Bill Clinton Linked to Chinese Oppression
April 13th, 2008 at 06:59pm Mark Noonan
Not at all surprising:
As Chinese authorities have clamped down on unrest in Tibet and jailed dissidents in advance of the 2008 Olympics, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has taken a strong public stance, calling for restraint in Tibet and urging President Bush to boycott the Olympics opening ceremonies in Beijing.
But her recent stern comments on China’s internal crackdown collide with former President Bill Clinton’s fundraising relationship with a Chinese Internet company accused of collaborating with the mainland government’s censorship of the Web. Last month, the firm, Alibaba Inc., carried a government-issued “most wanted” posting on its Yahoo China homepage, urging viewers to provide information on Tibetan activists suspected of stirring recent riots.
Alibaba, which took over Yahoo’s China operation in 2005 as part of a billion-dollar deal with the U.S.-based search engine, arranged for the former president to speak to a conference of Internet executives in Hangzhou in September 2005. Instead of taking his standard speaking fees, which have ranged from $100,000 to $400,000, Clinton accepted an unspecified private donation from Alibaba to his international charity, the William J. Clinton Foundation.
The former president’s charity has raised more than $500 million over the last decade and has been lauded for its roles in disaster response, AIDS prevention and Third World medical and poverty relief. But his reliance on influential foreign donors and his foundation’s refusal to release its list of donors have led to repeated questions about the sources and transparency of his fundraising…
Sorry, but there’s only one thing to say about this - the shady donations are merely a calculation by foreign interests that they may be buying influence in a future Clinton Administration. This is just the corrupt nature of the Clinton, Inc. beast - or do you think this is all new stuff? Questionable fundraising and Clinton go together like Mafia and Don. While Democrats spend their time wondering if Cheney - who has divested himself entirely from Halliburton - is working for Halliburton’s benefit, no Democrat seems to want to know if various Chinese and other foreign elements own the Clintons body and soul.
This nauseating greed for money and power on display in the actions of the Clintons, coupled with the way Democrats refuse to condemn it, illustrates the depths to which the Democratic party has fallen. As my Dad points out, the corrupt city bosses of Democratic history at least did some things for their cities - and most of them died broke; these days, senior Democrats are determined to live very well, indeed, and don’t question to closely about who is writing the checks, or what they might demand later on.

This is a surprise to anyone? Clinton and the government of China are ideological brothers.

js pointed out all the previous Clinton/China deals, which the MSM either spiked, or minimized the stories; or found Clinton defenders who would of course, blame the VRWC.
What happened throughout the Clinton WH years and those years afterward, is that the MSM never cared if the Clintons were in cahoots with the Chinese, George Soros, the Riadys, or anyone with a suspicious past or hidden agenda. The Clintons were one of them…they were part of the liberal Dem club and thus unassailable…
UNTIL…a new ‘darling’ came around. Obama became the favorite of the MSM, and so all the garbage about the Clintons which was oh so carefully obscured or ‘forgotten’, was now ‘news’. Bill’s shady business dealings were revealed. The Clintons’ multimillion dollar deals for books, speaking engagements, and other business deals were not only fodder for the MSM, but once obedient Dems like Daschle were using this wealth as ammo to pound them with, in order to save Obama from his own folly.

hermie,
Thanks for trotting out that piece of Republican Received Wisdom which is that the conventional media is wedded to the Democratic Party. It always serves to underline the disconnect that Republicans have with the real world.
Oh, I’m sorry. Yes, you’re right. The Democrats have the media in their pocket. That’s why they obsess over how much John Edwards pays for a haircut, how much cleavage Hillary Clinton shows and Barack Obama demonstrating what an elitist he is by asking for orange juice rather than coffee. It’s a measure of their sheer hatred for all things Republican that they fawn all over John McCain as he cooks them “delicious babyback ribs” and ignore his cozy relationship with special interests, his serial flip-flopping and his legendary temper. Republicans just can’t catch a break with the media. No, sir.

“Where are all the Clintonistas??”
They have become Obamaniacs!!! Real friends stick by you through thick and thin. But with liberals, they become scarce during the “thin” as seen now with Billary.

Well, they can’t appear to be too biased. Those matters are trivial - Republicans could only be so lucky with fluff coverage like that.
Diana keep with the fantasy, while we live in reality.

Ummm… Bill and Hillary are different people, and Hillary is often seen as being more liberal than Bill… This can account for the supporters of Bill who don’t support Hillary for the election, and if people on the right are too dumb to see that, then it’s their fault.
As for linking people to oppression in China… need I mention Microsoft, Google, Yahoo!, Nixon, Ford, and both Bushes?

You people sling more mud than anything I’ve ever seen. Is there any proof of any wrong-doing or do you people just like to assume there is something illegal because it is a Clinton?
This is shady why? Because he took a private donation to his charity instead of his standard speaking fee?
I’ll be right up at the front of the line saying they should release a list of donors, but for you to claim that this is a shady deal is just slinging mud (what else is new).
