Come on! How stupid do you think we are? This toe tapping perv got convicted months ago! Why do you think we are hearing about it now? Simple, because Hillary is about to go down in flames. This new fund raising scandel could break her. This guy is a wanted felon in the state of CA. A simply $25 background check uncovered that. Hillary has been taking millions of dollars from this guy for years and she never did a simple background check? Come on! Now we find out he's been funnuling money through other names as well. The question is where exactly is all this money coming from. Guess what? All roads point to China! She's going down!

If she has been getting lots of illegal contributions from this criminal, you can bet that Slick Willie was a beneficiary of his generosity too. The Arkansas Mob knows no depths in their lust for power!

You are totally dreaming if you think these issues are even vaguely linked together. Save the conspiracy theories for another time.
Larry Craig's problem just underscores the hypocrisy of many rightwing GOP politicians who love to crow about their family values and deny equal rights to gays. It will further diminish the GOP's declining fortunes in the upcoming elections, mostly in the Congressional races. Note that it is Republican politicians who are pushing him to resign his seat, because he taints them. All the Dems have to do is to watch Craig self-destruct.
Sorry, buddy, but this isn't going to get any traction in your irrational hatred of Hillary Clinton. It will last maybe a few days, and that's it. In fact, Hillary and other Democratic politicians are returning funds raised by Mr. Hsu right now. It's going to be a non-issue really soon.
Being a Chinese American, I take particular issue with your lame assumption that just because the guy has a Chinese automatically means he's connected with the Chinese government. Come on, he's a US citizen.

Funny; Most elected Republicans seem to think it will. I've heard not one Republican Presidential candidate or Congressman comment on the unusual background of ONE of Hillary's hundreds of donors. But; In just the 24 hours since the Craig scandal broke, I've hear 2 Republican presidential candidates (Romney and McCain) condemn him and a number of calls for his investigation and/or ouster from his fellow Republican colleagues on the Hill.
Apparently, Republicans think Craig's public perversion and hypocrisy is a much bigger deal. My guess is the party of Tom DeLay, Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney, Ted Stevens, Halliburton, The Swift Boaters, et al would prefer not to start throwing 'campaign finance' stones from their glass houses...

She's going down? LOL Now that's funny. Just as soon as someone comes along that can provide proof she knew he was making donations improperly and accepted them anyway then you have a case, not before. So far, that has not happened. Guess what? You're going to have to find something else to try and bring her down, this just isn't going to cut it. How stupid do I think you are? Pretty damn stupid if you really believe Craig's outing by the press is some conspiracy to protect Hillary.
EDIT: And the news today brings what? The money she received has been given to charity since Mr. Hsu is a fugitive. The same with all other Democrats that he donated to. Fini.

Good. Voting for her in the primary would only result in a Republican win.
Don't be so sure that the Craig scandal was "outed" to save her.
My bet is that the Edwards or Obama campaign found this out about her donor and turned it over to a media outlet.

Don't expect the lib media to play fair or to do more than one story on Hillary's campaign cash. In fairness, the scandal of a gay men's room is going to grab the attn of the avg person over a fundraising scandal they don't understand because they don't know the rules of fundraising in the first place.

Well, I hope it does affect Hillary's campaign.
But Craig is not a no name. He's fought long and hard against equal rights for gays and he was one of the loudest critics of Clinton's affair with Lewinsky.
It is a big deal, he's just another hypocrite, but he broke the law, however stupid that law is. Wide stance my ***.

SO WHAT? You're supporting China too. You buy food, including baby & dog food, toys, clothing, shoes, furniture, haircare, even chopsticks & a 1000 other things. 90% of the things you buy are from China, so why be such a hypocrite?

Yes. And they're right. The media loves the Clintons - and a scandal that doesn't get reported relentlessly might as well not exist.
