Former Windy City alderman Dorothy Tillman (D) was recently arrested in Birmingham, Ala., for trespassing, yet in a 27-paragraph article reporting the story, Chicago Tribune's Tara Malone failed to mention Tillman's party affiliation.
Tillman's leftist politics were briefly alluded to in a passing reference to how she was bailed out of jail by a minister who worked with Tillman on the issue of slavery reparations:
Rev. Al Dixon, 79, said he awoke to an early morning call from Tillman. The pair had worked together to seek slave reparations and share a history of involvement with the civil rights movement. When Tillman realized she might be arrested, she called Dixon, who is pastor of Anderson Chapel Ministries.

Not For Decades
March 3, 2008 - 13:59 ET by zeestephenThe Trib once was a great Conservative newspaper, but not since the 1970's. It bought the Ft. Lauderdale News-Sun Sentinel, also once a great Conservative paper, about 1980, and the Leftist makeover was instant and remains to this day.
And, a slightly off topic note to Ken Shepherd.....
More and more the MSM and wire services gratuitously add the word "moderate" to the names of many Muslim extremists.
Just yesterday Reuters described Mahmoud Abbas, Arafat's successor, as a "moderate," but gave no evidence for that.
Besides doing "Guess Which Party" pieces, NewsBusters should start doing "Guess Who's A Moderate" pieces, too, and follow up with some not so "moderate" quotes from these people.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

Perhaps Sharpe James (former Mayor of Newark) could give her a run for her money (pardon the pun).
No political affiliation mentioned in the AP article today (because he's democrat?) about his fraud trial.
TILLMAN & HER OBAMA CONNECTION...
March 4, 2008 - 12:33 ET by danybhoyThis woman pulled a pistol from her purse & waved it around during a city counscil meeting. Her ward had the the highest concentration of vacant lots in the city. She was big into cronyism, & did little to hide it.
But it is REPARATIONS that is her big issue. She uses (or should I say abuses) this "issue" to muck up everything shes involved in. She authored the "Slavery Era Disclosure Ordinance", & used it to screw up anything & anyone who would kiss her @$$. Slavery & reparation are her bread & butter, & she has swayed Obama from being against them to being for them, with John Conyers warming up in the bull-pen to push this issue through congress if Obama gets elected, which is a very real threat.
One reason Obama must be crushed in November is that this woman might very well be instermental in forming his policies. There are some morons that will be involved in an Obama administration, but Dorothy Tillman might be the worst of them. My fear is that this won't come to the attention of the American people untill it's upon them, & then it's too late.
The only person in the media I have heard talk about Tillman & her connection to Obama is Jim Quinn from the "Quinn & Rose" morning show, which is syndicated & on XM. I would encourage others in the media to expose this nutjob Tillman, & let tell America what is coming with Obama. You don't need to use his middle name to scare the people, show them who he's worked with & what they want to do, that should work better then Hussein if you ask me.
