Well. You're critique-ing the bias potential of everyone else's sources. Where did you find this, so I can check out your own.
"Raciest" is the one or thing most "racy". I think philosopherBoi possibly meant "racist", but unfortunately misspelled it many, many times.
Where did I get the image from? Googled "hot nun"; where else?
[Edit]: Oopsy; someone cut off access to the picture:
No, saving that for McCain - he's married to the mob. Look up James Hensley - bootlegging, theft, illegal operations at a racetrack, able to buy a liquor distributor's license even though he had a felony conviction that disqualified him (can you say 'bribery'?? Sure. I knew you could).
McCain dumped the wife and children that waited for him when he was in Vietnam for a younger, richer heiress who's father was a mobster.

I didn't care about the source for the pic. I just didn't get it except as a dig for a mispelling, which I consider a cheap shot. I should have been more specific sorry.
I was more interested in your source for the article.
Why do you think that Tony R. has Mob connections? Are you thinking Italian Mafia? "Mobster" is an vague and inflammatory term. Proof? High dollar embezzlement and the first name Tony does not a Mobster make. Sorry. That was cute though. Wasn't he born in Syria anyway?

LOL ! !
Yanks get so worked up over elections. Really now, you should adopt our attitude of 'meet the new boss, same as the old boss.' You act like your Republic will crumble into dust if one party or the other wins.
Same old stuff, different faces ...

It's how we entertain ourselves Prof.
Qualitatively speaking, one crook is the same as the next, but we like to maintain the illusion that we get to pick our poison.

I got a chuckle out of your misspelling "misspelling".
Ah...so Tony's 16 felony convictions (six counts of wire fraud, six counts of mail fraud, two counts of corrupt solicitation, and two counts of money laundering) don't bother you so much, nor his sinister connections with your candidate for president. You're worried what tag I choose to call him by.
Obama & mobsters: Here's one for you:
Alexi Giannoulias, who became Illinois state treasurer last year after Obama vouched for him, has pledged to raise $100,000 for the senator's Oval Office bid.
Before he promised to raise funds for Obama, Giannoulias bankrolled Michael "Jaws" Giorango, a Chicagoan twice convicted of bookmaking and promoting prostitution.
Giannoulias is so tainted by reputed mob links that several top Illinois Dems, including the state's speaker of the House and party chairman, refused to endorse him even after he won the Democratic nomination with Obama's help.
Giannoulias was the bank's vice president and chief loan officer for most of the more than $15 million in loans.

By the way, Giannoulias has a very good chance of taking Obama's Senate seat should he win the White House.

Yes. I'm sure you did. Please note. "Cheap shot". I'm sure you never make spelling or grammatic mistakes in your various vitriolic rushes.
Well... As to that. I suppose they do. Any candidate is going to have dubious connections. But I took exception to the 'tag' because in the initial context with which you presented the word "mobster" you were trying to present more 'tags' for Obama.

I'll uh... Look into that. Is your only source the New York Post? Or are you going to give the rest like I asked?

Here ya go: 27,700 hits. You're welcome. http://www.google.nl/search?q=Giannouli ... =firefox-a
UncleBeer deigns to help those unfamiliar with Mr. Google.
Should it bother us? He was convicted, is doing the time. His 'sinister' connections to Obama are inferred - you have to believe it to see it. Rezko was part of a multimillion dollar fundraising effort for President Bush - should the Senate rush to impeach Bush over that?

Hardly. In fact, Rezko is reportedly singing to the Feds now even as we speak. We'll see what it yields.
Further along these same lines:
Demetris Giannoulias was on the Board at the Crossroads Fund, a Chicago Based left wing organzation supported by Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Barack Obama, which made grants to such stellar organizations as ACORN and other affordable housing swindlers.
http://www.cdobs.com/archive/our-column ... ma%2C1866/
In 2002, Rezko borrowed $10.5 Million from Broadway Bank, the Giannoulias family bank, the same bank where Barack Obama kept his Senate campaign funds. In 2006, Sen. Obama endorsed Alexi Giannoulias for Illinois State Treasurer, and gives Sec. Giannoulias a slot to speak at the Democratic National Convention.
Glad to see all these upstanding folks able to work so well together, too bad that Rezko doesn’t want to serve time, and holds quite a bit of information about the Chicago Political Establishment that may be interesting to the Feds.
Welcome to the fetid swamp of Chicago politics.
Inference and innuendo.
I might be worried if my name were Blagojevich, but my sources indicate that Rezko has no testimony of illegal activity by Obama. Nice for you that you can suggest that someone is going to reveal a massive criminal conspiracy when there is no evidence, no proof - but I guess that is how smears work. Unlike the legislative investigation that found that Palin actually did violate Alaska's ethics laws.

Heh. Not unlike the "McCain might have had a tryst 8 years ago with a Washington lobbyist, but we have absolutely no proof whatsoever" frontpage story the NYTimes ran back in March. This, while turning a blind eye to Edwards' broad-daylight dalliance. One can only laugh at what passes for journalism these days.
Let's review: An investigator (Branchflower) who is friends and colleagues with both the accuser (Monegan) and Democratic State Senator and overseer of the investigation Hollis French (who promised an "October Surprise" even before the investigation began, yet refused to recuse himself).
Branchflower puts under a microscope every direct and indirect contact that can possibly be claimed to to come, directly or indirectly, from Gov. Palin or her husband, Todd. In none of them did either Sarah or Todd Palin demand or request that Wooten be fired. Some of them date back to before Gov. Palin was even a candidate for governor. All of them are equally well explained by legitimate concerns that Wooten was a potential threat to the Palin family (having already made death threats against Gov. Palin’s father) and/or an embarrassment to the Alaska Department of Public Safety and the entire state law enforcement community. That the Palins also had strong — and entirely understandable! — negative feelings about Trooper Wooten does not make any of these communications remotely improper, much less illegal.
Nevertheless, Branchflower leaps to the personal conclusion (page 67 of the .pdf file) that “such claims of fear were not bona fide and were offered to provide cover for the Palins’ real motivation: to get Trooper Wooten fired for personal family related reasons.” Well, here’s another memo to Mr. Branchflower: When the family is question is the family of the Governor of Alaska, and when her security detail is charged with protecting her from threats, and in the process of that, the security detail actively seeks out information as to who may have previously made death threats against the family, that’s no longer solely a “personal family related reason.” And when someone like Trooper Wooten threatens to bring ridicule and shame to the entire state of Alaska, that’s no longer solely a “personal family related reason” either.
This all, despite Monegan's declaration:
The 'report' is nothing short of a bald-faced politically-motivated hatchet job.
