RUSH: Mrs. Clinton had a conference call with reporters, and we had the story yesterday, she's actually going to try to send a note out with the money going back saying, (paraphrasing) "Feel free to send it back in." Turns out, this is illegal. Federal Election Commission rules make it illegal. I got a note from a guy who worked on John Anderson's campaign in 1980, who ran that third-party independent candidacy when Reagan and Carter were battling it out, and they had a snafu. They had to give back $80,000 in donations, and they asked the FEC, "Can we include an envelope and a note when we send the check back saying, 'You can send it back to us if you do it in a legal and right way.'?" The FEC said, "No, you can't do that."
So Mrs. Clinton is in violation of the law even suggesting she's going to do this, if she follows through with it. (Laughing.) The Clintons say, "What stinking law is that? Whose laws are you talking about?"
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Yesterday, during our excursion into broadcast excellence, we had a big story from the Wall Street Journal detailing where Norman Hsu (Hsu Xiao Ling) got his money, $40 million. Where did he get it, and how did it end up with the Clintons? We know how it ended up with the Clintons and the Democrat Party. But where he got it was from a guy named Rosenman who is now a financier on Madison Avenue in New York, and it turns out that Rosenman was one of the guys who founded, and orchestrated, and put on Woodstock in 1967 at Max Yasgur's farm. I got an e-mail yesterday afternoon after the program that said, "Do you realize that Mrs. Clinton has proposed that Congress pay or spend one million dollars to build a Woodstock museum?" You know, Mrs. Clinton is running around like she didn't know who Hsu is and she didn't know where Hsu got his money. She has no idea about this. She's totally surprised. So I read this e-mail with a lot of interest. Well, my gosh, here's a connection, if she's authorizing a million dollars spent for a Woodstock museum! So I looked it up. We did Nexis research, ladies and gentlemen, and have two stories to report to you. The first is from the Des Moines Register July 4th of this year.
"A tax-cut group Tuesday took aim at a bill sponsored by Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, questioning use of federal money for a Woodstock music festival museum, an online herbarium in New York, and a canoe-making program in Hawaii. Those projects are among more than 1,000 so-called 'earmarks' in a spending bill overseen by [Harkin] chairman of an appropriations subcommittee. ... Another earmark highlighted by Americans for Prosperity was $1 million for the Museum at Bethel Woods in New York, which according to its Web site seeks in 2008 to interpret the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Fair. The money was requested by two New York senators, Democrats Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer." Then the Jawa Report on July 17th of this year: "Hillary/Schumer want $1 Million For Hippie Museum -- How many Troops will have to go without supplies, armor or food because Hillary and Schumer want to fund a church to hippies? 'The grassroots free-market group Americans for Prosperity (AFP) today released a list of Senate earmarks slated to be included in the Fiscal Year 2008 Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations bill. The 1,016 earmarks total nearly $392 million, and include millions for questionable projects such as $1 million in tax dollars for a museum dedicated to recreating the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival..."
Now, you may be thinking, "So what, Rush?" Ladies and gentlemen, I've warned you I can't tell you how many times: Nothing that happens with the Clintons is a coincidence. So we can spend all afternoon connecting the dots, or we can suspend disbelief, and we don't have to spend all afternoon connecting the dots. Here you have this guy Rosenman who started Woodstock, who somehow gets in business with Hsu. He gives Hsu $40 million for what turns out to be a fraudulent investment scheme. He's now trying to get the money back. Hsu ends up doing whatever with the money, but some of it ends up back to Mrs. Clinton and the Democrats at large. Mrs. Clinton said, "I had no idea who Norman Hsu is! Our vetting process totally broke down. I had no clue. We're shocked and we're stunned," and blah, blah, blah, blah. But there is that $1 million earmark for a Woodstock museum. By the way, folks, remember all of the whining and the moaning and the complaining when that bridge in Minneapolis took the dumper? "We don't spend enough on infrastructure in our country! We are falling apart! We gotta get people out of Iraq!" Yet we have $1 million for a Woodstock museum, ladies and gentlemen?
(Playing of the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song "Woodstock")
RUSH: I was 18 years old when this happened. I remember it well. Nothing that happens with the Clintons is a coincidence.

