There's no evidence, but there could be other instances, and it could be possible to funnel a lot of money to McCain's campaign in small chunks this way.

in which clearly fictional donors gave thousands, which were then returned.

From the comments:

If Obama wins he will have 4000 Government seats to fill. Here are some of them:
Secretary of Defense: Luis Farrakhan
Secretary of Treasury: Charley Rangle
Secretary of Housing: Franklin Raines
Secretary of Religion Rev. Al Sharpton
Secretary of State: Babs & Cher
Secretary Education: P Diddy, Matt Damon
Secretary of Face lifts: Nancy Pelosi
Sec.of Gay Pride Day: Barny Frank
Secretary of Toilets: Jessie Jackson


Clearly this man has been hogging ALL of the stupid.

Also, for Secretary of Toilets, I think Obama will reach across the aisle and give it to Senator Larry Craig.

The last time I looked the RNC was not a law enforcement agency with the power to charge anyone with anything.

He probably means "accuse with attack adds".

Though Obama seems to deal with stuff like that by throwing open the books.

Is "Luis" Farrakhan like the Mexican version of Louis Farrakhan?

I have to protest this list for four reasons:
1. Secretary of Gay Pride Day should so totally be Ellen.
2. Matt Damon needs to be National Security advisor, not Education. He's good at jumping out of buildings and shooting people, he's ideal.
3. Attorney General is not listed. The obvious candidate is of course, Judge Judy.
4. Nothing for Alec Baldwin? Nothing? The man has paid his dues. He's had a comeback with the multi-Emmy-winning 30 Rock. Surely, if there's room for a Secretary of Toilets, Alec Baldwin could be Secretary of Sinks or Secretary of Mirrors.

Jesus. I guess someone doesn't know that the Republicans already elected half of Sonny & Cher to the House of Representatives.

No, no, no, Baldwin needs to be Special Deputy in Charge of Parenting and/or Cell Phone Czar.

No, but he's black and those people are good at the service jobs, because Jesus made them to serve the white people, it's in the Book of Revelations.

If they were trying to funnel fake money through, don't you think they would be changing the names on the donations?

Really? I mean, dumbest conspiracy ever?

Did subby or anyone actually RTFA?

FTFA (already quoted above but to no avail):

Plus, it also says the FEC knows all about it.

The people commenting on that article are beyond stupid.

 
flixter 2008-10-05 01:50:06 PM  
So will this investigation happen before or after they get around into looking at how McCain used the promise of using public finding during the primaries to secure loans only to not take the financing when he started winning thereby breaking the MCCAIN-Feingold Act because those loans would have never been given to him if he hadn't used the promise of Public Funds to act as colleteral for the loans?

 
Lionel Mandrake [TotalFark] 2008-10-05 01:50:45 PM  
two incidents, reported by Newsmax...were then returned...There's no evidence that this is widespread

This is going nowhere. Move on to your next act of desperation, GOP.

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2008-10-05 01:53:03 PM  
keep throwing that shiat against the wall, RNC.
Maybe eventually something will stick.
But since the wall seems made of teflon, i wouldn't count on it.

Clearly Baldwin should be Secretary of Microwave Programming and East Coast Television.

It looks like McCain is throwing everything he can at Obama and hoping something will stick. He is trying to shore up the rightwing nut vote, but by his antics I am sure he will turn off independents.

 
bartink 2008-10-05 02:45:08 PM  
I guess McCain feels dumb for trying to get the head of the FEC fired...er...resigned...or something.

hundreds of small donations from this one Austin Texas citizen. over $157,000 total. ME despots have US dollars warehoused by the billions. They want this man at any and all costs. He takes the judeo christian pressure off them to reform because, surprise, he's not judeo christian.

I like the original version better:

"And when they come to march on ya
Tell 'em to make sure they got their James Brown pass
And don't be surprised if Ali is in the White House
Reverend Ike, Secretary of the Treasury
Richard Pryor, Minister of Education
Stevie Wonder, Secretary of Fine arts
And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady
Are you out there, CC?"

You know you don't have to post angry nonsense in bold right? You can go back to the geek tab and rail on macs.


Back to the topic here's no mention of the RNC there. And everything in the article seems to say that Obama's campaign returned money from all unqualified donors or ones whom went over the limit or gave fake names. So uh? What the hell is up with this non-story? Ben Smith and the politico's "running conversations" on the election are full of fail.

Don't worry. Once the election is over, they will disappear...until the next election.
