** EXCERPT **
Sen. Hillary Clinton has declined to return $170,000 in campaign contributions from individuals at a company accused of widespread sexual harassment, and whose CEO is a disbarred lawyer with a criminal record, federal campaign records show.
The federal government has accused the Illinois management consulting firm, International Profit Associates, or IPA, of a brazen pattern of sexual harassment including "sexual assaults, degrading anti-female language" and "obscene suggestions."
In a 2001 lawsuit full of lurid details, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claims that 103 women employees at IPA were victimized for years. The civil case is ongoing, and IPA vigorously denies the allegations.
"This is by far, hands down, the worst case I've ever experienced," said Diane Smason, one of the EEOC lawyers handling the lawsuit. "Every woman there experienced sex harassment, they were part of a hostile work environment of sex harassment. And this occurred from the top down."
Sen. Clintons spokesman, Howard Wolfson, told NBC News in a statement that the senator decided to keep the funds because the lawsuit is "ongoing" and because none of the sexual harassment allegations has been proven in court. "With regard to the pending harassment suit, as a general matter, the campaign assesses findings of fact in deciding whether to return contributions," Wolfson said.

How will she explain this to the feminists?
I guess she figures if Obama Hussein Barrack can accept donations from a non-repentant, Weatherman bomber, then she’d be ok with this.
She'll send Bill out there to explain it. They fell for his explanations 10 years ago, no reason they won't do so again.
Sounds like her husband was running the business!

I hope she puts it to good use and makes Obama/Osama spend about 3 or 4 times as much to counter her!
The more rat dollars they spend now, the less they have for the general election.
“sexual harassment, and whose CEO is a disbarred lawyer” sounds like a normal democRAT guy to me:-()
It’s almost too much, isn’t it?!
Big deal. She still hasnt named the charity she gave Normans money to. Clintons and dirty campaign cash-a match as old as time..
You have NO idea!
Let's talk about Norman Hsu.
Who's that?
sounds like her husband.
Here is a story and picture of Abdul Rehman Jinnah, who just pled guilty in his laundering case of money to Hillary. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1978628/posts

What feminist would ask her to?
What conviction?
I always thought it was the “seriousness of the charges” with the democrat/Pelosi group... Why change now? /S
I don't understand. What's the problem? Sounds like a fun place to work. Where do I go to get sexually harrassed and get obscene suggestions? Nothing like that happens where I work and it's getting kind of boring.
Doesn’t that describe Bubba?
