“...you basically are parroting a Democrat line/lie.”

“Again you spoke like a DemocratMarxistSocialist”

“And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.” - RR

San Francisco Fed president Janet Yellen:

“Certainly some market-determined income differences are needed to create incentives to work, invest, and take risks. However, there are signs that rising inequality is intensifying resistance to globalization, impairing social cohesion, and could, ultimately, undermine American democracy.” Speech to the Center for the Study of Democracy, November 6, 2006

Greenspan also chimed upon this as well.

Criticize poor public education or the overpaid Unions, mass illegal immigration...whatever. The fact is rapid changes are being made on a global scale effecting Americans.

Clinton has a Band aide?

[ConservativeMind]

The WSJ does it again!

[Madame Dufarge]

Mr. Band runs interference for the female grifter, too.

"Follieri spoke to Doug about how he could use his Catholic Church relationships/authorization to help Hillary in her presidential bid," said Mr. Clinton's spokesman, Mr. Carson, in an email. "Similar to Doug's reactions to many of Follieri's other ideas, Doug was polite, may have appeared responsive, but did not pursue it." Mr. Follieri's offer, he added, "had no impact or relation to Doug introducing Raffaello to others."

One person in the Follieri camp says the request for campaign help came from the Clinton side. The Burkle lawsuit closed off those discussions, this person says.

I thought I said that. It is happening. They are taking a poor country like Mexico making it richer and a rich country like ours and making it poorer to balance us out. To make us all the same. That does not mean American citizens will benefit. The elites will. That’s why the Clintons who had nothing are getting richer.

Like I said the man who invented the computer ought to be shot. He has made the world smaller. The powers that be do have some sort of plan; however they can’t actually say what is going to happen because even they do not know. But we are going on a ride. It’s like all those for example save the whale groups. That’s not their purpose anymore. They are agencies now to put money back into the political system. You rarely ever hear of anyone shouting save the whales. That’s because they don’t really. Look at PETA killing all of those animals.

Catholic Ping?

“He raised large sums for his library and his foundation and snagged nearly $10 billion in commitments through the Clinton Global Initiative.”

Including at least $30K from Norman Hsu to CGI.

I never watch Matthews. What did he say? Maybe Gore supporters are supplying Chrissy with info?

"One person in the Follieri camp says the request for campaign help came from the Clinton side. The Burkle lawsuit closed off those discussions, this person says."

It's certainly illegal to receive campaign donations from a foreign source..... is it also illegal to SOLICIT donations even if no donation is actually made? If the perps insist that the "help" requested was to be only in the form of non-monetary influence and pressure on others, could that still be construed legally as soliciting foreign interference in a US campaign and/or something of monetary value since the end result would be donations by a 3rd party American to the Shrillery campaign??

This all may be too much of a reach, does anyone here know campaign law well enough to say whether there might be something here worth pursuing?

And even if it's not illegal, shouldn't it be regarded as highly UNETHICAL, the solicitation of a non-US citizen to bring to bear influence on others to help a US political campaign????
