This is another article showing the double standard I brought up before. It's okay for Drudge and everyone else to question campaign donations from Chinese Americans, but it's DoubleSpeak if you raise questions about AIPAC or Project for a New American Century. To do that would be branded an anti-semite. F'n ridiculous.

I am just about as laid back as it comes about politcal correctness and racial sensitivity, but that Chop Suey line strikes me as slightly inappropriate. Is that verbatim from Drudge? Not that I care, I'll hardly campaign for it to be removed. It just stuck me.

Yes that is the headline Drudge wrote, pretty deragatory.
Anyone else see a weird double standard with Chinese Americans and Jewish Americans?

Real World

I would think that the idea behind his bringing it to light has to do with her husbands shady dealings with all things chinese, and her recent trouble with the Hsu dude. As for Chop Suey, did he have to choose that? No, but is it the end of the world, or some terrible offense that he did? No it isn't. If they were talking about Giuliani and shady little Italy dealings for similar reasons, and called it Rudy's Spaghetti Dinner or something, would people be upset? Maybe, but I wouldn't be. We need to lighted up sometimes I think.

Anyhow, the article reads like this in it's first caption:

The candidate's unparalleled fundraising success relies largely on the least-affluent residents of New York's Chinatown -- some of whom can't be tracked down.

The article later says:

The Times examined the cases of more than 150 donors who provided checks to Clinton after fundraising events geared to the Chinese community. One-third of those donors could not be found using property, telephone or business records. Most have not registered to vote, according to public records.

And several dozen were described in financial reports as holding jobs -- including dishwasher, server or chef -- that would normally make it difficult to donate amounts ranging from $500 to the legal maximum of $2,300 per election.

The donations are of concern because of the history involved with the name Clinton, and all things Chinese.

"Chop Suey Club" is derogatory..? You're reaching here... obviously a desperate attempt to equate these actions with your blatent anti-Semitism.

I think it's legitimate to look at undocumented donors, but that's not the point.
The point is that there is a blatant double standard where just because it's Chinese American money, it's immediately not trusted and seen as being the enemy; there is a level of xenophobia there that isn't the case when Jewish Americans throw millions of dollars influencing campaigns and issues and votes and policies.

I remember it got so bad during the 1990's, idiots like Quigon in authority were arresting Taiwan-Chinese Americans, they don't even know the difference, basically Americans have this weird thing against Asians but love Jewish influence.

Bizarre.

Wow... you're really crossing the line with the personal attacks, huh..? Of course, you're fortunate the liberal moderator ignores the transgressions of the left.

It just goes to show that you have no friends and allies here, your ascerbic ways leave no one willing to protect you, you deserve it.