"Good grief!"
HOORAY Rush!
She is bad news in everything she touches.

it had to be woodstock. of all things, woodstock is connected to a potentially damaging scandal involving liberals. too perfect.
Aside from the pleasure of Hillary’s company, what else has Hsu received from her in exchange for all his donations?
BUMP TO SAVE
“Attention. Testing one, two, three. Hey man, don’t eat the brown acid. It’s bad! I repeat the brown acid is bad, man.”
Who knows? Hsu’s involvement with the law appears to go back to the days when the clintons were getting their money from the Communist Chinese. And he’s somehow stayed out of jail ever since.
Good question.
Harkin also got a lot of Hsu money.
What are the odds on Hsu staying alive to even see a trial in Fornicalia? Dead man walking ..................... FRegards
Fun ......... draising again ...................... FRegards
Harkin’s Hsu money. http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070913/NEWS/70913025/1001/COMM08
Blogger flip pidot says IIRC that it’s actually more than the amount in this story.
Well woodstock theory is nice, but I think China is pouring campaign cash into Hillary’s coffers. President Witchbroom Hillary will just make sure the Pacfic Fleet is far away when China invades Taiwan. Old Prez Hillary wring her hands and stomp her foot and say you naughty, naughty Chinese, you shouldn’t have invade Taiwan. . . wink . . . wink
Hillary Woodstock Clinton.
I agree she will do that if she is “elected.” But at least 40 million came from the woodstock guy.

Pingaroo!
`Wake up! It's a Chelsea morning!"Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Pittsburgh, Pa.: Jul 28, 1994. pg. C.7That's what the early-morning announcements at Woodstock '94 might sound like if Chelsea Clinton takes Molly Rosenman up on her offer. Rosenman, who, like Chelsea, is 14, has asked her father, Joel Rosenman, one of the festival producers, to tell Chelsea's folks that if she wants to go to Woodstock, they ought to let her.
Joel said he'd try. "We can guarantee there would be responsible adult supervision at all times," he said. "We've already arranged that for Molly." He also said that while the musical lineup is pretty much set, he'd make room for saxophonist Bill Clinton if the president wants to jam.
A White House spokeswoman says she didn't know of any Woodstock travel plans for Chelsea or the president.
(All together, now: "NO RAIN! NO RAIN! NO RAIN! . . . ")
It looks like first daughter Chelsea Clinton is taking a pass on attending Woodstock '94. Molly Rosenman, the daughter of Woodstock producer Joel Rosenman, issued an invitation to Chelsea for the Aug. 12-14 event in New York State."Dear Chelsea," the letter reads, "If you like rock & roll, this should be great! Why don't you join my family and me at Woodstock? Best Wishes, Molly."
White House spokeswoman Dee Dee Myers said, "As far as I know, I've seen no plans to that effect." The 25th anniversary show will feature such performers as Bob Dylan and the Spin Doctors.
Which is why this new revelation is so beautiful! It may just blow Rosenman's story of being the source of Hsu's money right out of the water!
Also note my post above where Rosenman was trying to suck up to the Clinton's through his daughter and Chelsea.
Great catch!
"Rushie... I wrote that song... The museum is a wonderful idea. We need to be brought back to a time when Americans and Canadians alike can imagine bombers in the sky turning into butterflies over our nations. That's what Woodstock was all about, Rush. It wasn't just sex in the mud with several total strangers and bad acid. It had real meaning."

Max Yasgur, the dairy farmer who lent his farm for the event, is long dead, and his property is for sale for $8 million. Sens. Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer have earmarked $1 million of your money for the Museum of Bethel Woods, dedicated to "interpreting" the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival experience.
At least 176 trademarks have been granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to exploit the word Woodstock to sell clothing, shoes, coffee and other things. These trademarks are meant to appeal to aging hippies who push "peace and love" like granola and trail mix. This can seem terribly quaint to Generations X, Y and Z, whose compatriots are considerably more interested in tuning in online than tuning out on drugs.
Joel Rosenman and his daughter Molly incorporated “Woodstock Licensing LC” in the state of Wyoming in February 2006. About he same time that they entered into a deal with Hsu? “Woodstock Ventures LC” was formed in Wyoming in 1993.
Excellent find. The Chelsea connection is a bombshell since she works for a financial company (AKA a campaign money conduit-laundry).
Rush is wrong on this....Rosenman was NOT a VICTIM of HSU’s....they are in this together with the Clintons knowledge!! Rosenman is taking the fall and shielding the Clintons, but he’s NO VICTIM!
Communist Chinese will get EVERYTHING they want from the Clintons.
Thought they were going to manufacture Prad, Gucci FAKE crap in China made by SLAVE LABOR!
This is one groovy post!
I am getting the strong signal of money laundering. Giving taxpayer money to a group that gives back in the form of political contributions.
