Did you guys see this?

[demforall]

Article on MSNBC. Can you believe what they are saying about our party?

Here's the link: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6214647/site/newsweek/



Here's a piece...

"But an uncensored copy of the Duelfer report obtained by NEWSWEEK indicates Houston oil mogul Oscar Wyatt got oil allocations from Saddam which could have earned him and Coastal Corp.—a company he founded and ran until 2000—profits of more than $22 million. Wyatt and wife Lynn are major donors to political causes: since 1989 they have given nearly $700,000 in contributions, of which more than $500,000 went to Democrats."

They are claiming that some of Kerry's campaign money came from the UN Oil-For-Food scandal! Something about some Duelfer report that the CIA had deleted.

1. Our party?

ZZzzzzzz.

[Skittles]

2. LOL

OMG, and so early too.

[annabanana]

3. just curious

Oscar Wyatt is an oil man from Houston who is a democrat, right?

[Skittles]

4. I've never heard of him

I've never heard of a Democratic Texas oilman either

[jerryster]

6. Admission

I'm embarrassed to have to ask this after 200+ posts. But in DU context, what is LOL?

[Skittles]

7. LOL = laugh out loud

don't be embarrassed - we all had to learn sometime.

ROFLMAO = rolling on the floor laughing my ass off

19. -Sigh-

There was NO attempt to conceal that time. You'd think they had a better use of their time.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

22. Sigh... These guys just aren't trying very hard any more!

Erm... Nice drive-by post! Welcome to DU!

[are_we_united_yet]

24. LOL!

Drive by post. I love it.

:)

5. Unlike the "other" party

we don't stick our heads in the sand. In other words, we were aware of the facts even before the MSNBC post. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=893453&mesg_id=893798)

Speaking of facts, who is the "They" that are claiming "some of Kerry's campaign money came from the UN Oil-For-Food scandal," as you wrote?

Myesteriously, that assertion is not in the article you cited, only in your post.

Oh, and welcome to DU.

9. There is no such place as Bloomfield Manitoba

(hint)

[Jazzgirl]

12. *sniff *sniff....

[Misunderestimator]

14. Indeed.

It IS a bit pungent in here.

[Misunderestimator]

13. LOL, Love the way you interpret "some of Kerry's campaign money"

As if it were written in the article. Where does it say Kerry's campaign? You're assuming that "Democrats" = Kerry, and that all contributions for the past FIFTEEN years (since 1989) somehow interprets to some scandal. What about the $200,000 that didn't go to Democrats?

Oh, and welcome to DU.

[ET Awful]

15. Gee, 1989. . . . that would pre-date the Oil-For-Food program wouldn't it?

Yet another load of horse plop.

[Misunderestimator]

16. I just checked fundrace and NO contributions from Oscar or Lynn Wyatt

in 2004... at all... to ANYONE. Now WHAT was your point? :eyes:

Oscar Wyatt: http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors.php?type=name&lname=Wyatt&fname=Oscar&search=Search+by+Name
Lynn Wyatt: http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors.php?type=name&lname=Wyatt&fname=Lynn&search=Search+by+Name
Anyone named Wyatt: http://www.fundrace.org/neighbors.php?type=name&lname=Wyatt&fname=&search=Search+by+Name

On edit... I just checked my own name, and all MY contributions are listed... Hmm... what a quandary.

17. Andrea Mitchell just brought this up with

Chris Matthews - she said that major Texas Oil men are involved. Chris then asked D or R - she said R with a smile.

[molly]

18. See my post below - let's guess which R oil man or men

[merh]

20. I can believe what they are saying about your party, (R)

I can't believe that you started this early trying to spread lies, are you in training to be a journalists for tv? You certainly twist the truth and avoid the facts!

[yardwork]

21. How can you be a Dem if you are from Manitoba?

Just asking.

[are_we_united_yet]

25. A

Demforall at that!

:wtf:

[TexasSissy]

23. Andrea Mitchell just said on Tweety Show that....

scandal would break soon about the UN oil-for-food fraud and that it would involve "Rs" not "Ds." An oil magnate contributing primarily to Dems? Maybe. Maybe. But that's not typical. I hope to heck not.

If it is, this may be what Rove was referring to...one of the October surprises.

But I'm gonna go with what Andrea Mitchell just said. It involves Repubs. Oil....Texas....we can put THAT together.

[KayLaw]

26. Well, that changes everything!

I'm voting for the monkey!
