MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski points out that amid the White House's attack on the Chamber of Commerce, Democrats have taken in at least $1 million from "political action committes affiliated with foreign companies."
"The big problem is that money no longer has to be disclosed and that is a huge issue. It affects Democrats as well as Republicans. But, the bottom line is that the Republicans are doing it 7-1 better than the Democrats. To that extent, the Democrats are getting clobbered," MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell said defending the tactics against the Chamber.

Shock?
The only shock is that the leftwing bootlickers even mentioned it.
If the figures are to be believed, then there is about $8 million worth of foreign money in this campaign. Literally, a drop of water in the ocean.
Do you have a link that works?
The story here is that NBC is trying to carry Dem water, and that the White House has a direct line to Mika B. to issue its talking points.
I call it inoculation. You mention it ONCE - it gives you street cred - then you go back to bashing the Republicans and ignoring Democrat criminalities.
Andrea's wearing out her kneepads.
If they “follow the money” ... they should wind up on MY doorstep. My point is, the individual contribution to a particular candidate is what is throwing the figures out of skew. The Tea Party movement will make this happen. I’ll be darned if I’ll give a PENNY to the RNC ... because that Penny could go to Lindsey Graham. So I send my money to Jim DeMint. I think that is the BULK of this “undisclosed donor” money coming in. They don’t dare point out it is the PEOPLE who are sending in the money, they are still looking for foreigners. But alas, let them “miss” on this one too. They will never understand why they are getting clobbered because they continue to think this is a potentially socialist country ... and they will discover too late this country is something uniquely different.
Plus there is precident. klintoon took big piles of cash from the chinese communists and no one of any importance was indicted. So the dims figure, what the hell, if we can get away with it, we will go ahead and take the cash.
Now if a non dim did this, he would be under the jail.
nice.
Thanks to policy decisions on the part of the Obama administration and laws passed by the Democrats in Congress, Mr Link and many of his coworkers were laid off from their jobs. They were last seen drowning their sorrows in a bar with all of the other dumb SOBs who bought the HopeNChange BS from 2008.
LOL... The Dems are so pathetic.
After accusing the Chamber... They get caught with their hands in the cookie jar too. Then say, “But we didn’t steal as many cookies!”
They look like the fools they are.
Bingo!
I wish RCP had extended the clip to include here question.
Her tone indicated she wasn’t buying the White House excuse.
MS-DNC highlighted this? How is the part of their “Lean Forward” and shill for Obama marketing strategy?
“Lean Forward and spell run”.
(in Joe Biden fashion)
One word,,, George Soros.
I saw it. Any pretense of White House orders ‘live’ on the air to their ‘news’ operatives is gone. The MSM is a direct arm of the Obama Campaign and should be subjected to campaign laws.
Mika got a live on the air order from Obama telling her what to say. Amazing.
Right, I find that irritating too. She was obviously going to respond in a negative manner to the White House email, why didn’t RCP extend the excerpt?
