Obama campaign accepts 'Osama bin Laden' donations.(WND).This isn't evidence that Obama supports al Qaeda. This is just more evidence that the Obama campaign is intentionally running a sloppy internet fundraising effort so that they can collect illegal contributions from overseas.
I think, though, that the limits of plausible deniability were stretched to the breaking point months ago when the campaign was first notified about the flaw in their system yet did nothing. The Romney campaign, on the other hand, uses industry standard verification for donors and therefore is much less susceptible to this sort of fraud.
I hate to link it, but I will make the rare exception in this case since I like Aaron Klein despite his affiliation with ... WND:
Using a Pakistani Internet Protocol and proxy server, a disposable credit card and a fake address, “Osama bin Laden” has successfully donated twice to Barack Obama’s presidential re-election campaign.WND has received confirmation from the credit card company that the purchase went through and the $5 was deducted from the disposable card. From the time of the first donation until today, the Obama campaign sent nine more emails to the bin Laden Gmail account soliciting more donations.
The “Bin Laden” donations, actually made by WND staff, included a listed occupation of “deceased terror chief” and a stated employer of “al-Qaida.”
“Bin Laden” is currently set up on the official campaign website to contribute more to Obama’s campaign. The name is also registered as a volunteer.
Since the “foreign” contribution was sent, “Bin Laden’s” email address has received several solicitations from Obama’s campaign asking for more donations.
One email sent Saturday reads, “Thanks so much for your donation of $5.00. Please take 10% off your next purchase of $10 or more at our online store.” Another, signed by Michelle Obama, was titled “Barack is getting outraised.” “You’re one of the campaign’s most committed supporters,” Michelle Obama writes in the automated email to “bin Laden.” “Please make a donation of $19 or whatever you can today.”The donations from a Pakistani IP address are sure to raise further questions about the measures in place to block such donations.
Cleta Mitchell, a Republican campaign finance attorney, told WND there were many documented cases of illegal foreign contributions to the Obama campaign in 2008 that were “wholly ignored by the Federal Election Commission and the Obama Department of Justice.” “I have been hearing the same stories from many sources during this campaign as well,” she said. “Every other campaign has safeguards against these illegal transactions – every campaign except the Obama campaign.” Mitchell told WND it’s “abundantly clear that the Obama campaign is raising and accepting illegal contributions – and is being protected from investigation by his politicized Department of Justice.” “It is high time that this was investigated and all illegal funds disgorged – and those responsible be prosecuted,” she asserted.Read the full story here.
