Abramoff

Here is a post I made to the CBS news bulliten board and it never showed up. So here it is.

Wow. Let me explain this to you insane fanatically partisan freaks. I buy groceries from Safeway. I am therefore a client of Safeway. Now if I gave you money, you would have received money from a client of Safeway. What does that mean? NOTHING! Would that implicate you if Safeway were involved in a scandal of some sort? According to FOX, maybe, but in reality no. Did Democrats get LEGAL campaign contributions from clients of Abramoff? Yes. What does that mean? NOTHING, you morons. It doesn't implicate them in any criminal activity or imply in any way involvement in any kind of abuse of power that is going on here. All those lists and numbers about Democrats who "got money from Abramoff's clients" are MEANINGLESS.

Even if they did get money directly from Abramoff, which not one Democrat did, it doesn't mean they did anything illegal. Shall we go back and see if Monica Lewinski ever kissed a Republican to make that a bi-partisan scandal? You people are ridiculous and really reaching here. Either Dems did something illegal or they didn't, and apparently the only illegal activity is on the Republican side of the isle --hense the investigations and indigtments.

One thing you wingnuts haven't mentioned is that (like many white-collar criminals now days) Abramoff is and has always been a right-wing Republican activist. He was the chairman of the College Republican National Committee, the chief contributor to Delay's K-street project, and part of the Bush Cheney transition team in 2000. He's the guy who said "It is not our job to seek peaceful coexistence with the left, our job is to remove them from power permanently." Why on Earth would he help any Democrats ever? No matter how much the ditto-head talking-point hacks want to spin it with meaningless post-hoc Kevin Beacon connections, it IS a Republican scandal. Period.

Also, the media seems to be completely ignoring the worst crime Abramoff committed. He wrote and produced the movie Red Scorpion . That alone means he should be locked in a basement somewhere and studied like Hannibal Lecter where he can't harm anyone again.
