Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs has been doing some very important digging into questionable donations to the Obama campaign: 

Despite dropping the groundbreaking bombshell story of “Palestinian” brothers from the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza who donated $33,000 to Obama’s campaign, no big media picked up the story. Jihadis donating to Obama from Gaza? Could there be a bigger story?  Foreign donations are illegal, but this story was all that and so much more. The “Palestinian” brothers were proud and vocal of their “love” for Obama. Their vocal support on behalf of “Palestinians” spoke volumes to Obama’s campaign.

And yet still no media.

and this:

Obama’s campaign said the Palestinian brothers in the Middle East made $33,000 in illegal donations to the campaign via the internet.

The donations came in between Sept. 20 and Dec. 6 and virtually all of the money, about $33,500, was returned by December 6. But the refunds weren’t reported to the Federal Election Commission due to a technical error, campaign officials said.

If McCain had been involved with something so dark and nefarious, taking money from Islamic jihad, his candidacy would never withstand the media blowback.

But it was the son of hope, the agent of change, the one we have been waiting for , so the media yawned.

and still more surprising is this:

Half a million dollars had been donated from overseas by unidentified people “not employed”.

Digging deeper, all sorts of very bizarre activity jumped at us. Dr and JJ continued to break it down and pull data from various sources. We found Rebecca Kurth contributed $3,137.38 to the Obama Campaign in 112 donations, including 34 separate donations recorded in one day,

How about this gibberish donor on the 30th of April in 2008.

A donor named Hbkjb, jkbkj

City: Jkbjnj Works for:  Kuman Bank (doesn’t exist)

Occupation:  Balanon Jalalan Amount:  $1,077.23

or the donor Doodad, The # of transactions = 1,044

The $ contributed = $10,780.00

This Doodad character works for FDGFDGF and occupation is DFGFDG

The more questions we answered the more questions we discovered.

Pamela nails it on the head saying that if this were McCain, his campaign would have been dead before we could even hear about all the evidence. 

It’s one thing to say the media is in the tank for Obama, it’s something altogether different that they’re turning a blind eye to some serious wrong doing.  He has connections to unrepentant terrorists (connections...they helped launch his career!), connections to shady characters like Tony Rezko, sat at the pews of Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years (but, of course, never managed to hear anything hateful) and now this. 

I think if good citizen journalists like Pamela keep digging, one of these stories will catch.  It will be enough to take Obama down...not that we need it. 

Hat tip reader Elyse for this story. 

UPDATE:  Newsmax is starting to pay attention as well. 

Record amounts of money from abroad are flowing into Barack Obama’s presidential campaign — and there is no easy way to determine if foreigners are making illegal donations.

Through June, Democrat Obama received $2.8 million in donations from foreign sources, according to federal election records obtained by The Hill newspaper.
