Sen. Barack Obama's campaign has admitted to receiving $33,500 in illegal foreign contributions from three brothers in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, but the left-wing Daily Kos website suggests WND – whose Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein investigated the story – might have concocted a convoluted scheme to make the Illinois senator look bad.
The brothers in question – Monir, Hosan and Osama Edwan – spoke on the record about the online donations to the presidential candidate.
"It could be true that [donations] were made, but as a part of a deliberate set-up to make Obama look bad. ... Aaron Klein reports from the Israel for WND. ... Again, obviously if an actual illegal donation was actually made it should be returned, but it would be interesting to find out who really made it and why," reads an article on the Daily Kos site.
"By the way, Aaron Klein is clearly an [sic] conservative anti-Obama reporter for the ultra-right-wing WorldNetDaily," the site contends.
In response, WND editor and publisher Joseph Farah commended the Daily Kos team for "their imagination in suggesting WND actually set up the Palestinian donations to the Obama campaign."

You know you're on the right track when CNN has to bring on someone like Kos to refute the claims.

I've always regarded WND as more eclectic and occasionally insane, rather than right-wing, myself.

OK, clue me in here.........
WHY is it that a candidate feels that they can simply "return" the illegally obtained monies and be done with it?? What about punishing the candidate and/or their team?? This has happened over the past couple of elections and nobody was ever prosecuted. Of course, it has ALWAYS been the Dems that have been exposed and caught.....

Because the Dems honestly believe the rules don't apply to them.

Wonder what legal ramifications this could lead to for Obama. I say "could" because we know he's gonna get a free pass on this. :whatever:

I'm going to guess he'll face the same consequences as Nancy Pelosi. He'll pay a small fine to the FEC, and this will be forgotten by the mass media.

....and sadly, this isn't going to mean a f'n thing. The moonbats are going to follow his dumb ass, the conservatives aren't, and the fence-sitters aren't going to be impressed. If they cared about this shit, they'd have left him after his Berlin speech.

And of course, Kos is a "moderate" who is just pointing out the hypocrisy on both sides.../sarc
Damn, I threw up a little in my mouth when I said that.

is it just me or does the head KosKiddie look a little.... :gay2: in that screen cap?
And yes, they will sweep this under the rug. Just imagine if it were McCain................. :whatever:
