Axelrod: Chamber must prove foreign money allegations false
The Hill ^ | 10/10/10 | Walter Alarkon

Posted on 10/10/2010 10:10:48 AM PDT by Nachum

White House senior adviser David Axelrod said the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has the burden of proving false the charge by Democrats that the business group is funneling foreign money to Republican campaigns.

Axelrod was pressed by CBS’ Bob Schieffer on Sunday for evidence that the foreign campaign contributions benefiting the GOP is more than “peanuts.”

“Do you have any evidence that it’s not, Bob?” Axelrod said on “Face the Nation.” “The fact is that the Chamber has asserted that, but they won’t release any information about where their campaign money is coming from. And that’s at the core of the problem.”

Of the list of items I want investigated by a Republican congress, the number 1 item on that list is uncovering the source of Obama’s presidential campaign contributions.

I'm talkin’ special prosecutor with subpoena power and a blank check style investigation. The kind that would make a proctologist proud.

They are in BIG TROUBLE now.

How STUPID of them to do this. They must have simply cracked under the buildup toward their total, historical Democrat wipeout in 23 or so more days from now. This is April 1945 Hitlerian/Berlin Bunker-type thinking and acting.

They have now effectively opened up an investigation to DEMOCRATIC PARTY foreign contributions in 2008 to Obama's campaign by Democratic operatives overseas.

How foolish of them. They really urinated in the wind on this one, trying to open this front. It is going to back splatter in their faces, come Republican Congress and Senate and investigative capabilities.

It actually might be a godsend. They just COULD NOT KEEP THEIR BIG TRAPS SHUT!! ;-) lol

they won’t release any information about Dumplin Ear's records. And that’s at the core of the problem.

How about a little research on the Nazi collaborators (George Soros) the Council on Foreign Relations and the rest of the New World Order that funds the Demonrats? Don’t forget the voter fraud and the lies, either.

Like unauthorized credit card charges that the credit card companies chose to eat rather than investigate.

Back in the old days, there was this thing called evidence, and you had to have some before you could accuse anyone of wrong-doing.

Google.com has no pictures of Axelrod with a gerbil, but that doesn't mean there's not a gerbil in there somewhere eh.

It's up to him to prove that it's not and he can do that quite easily if he really wants to

Proving a negative is virtually impossible. That is why our Constitution protects the accused from just such activity by the state..

So let me see if I have this straight...

The US Chamber of Commerce has to prove that they’re not distributing foreign money to political compaigns. They’re guilty until they can prove innocence.

The Obama Regime does NOT have to prove that he’s eligible to be POTUS. He’s innocent, even if he’s proven guilty.

I think I get it...

NOW they’re concerned about questionable campaign donations?

Here is a wonderful place for you to begin your investigations.

Pamela Geller posted an interesting article in which she noted that foreigners were making all kinds of illegal contributions to Obama’s Presidential campaign.

Obama’s overseas (foreign) contributors are making multiple small donations, ostensibly in their own names, over a period of a few days, some under maximum donation allowances, but others are aggregating in excess of the maximums when all added up. The countries and major cities from which contributions have been received France, Virgin Islands, Planegg, Vienna, Hague, Madrid, London, AE, IR, Geneva,Tokyo, Bangkok, Turin, Paris, Munich, Madrid, Roma, Zurich, Netherlands, Moscow, Ireland, Milan, Singapore, Bejing, Switzerland, Toronto, Vancouver, La Creche, Pak Chong, Dublin, Panama, Krabi, Berlin, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Prague, Nagoya, Budapest, Barcelona, Sweden, Taipei, Hong Kong, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, Zurich, Ragusa, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Uganda, Mumbia, Nagoya, Tunis, Zacatecas, St, Croix, Mississauga, Laval, Nadi, Behchoko, Ragusa, DUBIA, Lima, Copenhagen, Quaama, Jeddah, Kabul, Cairo, Nassau(not the county on Long Island,lol), Luxembourg (Auchi’s stomping grounds), etc,etc,etc,

The Chamber is supposed to prove a negative?

Has the left gone insane? This is so crazy!

No, Axelrod, you tool, you are supposed to prove YOUR charge.

This must be from the Obama Skuul of Lawyerly Stuff.

I hear he got a “D” in procedure.

This is possibly a defensive move. Both houses of Congress are about to flip to the Republicans along with control of the various committees and their subpoena power.

The massive illegal foreign donations received by the Obama campaign in 2008 will be investigated along with the Justice Department’s dismissal of the New Black Panther party case (to name but two of what will ultimately be many investigations).

Of the $744 million Obama raised for his campaign, only $485 million is accountable.

jaw-dropping story about how tens of thousands of dollars came in to the Obama campaign from a Hamas-controlled camp in Gaza. Al-Jazeera actually ran video of Obama phone banks in Gaza. One large contributor to the Obama campaign was Monir Edwan, who was listed on FEC documents as contributing to Obama from the city of Rafah in the state “GA.” If you were reading quickly, you might have thought it was just a contribution from Georgia. But there is no city of Rafah in the Peach State. Monir Edwan sent money to Obama from Rafah, Gaza.

The worms are out of the can. Let's play:

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.

For starters...
