I just did some thorough research online and have come to the conclusion that
Barack Obama did not accept a dime of PAC money from the
NRA when running for president in 2008. That makes Barack Obama the NRA's candidate, and progressives beware.
That has been the
Carolyn Maloney camp's logic as applied to Obama 08.
Maloney has taken half a million dollars from the various
Wall Street PACs.
Reshma Saujani has not taken a dime from them. But that still has not prevented the Maloney campaign from working day and night to paint Reshma as the Wall Street's candidate.
That is downright dishonest. No wonder people stay so cynical of people in
Congress. When Maloney does what she does, that makes the entire Congress look bad.
That is demonization. That has racial overtones.
John Liu, the next
Mayor of NYC, was on Wall Street before he got into politics. Ends up that is a good thing. That means you are smart, you can get things done. (

The Maloney camp needs to stop the lie. They need to stop feeding the lie to the media. They need to stop feeding the lie to Chris Mathews.
