Won’t you take me to Chinatown?

The Los Angeles Times digs into Hillary’s finances and uncovers more mysterious Chinatown donors with dilapidated addresses in NYC and jobs unlikely to put them in the position of maxing out campaign contributions. They include dishwashers, waiters, contributors who deny making contributions, and another who “admitted to lacking the legal-resident status required for giving campaign money.” And more:

Dishwashers, waiters and others whose jobs and dilapidated home addresses seem to make them unpromising targets for political fundraisers are pouring $1,000 and $2,000 contributions into Clinton’s campaign treasury. In April, a single fundraiser in an area long known for its gritty urban poverty yielded a whopping $380,000. When Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) ran for president in 2004, he received $24,000 from Chinatown…

…Of 74 residents of New York’s Chinatown, Flushing, the Bronx or Brooklyn that The Times called or visited, only 24 could be reached for comment.

Will Hillary accuse the Times reporters of “stalking” now?

I like the use of the adjective “ephemeral:”

Like many who traveled this path, most of the Chinese reported as contributing to Clinton’s campaign have never voted. Many speak little or no English. Some seem to lead such ephemeral lives that neighbors say they’ve never heard of them.

Predictions: Hillary will come out swinging at the Times, her Asian-American acolytes will accuse the paper of racism and ethnic bigotry, and those “ephemeral” donors will never be found.

***

Hey, I just remembered something. Remember the story I blogged this summer about Chinese-language ballots in Boston? One Chinese translation of Hillary Clinton’s name:

“Upset Stomach.”

Most fitting today, I imagine.

***

Allah dubs it “Hsu II.”

And once again, the question looms:

Where is the money coming from?

Flip Pidot takes note of the rise of the bundler and takes a close look at Hill’s 3Q refunds. Methinks more of those will be on the way.

    If the information in #86 is accurate, then shouldn’t that moot the blackmail material Hillary! may have on the other candidates? They could respond with, “Yeah? Look what the Commie sympathizer is trying to say about us Americans.”

    Obviously the MSM wants her in at any cost. But the idea that not only will none of the stuff she’s been up to derail her-like it would any of the Repubs running-but also approx 50% of the American population will actually vote for this openly corrupt POS, points to a very stupid public…

    Anyone who thinks any aspect of this latest scandal-in-waiting will have any impact on the candidacy of Ms. Clinton is . . . in error. The Clinton’s are, like you-know-who, surrounded by a bodyguard of demons and their destiny to destroy this country is not to be denied. Examples abound: consider this latest, almost coherent piece by Peggy Noonan:

    “One has to do with what it is to be a woman in the world. To be active on any level in the life of the nation is to be immersed in controversy. If you are a woman, the to and fro, the fights you’re in, will to some extent be sharpened or shaped by what used to called sexism. There isn’t a woman in America who hasn’t been patronized–or worse–for being a woman, at least to some degree, and I mean all women, from the nun patronized by the bullying bishop to the congresswoman not taken seriously by the policy intellectual to the school teacher browbeaten by the school board chairman to the fare collector corrected by the huffy businessman. It happens to every woman.

    Conservative women tend not to talk about it except to each other, and those conversations are voluble and pointed. They don’t go public with their complaints because they’re afraid it will encourage liberals to pass a law, and if you wanted more laws, or thought laws could reform human nature and make us all nice, you wouldn’t be a conservative. Their problem is sharpened by the fact that some conservative men are boorish and ungentlemanly to show how liberated they are. But I digress.

    Or rather I don’t. The point is there are many women who will on some level be inclined to view Mrs. Clinton’s candidacy through the lens of their experience as women, and there is real latent sympathy there if she could tap it, which is what she’s trying to do.”

    The point appears to be that all women will respond to Ms. Clinton both out of empathy and a desire for revenge. Cobbling this emerging women’s bloc vote with the usual ethnic grievience groups will result in something unstoppable. Lame as the piece is, Noonan may well be right.

    If 100 Gs in a freezer can’t hurt a Dem. congressman then this sure as heck isn’t going to hurt a Clinton.

    For her to be hurt by it not only would the MSM have to report on it over and over again, they would have to explain it to people and show black and white clips of Hillary while playing scary music in the background. Or put it on the front page with a huge headline saying something like “Hill’s Fundraisers Extort Money From Poor Immigrants.”

    You know, like they do every time a Republican does something wrong.

    But they won’t. For the same reason that ABC tried to give the Democrats credit for the money that Rush raised.

    She needs to held to the fire. This woman must be ‘found out’ before the primaries. The American people deserve to know how corrupt this woman is and her followers. We have many more decent people in this country than she does followers. Let’s keep it that way.

    Hillary lost all credibility not only as a politician, but as a woman, when she had no problem with her husband’s adultry. All self-respecting women should note that. As for her husband, here is his contribution: http://www.blessedcause.org/proof/Clinton%20Embracing%20Islam%20selling%20out%20children.htm

    But coming to elections, 2008, Tom Tancredo stands out as a patriotic statesman that he is. Am in the process of reading his book “In Mortal Danger”: http://www.ontheissues.org/Mortal_Danger.htm and find it quite thought-provoking.
