Casual_Observer]

19. He never met the guy, or it was a lapse in judgment, or it was a

boneheaded move. Take your pick.

[Hepburn]

37. My pick is....

[The_Casual_Observer]

43. I can't take him or you seriously. The fool or the follower of the fool.

[Hepburn]

It was so embarrassing.

[Hepburn]

[Buzz Clik]

[Iceburg]

35. Lie # 53: Obama: "I barely know Rezko"

Monday, April 7, 2008
RezkoWatch FactChecker: "I barely know Rezko"
...
Interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, March 14, 2008:

In his statement, Sen. Obama said that after he joined the law firm , "practicing law for the next four years ... our paths would cross at times because they were doing development work. ... But at that time, I wasn't particularly close with Tony, although I was familiar with him and I would see him on occasion."

Again speaking of his Illinois state senate campaign in 1995, Sen. Obama said "So we became friendly at that point, and through most of my years in the Senate <1996-2004>, he was somebody I considered a friend, and I'd probably see maybe when I wasn't in the midst of a campaign, I would probably see maybe six times a year. We'd have lunch or we'd have breakfast. ..."

Speaking about his U.S. House of Representatives race in 2000 against Bobby Rush, Sen. Obama said of Tony Rezko: "We'd continue to have lunches or breakfasts. We'd talk about politics .. family."

Speaking of his 2003-2004 run for the U.S. Senate, Sen. Obama said of Tony Rezko: "Tony joined my finance committee ... He was an active member ..."
...

Kinda gives the word "barely" an entire new meaning, doesn't it?
