Who’s The Feminist? »

Recently, my fellow NQ writer, Linda Anselmi, found this article, which she kindly shared with me. It is quite an interesting take on why some women are so threatened by, um, no, wait, that’s not how the author, Ann Marlowe, would phrase it. More for her, why they don’t like her, as the [...]

Where In The World Is Marko? **UPDATED** »

As in Governor Mark Sanford, our illustrious leader down here in South Carolina. You may have heard by now that Governor Sanford was, um, unavailable for a few days. Out of the clear blue sky, no one knew where the heck he was. Was he at his family’s summer home on Sullivan’s [...]

Open Thread & Late Night Extra: FNS Panel Talks AFTER the Show »

Chris Wallace’s Fox News Sunday panel talks after the show about Obama’s budget — and how the Obama administration is HUNTING FOR $$$$ to pay for their Nancy Pelosi-style plans. Me? I want us to focus on first things first: First we get out of big-time trouble economically, we unfreeze credit so [...]

[Classic NQ] Obama Fundraiser and Political Patron Antoin “Tony” Rezko Convicted »

Remember when Tony Rezko was convicted during the campaign? NQ thought you might like a reminder of what Rezko was up to and his connection to PEBO. This story by truthteller was originally posted in June, 2008. Pictures with the original story are no longer available.
Good job, Obamacrats. Do you seriously [...]

[Classic NQ] What Hypocrite Obama Should Have Discussed in His Wesleyan Commencement Address »

Way back in May, Truthteller dissected a speech by candidate Obama to show the difference between the man and the message. Picture with the original story is no longer available.
Original story.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (AP) - Filling in for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and tying himself to the family’s legacy, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama urged [...]

Breaking: “FBI asked questions on Rezko land deal” »

From today’s Washington Times — you know, that major newspaper whose reporter was kicked off of Obama’s plane last week, along with reporters for the New York Post and Dallas Morning News (see American Girl in Italy’s “love me, or else!)”:
A former Illinois real estate specialist says FBI agents have questioned him about a Chicago [...]

Open Thread * More on Rezko & Obama »

Let’s tie this open thread’s chief topic to Truthteller’s significant breaking story, “BREAKING: Obama Land Deal with Rezko and Mutual Bank Subject of New Court Complaint.”
Recently, a friend asked for information on now convicted Tony Rezko and Barack Obama. Here’s what I sent her, from more stories on the Obamas’ mansion to Obama’s entanglements [...]

BREAKING: Obama Land Deal with Rezko and Mutual Bank Subject of New Court Complaint »

No Quarter introduced readers to the Mutual Bank in Chicago after a Chicago Sun-Times columnist mentioned how a certain financial institution in Chicago would become the subject of a federal probe to be conducted by Fitzgerald’s prosecutors in relation to the conviction of Antoin “Tony” Rezko. Although I cautioned I did not have conclusive [...]

About the Financial Institution Mentioned in the Sun-Times: Obama, Tony Rezko, Amrish Mahajan, the Kenwood Mansion & Rita Rezko »

**********Truthteller asks bloggers and reporters to direct their attention to Amrish Mahajan and the Mutual Bank of Harvey.**********
Mike Robinson’s AP article entitled “Obama Fundraiser, Convicted of Fraud, Spills Beans,” corroborates what we at No Quarter have been writing for weeks: Antoin “Tony” Rezko is cooperating with federal prosecutors interested in Barack Obama. While the [...]

CORROBORATED: Rezko Speaks, Prosecutors Interested in Obama Listen »

(bumped up by SusanUnPC)

We warned readers of No Quarter of the problems convicted slumlord and political fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko would create for Obama during the final stretch of the Presidential campaign, and now we have confirmation. I quote the Associated Press:
CHICAGO (AP) — Federal prosecutors have asked to delay the sentencing of convicted [...]

Open Thread * Obama Can Try to Run But He Can’t Hide »

While Sarah Palin continues her assault on Obama’s lies about his extensive, long-term associations with Bill Ayers, the Obama campaign is madly scrambling and is now claiming that, in the mid-1990s, Obama had no knowledge of Bill Ayers’ background. See The Page’s story, “Axelrod Says Obama Was In the Dark.”
If any of you believe that, [...]

Rezko Speaks, Prosecutors Interested in Obama Listen »

No Quarter reproduced Rezko’s letter to Judge Amy St. Eve dated 9 JUN 2008 in an essay I published on 12 JUN 2008. I quote Antoin “Tony” Rezko:
Your Honor, the prosecutors have been overzealous in pursuing a crime that never happened. They are pressuring me to tell them the “wrong” things that I supposedly [...]

“CHICAGO MACHINE” »

At the end of his rather provocative story today, Eastan already posted this new video, but just in case you missed it, it’s worth posting above the fold. The campaign couldn’t list all of Obama’s Chicago cronies, so I’ve added some names for you to checkout in the Category list above the story.

In mid-June, [...]

I Adore Carol Marin of the Chicago Sun-Times »

Carol Marin of the Chicago Sun-Times is the blue flower in the landscape of journalistic vapidity.  Indeed, she is the intrepid news reporter who appears in this video created by Flineo:
 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP-YoB5mnZs[/youtube]
Casting a critical glance at Michelle Obama’s abortive attempt to woo women voters at the Palmer House this week in Chicago, Marin explains why Michelle’s [...]

The Skinny on the Obamas’ Home Loan »

We wrote several articles — here, here, and here — on reports last week about the favorable home loan that the Obamas received for the $1.6 milion mansion they couldn’t afford, but which the now-convicted Tony Rezko made possible. We pointed to the connections between Chicago’s Crown family, billionaire industrialists and constant Obama campaign [...]

Recently Unsealed Court Documents Confirm Obama Heavily Embroiled in Rezko Case »

According to today’s edition of the Chicago Sun-Times, “Barack Obama’s name could have been invoked more at the corruption trial of his former fund-raiser Tony Rezko.”  But prosecutors instead chose to focus on the first target of Fitzgerald’s probe: convicted slumlord and notorious Chicago political fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko, the man who helped Obama purchase his [...]

The UnDemocratic Party: The New Culture War pt 2 »

Millions of people believe that the Democratic primary was fixed, which is a major reason why former Clinton supporters will never vote for Barack Obama. Some may vote for John McCain, some may vote for an alternative candidate, and some may sit this one out. But when surfing through the internet, one can’t help but be struck [...]

Prescience: “Will Rezko Blow Up Obama?” »

Larry Johnson writes the following on 28 JAN 2008:
We may not find out until Rezko’s trial starts on 25 February. Imagine this nightmare scenario. Obama nails down the Democratic nomination for President on Super Tuesday. But then comes the Rezko trial and we learn Obama was doing favors to get an Iraqi felon a visa [...]

The Epistolary Rezko »

The content of Antoin “Tony” Rezko’s letter to Judge St. Eve dated 9 JUN 2008 is so trite it is almost entertaining. The trope of the upwardly mobile immigrant is invoked in order to justify all the fraud and corruption in which he and other Chicago politicians and operatives were engaged. “I am [...]

[VIDEO UPDATE] Obama Fundraiser and Political Patron Antoin “Tony” Rezko Convicted »

Good job, Obamacrats. Do you seriously believe it is in the best interest of my Party to nominate someone who has had a professional, financial, personal and political relationship with a convicted slumlord and political fixer since at least 1991? Are we now the Party of corruption?
