Something remarkable happened at 44 Henry St., a grimy Chinatown tenement with peeling walls. It also happened nearby at a dimly lighted apartment building with trash bins clustered by the front door.

And again not too far away, at 88 E. Broadway beneath the Manhattan bridge, where vendors chatter in Mandarin and Fujianese as they hawk rubber sandals and bargain-basement clothes.

The(_!_)Clintons are so crooked you could pick a lock with either one of them. I still want the furniture she stole from the White House and Airforce-one brought back.

This latest scandal will not make a blip on the lefty MSM and the democrat voters just come to expect a Clinton scandal to plop out every so often.. "Oh look the monarchy made a doody."

Thank-you sir, may I have another..."smmmmack"!

I for one am sick of being crapped on by The(_!_)Clintons.

If George Herbert Walker Bush could not get
reelected over the price of a pair of tube
socks, and an unwillingness to pursue Sadam
Hussein, then you might guess that the Demos
have a singular opportunity to swipe this
election from the Repos one more time, no?

How could yet another Clinton NOT defeat the
despicable record of yet another Bush?

And then again, you have...

Y'know, it doesn't even have to be 'yet
another Clinton'. The magic should work
for 'some competent Demo', because
they're still gonna be up against
'the despicable record' of GWB.

Of course, there's still plenty of time
to arrange one more 'October Surprise'
for next year.

Give me a break people please. I am not fond of Hillary or her sleazy husband being in the White House, but please do not say if she is the nominee you will vote republican or not vote at all. Stupid. Any Democratic candidate is 1,000 percent better than any of idiot the republicans have in the race. Not a perfect world, but do not make it worse by not voting Democratic or voting republican. It will take years to right the ship of state after the horrible Bush regime leaves office, but be patient and give it time (vote on straight Democratic ticket) and in a few years you will be glad you did. America will be on the right path again.

Wake up America, this is not the candidate that we want as commander in chief. If she wins the primary I will not be voting for her, neither my family.

Have you not noticed the Obama ad 100% of the time at the top of huff post. You should know this is actually Obama Post. If tomorrow LA times comes with a retraction it will never see the light of day in Obama oops Huff post.

Wouldn't it be great if just once a Clinton actually went to jail? I mean, I'm not holding my breath, they have committed rape, murder, extortion, grand larceny, election fraud galore and they still keep getting elected, let alone prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned like anyone else committing these crimes.

Vote for Obama or Edwards in primaries.

I couldn't agree more with this poster:
"DON'T VOTE FOR HILLARY IN THE PRIMARIES.
At a minimum, let's show the Corporate-controlled Democratic Party that they are at risk of losing many voters if they put Hillary up as the nominee. Not because she's a woman, but because she's a Republican. And a Bush Republican at that."

VOTE FOR OBAMA OR EDWARDS IN THE PRIMARIES!
A simple solution to the Hillary problem, folks.

Hillary is falsifying her FEC reports, period.

There is NO WAY that dishwashers and busboys getting paid under the minimum wage would give up an entire month's wages to support Hillary's candidacy.

Not enough real people are giving her money, so she started pulling names out of the phone book. End of story.

Sometimes I just cannot believe what I am reading. It's 2007, and there are still Americans who can only speak to an issue involving Chinese-Americans (specifically, immigrants from the province of Fujian) by references to their favorite Chinese foods, and other cheap shots at the Chinese laboring class in NYC. This article, which serves very little in terms of accurate newsreporting, has certainly brought out the baser instincts of some of Huffington's readers.

May I just remind the press and its readers not to so hastily jump to conclusions, especially in connecting these Fukienese workers to the Chinese government, Chinese mafia, the Chinese toy industry, or any other presently hated scapegoat.

I completely agree - I don't like people getting anti-Chinese and xenophobic about this. There are millions of Americans of Chinese descent that are just like any other American, and stereotyping them is repugnant.

However, the fact that these "donors" may not have actually donated themselves, may have been coerced, may not even exist, or are not even legal donors *is* an important issue that needs further investigation. That has nothing to do with them being Chinese, but rather to do to with a corrupt campaign and community leaders.

I am one Democrat that will NOT vote for Hillary if she is "selected" in the primaries. She will not bring change to the White House -- what she will bring is more war in Iraq (why do you think the defense contractors LOVE her?), possible war in Iran & more deceit, corruption & coverups.

Hillary (and Bill) have a history of campaign issues & scandals. In 2000 Hillary's biggest contributor, Peter Paul, was a 2 times convicted felon who is now suing Hillary & Bill for fraud. Hil's former senate race national campaign finance director/David Rosin went to trial for illegal campaign contributions, lied on FEC filings -- but Hillary (Ms Control Freak) claimed NO KNOWLEDGE. Now she's in trouble again over questional contributions. Do we all see a pattern here?

Are some of you people burying your heads in the sand?? The neocons on the main stream media just love Hillary -- doesn't that bother you? The same people that sold you NAFTA, GATT, WTO & Iraq wars I & II? How can you attack Republicans for putting Bush in office when you want to put "Hillary Bush" in the White House?

I for one think this big Hillary love-fest is the latest corporate media manipulation being pulled on us. We are being told Hillary is popular, that we want her. We are being sold a big lie thru fake polls & continual propaganda by the "media." Check out the various channels - they are all saying the same thing. Reminds me of the run up to the Iraq war. Same kind of repetitious chanting. Funny, I can't find anyone that likes her or says they would vote for her out in the public and very few on these web sites.

The $64,000 question is -- what can we do to derail the Hillary train before it's too late?

The money the chinese laundry men gave to Hillary probably was supplied by the Leaders in China to them. You can not trust Hillary.

This forcing of the poor illegal aliens to massively give to democratic party candidates is what I have come to expect from the left. They claim to be liberal but act like Nazi's.

And if they didn't give, I suppose you folks would have deported them.

The above piece is not a smear it is fact.

Smears are pieces that don't have a modicum of truth or some truth with a mixture of lies.

No lies here.
