Do you know this guy?


Double standards is the point to the "SO"!!!

When 85% or 1,160 of the Senior executives, on-air personalities, producers, reporters, editors, writers and other self-identifying employees of ABC, CBS and NBC contributed more than $1 million to Democrats candidates and campaign committees in 2008, according to an analysis by The Examiner of data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.

Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters | The Daily Caller

Or when the "MSM job is to Bash the President"...
Evan Thomas Editor of NewsWeek's quotes Well, our job is to bash the president, that's what we do." --
Evan Thomas responding to a question on whether the media's unfair to Bush on the TV talk show Inside Washington,
February 2, 2007.Newsweek's Evan Thomas: 'Our Job Is To Bash the President' | NewsBusters

MSM Job to Bash the President..."
But what about Obama ... any bashing here???

COLOR="Blue"]I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God." [/COLOR]
Evan Thomas on Hardball, Newsweek?s Evan Thomas: Obama Is ?Sort of God? | NewsBusters

Again.. where is the "balanced" journalistic professionalism???
MISSING when it comes to Hillary/Blue dresses/etc.etc.etc...

Trying to have an intelligent conversation with RW is like talking to a dead frog. He has his head so far up obama's ass that he cannot think clearly.
 
Wing nuts have a way of making shit up.......looks like this is one of those cases

Nothing in the OP is made up. If you think it is, prove it or STFU.

This is just another example of corrupt democrats and the hypocrisy of mental midgets like you who continue to condone the theft as long as its done by dems.

Those who are not just making shit up tend to post links from credible sources

Until such time, the only reasonable response is.....

So
 

Is corruption acceptable when done by democrats?

Woud you say "so" if one of the Bush girls married a Koch brothers son?

There can be NO corruption, racism, dishonesty, lying......if you happen to be talking about someone on the left.
As we now know from the Obama Media Corp, only non-Liberals can be racist, dishonest and corrupt.
..this coming from a racist, bigoted, dishonest person....(according to the lying left that is)

and, this person clearly displays the lack of even seeing the difference between the Koch brothers and this guy, but that certainly doesn't come as a surprise, it is to be expected due to what I said above.
 
When Innuendo is all you got you aint got much

Is the following innuendo?

"In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 counts of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud.

Ed Mezvinsky embezzled more than $10 million dollars from people via both a Ponzi scheme and the notorious Nigerian e-mail scams.

He was found guilty and sentenced to 80 months in federal prison.

After serving less than five years in federal prison, he was released in April 2008 and remains on federal probation.

To this day, he still owes $9.4 million in restitution to his victims."

Why did you post this in 'politics' instead of 'history'.

as i said, sippenhaft.

smear smear smear.
 
Redfish, you are absolutely right.

Right that this is absolutely a matter of great concern.

Absolutely right that it matters.

Absolutely right that there is a double standard in our media.

Absolutely right that if something similar happened among GOP'ers or Tea Partiers it would doom that candidate and not only that, but it would paint ALL Conservatives with the brush of corruption or being soft on, or even cozy with, corruption.

This is bullshit.

