It's funny seeing all the Obama supporters here looking for Hillary and Bill's tax returns

[Catherine Vincent]

You folks act like a bunch of rabid right wingers. Is this freerepublic?

[Horse with no Name]

1. They are taking turns dragging it in

a lot like when your cat drags a dead gopher to your feet and drops it and expects you to as pleased as they are.

[Lucinda]

34. LOL

I have a lot of practical experience with that analogy.

[Skwmom]

45. We are doing Clinton a favor. Better to face it now then in the general election. :)

[Horse with no Name]

54. I recognize the fever pitch and the blood lust

You all went after MY candidate when he was still viable to make YOURS more viable.
So don't fucking talk to ME about favors. You are in it for yourself and your candidate and could seriously give ten rats asses about the party or the party unity.

[KittyWampus]

51. Like the assholes who bring up Rezko? EXCPEPT- we know Bill Clinton lobbied for Dubai

how much did he get?

[blm]

55. Last I heard Bill banked 20 million from the Dubai royals he protected from BCCI matters

throughout the 90s. But we're not supposed to know enough to make that connection.

[scheming daemons]

2. Just responding in kind to the past two weeks by the Hillary campaign...

...

[lojasmo]

3. She said in the debate that she WOULD release them

Where are they?

[JuniperLea]

6. She said she would release them in April, once they are prepared...

What's wrong with that?

[Skwmom]

16. She hasn't prepared her 2006 tax return?

[Cant trust em]

22. If a candidate wanted to fully disclose information

they could have their returns finished before April. I know plenty of people who have already received their refund, let alone finished their return. It's not like she's doing the taxes herself.

[Catherine Vincent]

8. Since when have you guys listened to Hillary?

You all claim she's a liar, why'd you believe her in the first place?

[Cooley Hurd]

4. ...and the supporters of Senator Clinton pushing Rezko crap!

Same dif. ;):hi:

[yourguide]

9. Ah except check out the thread showing one of HRCs

major donors named in the Rezko trial. Nice big NY Times article on the donors as well.

what goes around comes around.

12. whilst Barack Obama pushed Harry & Louise. nt

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

39. HIllary also making Obama blacker on her website - see link

[Dogmudgeon]

66. Why are you bigoted against Oompah-Loompahs?

Foul! Foul, I cry!

:rofl:

--p!

[angie_love]

5. Wheres Hillarys tax returns?

[JuniperLea]

10. Being prepared... like everyone elses?

What's the problem with waiting until April when they will be prepared for filing?

[scheming daemons]

15. Asking for 2006's... not 2007's......

...they were prepared a year ago.


Nice try.

[JackORoses]

23. This is not just this year's return. It is all the returns since they left the White House.

Do you seriously believe that she doesn't have the records for 2000-2006 available?

They don't want Pennsylvanians using them in the decision-making process.

[Skwmom]

47. Yeah, where are the returns for 2000 - 2006?

[JuniperLea]

61. What about the Senate disclosures?

Don't they count?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

40. How'd she make her $54 Million?

They were broke when they left the White House.

How well would word of her crazy insane unGodly wealth play in Ohio etc?

[BeyondGeography]

67. Not to worry...She's a fighter for poor white people

:thumbsup:

[NDambi]

49. what about 2006,

[BigDDem]

They ran off

with Obama's state Senate records

[ExtraGriz]

14. where's obama's billing reords for rezko?

when he worked for him? he has refused to release it.

[RoadRage]

18. With all of the Clinton's paperwork from their years in the white house...

let's not mix apples & oranges. If you want to go after Obama's papers- we can go after Clinton's too.

But tax returns.. now that's something Obama released long ago.. so where are Hillary's?

[yourguide]

19. did you see one of HRCs big donors

is named in the Rezko trial?


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4907332

[durrrty libby]

24. That will become a big deal Imagine Obama the "community organizer

and savior to the poor" got paid to protect slumlord Rezko from having to

give his tenants heat in freezing Chicago weather.

BO is a phony through and through

[tabatha]

26. Where's the evidence of that?

Link please.

[Critters2]

33. The trial hasn't begun yet. Give it time. nt

[anigbrowl]

36. They don't have any...they're just throwing mud and hoping something sticks.

Fuck 'em. Their Rezko obsession is blowing up in their faces now as the trial is going to show much more money flowing to Clinton from corrupt businesses in Illinois than Obama ever saw during his entire time there. some of us knew this from doing our research properly, but chose not to point it out to the mudslingers :-)

[durrrty libby]

63. Here ya go

"Woodlawn was partners with Rezko in four low-income housing projects with hundreds of units. In at least one instance, in 1994, Obama represented Woodlawn on a troubled project it later shared with Rezko. The city of Chicago sued, alleging Woodlawn failed to provide tenants with heat in the winter, and Obama represented the landlord in court."

[karynnj]

58. except that is not true

The work he did had nothing to do with that.

[durrrty libby]

64. Yes it did see above link.

[anigbrowl]

31. Yawn - here's the info (coz there's nothing to hide)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/22/AR2008012203513_pf.html

"William Miceli, Obama's supervisor at the law firm, said the firm represented the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corp., a nonprofit group that redeveloped a run-down property on Chicago's South Side with Rezko. He called Clinton's assertion that Obama represented Rezko in a slum landlord business "categorically untrue."

"He was a very junior lawyer at the time, who was given responsibility for basic due diligence, document review," said Miceli, adding that Obama did what he was told by the firm. According to Miceli, that was the only time Obama worked on a Rezko-related project while at the law firm."

