Hillary sells mailing list?

WTF?
I'm a Obama supporter however I am also on Hillary's mailing list and today I find out she "rented" the mailing list to InfoUSA? There been stories of people getting the snot spammed out of them for this. I have a hard time imagining that any campain would do this bit it looks to be the case.

Last year, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton took the unusual step of renting out some of her lists. The transaction once again highlights the Clintons' connections to a businessman who now faces questions from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reports from Clinton's campaign show that on Dec. 3, it collected payment for renting out three mailing lists, the sale of which netted them $8,225.

It's stuff like this that makes me really resent Hillary and believe me if Obama did stuff like this my support for him would be in question also. I dunno how do you Hillary supports feel about this?

The fallacy of being "vetted" (none / 0)

Hillary has these kind of murky connections going back many years. These will be fully "explored" if she is the nominee.

i'd also like to know how Obama got my email address as I've never signed up for anything with him and still got contacted.

...same with DNC.

Probably through John Kerry. After he endorsed Obama, I received an email from Obama through the Kerry. Not sure if that's how it happened for you, but that's how I first got an email from Obama.

And you think Hillary is the only one doing despicable things? Different things in different ways is the mantra we should be listing too. Is there really any difference between the candidates? The only differences I see are skin color, and gender and neither qualify the three to lead.

8k. This is a joke right. IMHO i think Clinton is a racist or clinton is a bosnia lair meme is better than this one. Everyone HRC is BAD BAD BAD she let out a mailing list for $8,000.

Call the POLICE.

WTF.

This is from months ago, if there were actually more to it I'm sure it would have been uncovered.

As far as the 8k price... that's the supposed issue here actually. These lists sell/rent for hundreds of thousands, possibly millions. Not for 8k. Supposedly Hillary Clinton gave this list to the company in question (you may remember them from the series of horrible racist super bowl commercials they did this year...) as quid pro quo for it's CEO's donations huge donations to Bill Clinton's library.

Who cares? I'm one of her supporters, and I don't care.

I dunno about the rest of HRC supporters, (none / 0)

but I'm not terribly fussed about this.
