Donald Sterling made donations to Dems
Politico ^ | 4/27/2014 | BURGESS EVERETT

Posted on 04/27/2014 7:38:28 PM PDT by God luvs America

Donald Sterling was a modest donor to several Democratic politicians, long before racist remarks were attributed to the owner of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers. Sterling donated a combined of $4,000 to Democratic Sens. Bill Bradley of New Jersey and Patrick Leahy of Vermont as well as then-State Controller Gray Davis of California in the late 1980s and early 1990s, according to a database on OpenSecrets.

Are you sure about that?


Another poster stated that. I just copied it for my reply. I don’t know if she was banging Magic or not.

Your post #15.

people are so over this rabble rousing.

I am aware and even on Canadian television, I see the barely concealed satisfaction at the momentum. The incredibly destructive power of the politically correct machine is being shown.

If only the average Joe out there could realize what is going on. A man makes stupid unguarded statements in private. An offence might have been committed by recording him. Ok, so far so good. The media and others are moving in for the kill.

It is like the man has committed a crime against humanity. Just a few stupid remarks is all it really is.

Small chance though that the public will not see it for what it is. A machine that has to have a Pavlovian bell rung by some foolish person, who mouths off. It then salivates because it has found a prey. A sledge hammer to kill a fly no less.

Please excuse the rant.

Unless it's against those of the Caucasian persuasion, in which case "they had it coming."

...uh, folks, he was about to win a LIFETIME AWARD from the NAALCP.

He is MORE than a “modest” donor to DemonRATS.

And isn’t it PERFECT timing in God’s Providence to have these two events juxtaposed: Bundy’s comments and Sterling’s comments.

Both were branded RACIST...but only ONE actually fits that accusation.

One the one hand, you have Bundy talking about the behavior and family-deteriorating activities of a group and how it ought to not happen so that the children and the people can be independent and alive.

On the other hand, you have a billionaire not caring about the sexual activities—immoral or otherwise, or the social contact between his girlfriend and “them”...HE JUST DOESN’T WANT TO LOOK AT THEM.

One comes from a point of view of CONCERN. The other comes from blatant bigotry.

You can bet this is the tip of a huge iceberg.

Can you imagine (Greetings Mr. Snowden and the NSA) the leverage one has over other people, when you have access to their private phone call, letters, messages, thoughts, actions!!!!!!!!

Magic Johnson could be an awful person, I do not know.

If my girlfriend had sexual relations with Magic Johnson, I would freak out because Magic had AIDS, and his current medical status is not known to me

Sterling’s biggest mistake was not making his comments into a rap song. Blacks listen to those names and words on boom box cars all day and enjoy it.

I think the fact that Sterling was a visible contributor to several Democratic election campaigns is one resaon why the NBA owners are reluctant to force him out--it would reflect very badly on the Democratic Party in terms of public relations.

Also, we do not know if the NBA rules allow for a suspension of an owner. MLB has the "best interests of baseball" clause (originally put in due to the infamous Black Sox scandal), which was used to suspend the late Marge Schott from day-to-day operations of the Cincinnati Reds in 1993 and 1996 to 1998. If the NBA rules does include such a clause, it will be invoked and Sterling could be banned from day-to-day operations--including attending all Clippers games--for as much as two years.

He’s a Republican. Look for this to be the story from now until election day.
