1. So taking money from criminals is OK?

[Adelante]

2. Don't be silly

Nobody knew he was a criminal and other Dems took money from him as well.

[Vickers]

3. Whoa...George Bush made campaign contributions to HRC?

I did not know that.

4. Did the rest of the group.

5. Know the republicans don't but that's a different story.

6. Has Obama, Spitzer, Cuomo, Kerry, etc., returned their's yet? I haven't heard.

8. The Hillbots claim Obama has tainted money from Hsu . . .

But I haven't seen the national story confirming it, and it certainly wasn't the $850,000 that Hsu funneled to little Hill.

No other 2008 Dem presidential candidate has the stink of Hsu money on them.

It is true that Hsu gave small amounts to Dems around the country.

You need to understand that when the Clintons get caught doing something illegal, wrong or bad, they follow the Carville playbook and throw manure on everyone else. Hillary stinks of dirty money and now her Hillbots want you to believe that everybody else stinks and that stinking is not a bad thing.

Think for yourself and vote for any other Democrat.

10. Grasshopper, just because you've seen no national story does not mean none exists

..and is the dollar amount given to Clinton the bar that we will measure what is acceptable and what isn't?

7. Clinton has taken an unprecedented step in this regard

Rather than simply returning the money that he himself donated, her campaign returned the money that he collected and donated as a bundle, out of a concern that he may have gathered it through unlawful means.

Like her or not, this is a commendable effort and an effective means of pre-empting criticism of her choice of contributors.

9. So Clinton returns not only the money he donated, but all cash linked to him at all, upon finding

out that he's a criminal. Not really seeing the scandal here.

You know, there have been a lot of low-post-count people jumping in here to bash our (at the moment, at least) presumptive presidential candidate.