Iowa ex-congressman to leave prison
News correspondent
Published: April 9, 2008
WASHINGTON -- Edward Mezvinsky, who was an Iowa congressman in the 1970s, is scheduled to be released from prison Saturday after serving five years for bilking strangers, friends and family out of more than $10 million in get-rich-quick-schemes that sealed his ruin. Mezvinsky, 71, pleaded guilty to 31 counts of fraud -- bank, mail, wire -- and other offenses involving financing bogus oil development and other trade deals in Africa.
Mezvinsky entered prison on Feb. 10, 2003, claiming he was an honest broker who committed the offenses because of financial difficulties but also because of mental illness and harmful medication.
The government said he was a master con man who swindled willing business associates, friends and even his mother-in-law in elaborate pyramid schemes.
Mezvinsky did not respond to requests for an interview before his release from a halfway house detention center in Pittsburgh, and his plans were unknown.
His wife, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, 65, who served in the U.S. House after an award-winning career in television, lives in Philadelphia, where the couple's life crashed. She, too, was silent.
Mezvinsky shaved his sentence of 80 months to just more than five years, serving the last six months in a halfway house day-release program.
Mezvinsky is from Ames, born Jan. 17, 1937, and was on a trajectory for the stars in a career of athletics, government service and civic leadership.
Mezvinsky, a proud populist Democrat and former aide to Iowa Rep. Neal Smith, served four years in the Iowa House, then was elected to the U.S. House in 1972. He soon was thrust into the national spotlight in the Watergate scandal where, as a member of the House Judiciary Committee, he voted for the articles of impeachment that drove President Nixon from office.
His tenure and glory were brief. Republican Jim Leach of Davenport narrowly lost to Mezvinsky in 1974 and defeated him in 1976.
Mezvinsky moved to Philadelphia to start a new life as a businessman and philanthropist with political ambitions, along with his second wife -- Emmy Award-winning television broadcaster Majorie Margolies.
Mezvinsky sought a comeback in his adopted state but lost campaigns for the House and later attorney general in 1988. He served under President Carter at the United Nations, promoting human rights.
Mezvinsky and his wife were a popular couple, known for their entertainment, generosity and large family, including adopted children. She left NBC to win election to the U.S. House in 1992, but it was another ill-fated political journey for the family.
Margolies-Mezvinsky cast the deciding vote in the House for President Clinton's controversial tax plan after first declaring her opposition. She was ousted from office in 1994. She now teaches government at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and works separately in a program focusing on women's issues.
Ed Mezvinsky's efforts as an investor and broker of foreign trade deals involving commodities and minerals were as unsuccessful as his second political career. He promised fantastic returns on other people's money on what turned out to be too-good-to-be-true ventures. He used the banking and mail system to transfer and hide millions of dollars to finance business deals that were failures or bogus.
Federal investigators ferreted it all out by 2000 and later secured his plea of guilty. The trial judge rejected a plea of mental illness resulting from bipolar disorder and the effect of a prescription drug for malaria.

I thought you claimed you made no 'innuendos'. OOPS
 
Of course, liberal scum are ok with another liberal that stole millions from other Americans and got out of prison because of his political connections.
 
Oh...if Hillary gets the Democrap nominee for POTUS....the GOP better highlight their "in-laws" criminal history.

I'm guessing many Americans will have a problem with it, especially people that have lost money in scams or had to serve a long prison sentence for their own crime.....
 
"To this day, he still owes $9.4 million in restitution to his victims."

how much of that was used to buy Chelsea and her husband's apartment in NY?

so?

The guy stole money, Clinton looked the other way, his son married the clinton's daughter, they are all living high on stolen money.

If that kind of crap OK with you when its done by dems? Would it be OK if they were all republicans?

this is more hypocrisy from the left.

Funny that you make up this fiction but have no problem with the Bush dynasty living off the bin Laden's and with GW secreting the bin Laden's out of the country immediately after 9/11.

You have no problem with Vitter, Coburn, Santorum stole tax payer money and used it to bribe people in a sex scandal. Nope, no problem at all. You would have voted for Rick Anal Froth Santorum for president.

You live in a glass house.
 
The appearance of impropriety

The appearance of impropriety is a phrase referring to a situation which to a layperson without knowledge of the specific circumstances might seem to raise ethics questions. For instance, although a person might regularly and reliably collect money for her employer in her personal wallet and later give it to her employer, her putting it in her personal wallet may appear improper and give rise to suspicion, etc. Also, although Michael Jackson was never found guilty of sex with minors, some of his indulgences appeared improper, which resulted in a campaign against him which tormented him until the day he died. It is common business practice to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

Appearance of impropriety - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You Muslims and foreigners posting here have such corrupt societies and governments because you aren't smart enough to recognize that this is important and why it is important.

Go back to your 'mole' school and learn to become a better internet mole.
 
Ahh, the trained moveon.org monkey spreading its lies to create a diversion off topic.

Must...not...let...them...get....dirt...on...the...Clintons....blame....Buuuuuuuush.

Meanwhile, Americans need to decide just how close we will allow corruption to get to the source of elected power.

How close is too close?
