Clinton Accepts Donations From Firm Accused Of Widespread Sexual Harassment

MSNBC:

Sen. Hillary Clinton has declined to return $170,000 in campaign contributions from individuals at a company accused of widespread sexual harassment, and whose CEO is a disbarred lawyer with a criminal record, federal campaign records show.

The federal government has accused the Illinois management consulting firm, International Profit Associates, or IPA, of a brazen pattern of sexual harassment including "sexual assaults," "degrading anti-female language" and "obscene suggestions."

Well as far as sexual harassment goes ....look what she did to Monica...Gennifer and Paula after Bill abused them emotionaly and sexually (Monica was what 22 yr.old).........Also look at the emotional abuse she received from Bill who pointed his finger at us all telling us "I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN MS. LEWINSKI"......................She might not just might not even comprehend sexual harassment ........This type of thinking would be a disaster in the White House ...especially with Bill roaming the halls with those interns all around.

[AnninCA]

I've never gotten this attitude at all. But then, I guess that's my own Southern Belle roots showing.

Where I come from, women who go after other women's husbands are hussies. LOL*

[KaAp]

Well there Scarlett ... I just don't give a damn ...
Hussies? How about harlots, whores, oh come on you can think of them ... don't stop now babe ... How about a 22 year old who goes to work as an intern who is not old enough to know better and who is enamored when the most powerful man in the country perhaps the world uses his position and she believes him? I would say he is predatory. And, as for his wife who devised the plan to help through this young woman under the bus --- well, you know what --- what if it was your daughter or your her daughter? Would she be a hussie?
You are being malevolent ---

[Countess]

This should come as no surprise when you realize she lives with Bill Clinton.

[KaAp]

Given that her husband is a disbarred attorney (lest we forget). Given her convenient version of feminism: deployed only when it is necessary. And by necessary I mean to maintain her husband in office, to advance her own political aims (she is not nor has she ever been a champion of poor women or children -- especially since she takes credit for her husband's voting record -- which includes doing away with AFDC). Given the way she designed the plan to throw her husbands paramours' under a bus. Given the recent discussions surrounding one of her first trials accusing a 12 year old of being a seductress. Given her stances on many things and of course given the Clinton legacy including all forms of ethically questionable practices (renting the Lincoln Bedroom, Hsu, etc ... ): this would not seem out of character or something we should look aghast with horror since it would seem to be one more cynical action in a whole long line of cynical acts and actions ... Why would anybody be surprised?

[wilhelmR]

The "lovely Clinton years: Doing away with AFDC." I agree with you all the way. He left a huge surplus and hurt the poor: Unbelievable. However, the poor don't vote and nobody cares. BTW, in every country I passed by the "working people" tell me the same thing: "We don't have poor people and if they are is because they don't want to work." When I mention that I said "poor" and not "non-working" they all react the same way: Get 3 jobs......as if anybody can resist the 16+ hours of working plus the bus/subway rides without getting sick. If they get sick then they are worse than poor, they are homeless. Everybody should remember that they are just one bad event in their lives to go from wealth to homeless. Dare to try? Read the news, informed yourselves, and most of all reflect. I understand why the Republicans hated Bill Clinton: He did what they wanted to do and took credit for it like screwing the poor people while the Internet Boom was making many people rich.

Dirty money, what can I tell you!

It helps pay the bills!

[VOTER]

Due to the almost "criminal" amount of money it takes for anyone to run for political

office, it isn't a surprise when money is donated from less than good people.

However, keeping the money after knowing these facts, is CRIMINAL!

Hillary what happened to your favorite word, REJECT?

You have missed two opportunities in the past few days to use it and haven't done so.

[Kim445588]

I think we now need to reject and denounce.

[bellecloche]

Hillary goes on about Tony Rezko contributing to Obama's campaign, yet Obama donated that once Rezko was indicted. Now when it's Hillary's turn she insists on waiting for a verdict??? Just like she refused to "denounce and reject" the racist statements of her supporter Adelpha Callejo less than 24 hours after she decreed how Obama should react to Farrakkhan's support. Just like she lifted lines from a John Edwards speech at the same debate where she attacked Obama for plagiarism. VOTE CLINTON - she's the exception to every rule she makes.

