Racist Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Has only contributed to Democrats
National Review ^ | 4/27/2014 | Tim Cavanaugh

Posted on 04/27/2014 1:39:00 AM PDT by South40

L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling, whom commentators have tried to tie to the Republican Party after his alleged racist statements, is in fact a Democrat, according to campaign contribution records.

Sterling is in hot water after TMZ released recordings purporting to be a weird psychosexual rant he directed at girlfriend V. Stiviano, accusing her of publicly associating with black people. The highly offensive comments have drawn condemnation from across the National Basketball Association as well as from many other sources; and inevitably, attempts have been made to link him to the Republican Party. These appear to be based on campaign contribution records for a different Sterling, who lives in the state of Texas. Clippers owner Donald Sterling lives in Beverly Hills, has a long history of bigoted behavior in his Los Angeles business dealings, and according to a 2011 RealGM report, was a very occasional Democratic donor in the 1990s:

This came out of tht National Review. I doubt any MSM types will even report the truth. If they do, it will probably be a 2nd page story.
I did a search on "Donald Sterling Politics" and found an article about some retired guy in Texas with the same name giving a few thousand bucks over the last 16 years or so to the Republican party. That's probably the kind of thing they'll run with.

Well if he is Lib; then no harm, no foul! Just using their rules against them. Alinsky rule # 4 - “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

Will he go on the Today show, cry and say, “I is what I is...”?
Then land another big contract deal?

In other words, he said it but he didn’t mean it.

“Many I know are also indifferent to sexual orientation. That is until they start wearing leather underwear and feather boas and are making out in front of our children.”

True dat. I’m not very enthused at ALL about ADULT, HETEROSEXUAL people making out in front of children. I don’t consider this “prudish and unreasonable”.

I love this, when people disavow the very words that were emitted from their own mouths, on record, and available for playback on the Internet, yet.

“Attributed to him”...ROTFLMAO. I’d say “spin-dry” is on at least 11. The nerve of this guy to spit on the people who make money for him.

Toast, with good reason.

Finding out an NBA owner is a D-bag is not news.

Welcome to the New America where everything is posted for all to see and judged in a frenzy by social media. Is this the America we want? People spying on one another and judgment by popular opinion? No wonder America is on the decline. Vote now to maintain our Republic and its’ constitution before all trials are by Facebook or other media.

Wonder how much he contributes to planned parenthood each year, to kill about a million black babies in their mothers’s wombs each year?

It’s like the closeted gay Republicans. Every once in while these closet racist Dems show their true colors

Odd how all the Sunday morning (moderated by ‘we are liberal elites’) have all missed the fact this guy's a democrat.

I doubt they would have missed it if he had donated to Republicans.

I assume the “new york times’ will also miss the fact that this guy represents how liberal elites feel about ALL the people they think are NOT up to snuff. And that includes conservatives - who they see as ‘hicks’ and every other ethnic group.

Liberal elites are NOT nice people... and they're all covering for this guy's politics ... what a surprise/s

Liberal elites will lie and their money will buy a 'new truth' that's usually a lie.

You know that right?

But who knows... what we know is it doesn't matter how lame his lie is because the New York Times and Washington Post will make damn well sure that liberal elites are not looked upon badly.

They cover for their own.

He meant it - but have no fear - liberal elites will circle the wagons... this will blow over...

Liberal elites in the press do NOT want the middle class to see this as 'telling'.

The press knows liberal elite's look down on EVERYONE... including conservatives, gun owners, Christians, Jews, and 'clingers' and every other ethnic group... They will cover for this man...

If he had been a Republican who had donated to Republicans he would be hounded out ... and all Republicans would be painted with the 'racist' brush. He would be tied to Bundy as a blood bother... but - he's a liberal elite and they'll 'chat' about him... then nothing.

That won't happen here...
