"[SEIU spokeswoman Michelle] Ringuette said she is unaware of any federal scrutiny of Stern. Ringuette rejected the notion that there was anything improper about the book deal or how the union paid its officials. She said similar unsubstantiated accusations have been floated for years by disgruntled former SEIU leaders and conservative bloggers."

How about we wait to see if there actually is an investigation going on, and if so, what the findings turn out to be before we start declaring people thieves, criminals and Communists? Or is that asking too much?

No facts allowed.

Wait! Isn't this the same FBI who intentionally and WRONGLY (I love caps...I want to commune with you!) fingered an innocent man as the Olympic Park bomber? Who killed Randy Weaver's wife in that horrible debacle?

"First it was lefty radicals having dealings with..." - Truly? It may be true, but you do not know that for a fact. Remember, innocent until proven guilty.

I have a lot of respect for law enforcement. But if a law enforcement officer accused you of serious wrong doing, I am sure you'd be screaming to high holy heaven for a liberal attorney to come and save you - guilty or not.

He's guilty just for being who he is. He's a thief that steals money from his members to make his cronies richer.
