Hillraiser Arrested in Colorado

[illinoisprogressive]

Disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu was arrested in Colorado late Thursday after a judge issued an arrest warrant when he failed to show up for a court appearance related to a felony theft conviction.

FBI agents took Hsu into custody at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, Colo., said FBI spokesman Joseph Schadler.

Hsu had been scheduled to appear in court Wednesday to turn over his passport and ask a judge to cut in half the $2 million bail he posted last week when he turned himself in after spending 15 years on the lam from a felony theft conviction.

Instead, Hsu failed to show up at the bail reduction hearing and a judge issued a new arrest warrant for him.

1. I'm an Obama fan, too, but I strongly DISLIKE the nasty tactics

you're using against your candidate's competitor.

2. Hillraiser? What connection is there between Hillary and Hsu?

Any? Verifiable? Substantiated? Recent? Meaningful? I honestly don't know the background here.

One thing I do know: All politicians have sleazebags that donate to them. All of them.

3. errr... flamebait?

some are addicted to the stuff and can't kick the habit!

4. What? Mine or the OP's? After seeing what the OP had

posted elsewhere, I'd agree it's flamebait. Someone doesn't like Hillary, it's obvious.

I just don't know anything about this Hsu story. Is someone trying to make a big deal about a connection that isn't really there?

7. The OP... deceptive advertising is their game..

sorry if my post was unclear...

5. Just so we are ALL clear on this incident................

Clinton, D-N.Y., and Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, who received a contribution from Hsu in 2004 and 2005, are donating Hsu's personal campaign contributions to charity.

6. The actual headline was "Disgraced Dem Donor......."

You are not doing Obama any good. Trust me.

8. dude this does suck

It is similar to having a bash Obama site as your avatar.

10. There are several Obama posters who severely hurt the Obama cause, the OP is one of them

They literally cite Malkin and Drudge to "prove" how horrible and evil Hillary is. Check the link in my sig to see another one of that kind of poster. It really is sickening, the level to which they stoop.

9. Oops! Too bad Hsu donated to Obama too!

Not like the facts have ever stopped you before, Illinoisprogressive.
