103. What else is Hillary telling lies about?
Good post Zenzic about Hillary's not understanding how the
internet is impacting the election and why she cannot get away
with stories such as her Bosnian spin.

If the internet had been available back when Bill ran for
office, I would never have voted for him.  I read and watched
the mainstream media propaganda and bought the stories.  

Unfortunately, there are a lot of working class Democrats that
don't use the internet for research, who don't go to web sites
such as Democratic Underground, and who do vote for Hillary
Clinton because they still believe the myth of the Clintons.  

I haven't seen much in the press lately about the release of
Hillary's tax returns or Bill's library donors.  

I found something interesting about the library donors:

No wonder the Clintons do not want to reveal the donor list
for the Clinton presidential library.  I found on line a story
by Josh Gerstein of the New York Sun from 2004 in which he
disclosed a number of the Clinton library donors.  He found
the donors on a 3rd floor computer at the Clinton Library.
 
You can go to the article at www.nysun.com/article/5152 for
the list.
 
Why isn't the mainstream media discussing this article and the
donor list?  

Donors giving $1 million or more included:
Saudi royal family
Governments of Dubai, Kuwait, Qatar, Brunei & Taiwan
Prime Minister of Lebanon
Arab businessmen Abdullah Al-Dabbagh, Nasser Al-Rashid and
Walid Juffali
Wal-Mart heiress Alice Walton
 
Donors giving $100,000 to $500,000 included:
King of Morocco, Mohammed VI
Pakistani-American businessman Farooq Bajwa
US-Islamic World Conference
 
Marc Rich's ex-wife, Denise, gave $450,000 to the Clinton
Foundation.  Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich just before
leaving office in 2000.  
 
As to secrecy of the donors list, Bill Clinton allowed
portions of the donors list to be sold thru a data company,
InfoUSA, headed by CEO Vin Gupta, who gave over $1 million. 
Gupta then "gifted" Bill Clinton 100,000 shares of
InfoUSA options.  
 
Current law treats presidential libraries like nonprofit
groups - no caps on donations, no mandatory disclosure and no
ban on donations by corporations and foreigners.  Senators
John Cornyn and Barack Obama co-sponsored a bill to require
disclosure of any donations over $200.  A similar bill passed
the house but the Obama sponsored bill stalled in Congress.
 
What exactly do these mid-east governments expect in return? 
How will these donations influence a Clinton White House?  NOW
DO YOU SEE WHY THE CLINTONS SHOULD REVEAL THE ENTIRE CLINTON
LIBRARY DONOR LIST?
