Illegal Obama donors: Middle Eastern Arabs

Gazan brothers' illicit contributions listed in government campaign filings

JERUSALEM – Palestinian brothers inside the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip are listed in government election filings as having donated $29,521.54 to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign.

Donations of this nature would violate election laws, including prohibitions on receiving contributions from foreigners and guidelines against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election, Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission, told WND in response to a query.

The contributions also raise numerous questions about the Obama campaign's lax online donation form, which apparently allows for the possibility of foreign contributions.

Last week, the Atlas Shrugs blog outlined a series of donations in 2007 made to Obama's campaign from two individuals, Monir Edwan and Hosam Edwan, totaling $29,521.54.

And clinton had his chinese “friends”. It didn’t seem to disturb the press then, either.

[chaos_5]

I'm sure Hussein will return the donations promptly... now that he's caught.

Any other sources reporting this?

WND sometimes over reacts.

The folks at the New Yorker must be thrilled every time they hear of “the cartoon” being posted here. And to raise money to boot!

It would be no surprise to find out that EVERY enemy of America was funneling money to Obama through many channels to “clean it” -— it is in the interest of our enemies that he be elected for obvious reasons, a list of which would be too long to list.

This should be a major story. There is other evidence that Obama's campaign is accepting illegal foreign donations, e.g., the claim by Mohamar Qaddafi that

All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa . . . may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency.

It only counts if Republicans do it.

[Don Corleone]

There is absolutely nothing good to say about this character. B.Hussein O. is a total Chicago style left wing politico.

[scooby321]

ops there goes the jewish vote and money.

[rawhide]

Is there any way for an investigator to verify if the Obama donations are really legit? What records are the candidates required to maintain. I know that have to report to the FEC if the donation is over a certain dollar amount, but somebody really smart could make sure all the donations do not exceed that amount. Could the donations then be kept a secret to where nobody could ever find out they were illegal?

[ricks_place]

The FEC allows anyone to make a report, at least until Nancy Pelosi shuts it down.

Where is the FEC???? Or are they all still held-over Clinton stooges?

[Candor7]

Disturb them?

They jumped for joy then and do so now with Obama

Because guess where all that money is spent? TV Ads, publication hard copy ads.

Foreign money keeps the NYT afloat, and many other MSM rags

And they exercise their 1st amendment rights to assure that the foreign money keeps flowing, they do not exercise theose rights to secure a more perfect Union.

The press has become therefore, one of the greatest threats our nation has ever known.

People need to pay less attention to them.

[bajabaja]

I hope that Florida’s large Jewish population gets it. This may explain part of the slippage the Lightworker has seen in Florida and elsewhere. His base is as anti-Israeli (pro-Palestinian Hamas) as one can get. Doubt me? Check out the blogs associated with his website. YIKES.

[ThermoNuclearWarrior]

You would think that most Americans would realize that Obama is not fit to be president based solely on the type of people who are supporting him.

Getting wild out there, folks. Just heard on Fox that 3 shots were fired at Democratic headquarters in Ark.
