The Man Who Paid Off Edwards’ Mistress Is Now Fund Raising For Obama

  •  August 12, 2008

Interesting:

The Dallas Morning News over the weekend profiled Fred Baron, the chairman of Sen. John Edwards’ campaign finance committees in both his 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns.
Baron also, as you may know, has been paying significant lumps of cash to Edwards’ former mistress Rielle Hunter, and others involved in the scandal.
Baron claims Edwards knew nothing about it, and Edwards told ABC News Friday the same.
The article states that Baron is currently “raising money for nominee-to-be Barack Obama.”

Ed Morrissey responds:

Did Obama and his team know about Baron’s arrangement with Hunter, too? And if Baron knew about the affair, did he let his new boss in on the old boss’ secret, especially when Edwards vied for the second slot on the national ticket, or when Obama and Edwards appeared together?
It seems unlikely that Baron would have let Obama pick Edwards knowing that this explosive situation was ripe for exposure. If Baron told Obama about it, why didn’t Obama cut ties with Edwards before the end of July, when Edwards let himself get cornered by the National Enquirer at the hotel in the middle of the night?

Good question.

    Attorney Fred Baron, has been paying Hunter a reported $15,000 per month despite the relationship having allegedly ended in late 2006.

    The urban dictionary has an ad for Obama lapel pins on the throw under the bus page!

    I still wonder where it came from…

    though I didn’t know bus chucker was an ancillary term as well… :0

    As an asside, anybody know where this term throwing somebody under the bus came from?

    1st I heard it was when Obama threw his typically white mother or grandmother, I firget, under from Rush.

    I knew about throwing momma from the train, but I think that was different. :)

    That’s ironic, McCain’s former mistress IS his main fund raiser.

    what a lame streatch to slam obama about a fundraiser who isn’t on the payroll, in the inner circle,etc.

    with morrissey’s logic we can question if mccain was aware of the spamming and hacking done by his fundraiser. if he didn’t know, why not? hundreds of thousands of spam went to voters in and out of california. if he did know that makes him a spammer and hacker also.

    this only took about 2 minutes to find. bet i could find more embarassing stuff if i was willing to spend 15 minutes on this kind of crap.

    baron’s fundraising for obama is a non-issue just like jones fundraising for mccain. but conservatives always sink to this level.

    how will you convince me to vote for mccain if this is the kind of bs i’m suppose to base my decision on? let’s debate the issues, not garbage.

    what a lame streatch…

    What’s really lame is the usual leftie “everybody does it” bullshit to excuse their corrupt behavior.

    BTW, what a “streach”?

    If Baron told Obama about it, why didn’t Obama cut ties with Edwards before the end of July, when Edwards let himself get cornered by the National Enquirer at the hotel in the middle of the night?

    Barack Obama only throws his friends and former associates under the bus after they’ve become a PUBLIC liability or embarrassment.