[Mezzo]

7. It's what they gotta do...act like republicans and pretend they're democrats.

Like saying the dlc is with her whilst BO's hanging out with Rahm Emmanuel all the time. oooooooookay

[anonymous171]

11. Hillary is a chair at the DLC.

[angie_love]

21. If I were a DINO I'd vote for Hillary over Obama. No question about it.

But I'm not.

[seabeyond]

27. all morning i heard HRC supporter apologist tell us dirty politics was simply good politics

so no whining when obama people do it too. literally told, this is the way we are suppose to compete with each other.

[Bigleaf]

13. You sleep with the dogs and you are bound to get fleas. Sorry!

[RoadRage]

17. In the words of many Clinton supporters "Do you think McCain's camp WON'T go after this"??

I mean.. every time she throws shit - that's the reply.. "This is nothing compared to what's in store from McCain and the Repugs"...

So, yeah Hillary - I want to know what you're hiding in your tax returns while we still have a shot of voting a guy in who doesn't have that hiding in his closet. Better the shit come out now then in September when we're stuck with her, and McCain has a field day going through those records.

And, if there is nothing at all to hide- why not release them long ago?

[hfojvt]

20. Nah, FreeRepublic is busy celebrating Clinton's wins

and laughing at DUers flinging feces at each other.

[seabeyond]

25. not true cat. i was told by HRC supporters this morning, not dirty politics, good politics

this is what we are suppose to do.

had a handful of posters let me know, that dirty politics is the thing to do, not only be proud, but shout it out

[Catherine Vincent]

30. Well, politics is a dirty business.

nt

[seabeyond]

38. oh... since has to do with clintons dirty politics, now it is ok. hmmmm. n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

44. I didn't say it was okay. nt

[seabeyond]

50. i dont think it is ok either. i have not liked hillary, but all this time i never bashed her

went after her and insisted i would support her if she won. i have allowed hrc supporters to have their warm fuzzy feelings for her without any of my negative input. what i saw the last couple days from hillary put her right in the same camp as bushco/rove and her supporters as the republican party that did not stand up to bushco/rove unethical tactics and lies

it isnt ok.

[thewiseguy]

48. Then why are you complaining?

[Catherine Vincent]

56. Not complaining. Just laughing. nt

[DURHAM D]

28. What is funny to me is that those Obama supporters screaming for tax returns -

could not read/understand them anyway. They will need to ask their parents for help.

[ProSense]

29. No it isn't freerepublic. Hillary needs to release her returns. Full disclosure and transparency n/t

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

32. pot/kettle

[mmonk]

35. Brave + cocky is dangerous.

[Bread and Circus]

37. This is kind of like the Rezko witch hunt... is that Freeper material too?

I'm not that interested in either witch hunt to be honest but let's be fair here.

[redqueen]

42. Fair?

Aw. :)

It seems reasonable enough, right?

[redqueen]

41. Is it only Obama's supporters calling Hillary's supporters "basement-dwelling keyboard warriors"?

Sorry, but both camps have their... whatever.

[Bigleaf]

43. Here is the reason.

From Americablog:

The candidates preceding Hillary released their returns before they were the nominee. According to the Washington Post, "Sen. John F. Kerry released his returns in December 2003, long before winning the nomination; Vice President Al Gore's returns, of course, were already public." And Kucinich, Dean, Clark, Gephardt, and even evil Joe Lieberman released his returns.

Then there's Bill Clinton. In 1992, Bill Clinton made his tax returns public during the primaries. But, there was a catch. He didn't release his 1979 and 1978 tax returns. Those were the returns showing that Hillary had made a 10,000% cattle-futures profit that raised a few eyebrows.

So is that why Hillary isn't releasing her returns? Because she knows that sometimes tax returns hide things that might appear (or be) scandalous? But even that argument doesn't make sense since Hillary has promised to release her returns AFTER she becomes the nominee. That means that she has no privacy interest in her tax returns, she's going to let the public see them soon anyway, but she simply doesn't want Democratic voters to get the chance to have her tax returns inform their vote during the primaries.

[NDambi]

46. Hill and Bill can kill the rabidness just by releasing them...simple really.

[RunningFromCongress]

52. She went negative. Welcome to a negative campaign. It's time to destroy the party.

[Dogmudgeon]

68. Why not? Obama "surrogates" called her a racist and got the press to advertise it.

Passive-Aggressive political smears: Yes They Do!

--p!

[eleny]

53. She said she was fully vetted - nothing more to know.

This will make her honest.

[rug]

57. They're pumping up their admission packets for Pepperdine University School of Law

so they can study law under the Honorable Kenneth W. Starr.

[tabasco]

59. Clinton said she was "better vetted" so she made transparency an issue.

What is Hillary hiding from the Democratic voters?

Your blind loyalty is more akin to a freeper. They march in lock step and refuse to scrutinize their own.

That is not a trait of good Democrats or good Americans!

[Vinca]

60. We're just taking a page from the Clinton/Rove playbook.

Do you expect us to make nice when our candidate is being smeared? Show us the damn tax returns.

[truebrit71]

62. No, do only freepers expect open and honest disclosure from their candidates?

...What is she hiding and why won't she release them?

[MadBadger]

65. You've got to be a journalist

Shilling for one side but pretending to be neutral

[tekisui]

69. It's called going negative.

And it is well past time.

[Dogmudgeon]

70. What will the haters do when HRC releases them?

They'll have to find more "racist Photoshopped pictures".

--p!
