Bean Bends Under Greenberg Attack
Yesterday, McHenry County Blog published a press release from 8th congressional district Republican challenger Steve Greenberg to Democrat incumbent Melissa Bean.
Greenberg pointed out that it was illegal for foreign nationals to contribute to congressional (or, for that matter, presidential—remember the Chinese donations to President Bill Clinton in 1996?) campaigns. Greenberg even sent a copy of the $1,000 invitation, which was published here yesterday.
Today, Greenberg issued a press release reporting that Bean had realized the error of her ways.
She is no long holding her $1,000 fund raiser from at the home of Chicago's Serbia's Chicago Consul General Desko Nikitović.
She's moved it.
Here is the headline of the new press release:
Bean Acknowledges
Ethical Mis-step;
Moves Questionable

Since I get complaints when I post press releases, you can read the rest here at McHenry County Blog.

Mr. Skinner,
The Consul General's wife is American... What's the problem with an American hosting a fundraising event for a United States Congresswoman?
Perhaps instead of buying into your Republican comrade's tirades lock, stock and barrel you ought to do an few seconds of research first. Just a thought.
PS: Mr. Greenberg is challenging Rep. Bean for a seat in the United States House of Representatives, not the Kosovar House of Representatives.
I understand based on recent campaign tactics that the Republican Party is very clearly anti-immigrant, but Mr. Greenberg's demonizing of Serbian-Americans is clearly backfiring given the number of donations now flowing from that loyal American community to Melissa Bean's campaign.
