This story has some crazy twists and turns. Now Daily Kos is accusing WND of concocting it?

I know positively that I discovered the story, gave it to Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs, she ran with it (last Thursday, July 31). WND did what they do...investigated Pamela's story and came up with the interview of Monir Edwan in Gaza.

Fantastic journalism!! There is far too little of it today!

Well, it might be a bit of projection...after all, this is similar to what the lefties admitted they pulled on Ron Paul.

WND did what they do...investigated Pamela's story and came up with the interview of Monir Edwan in Gaza.

When did WND start this approach?

I applaud them for this change...it should be much better than their "hear a rumor, embellish it a bit, then publish it as news" approach to date. They occasionally provided some early-warning or heads-up on unknown stories, but the research to determine whether it was true or not was always left to the reader.

Alas, according to my quick research over at the FEC website and searchable databse, this appears to be true.

Truth hurts..don't it.

Guess the kooks haven’t figured it out yet. Their ONE does a good job of making himself look bad.

Which is ironic as Obama does not require help to look bad.

Is there anyone else here who didn't know the World Nut Daily was ultra-right-wing?

So the fact that they accepted the illegal donations, whether it was a setup or not, makes no difference?

Typical libs.

“The poor guy wouldn’t have accepted the illegal donations, if he knew they came from someone he didn’t know.”

"It could be true that [donations] were made, but as a part of a deliberate set-up to make Obama look bad.

It doesn't matter if it was a set up or not. Obama's campaign, and ultimately Obama, is responsible for accepting illegal donations, set up or no. Vetting the donations is part of the process. Giving the money back when a mistake is made is also part of the process, but apparently Obama and the boys think they can say they returned it and that is good enough!

It is amazing how much obfuscation communist are capable of.

The ultra-left-wing Daily Kos doesn’t deal in facts.

They know their audience.

I'm surprised that the DK hasn't put forward the "theory" that Jewish republicans actually had palistinian Sirhan-Sirhan assassinate Robert Kennedy to make the palis look bad...

Sen. Barack Obama's campaign has admitted to receiving $33,500 in illegal foreign contributions from three brothers in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, but the left-wing Daily Kos website suggests WND – whose Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein investigated the story – might have concocted a convoluted scheme to make the Illinois senator look bad.
