Obama Turns Blind Eye to Credit Card Donation Fraud
Newsmax ^ | October 21, 2008 | Kenneth R. Timmerman

Posted on 10/22/2008 5:53:42 AM PDT by Amityschild

What do Bart Simpson, Family Guy, Daffy Duck, King Kong, O.J. Simpson and Raela Odinga have in common?

All are celebrities; and with the exception of Odinga and O.J. Simpson, they also are fictional characters. And yet, all of them gave money earlier this month to the campaign of Barack Obama, without any apparent effort by the campaign to screen them out as suspect donors.

The Obama fundraising machine may owe its sensational success in part to a relaxation of standard online merchant security practices, which has allowed illegal donations from foreign donors and from unknown individuals using anonymous “gift” cards, industry analysts and a confidential informant tell Newsmax.

Look at it from their side; the most that will happen is that after the election and the housecleaning accounting is done, the campaign will reverse the cards and hold another fundraiser to cover any demands for actual cash reimbursement.

Every time I see a post linking to Obama’s or Biden’s latest negative, I know it will be either a conservative newspaper or a conservative blogger. Then, I search on Google, and the “MSM” has not a single story about it.

Biden’s son being indicted is one glaring example. Anybody who stills tries to tell me that the “MSM” is not biased immediately goes on my “idiot” list.

Sorry for the rant that isn’t really related to your thread. I just had to get this off of my chest.

These people will try to get away with whatever they can.

Without a true and objective media organ, they are and will continue to get away with whatever they can. A hypothetical example - I truly believe that Obama could be caught, on tape, talking about illegal contributions from extremist Muslim groups, and the end result would be the "MSM" would not report it at all.

Here's the kickjer - if anyone protested the use of anonymous gift cards, it would be called an attempt to prevent those with bad credit who cannot get a charge card in their own name.

As BH0 himself said, we don't know what we're up against.

Clearly, the 0 fundraising machine wasn’t designed and financed by your usual party hacks and small donors. This thing was designed from the groundup by very, very deep pocketed financiers to launder huge amounts of money from most likely large foreign donors who desire to dramatically reshape the world. If they can do this for roughly $700 mil in pocket change (for these guys) it will yield the best return on investment in history.

Money laundering is the only thing that makes sense. Although these banks did get vaults of clean money, passed out by our very own Congress and President. So we tax payers are probably the ones who will pay these 'credit card' charges.

I agree with you. Let's, however, give some credit to the McCain campaign. They have been able to get some of the issues in the open by using the NYTs. They also use FNC, but in a straight forward manner. The MSM is a coverup machine.

It is not these people who are at fault, but the change in American Culture that is. Obama has amply shown us who he is. If he gets in so be it.

I understand your point and generally agree with it. However, I refuse to put the blame on the American Culture. Yes, it has degenerated. But to blame the culture is to, in a way, give up. There are culprits that are causing problems and they need to be flushed out and put in prison. Clean up the individuals that need it, and the culture will start to move in the proper direction.

You've got the cart before the horse. Culture drives what these guys can get away with. THEY have been degrading the culture for generations now. We are entering a new era now: The Clash of Cultures. Believe me this involves the OPPOSITE of giving up on our part. I honestly believe that McC is going to win, but if not, so be it.

“Unless he consolidates power.”

Which he will do from the gate. The only power the people would have in the face of an Obama administration comes through the 2nd amendment, whence ALL rights come.

I understand that culture drives what these guys can get away with. That is a good observation. Sadly, with an "enabling" culture, you end up in a downward spiral, which you are adeptly pointing out.

On a technical side, a culture is nothing more than the sum of the behaviours of its individuals. To change the culture,you need to change the behaviour of individuals. In some cases, that means applying the existing law. In other cases, it means writing new laws. Nonetheless, this disagreement we might be having is secondary. We both acknowledge that this is a class of cultures and that now is the time to step up our attack.

Thanks for replying and explaining yourself. I greatly appreciate your view -- and it will help me in future discussions with moderates!

Oh I know, but I will love to imply it. I wouldn’t do that for my husbands sake, he knows his parents are so totally wrong on this, but they are his parents.

“We both acknowledge that this is a class of cultures and that now is the time to step up our attack.”

“Know thy enemy” Your efforts against the left are traditional in nature and would be effective against Hubert Humphrey or Geo. McGovern. Against despise-rs of America and the rule of Law you will be used or ignored as possible until they go too far. The great thing about these people is that they WILL go too far. All you have to do is live your life and wait until that signal moment comes-—then, suddenly you will have a million angry brothers. The moment, should Obama win, will arrive BEFORE the passing of two years from the moment of his taking the oath. (Indeed he may not get much farther than the first few Executive orders before the shite hits the fan). In any event I don't see him lasting four years as Carter did. It isn't 1976 anymore, and indeed, Obama is far angrier, more ignorant and arrogant than ‘Jimmah’.

For the record, I'll be a bit surprised if McCain loses.

I can't argue with this point. I also place a lot of emphasis on know the person you are having a discussion with. The person literally has no clue on the evil-ness of the far left. The people I have discussions with can be persuaded back. Personally, I would much prefer to win back America by winning a few hearts and minds in the election.

Like you I believe that McCain will win as Mr. Welfare, Mr. Foot in Mouth and the CoverUp Media continue to make tactical errors in spreading their lies.

“I would much prefer to win back America by winning a few hearts and minds in the election.”

Oh, I get you. As a matter of fact I was, today, wondering what percentage of people who are voting for Obama might be waving pitchforks and calling for his head whithin that two year window I cited: 25%? 30%? It’s scary that so many can actually be so duped.

I am not sure that the phoney cc “donations” had silly names attached to them.

I think the following::
Student/Nobama supporter works at a restaurant, etc. You eat there-pay your bill by handing over a cc- waiter/waitress disappears into the cash register area with your cc- they are processing your dinner purchase, but they are also—writing down all the info on your card, including the 3 number special number on the reverse.
Then they get off work and go to the Nobama campaign location and process a $2300 “donation” to Nobama.
The credit card statement takes between 3 days or 6 weeks to arrive, depending on when their statement cycles. You are unaware of this phoney charge and attenpted fraud until you open your statement.
The bank must reverse the charge, since you were scammed.

I want to know how much of Nobama’s $150 million raised in September was created by the phoney $2300 charges to credit cards that never should have happened?????
