Hillary Defends Questionable Donations, Refuses to Return Them

Hillary says she is proud to be getting questionable donations from poor immigrants in Chinatown. Nice way to flip the script:

The Los Angeles Times has reported that Clinton had received about 150 donations of between $500 and $2,000 each from dishwashers, street vendors and other low-wage workers. Of the contributions examined, one-third of the donors could not be found and a $1,000 donor denied giving a contribution, according to the report.

“I represent New York and New York is a symbol of the success of immigrants coming to America,” the senator told reporters Saturday after addressing supporters at the Oak Park Elementary School in Des Moines.

“I am pleased to have a lot of first-generation American support as well as people who have been longtime involved in the political process … I’m going to keep reaching out to everybody in our country. I want to be a president to everybody.”

I wonder if Bill coached her. She wants to rule over everyone. And she isn’t against taking money from questionable sources to get her power. Imagine if this was Rudy. Now, I don’t support Rudy, but for a second, just imagine if Rudy was getting money from sources he could not qualify as legal. This would be a much bigger story. Especially if he had a history of money dealings with the Chinese.

The Edwards campaign is trying to get a little credibility off of this mess, calling the contributions “questionable.” The Hillary campaign shot back a logical fallacy known as tu quoque, or literally, “you too”:

The Clinton campaign shot back at Edwards, questioning why his campaign has refused to return cash from lawyer Geoffrey Feiger, who was indicted for funneling cash illegally to Edwards.

Who would have imagined there would be so much dirty money in politics?

There is smoke here. Follow the money and find the fire.
