Perfect example of Liberal Double Standards/Hypocrisy.

I know you are not that stupid. You know exactly where and how they spend their money.

Big oil and gas. An industry that you worked in for years. It is well known across the fora. You serve them.

They have created a huge web of disinformation. It starts with their "think tanks". Then the money get disbursed to various right wing blogs. The same ones that you mindlessly love to quote..

I would if they were giving it to the NYT.

But this is not the case, is it?

Once again you read the headline and didn't bother reading the rest dumbass.

The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund is a charity affiliated with the newspaper that assists underprivileged New Yorkers.

Like the KochSuckers give a shit about needy people.

And you're the bell end that babbles on about "straw men".

No wonder you talk so much shit, you must be confusing the hell out of yourself.

Wisconsin Democrats might not be ready for Hillary Clinton, as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) finished just 8 percentage points behind Clinton in a new Badger State straw poll.
Clinton finished with 49 percent support among those who voted at the state party convention; Sanders finished in second place with 41 percent. Vice President Biden and former Gov. Martin O'Malley (Md.) tied at third with 3 percent. Former Sen. Jim Webb (Va.) followed with under 2 percent, and former Gov. Lincoln Chafee (R.I.) closed out the poll with 1 percent.The surprise showing is a boost for Sanders, who regularly polls about 40 percentage points behind Clinton in national poll and rarely finishes within striking distance of the former secretary of State. It's the closest he's come to toppling Clinton at the polls, outside of a 9-percentage-point margin in a Gravis Marketing poll of Washington state voters.
National Republican Party leaders have taken to Twitter to tout the results, framing them as trouble for Clinton.
Sanders's vocal support of organized labor could have helped to sway Badger State Democrats, as the issue deeply polarizes the state. Voters attempted to recall Gov. Scott Walker, himself a likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate, in 2011 over his support of a controversial law that limits the collective-bargaining powers of state employees.
The Vermont senator's campaign touted the results in a blog post on its website, quoting a story from The Nation that calls the finish "unexpected and significant."

Bill Clinton Was Paid $400K By Singapore Company That Was Scamming Its Employees



The Internet was littered with scam warnings from small-time contractors who claimed they had been ripped off by Singapore-based UNI Strategic, but that didn’t seem to bother the State Department or Bill Clinton.

The agency, headed at the time by Hillary Clinton, signed off on a Nov. 14, 2010, speech delivered by the former president on behalf of UNI at the Presidential World Economic Forum held in Taipei, Taiwan.

The payday: $400,000.

Clinton’s speech was not remarkable, but it probably didn’t have to be. He spoke about the global economy, economic inequality and global warming in front of an audience of around 2,000 — eager to hear from an American politician of Clinton’s stature.

But while UNI could afford to pay Clinton a one-percenter’s annual salary, the company was ripping off a slew of contractors it had hired to provide training in various Asian nations.

Internet message boards, scam alert websites and independent blogs show up at the top of searches for UNI, which was founded in 2002 and specializes in workshops for governmental organizations and multinational corporations on a variety of topics.

It is unclear if UNI’s dastardly deeds were as well-known in 2010, but complaints stretch back to well before Clinton’s speech, and would seemingly have been easy to discover by anyone who cared to look.

One blog, which started in April 2010, detailed UNI’s operations. The company would pay speakers and trainers around $2,500 per day to organize events, typically in Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore or Malaysia, according to the blog. While the company would take payment from its attendees, it would often refuse to pay its trainers and organizers.

“They SCAM you, then move on to SCAM another speaker or trainer for the same event or topic,” the blog alleges. Other message boards and websites level similar accusations stretching back to at least 2009.

The company’s business model seems to have changed very little.

David Einolf, who owns Oregon-based Endeavour EHS, wrote a scathing review of the company last year.

“UNI Strategic — a training firm based in Singapore with offices in Malaysia is such an unethical player,” wrote Einolf, who provided training for UNI on a hazard materials handling class.

“I’ve been promised payment on this invoice so many times, I can’t count. There’s always an excuse. But, the reality is — UNI has decided that I’m not an important trainer and there’s someone else out there who they can scam — there’s no better word for it.”

The Daily Caller contacted Einolf, who said he was finally able to get paid after months spent hounding UNI. He said others who have worked with the company have not been so lucky. One of Einolf’s friends, a motivational speaker, is owed $15,000 by the company, he said.

One U.K.-based corporate management trainer shared a similar experience. The trainer, who asked not to be named, told TheDC that it took him more than a year to receive payment for a Nov. 2013 training seminar he conducted in Thailand.

“They paid after I threatened them, wrote to the Singapore Government and exposed [them] in discussion forums online,” the trainer told TheDC.

He said that the company went to great lengths to avoid paying him and other trainers. The trainer said that all payment correspondence went through a UNI finance director — Stephan Kapoor — he later learned used a false name. The trainer also said UNI would send fake payment transfer documents to keep trainers at bay by leading them to believe they would soon receive payment.

Though the company’s seedy tactics have been known for years, several things are unknown. It is not clear whether the Clinton or the State Department were aware UNI had racked up dozens of accusations that it had bilked trainers. It is also unknown whether either entity would have declined the speech offer had they known.

Neither the State Department nor the Clinton Foundation responded to The Daily Caller’s request for comment.

It is also unclear whether UNI gave more to Clinton than just the $400,000 honorarium, which is listed in Hillary’s Clinton’s 2010 financial disclosure.

According to a BBC article ahead of Clinton’s speech, the company said it planned to donate 10 percent of the revenue from its event to the Clinton Foundation. As The Straits Times noted, UNI Strategic negotiated with the State Department and Clinton’s office for two months ahead of the event. The State Department signed off on all of Bill Clinton’s speaking engagements while Hillary served as secretary of state."

Bill Clinton Was Paid $400K By Singapore Company | The Daily Caller

These people have absolutely no shame...

I don't know why this is the breaking political news you seem to think it is.
Clinton is a private citizen and if another private company is stupid enough to pay 400,000 for him to speak why shouldn't he.

Fine, but the point is this private company was ripping-off it's own emloyees probably in order to pay for Bubba's speaking fee.

No late, breaking news here boys, just another example of the corruption that is part & parcel of this Clinton Foundation money laundering etc. endeavour.

Bernie Sanders Is Closing In on Hillary



Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist and a long shot for the White House, scored a strong second-place finish to Clinton by drawing 41 percent in a straw poll vote at the Wisconsin Democratic Party convention. Clinton won 49 percent.

The Vermont senator received 208 of 511 delegate votes at the state convention in Milwaukee on Saturday, while Clinton won votes from 252 of the delegates, leaving her just short of a majority. Both Vice President Joe Biden and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who announced his candidacy late last month, received three percent of the vote. Former Virginia Sen. Jim Webb, who is considering a bid, won two percent of the vote, while former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee, who announced his long-shot candidacy last week, received one percent.

Your time spent over on that defunked forum must have shriveled your brain to the point basic objectivity has deserted you.

The constant fake scandal claims are now falling on deaf ears. Everyone is just bored to tears with it.

Apart from squeaking zealots like Booners of course, when he's busy posting the latest bollocks off Fox News Kids.

Hmm

I would think that Clinton have someone "check" out his customers
