KHQA TV wishes to offer clarification regarding a story that appeared last month on our website ConnectTristates.com. The story, which discussed the appointment of a replacement for President Elect Obama’in the U.S. Senate, became the subject of much discussion on talk radio and on blog sites Wednesday.
The story housed in our website archive was on the morning of November 5, 2008. It suggested that a meeting was scheduled later that day between President Elect Obama and Illinois Governor Blagojevich. KHQA has no knowledge that any meeting ever took place. Governor Blagojevich did appear at a news conference in Chicago on that date.
In addition to the cited scheduled meeting on November 5, a story posted on the net on Saturday, November 08, 2008 at 9:48 p.m. confirms the meeting:
QUINCY, IL — Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled.Obama met with Governor Rod Blagojevich earlier this week to discuss it. Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement. There’s already been speculation about his selection...from Congressman Jesse Jackson, Junior to Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth.
[SMOKING GUN]: Director of Illinois Dept. of Veterans' Affairs visits Quincy(Obama - Blago meeting)
This link and article have also been removed. The media again covering for Obama.
(Illinois TV station now says no 11/5 Obama-Blagojevich meeting did not occur)
Neither did his Hawiian birth!!
Huh?
Amazing. Too bad they can’t disappear Fitz’s audiotapes. *snicker*
Wow.
Sounds like Obama’s people called KHQA and asked if they wanted to keep their FCC license.
Stories starting to disappear ping...
"KHQA Clarification (Illinois TV station now says no 11/5 Obama-Blagojevich meeting did not occur)"
“It suggested that a meeting was scheduled later that day between President Elect Obama and Illinois Governor Blagojevich.”
It SUGGESTED? Huh? I suggest that you guys just got told your license was going to be revoked. THAT is a suggestion...
Trust is a hard thing to come by these days.....
What’s funny is all these people with “no knowledge” of various things. Hey morons, I bet the feds have tons of documents about meetings and deals. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Truth Squad in action.
Back in the old Whitewater Days (the founders and first members of Free Republic will remember this well), the operative phrases from the Clintons went something like this:
“I have no recollection of that...”
“You won’t find a shred of evidence regarding that...”
“That’s so outrageous a question/claim that it doesn’t deserve the dignity of a response...”
It sounds like the Obama-nuts are pulling up the old phrases that worked so well in times past.
"Because Accuracy Matters"
LOL
Svengali is at work again.
Those lying pieces of crap. They have a before and after article, and it wasn’t until now that they decided they weren’t accurate and didn’t happen?
Scrubbing.
A meeting on Nov. 5 doesn't fit with the transcript of the phone tap in the charges. There's no indication of it: Blago just kept on rolling with his schemes, with no indication of any direct meeting with anyone from the Obama camp at the time.
The stories can disappear, but what if Fritzgerald the meetings all on tape! We really don’t know, but just might be he does!
Good grief! What next? Fitz loses the recordings?
LOL!
