FOX: Election Watchdogs Order Biden's 2008 Campaign to Pay $219K for Violations

[release]Election watchdogs have asked Joe Biden's 2008 presidential campaign more than $219,000 for sloppy bookkeeping and accepting excessive contributions, including a discounted flight on a private jet.
The audit was released Friday by the Federal Election Commission.
It determined that the Biden campaign accepted an illegal corporate contribution in the form of a round-trip flight between New Hampshire and Iowa in June 2007 for three people. The Biden campaign paid GEH Air Transportation $7,911 for the first-class airfare, but regulators say the campaign should have paid the charter rate of $34,800.
The FEC also found that the Biden campaign received at least $106,000 in donations that were over the limit, and the campaign was ordered to pay the U.S. Treasury more than $85,000 for stale-dated checks.
The Biden campaign also failed to disclose more than $3.7 million in payments and roughly $870,000 in debts.
The audit was conducted in part as a condition of Biden's accepting taxpayer funds for his campaign through the presidential public financing system.
Biden, who's now the vice president, campaigned for president for nearly a year before dropping out in January 2008 after a poor showing in the Iowa caucuses.
Elizabeth Alexander, a spokeswoman for Biden in the vice president's office, on Saturday said the campaign would pay the fines.
"Some repayment is commonplace after presidential campaign audits and the repayment ordered here is relatively small. Payment is due to the Treasury 30 days after the FEC issues its formal ruling and Biden for President will comply with that," she said[/release]

For anyone else who needs evidence Fox News is a shit resource, having this at the [U]end[/U] of an article is all I'll ever have to say about it. It's the dirtiest trick in journalism, and sadly alot of journalists do it.
Glaber, I don't have a problem with you posting some news stories that are critical of Obama or the democrats, but why is it that EVERYTHING you post is critical of him. Why not post anything critical of the Tea Party, the Republicans, etc? It's incredibly one sided.
Bidens such a nice guy. If I remember correctly, he was the poorest member of the senate. Took the train to and from work everyday, so he could still have dinner with his son (the rest of his family died in a pretty horrific car crash)
*sees FOX in title* ...
*sees CNN in comments* oh, there we go, a real news coverage. Thanks.

Why Not? Because I happen to side with the Tea party movement. If you want something critical of republicans, Let me dig up an article on Scott Brown.
Edit: Scratch that. the gimmick Fox News account already posted it.

It's one thing to say that you're a conservative, it's another to willingly associate yourself with a known racist organization. It's a credibility-destroyer.

Because the Tea Party is filled with idiots. Not racists, I don't care if they're racists, they're idiots who believe deregulation will saves us from a problem [b]caused mainly by deregulation[/b]. Yeah, that's fucking genius. Not only that, the Tea Party wants lower taxes, but they want to keep Medicaid, and have it work even better, but they want to get rid of government programs.
You know what? If you want to call yourself a Tea Partier, you might as well call yourself a full fledged retard because for fucks sakes, it is ENTIRELY impossible for someone to be this full of contradictions and not be retarded.

You're an idiot. You ignored a legitimate point to deal with something less important. Racism wouldn't be the biggest problem in the Tea Party, it's the other stupid shit in it.

He's executing the famous "Straw man argument"
Glaber's a coward who can't respond to things he knows that he can't beat.

How dare you come on facepunch studios with that mindset.
Everyone here knows that if you hold any sort of right-wing views at all you're a racist. (owait theres this guy called Michael Steele I forgot about him)
You disagree with Obama's policies? racist
You disagree with the health care bill? you're a racist (Harry "Dumbfuck" Reid: "If you disagree with the health care bill you would have agreed with slavery")
Not voting for the democrats later this year? YOU FUCKING RACIST

You don't like organizations that have a lot of conservative white people in them. You are edgy and cool.
Tea party is like Starbursts, solid, yet juicy like a liquid.
Why the fuck can't it just be democrats in the usa?
because there needs to be a balance. both parties can be (and mostly are) idiots.
there used to be a time where the democrats and republicans were enemies, but respected one another and created an even balance in the government.
now it's all about power and oil.

HURR DURRR STRAWMAN DERHURP
Of course the tea party movement isn't a racist organization, but the majority of its members are white, conservative southerners that are mostly racists. just look at their picket signs, the majority of them have racist slurs about Obama on them.

You're probably 12 and have no idea what you're talking about.
You're not racist for hating Obama, who said such things?
