Allegations that the casino magnate approved of prostitution at his China properties fuel campaign

<snip>

"Jewish Democrats called on Mitt Romney and Republicans not to accept money from Sheldon Adelson because of allegations that the casino magnate approved of prostitution at his China properties.

“This week, reports surfaced that in addition to his anti-union and allegedly corrupt business practices, Adelson ‘personally approved’ of prostitution in his Macau casinos,” David Harris, the president of the National Jewish Democratic Council, wrote in an appeal to NJDC supporters to sign on to a petition making the call. “Given these reports, Romney and the rest of the Republican Party must cease accepting Adelson’s tainted money immediately.”

"Adelson and his wife, Miriam, have given tens of millions of dollars this year to political committees supporting Republicans in general and Romney, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, in particular, although it is not clear if he has directly given to Romney.

He is also a major funder of the Republican Jewish Coalition.

Adelson has clashed repeatedly with unions at his Las Vegas properties. Earlier this year it was reported that federal authorities are investigating allegations that he bribed Chinese officials to advance his interests there."

1. GOOD.

I WISH we could kick that fool's a**, remove him from the 'tribe.' He's a serious embarrassment.

2. No chance.

Romney wants the White House and Adelson wants his war with Iran. No one is giving back anything.

And being upset about prostitution is also a joke. Every government on the planet is full of whores.

3. Romney? Give back cash?

Yeeeah, there's three words for that; fat fucking chance. We're talking about a guy worth half a billion dollars who tried to rip off a guy buying a horse for five grand, here. That money is gone.

Also... Uh... why is this in I/P?

5. Same reason this was posted in IP too?

6. Wow... That's just...

People actually offered to pay Pamela Gellar to speak somewhere? Good fucking GOD, and I thought Adelson was wasting good money on scumbags.

I agree, that's not an I/P issue... Except, perhaps, where the fuck WOULD it fit? General? Political? I/P is the closest to a "What the fuck?!" forum we have, I guess.

4. Perhaps this should of been posted in the Jewish group?

What has this got to do with IP ?

7. Get Money Out of Politics

The whole thing is out of control - it's a much bigger issue than just Adelson and almost no one is talking about it anymore (and it used to be a fundamental part of the Obama campaign - reforming campaign finance!).

8. A quick question...

I wonder if Sheldon has donated to the Koch brothers fund to support Mitt because he feels that Obama has not supported Israel like his choice Gingrich would have, or if he is just a dick that hates the middle class. I just want to let the Jewish people know that I do not judge you by Sheldon and his frightening looking wife. Please don't judge us gentiles by Donald Trump!
