Re: Emanuel Received $250K From Freddie Mac in Board Salary and Campaign Cash During Gee, a column written by a columnist for a conservative honk web site bashing a member of the proposed Obama administration. SHOCKING! But thanks for the link. I found a page on there where I could order some frozen freedom fries to bake in my American-made oven. -Pop
Re: Emanuel Received $250K From Freddie Mac in Board Salary and Campaign Cash During It extensively quotes an article from the Chicago Sun-Times. I bolded portions of these quotes. Or is that a "conservative honk web site" as well? Are you going to address the facts stated by the Sun-Times, or are you going to continue with your little ad hominem game you seem to love?
Re: Emanuel Received $250K From Freddie Mac in Board Salary and Campaign Cash During I just find you silly. You have started - at minimum - 20 threads in this forum in the past couple of weeks, all trying to link Obama with some sort of shady figures. Yet you refuse to acknowledge or even suggest that anything shady happens on the other side. On this subject specifically, why weren't you up in arms about the fact that John McCain's campaign team was swimming in Fannie and Freddie connections? His campaign manager was president of a lobbying association hired to protect Fannie and Freddie from government regulation. Another member of his campaign team was the head of lobbying for Fannie Mae and spread tens of millions of dollars around Washington in the form of lobbying contracts. You'll have to excuse me if I roll my eyes at your crap, considering that all the evidence points to you not necessarily giving a shit about corruption or croneyism or shady connections; rather you care much more about trying to paint the guy you didn't vote for as some sort of devil incarnate. Well guess what? You lost. And it's precisely because many of the people you voted for over the course of the last eight years were handsomely paid to not accomplish jack-squat, and the majority of Americans decided it was time to fire their asses and replace them with someone else. It gets old seeing you bitch and moan on this forum, essentially equating to a 2-year-old throwing a temper tantrum because he or she didn't get their way. Anything you post in this forum sets off a BS meter in my brain like nothing else. Sure, I could spend half of my day on The Huffington Post, or Daily KOS, or any of those other left-leaning blog-til-my-fingers-fall-off sites and then regurgitate it over here, but for the most part I know to take that stuff with a grain of salt. The same way I read your right wing BS that takes two quotes from a 30 paragraph article or a 30 minute speech out of context and tries to villify the person in question. -Pop
Re: Emanuel Received $250K From Freddie Mac in Board Salary and Campaign Cash During Getting back to the content of this thread, I need some help understanding the nature of the accusations. Is the author of the article suggesting he's partly responsible for the crimes the company committed, or that there was a conflict of interest between his political activity and his association with this company? Do we know what he did on that board member, or is it just speculation? I just want to get a better handle of what all this means.
Re: Emanuel Received $250K From Freddie Mac in Board Salary and Campaign Cash During ABC News now is reporting on this. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=6201900&page=1 I don't find you silly, I find you ignorant, and the worst part is that it is a willful ignorance. Now write another 5 paragraph rant that is full of nothing substantive. Address the facts...or don't. Just don't lecture me because you are too stubborn (or incurious?) to do some reading of things that may make you uncomfortable.
Re: Emanuel Received $250K From Freddie Mac in Board Salary and Campaign Cash During Just criticize what he said instead of addressing it, it's a lot easier that way.
Re: Emanuel Received $250K From Freddie Mac in Board Salary and Campaign Cash During Hello tag-a-long. He didn't address my article other than to dismiss it, and he started off with yet another ad hominem attack, which seems to be his specialty. As for addressing what he posted, if I am "silly", what is the point? Rahm Emanuel was a Director of Freddie Mac during the period where the books were cooked. Find me someone on McCain's staff who was also a Director, and who then was in charge of Freddie oversight while in Congress (and while still holding Freddie stock). Or, just insult me. That seems to be the way of one coward, should you jump on board?
Re: Emanuel Received $250K From Freddie Mac in Board Salary and Campaign Cash During No I'm on your side. I thought it was well played.
Re: Emanuel Received $250K From Freddie Mac in Board Salary and Campaign Cash During What do you want us to do about it?
