What a friggen joke! Cindy McCain had $2 million in a MUTUAL FUND that invested in Dufar. She divested herself out of it as did….get ready for it….

SEN. BARACK OBAMA

From the Washington Post:

“Cindy McCain’s decision to sell the investments come after several other presidential candidates, including Democrat Barack Obama, last year chose to divest of Sudan-related stocks and mutual funds. Her investments in the mutual funds are listed on disclosure forms McCain is required to file as a senator and candidate.”

“Two of McCain campaign staff resigned for work they did on behalf of corrupt governments.”

Are Joe Wilson and Larry Johnson on Hillary’s campaign staff?

This is ridiculous. ANy AMerican that has a 401K or other investments could be doing the same thing w/out realizing it. Other presidential candidates (Edwards and Obama) were doing the same thing. It happens…what horse shi* this “drama” is…

A year ago, several presidential candidates divested themselves of Sudan-related holdings. Among them were Democrats Barack Obama and John Edwards

But of course, Jay never makes the well-they-do-it-too argument. He told us so just this week!

Headline should be modified to read, “McCain Family Money Helped Fuel Sudan’s Genocide Government In Darfur for Almost a Year Longer Than Obama, Edwards.”

This is especially weak when you read a little further down:

A year ago, several presidential candidates divested themselves of Sudan-related holdings. Among them were Democrats Barack Obama and John Edwards

Above this entry, Oliver is pronouncing he has a major boner for a Obama/Edwards ticket, but he apparently ignored this because he’s more interested in taking cheap shots at Cindy McCain.

True, but he and his friend Larry Johnson, who by the way works for the same company seeking Sudan oil, are doing their level best to associate Obama with the likes of terrorists and shady deals and are premier Hillary supporters. Making ads for her and heavily campaigning for a presidential candidate. Two of McCain campaign staff resigned for work they did on behalf of corrupt governments.

TinEar, Joe Wilson isn’t running for President of the U.S.A. (or for anything else, for that matter).

You know, it’s been out for quite a while that Joe Wilson has been knee deep in Sudan Oil and not a peep from the left, but Mutual Funds? That’s “Fuel[ing] Sudan’s Genocide Government In Darfur” Whatever.

Mutual Funds??? Are you kidding. Is that all you can come up with?
I bet the vast majority of pension funds in this country have investments in mutual funds which also invest in companies with business in the sudan. Does that make the average teacher a funder of genocide?

By your dumbass logic people who invest in GE are funding the tibetan genocide since GE has a plant in China.

Please come up with something better.
