Dear Hildabeast;

Dear Mdme. Clinton;

Some of us might have noticed you were making some rather disparaging comments about the President's policies towards the nation of Iran. When you do that you want to make sure little embarassing things like this aren't in your campaign finance file. This is especially more embarassing as the gov'ment thanks to the pressure of folks like yourself cares again about who sends money and where it goes.

Wealthy businessmen Hassan Nemazee and Faraj Aalaei are associated with the American Iranian Council, a pro-regime anti-sanctions group. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Namazee has contributed $4,000 to Clinton's reelection while Aalaei has given $1,000.

The press describes their lobby this way "the American-Iranian Council [AIC], a pro-regime lobbying group trying to get Congress and the Bush administration to lift the trade embargo on Iran." (Insight, 3/25/04)

Hillary Clinton is also raising money from Gati Kashani, another figure linked with the Mullahs.

But a Republican challenger is indeed using this for the political hay its worth.

John Spencer, the former Yonkers Mayor and Vietnam combat veteran who will challenge Senator Clinton in November, made the following statement. "Senator Clinton voted against the very munitions necessary to avoid a nuclear confrontation with Iran while at the same time accepting money from supporters of the Iranian Mullahs. Senator Clinton lacks the credibility to keep New York safe and she should return this tainted money."

More reasons why the woman won't be running for President
