Democrats remind us of the definition of hypocrisy (again)

The Huffington Post writes today that after getting their collective tights in a wad and refusing to appear at a FoxNews sponsored debate, Hillary and the two dwarfs cashed checks from high-level FoxNews execs totaling $55,000. And to think, we expected principles from democrats. (Oh, these guys are democrats? Strike that.)

Hillary Clinton Shuns Fox Debates, But Pockets Murdochs’ Money

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards may not want to participate in debates sponsored by FOX News, but they like taking cash from officials of the company considered an arm of the conservative movement by many liberal Democrats.

Read the rest.

    What is more interesting to me is where these Fox execs got the 55-K. According to Federal campaign laws the maximum dollar amount that an individual U.S. citizen can donate to a Presidential candidate is about $2,100.

    That means these two Fox News execs donated a maximum of $6,300 each out of their own pockets (total of $12,600) to Hillary and the two others–and they then got the rest of the money from others.

    That’s $42,400 these Fox News collected/bundled from others. Would be interesting to know if those others are Fox News employees, (and who else) and how this is going down over at Fox News H-Q.

    Also would be interesting to know why these Fox News execs would hit up so many others to raise money for Hillary and the others, especially since these guys are news executives. What happened to media/press neutrality?

    Why am I not suprised? Clinton owned stock in the very companies she vilified so why not take money from him and then refused to debate on his network?
