| I'm just wondering if you can set a goalpost. An honest politician should be able to raise money, as long as he does it right, right? |
Totally agree and would go further. If you are involved in the process of procuring/raising funds for your party / your candidate -- this is an "opt out" of any political appointment / action that would benefit said person.
That's how it's supposed to work; here, there and everywhere. Even a layman can understand that. I don't know what's worse -- Obama offering the position (in repayment) or Emanuel accepting (in payment). Who is worse, the girl or the John?

bacasper, when ALL your information is from one source - www.prisonplanet.com - you lose a lot of credibility. Not that they're always right, but ever hear of CNN? Newsweek? New York Times? LA Times? Washington Post? BBC? Even Wikipedia might be a better source of information than your Anti-Semitic blog. |
Look at all the articles I post. They are from many different sources. I do look at regularly prisonplanet though.
Enough people already see the prepackaged pablum from the MSM. I post from the mainstream, too. It is amazing how much and you can find there sometimes; the stories can be pretty incredible but you may have to piece them together from a bunch of different sources.
In any event, by all means dispute any of the claims presented, but just don't dismiss one because of its messenger. |

Reflecting on the Clinton transition . . .
| Quote: |
Why did Obama want Emanuel to be chief of staff? Surely his standing in and knowledge of the Congress.
But more importantly: Rahm knows the White House. He knows how to make the White House work. |

Not the Emanuel-Mossad-Lewinsky connection!
Rosen is also tied to Ted Olson, Coca Cola copyright controversy and a scandal now developing which will link Rosen to Rahm Emanuel and the Mossad in the sale of and transfer of PROMIS Software involving the alleged Russian spy Robert Hanson and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and laundered profits to both Israel and the Russian Federation.
and then this longer piece on his relationship to mossad, from the Wayne Madsen Report (subscriber only)
November 6, 2008 � Obama faced with security problem at outset of transition process
WMR has learned from informed U.S. intelligence sources that prospective Barack Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has an active FBI counter-intelligence file maintained on him. Emanuel�s rise to the Chief of Staff position may pose a significant security problem for President-elect Obama if the FBI insists on conducting the full background security investigation normally required for senior White House officials.
Questions about Emanuel�s links to the Israeli intelligence service, the Mossad, were allegedly so great that President Bill Clinton was forced to dismiss Emanuel from the White House staff in 1998. One of the FBI agents who discovered Emanuel�s dealings with Israeli intelligence was, according to our sources, the late FBI counter-terrorism Assistant Director John O�Neill. O�Neill retired after being set up in a smear operation involving a temporarily stolen brief case in 2001. O�Neill and another FBI agent who still works for the bureau and shall remain nameless at this point to protect him and his career discovered that Emanuel was heavily involved in the decision to place intern Monica Lewinsky close to President Clinton. O�Neill accepted the top security position for Kroll Associates at the World Trade Center. O�Neill was killed in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. WMR has also reported that O�Neill was a close friend of slain retired Houston CIA station chief Roland V. �Tony� Carnaby, who was similarly investigating Israeli intelligence operations in the Houston area when Houston police shot and killed him last April.
Emanuel reportedly had knowledge of Israeli intelligence penetration of White House communications systems and Lewinsky, in sworn testimony before the Office of Independent Counsel, stated: �He [Clinton] suspected that a foreign embassy [it is now known that embassy was that of Israel] was tapping his telephones, and he proposed cover stories.� Lewinsky continued, �If ever questioned, she should say that the two of them were just friends. If anyone ever asked about their phone sex, she should say that they knew their calls were being monitored all along, and the phone sex was just a put on.�
WMR has learned from U.S. intelligence sources that Emanuel was discovered to be part of a political intelligence and blackmail operation directed against Clinton by Israel�s Likud Party and Binyamin Netanyahu to sink Clinton�s proposed Middle East peace deal. We have also learned that the FBI investigation of Emanuel is part of a file code-named the �Mega file.� �Mega� is a reference to a top-level Mossad agent in the Reagan administration who was said to have run a number of Israeli agents, including U.S. Navy spy Jonathan Pollard.

I watched him on Real Time with Bill Mahr and thought the guy was completely out of touch with people are going through.
Obama had so many other good choices to choose from, why did he choose this guy???

| ^^Do you deny that Clinton dismissed Emanuel because of questions about his Mossad connections? |

Show me real evidence, not someone's blog and a Dave's ESL Cafe thread.
B. Clinton does not describe firing R. Emanuel in his memoirs...
| B. Clinton, while describing personnel changes in his staff near the end of his administration, wrote: |
| Rahm Emanuel had left, too. Since he had started with me as a campaign finance director in 1991, he had married and started a family, and he wanted to provide for them. Rahm's great gift was putting ideas into action. He saw the potential in issues everyone else missed, and he stayed on top of the details that often determine success or failure. After our defeat in 1994, he had played a major role in bringing my image back into line with reality. Within a few years Rahm would be back in Washington, as a congressman from Chicago, the city he thought should be capital of the world... |
Fired, you say? Show me. |
