The Obama re-election campaign has accepted... and does nothing to check on the provenance of millions of dollars in other contributions, a watchdog group alleges.


Chris Walker, a British citizen who lives outside London, told The Post he was able to make two $5 donations to President Obama’s campaign this month through its Web site while a similar attempt to give Mitt Romney cash was rejected. It is illegal to knowingly solicit or accept money from foreign citizens.


But not only did Walker’s Obama donations go through, but he said he began receiving two to three e-mail solicitations a day to give more. The e-mails asked for $188 or more.


If Walker gave $188, his total contribution to Obama would be $198 — less than the $200 threshold at which campaigns have to identify the donor to the FEC.


“I have not had any e-mails asking for proof of identity,” Walker said.

Why is this not surprising in the least?
I wonder how many anti-Americans and terrorists have donated to Obama?
 
Wow, ten bucks. You got him now...:lamo You guys kill me, I would be completely wore out with an outrage a day. Yet it seems like the RW needs to have something to get worked up about every day. I have not read much about this story but I am sure it has already went viral in the wing nut blogosphere. I am sure I will see more.

It showed a hole so big a terrorist with a truck full of explosives could drive through. There's a lot of ignoramuses and idiots in the world more than willing to donate to Obama, and as the article illustrated... it's easy too!

From the article:
In September, Obama’s campaign took in more than $2 million from donors who provided no ZIP code or incomplete ZIP codes, according to data posted on the Federal Election Commission Web site.

That is funny.. considering Romney has taken money from right wing terrorists in central America..... Do you really want to go down this road?

Have you donated the maximum $199 Pete? If not... hurry up... they just might close that hole.

I dont believe in donating to political causes, as I see it as corrupting the political process. And nice dodge...

No dodge, I was just baiting you to see what drivel you would come up with next.
I would expect you to donate. You're a rabid Obamatron.

As for the soon to be dead HuffPost... and their claim... Ted Kennedy went hunting down that road. There's no there there.

During the 1994 Senate race, Ted Kennedy sent private investigators digging into these accusation, as well, and they came up with nothing. As Newsweek reported at the time:

In researching Romney’s business background, IGI has looked for information that might tie his companies to convicted arbitrageur Ivan Boesky and insider-trading scandals. IGI also fished for evidence that would link Romney’s Latin American business partners to Salvadoran death squads. They found none, but a recent Boston Globe article suggested darkly that “members of the extended families” of the investors in one of Romney’s companies had ties to “right-wing paramilitary groups.”

Dare I say, perhaps campaigns had higher standard in those days, but I’m probably romanticizing the past.

Harsanyi: Now Romney blamed for 'death squads' in El Salvador?

BUT... it does beg the question about death squads...

... if there were anything to the allegations, the Obama Administration would have to explain why it met with one of the alleged hit-squad leaders twice this year.

You purposely dodge the issue here. And you know you are flailing around to avoid the obvious truth.

This whole thing is set up so foreign entities can make the 10 dollar donation 100,000 times without being identified as being in violation of campaign funding 'laws.'

not even a nice try but thanks for thinking you are playing
 
OH, the outrage.
 
OH, the outrage.

Great comeback - outstanding, in fact.

So filled with detailed support for your prior statement.

I am inspired.

I think I know how to win an argument with you.

"YOUR MOMMA WEARS COMBAT BOOTS"

:roll:
 
These outrages you guys go on are generally not worthy of much more than laughs, scorn and ridicule from anyone that actually thinks, but if you insist.

"Walker said he used his actual street address in England but entered Arkansas as his state with the Schenectady, NY, ZIP code of 12345." So the guy lied on his donation and found a way around the computer program. OMG!
