Obama Money Man Rezko Convicted
ELECTION 2008 Obama 'money man' tied to 'house n-ggers' pastor Indicted fundraiser Rezko also raised cash for senator's spiritual adviser, superdelegate Posted: March 24, 2008 9:37 pm Eastern © 2008 WorldNetDaily Antoin "Tony" Rezko Indicted Illinois businessman Antoin Rezko, a key fundraiser for Sen. Barack Obama, also raised money for a controversial pastor and superdelegate linked to the Democratic presidential candidate, WND has learned. James Meeks an Illinois state senator, pastor of one of the largest churches in the state and a declared spiritual adviser for Obama came under fire for comments rebroadcast last week calling white American mayors "slave masters" and referring to black preachers and politicians who "protect" the "white man" as "house n-ggers." According to Illinois State Board of Elections records, Rezko's businesses, Rezmar Corp. and Rezko Concession, contributed $9,000 to Meeks' campaign funds in 2002. A Rezko employee contributed $5,000 to Meeks that same year, and Ali Ata, Rezko's co-defendant, contributed $2,000, the records show. Rezko is on trial in federal court on charges arising from a multimillion-dollar hospital contract scandal. Scores of media reports describe Rezko as an Obama friend and a key campaign fundraiser and networker for the presidential candidate. At first, Rezko was linked to Obama through two 2005 real estate purchases in which the senator bought a Chicago mansion at less than the asking price on the same day Rezko and his wife, Rita, purchased a lot adjacent to the property. Rita Rezko then sold part of the lot to Obama. Obama told the Chicago Sun-Times the real estate purchase was "an area where I can see sort of a lapse in judgment, where I could have said, 'No, I'm not sure that's a good idea,'" (Story continues below) Later, Obama's campaign disclosed Rezko provided or raised up to $160,000 in contributions. Then in interviews last week with two Chicago newspapers, Obama admitted Rezko's contributions were $250,000, nearly $90,000 more than the campaign previously acknowledged. The presidential candidate explained the $160,000 figure only represented the total for his 2004 U.S. Senate race. He conceded Rezko also helped raise between $60,000 and $90,000 more for his state senate contests and his unsuccessful congressional campaign in 2000. On Sunday, Obama's campaign released to the Chicago Tribune documents showing Rezko was among 117 people who worked on Obama's 2004 U.S. Senate campaign. Rezko's funding to Meeks comes after the Illinois religious and political figure came under fire for racist remarks. "We don't have slave masters, we got mayors," Meeks said in an August 2006 sermon broadcast on a Chicago community television channel. The speech was aired last week by Fox News Channel's "Hannity and Colmes" and discussed on Sean Hannity's radio show last week. Continued Meeks in the sermon: "But they are still the same white people who are presiding over systems where black people are not able to be educated. You got some preachers that are house n-ggers. You got some elected officials that are house n-ggers. Rather than them try and break this up, they're gonna fight you to protect that white man." Meeks at the time was lashing out at Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley over public school funding issues. When confronted about his divisive rhetoric in 2006 by Mike Flannery, a political editor for the local CBS affiliate, Meeks defended his sermon. "Is it fair to compare Mayor Daley, him and the governor, to slave masters?" Flannery asked. "They do the same thing," Meeks replied. 'They preside over systems where they have the control of the lives of African-American and Hispanic people." (more... http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=59812
