ABC stirring the "disunity" pot again
"Some Clinton Donors Are Contributing to McCain"

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Conventions/story?id=5676191&page=1

"More than 85 of Clinton's fundraisers, including Donald Trump, Univision chief executive Joseph Uva, cable mogul Charles Dolan, philanthropist Norma Hess and one of Florida's biggest lobbyists appear to be skipping Barack Obama when it comes to writing checks for the general election, according to an ABCNews.com review of campaign finance records.

These Clinton donors have contributed at least $200,000 to McCain's campaign in the last few months, an amount which doesn't include larger contributions to the Republican joint fundraising committees."

Isn't it great to have the "best government money can buy"?

7. Look at this Kos diary.
They looked up the quoted people and they were REPUBLICAN max-out contributors BEFORE they contributed anything to Hillary.

8. I understand all that
But with our POS Corporate Media Whores, you know that Mika and the Scab will be drooling all over the floor as they breathlessly pontificate about "what this means to Obama", and how he "just can't close the deal".

You know, when we kick the "effing" crap out of the repukes this November, there ought to be a "frickin'" Pitchfork and Torch March on every "effing" broadcast entity from Talk Radio, to ABC, to CNN to the "effing" History Chanel.

6. ABC needs to get a clue and catch up with everyone else.
If these particular people are giving to McCain, that's their prerogative. We don't know that they aren't donating in other ways like a location for a private fund-raiser or their time.
