Obama’s 2008 Campaign Paid a $370,000 Fine; Nobody Cared

RUSH: You know, I found a bunch of stories about Obama campaign violations. For example, here’s Maggie Haberman story from the archives. It’s from The Politico in 2008. Obama 2008 campaign fined $375,000. Nobody on the left cared. I mean, a $375,000 fine. Now, I wasn’t even gonna mention this because hypocrisy has been shown to be completely ineffective in shaming the left or in stopping them.

I have stories of how Eric Holder looked the other way at constant Obama campaign violations, financial violations. They just weren’t gonna hold Obama accountable to any of it. But the point is, they didn’t care. And they didn’t think anything was threatened. They didn’t think the American political system was in danger. They didn’t think that the activity was criminal. It certainly didn’t warrant being pursued. And it was the same media reporting it.

“President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for campaign reporting violations — one of the largest fees ever levied against a presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned. The fine arose from an audit of the campaign, which was published in April,” I guess it’d be 2013 is when this story ran. I got so many damn dates here. Anyway, when it ran doesn’t matter.

The point is that Maggie Haberman, now at the Times, then at The Politico, was writing about Obama’s campaign violations resulted in the biggest FEC fine ever, and nobody on the left cared about it after they reported it. And there are countless other stories like this that illustrate the hypocrisy of the left over and over and over again, and it never seems to have any kind of impact whatsoever.
