Beck falsely claimed William Paw gave Clinton "$200,000 in donations"
Summary: Glenn Beck -- apparently referring to Democratic donor William Paw -- falsely stated that Paw, who Beck said had an income of $46,000, sent Clinton "I think $200,000 in donations." In fact, according to the Federal Election Commission's donor database, William Paw himself donated $4,200 to Hillary Clinton's campaign and $11,800 to all Democratic candidates beginning in October 2005, while, according to the Los Angeles Times, the seven members of the Paw family "gave $213,000, including $55,000 to Clinton and $14,000 to candidates for state-level offices in New York." Beck's guest, American Spectator's R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., stated that Norman Hsu, a businessman and Clinton "bundler," is one of several "shadowy Asian figures" who have been involved with campaign finance violations associated with the Clintons.

if the clintons had committed 1/50th of the crimes the right wing has claimed of them, they would be serving several consecutive life sentences.

It doesn't matter, most who follow his rhetoric can't read.

Unless your side is 100-percent clean 9and it isn't), you shouldn't talk.

It looks like Clinton is not the only one having campaign finance woes.

Romney has not just one, but two problems with his campaign people.
Also, one of Rudy's campaign people was arrested for dealing coke. Gotta love those old-fashioned Republican values!

"shadowy Asian figures" - Isn't this overt racism? Why isn't anyone complaining about this - especially other Asian-Americans?

Wow, R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. is STILL around? AND he's a Junior? That means there was another around just like him and he wasn't spawned from the anus of the devil.
I sent him an email once in response to one of his editorial (and racist) rants. His reponse was pretty weak, most of it consisted of him poking fun at my name.
This from a man that has so many double letters in his name(S) that it is more like a stutter than a name.
What a little ranting fool he is. It figures he is reduced to marginal shows like Becks.

SAVE DEMOCRACY, VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT!!
This is all they got, we slept through Whitewater for 8 years as the corporate media flogged the obscure details to no effect as Clinton only became more popular, and the public more suspect of the Republican intent!
This would be Clinton's "bring it on" moment! I love the noise of Republicans going back to there old ways of making mountains of mole hills!
Happy Thoughts;
Dan Grady

Clinton became more popular thanks to the liberal media's constant glorification of all that was Clintonesque. Keep believing that they are almighty, you are a fool. I, for one, am allergic to commieism, I prefer my freedom. It will be interesting to see how the slithering snake(s) shakes this one off. By the way, Billy-Boy is doing appearances to sell his latest batch of bs, why is nobody asking his opinion on the latest politician to get caught with his pants down (or wide-stance standing)?

"Clinton became more popular thanks to the liberal media's constant glorification of all that was Clintonesque."--Dough-pro
You have got to be kidding, right? They beat him like a stepchild on the 6:00 news daily, and every weekend on the political shows. Please give me 1 or 2 legitamate example of Liberal media bias, since that is your claim.
"Keep believing that they are almighty, you are a fool."--Dough-ray-me
Where did you get that from? I didn't see Dan Grady equate the Clinton's to God. However, compared to George W Bush, perhap you and I are God.
"I, for one, am allergic to commieism, I prefer my freedom."--Dough-nut
What does "commieism" or lack of freedom have to do with this item?
"It will be interesting to see how the slithering snake(s) shakes this one off."-- Doh!!! pro
It will be interesting to see if there is any basis for this argument at all. Near as I can figure, Hsu is a wanted man who gave campaign contributions to Hillary. How does this implicate her for any wrongdoing?
"By the way, Billy-Boy is doing appearances to sell his latest batch of bs, why is nobody asking his opinion on the latest politician to get caught with his pants down (or wide-stance standing)?"--Doughboy
To this I will ask one simple and profound question: Huh ?

You know exactly what I mean on all counts. The Clintons have been shady and manipulative since their days in Arkansas. It doesn't take rocket science...........how can so many people be wrong? How many positive books have been written about them, and the ones they wrote themselves don't count.
And someone tell me why on earth a postal worker would give 32% of his gross income to a friggin' political candidate? No wonder he's homeless. He's an idiot!

Name one of Hillary's accomplishments that gives her enough credibility to warrant a run for the presidency. Then tell me why she should be prez. Then tell me where she stands on some key issues. Please.
