DUer Questions Integrity of Blog Founder Skinner Over Clinton Payments
NewsBusters ^ | April 3, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 04/03/2016 10:05:00 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

The Democratic Underground website is currently in an uproar. The overwhelming majority of them,  Bernie Sanders supporters, are in stark opposition to the very few on that site who favor Hillary Clinton. Among the few Hillary supporters is the founder of that blog, Skinner aka David Allen, who as we have seen before is an over the top fanboy of Clinton. However, what most folks at DU probably don't yet know is that Skinner has a big financial connection to the Hillary Clinton campaign via his wife, Shelly Moskwa, who served as a Clinton campaign treasurer during her 2008 presidential campaign and is still receiving payments from the current Hillary campaign. Federal Election Commission documents as well as Open Secrets available on the web reveal those payments are substantial yet Skinner, in the interest of full disclosure, has never mentioned this to his fellow DUers and none have challenged him on this point...until recently. 

The one DUer brave enough to mention the unmentionable at DU goes by the screen name of "dreamnightwind." He (or she) first brought up the topic that Skinner carefully avoids back on December 19 last year:

If Jorge Ramos can reveal that his daughter works for the Hillary campaign, why can't Skinner let his fellow DUmmies know that his wife is receiving sizable payments of Clinton Cash in the interest of FULL DISCLOSURE?

Since these Clinton payments to Skinner via his wife were first revealed at the DUmmie FUnnies, this should be of interest to almost everyone on the DUFU PING list.

Meanwhile Daily Kos MarKos is urging Bernie to drop out SOON. Makes me suspicious on this as well.

Hey hey, you made the big time!

“There is other info out there on his wife’s relationship to Clinton, I won’t post it here because it is on vile RW sites.”

“The “vile RW sites” dreamnightwind referred to is most likely the DUmmie FUnnies which has been cataloging the Clinton payments to Skinners wife since April of last year. Dreamnightwind returned with the accusation just last week with this post on March 30:”

This ought to be fun to watch...

Dems thrive on corruption like this. Without it they wouldn’t have a party.

Dear FBI Agents Monitoring Conservative Website Comments:

If Shelly Moskwa was the Treasurer of Hillary’s failed 2008 Presidential Campaign, has the FBI taken her statement and required her to produce documents about how (or if) ownership of Hillary’s infamous “private server” was transferred from the campaign to Hillary? What was the make, model, and serial number? Did the Clinton’s “buy” the server? Someone else? How much did they pay and when? Payments made by the campaign to Bryan Pagliano: how much, when, what for. If the campaign did not “sell” the server to Clinton, was it gifted to her? If so, did the campaign file a 1099-MISC to treat the gift as taxable income to the Clintons? Did the Clinton’s pay taxes on their gain? Did the Clinton’s receive other valuable goods and services from the campaign without paying for them? Did they declare all related “income” and pay taxes on it?

Just curious...

I posted, “Bernie backers need to out every dirty financial donor and scheme connected Clintoon, if they expect him to have a chance.”

“USN Bandit posted, “Whoa, that would be a lot of work.”

True if any of Bernie’s backers actually worked. Most of them are using free wifi at Starbucks and other coffee food outlets and not working.

If they set up a taskforce of Bernie Free Loaders, they could probably do this task in a week or less with a lot of coffee and potty breaks.

The riots and tantrums thrown by the left when Bernie does not get the nomination will be the story for the election cycle after the primary.

Trump will be able to jab that hornets nest with a stick all day long.

If the media thinks that Trump has “angry and hurtful” rhetoric, wait until these hippies meet the brass knuckles of a union thug at a Clinton rally. If chalking TRUMP on a sidewalk made the hippies cry, they are going to feel some real pain.

The MSM will do it’s best to cover these stories up, creating the narrative of Hillary the great uniter, but the internet is where the news is at now, and cell phones are everywhere. Only grannies, those at the health club on a bike machine and those stuck in airports watch the MSM.

I wonder why they’re still “underground’ as they’ve been mainstream for the past 7 years since Obama was elected.

Also why aren’t they 100% behind a Republican candidate as one winning would make them somewhat relevant again? With Obama in office nobody has cared what they think. Same with the liberal MSM and leftist comedians. What good is it having a President you can’t take to task or ridicule in public. A Republican in office would bring back their glory days of Bush hating.

DU's leader is part of the Democrat Establishment? That's bad. Have they found out if he's being paid under the table by George Soros?

We're blessed Jim Robinson has NEVER cozied up with the GOPe...thank you Jim.

On the darker side, the GOPe is screwing conservatives over as bad as the Democrat Establishment is screwing over Bernie's Supporters. For that they have my sympathy... even if they are liberals.

Strange election....

Democrats are always very undemocratic. One has to tow the party line, and not doing so generally attracts negative consequences.
