HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

Media are falsely equating donations to the Clinton Foundation with contributions to a Democratic political campaign. That comparison ignores that the foundation is expressly nonpartisan, and numerous Republicans and conservative media figures have supported the foundation's work.

The Clinton Foundation states that it builds "partnerships between businesses, NGOs, governments, and individuals everywhere" on "improving global health, increasing opportunity for women and girls, reducing childhood obesity and preventable diseases, creating economic opportunity and growth, or helping communities address the effects of climate change."

The foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, which means it is "absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office."

1. I am not sure some knows the difference in money going to the CGI and

Their personal accounts. Of course admitting this would not appear scandalous. I wonder how long it is going to take before someone remembers how Bill helped after the tsunami.

2. The hypocrisy on the right's part is stunning.

3. The conflation of the Foundation and the campaign

is also routinely exhibited on DU.

4. I know and it is done on purpose.

5. The media lies along with a lot of others who have an agenda.
