Illegal cash to Obama: WND stands accused
« on: August 07, 2008, 06:16:35 AM »
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.

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

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.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

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.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