[DogBitez]

This woman has no ethics, no scruples. Wonder if N.O.W. has their panties in a bunch over this? Or if they'll give Hillary a free ride. N.O.W. forever lost my support when they endorsed Clinton and copped an attitude of extreme hostility toward anyone that couldn't see how fabulous Hillary was. Puke.

[Savanarola]

THIS JUST IN: AnninCal was found alive but mute in her trailer this morning. Psyhchiatrists attribute her silence to shock regarding her heroine and taking money from guys like Bill Clinton. She left a note, however, saying that Hillary had already taken money from a sexual predator to lend it to her campaign...so what's the big deal?. , Unfortunately, a team of doctors expect AnninCal to recover in time for the general election.

[AnninCA]

*hehe.......I really do have a good life over here at times. Sorry if you guys felt abandoned!

[mamacat]

So what?
If Stalin had contributed to an anti-Stalinist organisation, would they be required to give the money back?
If Hitler had contributed to the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, would they have been expected to give the money back?
Do the people who write the articles like this one think about the logic in what they are reporting?

[Independent voter]

I get it, When your mythic heroine is caught with dirty money, you're so used to her being sleazed up that it's no big deal.

Give the money back hillary.

[Tyrione]

Let me get this straight: If your employer has a history of sexual harrassment you, by association, can't donate to a candidate you want to win?

Grow up.

[dav33]

Your right. Its the silly season in politics. This is getting so stupid. Ohio and TX need to end this thing and put the Clintons out of their misery.

[AnninCA]

If she pulls a couple of wins, you'll get to kick me around until Pennsyvania.

*woohoo!

Go Hillary!

[dthom7171]

It would be pretty interesting to see this actually makes it into the MSM. They've lately been talking about a media bias, which is pure B.S. ABC and CNN are beyond horrible. Obama has to deal with the republicans on Fox, Goerge Stephanopolis, leader of ABC politics and a strong Clinton supporter, and then there is the Clinton News Netowork which has lost all credibility. that's the most sickening thing about Clinton. Never mentioned a bias a single day before Iowa. It's amazing how every show on CNN is Pro-Hillary.From John and Kira in the Morning to Anderson at night. The Only fair people on that piece of shit network are: John King, Gergen, Jack is for Obama for sure but he's the only one. Borger is fair, slightly leans Obama, The other 200 People are pure clintonites. Lest we all forget CNN had Carville posing as an "unbiased" political analyst.

[AnninCA]

Oh no, it's not. But I do agree with you. The only thing that annoys me more than the flagrant sexism in the press and the bias is the media trying to pretend to take stock of its own foibles.

Such BS!

Want to blame someone? Murdoch. He's the real culprit.

All the major newspapers get bought up, including now the LA TIMES, and then the gutting of reporters begins.

When the blood stops flowing, you end up with a newspaper that rewrites AP articles and slaps a headline on.

TV? They've always been a bunch of nitwits with good hair and the shamelessness to scream on TV without blinking.

What's left?

[brueso]

Since she feels she has such moral authority that she's in the position to tell Obama what do do, I expect her to reject and denounce the firm.

[imsosure]

Shame on you, you've been hanging around with Bill too long.

[MoeGreen]

I don't know about this one. But I guess you get as good as you give.

[greejambri]

Screw Hillary Clinton. No, I take that back. I wouldn't screw her, not on a bet. I just want this pathetically ruthless, unethical, calculating bitch to go away and take her sex addict husband with her. God, I initially opposed her because of her right-of-center voting record. But I am really learning to DISLIKE her because of her ends-justify-the-means campaign strategy. It IS true that she will say and do ANY-FUCKIN-THING to get the nomination.

[dav33]

I am a left leaning independent. I opposed Clinton from the start because of her record. I had always planned to vote against the Republicans in November. I just hope Obama can close this thing down on Tuesday, because Clinton is making it nearly impossible for me to vote for her in November. Even though I think she will be better than McCain, I don't know if I can bring myself to vote for her after the way she has smeared Obama in every unethical way possible. I mean, her campaign has done a smear job on his church!

[AnninCA]

Interesting. I am an avid Hillary fan because of her record.

It's the war vote, right?

[2008andbeyond]

It always hurts most when one of your own turns their back on you. But then again, this is an Illinois firm and that state went overwhelmingly for Obama. So those women don't count.
