Maureen Dowd spoof smears Obama

The smear is basically this: "It appears that some of the millions of $$$ that Obama has received from Internet fund raising efforts comes from overseas... China and the Middle East, to be exact. Why would donors in those countries contribute to an election campaign for President of USA?"

Here are the details:

ThomasMoore commented on my article "Unite for Change: Prescott, Arizona" on www.azcentral.com (The same article is also on www.barackobama.com .) and said:

It's not a secret any more, Dave, about where the millions of dollars are coming from that Obama has been receiving, so much that he went back on his promise to accept the spending limits of public campaign financing.

The millions are not from small donations of $25 to $100, as Obama has claimed. It's been traced to banks in Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries, as well as a bank in China. The many small donations come from only a few credit-card accounts.

Wealthy foreigners, including the radical Islamic Wahabi sect that supports Osama bin Ladin, are attempting to provide millions of dollars for television ads to influence the U. S. Presidential election.

Don't take my word; read NYT columnist Maureen Dowd, who's about as liberal as anyone who works for that newspaper. Click on this link:

When you check out that link, it's not to the New York Times but to ThomasMoore's blog which doesn't provide a link to an original article by Maureen Dowd and I was unable to find such an article on the NYT or elsewhere.

The operative line is "I wonder if we WILL see this article in the Arizona Republic tomorrow? (the www.azcentral.com is the Arizona Republic's website).

I've sent a report to www.azcentral.com and to Marueen Dowd but no reply.
