Doug Ross looked at the possibility that the Obama Administration may have targeted GOP donors in deciding which Chrysler dealerships would have to close their doors.
Doug noted that every single dealer he checked out except one were either GOP donors or donated to Obama's rivals in the democratic primary.
UPDATE: Chrysler Dealership owner Jim Anderer was on with Neil Cavuto. Jim's dealership is being shut down. Anderer noted that the closings didn't make any sense and that many of them were profitable. Anderer says the country was shutting down his business. He couldn't understand how they were making their decision on which dealerships they were closing:
~~PING!
Not a shock at all. It is exactly what I’ve come to expect from Obama and his legion of Dems. Now, that being said, I do hope that this will help drive this freedom-guzzling, anti-American administration into the junk yard.

Interesting, but it might have more to do with the other dealership owner being a minority.
Joya; ping.
I have no idea where.
I just read the headline.
Neo-marxist, neo-fascist hope and change is shifting gears to automatic transmi$$ion. Thanks for posting, STARWISE.
Wow! Blockbuster video for sure! Corruption to the max. I did hear on Rush Limbaugh that it may have been GOP dealers he ruined since there was not a logical reason behind who got dumped. Rush was right.
If this is true . . .
More hopey-changey
MOpar-gate. Cool.
I put this in a book I’m writing, even though the evidence wasn’t available when I wrote it. Thanks a bunch.
Shock? Not at all. This is to be expected when the government runs a business.
BOOKMARK.....
Not surprising at all.
These profitable and successful dealers will be sought after by Ford and other automakers.
I know of no one who will ever buy a GM or Chrysler.
Total criminal activity by the democrat party.
Think about this, Obama was NOT an almighty, long term, powerful politician when he was running, he was only a US Sen for 4 yrs.
But he wielded power like he was as powerful as Stalin in USSR.
Now that he's in control of the Exec Branch of the US, just think how much power he has now!
I hope that Rush keeps this front and center!
If true, this is enormous.
INTREP
Pure, classic fascism.
This story has enough weight behind it to have long legs. I hope it causes tons of damage to the Obama administration.
I wondered about campaign contributions from the get-go. This is scandalous!
The Dems can do whatever they want to the car dealers because most Americans think they are beneath dirt and just a bunch of con men.
So they are getting what they deserve, is what Americans think.
This is the probably the attitude that the Dems are getting the approval ratings with, for their leader Obama the liberal socialist.
There’s another Deep Throat out there wondering when he should come forward and with whom he should speak. Let’s hope that there are still journalists out there who care about the truth and have the moral courage to investigate this corruption and expose the Obama administation.

Obama’s riding dirty.
There is definately a pattern setting up. Go back and review Maxine Waters comments on minority dealerships.
The 32 minority dealerships that closed would be an interesting investigation.
Just two...
Kenneth Zangara (Zangara Dodge, Inc./Car Dealer), (Zip code: 87111) $400 to REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE OF NEW MEXICO on 09/18/07
The news on this dealership was; its credit was shut down and Chrysler would not let him stay open.
This dealership was consistently the largest dealership in New Mexico. And it is strange that in a 2008 press release, Ken Zangara was listed as one of the dealers participating in the testimony on Capitol Hill.
More details on Ken Zangara are found here
For more almost two decades, Ken Zangara was a good soldier for Chrysler. For many years he was the largest Dodge dealer in New Mexico, and he served a term as chairman of the Dodge National Dealer Council. The Albuquerque Dodge dealer was active in Republican Party politics, too, and knew President George W. Bush. Zangara used his connections in Congress to get Chrysler LLC and its dealers an audience with the White House when the embattled company sought a federal loan late last year. At an exclusive Jan. 18 White House farewell party for Bush, Zangara, 56, spoke with the man for whom he had raised so much campaign money. Zangara recalls ...
Take note of how Maxine Waters is concerned about the smaller dealerships being bought up by the bigger ones. The gist of her argument was on saving minority owned dealerships.
In the news you will find the minority owned Burt Dodge dealership being closed.
The owner, Lloyd Chavez was listed as the owner of the United States largest minority owned dealership.
And then you have this.
Vail-based businessman George Gillett Jr. is close to buying a big portion of the Burt Automotive empire, a source tells INDenverTimes. Burt Automotive, headed by Lloyd Chavez and his son, L.G. Chavez Jr., is the largest minority-owned automobile dealership in the nation and one of the largest Hispanic businesses in the U.S. The privately held company generated more than $2.1 billion in revenues in 2007. Gillett, whose diverse holdings include the Vista Auto Group dealership chain, is teaming up with auto dealer veteran Rod Buscher to buy dealerships from Burt, according to a source, who spoke to INDenverTimes on the condition that his name not be revealed. Buscher previously was a partner with John Elway, a former Denver Broncos quarterback, for his automobile dealerships.
The interesting part is Vail businessman Goege Gillet Jr. and who he likes to contribute to.
George Gillett (Booth Creek Management/Chairman), (Zip code: 81657) $2300 to UDALL FOR COLORADO on 03/31/07
George N. Gillett, Jr. (Booth Creek Management Corp./Chairm), (Zip code: 81657) $5000to DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE on 08/18/06
When do people say enough is enough? When it’s too late and we have lost everything? I do believe that this is OUR country, not obama’s and his thugs. Now I clearly see how coups succeed so easily. It’s happening here and nobody gives a damn.

Don’t you just love the smell of another 0 thuggie tactic burning in the air and how long before the media picks up on it?
btt
Bump!

It is going to be clear that the dealership closures were racially quotaed.
IN ADDITION, future dealer franchises will be quota based on race and political affiliation.
folks read Atlas Shrugged, the Obamacrats are looters as described in the book.
Just think of the thousands of people who will be without work and the families this will affect.
Also, there will be quite a number of foreign auto franchises just waiting to fill the holes this will leave. Honda, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Nissan, etc....so much for ‘Buy American.’
Can we get this story moving please.
BTTT.
If what seems to be emerging is true, then I don’t see why it is so blatant. This is something that can easily be noted (as it is now) and verified with statistics.
Why would this pattern be so obvious with no attempt to conceal it? Is it because the decision-makers have no fear of the public, or of prosecution? Do they feel that secure?
Disgusted ping.
OK. I have an idea. I am not sure it would work, but, we are in no worse shape if it doesn’t, or isn’t able to so here goes.
Because I know nothing about how a television station is born, this may be irrelevant so bear that in mind.
What if we as a collective group, all put a few hundred dollars in the pot. If we had a million conservatives that were willing to do this, we could end up with 200-300 million dollars. What if we then invested that into a cable news channel that reported this stuff? What if we could get a channel on comcast cable or some other that was national, or on satellite? Is that even possible to do? Are there any tv people out here that know if it is possible? I know off the bat we would have at least 1,000,000 viewers if we had that many investors. You each tell a conservative friend and then we double, and so on and so on. We then become competition to the MSM, and the truth, well, at least it would force them to report on some of it because they would lose viewership because they kept getting scooped. Could this work?
Obama is playing war and nobody is fighting back
Does not surprise me at all. But do you really expect this to get any play in the media? Heck no.
Welcome to fascism, baby. Hope you enjoy it.
In the end, the free market will still triumph. Government Motors will make crap, and no one will buy it. No matter what happens, I will never, ever buy GM or Chrysler again. Even though it will cost all of us about a trillion dollars, eventually GM and Chrysler will die.
Just look at British Motors. All we need is Sarah Palin as our Margaret Thatcher and no more Government Motors.
