They came one after another... Hal was responding to your "If O did anything wrong" opinion.... They weren't urelated.

Post #112

Well as the fiascos over the birth certificate and Bill Ayres show - even if his campaign is cleared of any involvement, it won't make much difference to those who want to believe that he did something wrong.

Personally I think if O did do anything wrong it would be so covered up (Rezko, Ayres, Wright, etc) that it would never come out.

His pals Rahm & Axelrod might have a different story.

There again is more baseless assuming.

Blago conference at 2PM.

and

Emanuel talked directly to gov: source

President-elect Barack Obama's incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel had a deeper involvement in pressing for a U.S. Senate seat appointment than previously reported, the Sun-Times has learned. Emanuel had direct discussions about the seat with Gov. Blagojevich, who is is accused of trying to auction it to the highest bidder.

but it's about lies.

If you read the article you would have seen that.

A source with the Obama camp strongly denied Emanuel spoke with the governor directly about the seat, saying Emanuel only spoke with Blagojevich once recently to say he was taking the chief of staff post.

Doesn't that interpretation depend to some degree on the identity of the source?

Gotta give Dev credit. She did state it was her opinion, SF. And that is all that it is.

Sure, so then she shouldn't connect them the way she is trying to...

Oh well, I'm off for the rest of the day...

Everyone else can keep waxing or assuming all they like. I'm going out to play in the snow!

Right on. I'll be following suit later on in the day too. Gotta enjoy our dirty Chicago.

To be honest its really a bunch of nothingness to relate one issue with the other. Which is why the question was asked to clarify what line of thinking the reader is supposed to gather from the information presented at the time. In other words, what point of view- what message- are we to get from this?

Its all in how we clarify what we say.

Right - because people expect to see corruption in politicians, we tend to assume it in stories like this.

Yeah but not quite sure what it is we are supposed to assume independent of what might be or not the truth and furthermore... if it really is important to worry about given what will likely be the outcome in all of this.
