Yonkers, NY – Senator Clinton has accused President Bush of downplaying the threat from Iran while accepting money from supporters of the Iranian regime.
Wealthy businessmen Hassan Nemazee and Faraj Aalaei are associated with the American Iranian Council, a pro-regime anti-sanctions group. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Namazee has contributed $4,000 to Clinton's reelection while Aalaei has given $1,000.
The press describes their lobby this way "the American-Iranian Council [AIC], a pro-regime lobbying group trying to get Congress and the Bush administration to lift the trade embargo on Iran." (Insight, 3/25/04)
Hillary Clinton is also raising money from Gati Kashani, another figure linked with the Mullahs.
On its website, the Iranian American PAC noted, "On Friday June 3rd, Iranian American friends of the Hillary Clinton Senate re-election campaign hosted a fundraising event in honor of Senator Clinton. The event took place at the home of Gita and Behzad Kashani in Los Altos Hills, California."
The PAC favors looser Visa rule for Iranians coming to the United States. The FBI opposes liberalized visas for the terrorist state. But in full pander mode, the PAC reported Clinton attacked United States Visa policy. "Senator Clinton went on to address the audience on topics specifically relevant to the Iranian American community. She discussed immigration and acknowledged the difficulties Iranian nationals have in obtaining visas to visit family members residing in America. 'Our visa policy is not only unfair but it's not good for America.'"
John Spencer, the former Yonkers Mayor and Vietnam combat veteran who will challenge Senator Clinton in November, made the following statement. "Senator Clinton voted against the very munitions necessary to avoid a nuclear confrontation with Iran while at the same time accepting money from supporters of the Iranian Mullahs. Senator Clinton lacks the credibility to keep New York safe and she should return this tainted money."
Mayor John Spencer, 59, served as Mayor of the City of Yonkers from 1996 until 2004. Yonkers is the fourth largest city in New York and saw great prosperity, redevelopment and environmental cleanup under the leadership of Mayor Spencer. To learn more please visit www.joinspencer.com
so the witch's hands are dirty....
I'm not surprised.
I like this Spencer, he fights!
OUCH!
Hope it leaves a mark!
Good find!
WTG! Mr. Spencer, another nail in Hellary's political coffin.
Sounds like Hillary is a prominent figure in the "Culture of Corruption"
dirty money
Heh heh! He knows how to hit her and hit her hard!
Not mentioned, but a Republican. Check out his site. Looks good.
Better get some ice on that.
He's a great candidate for Senate. He's a real Republican. He's been slapping Hillary right and left non stop.
What's astonishing is that much of her NY base could care less. Even the ones who lost loved ones on 911.
That's because this is not going into the NY Media outlets. This was a press release from him. He's got to get this information to the media - Fox News would be a good place to start and the NY Post.
The brightest woman in the world. Buddhist monks are lining up outside her office as we type......
I like Spencer -- he doesn't back down! Enjoy reading what he has to say! :)
Last time the witch ran she took money from the American Muslim Council and identified it 'mistakenly' as the America Museum Council.....till she got caught!
She's a dirtbag.
Smartest woman in the room. Feh. A pox on her. Seriously. A really big one. Right where her nose is. Red and oozing.
