| RNC: Which is more important- that Hsu is a criminal, or that he’s Chinese?
by Arlen Parsa
Heh, okay you know that Norman Hsu story? He’s that big Clinton fundraiser who, it turns out, is a fugitive from justice. Yeah well the RNC seems to think that the more important part of the story is not that he’s escaped jailtime for several years after a fraud conviction, but rather that he’s a Chinese-American:
So is the Hsu story more sinister because Norman Hsu, the controversial donor, is Chinese-American, born in Hong Kong?
None of Clinton’s Democratic rivals have suggested that, and none of the papers covering it have even hinted at it.
But the Republican National Committee has been pushing this angle pretty hard, and apparently attempting to revive the — never proven — allegations of a Chinese “spy ring” buying its way into the 1996 Clinton campaign.
As far as I can tell, the only link here is that Hsu is Chinese-American.
This is ridiculous. Could their race-baiting be any more blatant?
