Here's more on Barack Obama's immoral and legally challenged shutdown of Chrysler/Dodge dealerships. If this is proven true - and so far it appears to be - this would make Nixon's crimes look like child's play. Just how much of this crap will American put up with?

Hope, Change & Marxism: Did Obama Target GOP Donors In Chrysler Dealer Closings? (Video)

Doug Ross looked at the possibility that the Obama Administration may have targeted GOP donors in deciding which Chrysler dealerships would have to close their doors.

Doug noted that every single dealer he checked out except one were either GOP donors or donated to Obama's rivals in the democratic primary.

UPDATE: Chrysler Dealership owner Jim Anderer was on with Neil Cavuto. Jim's dealership is being shut down. Anderer noted that the closings didn't make any sense and that many of them were profitable. Anderer says the country was shutting down his business. He couldn't understand how they were making their decision on which dealerships they were closing:

Unreal.
This is the kind of thing they do in Marxist regimes and Chicago.
Could this really be happening in America?

More... Rush Limbaugh wondered about this last week.

UPDATE: Here is the list of Chrysler dealerships that are closing and dealerships that will remain open.

Here are two websites that record political donations:
Open Secrets
Fund Race 2008
Any help is appreciated.

UPDATE 2: A blog has been set up by Joey Smith to look at the Chrysler dealerships and their owner's political donations.
Check it out-- Chrysler Dealership Campaign Donation Information

Joey has this from the first 5 pages of closings:

During the 2008 Presidential Election, they gave:

$7,150 to John McCain
$2,300 to Gov. Mitt Romney
$500 to Gov. Mike Huckabee
$1,950 to Sen. Hillary Clinton
$0 to Pres. Obama

UPDATE!!

Michelle Malkin comments on those of us who are getting carried away with this story and cautions:

There have been several interesting and informative blog posts published recently on the Chrysler dealership closure “hit list.”

Posts by Joey Smith, Doug Ross, and on Free Republic shed light on the campaign contributions of the targeted dealers — who happen to lean Republican.

Is Obama capable of such Chicagoland thug tactics? Of course he is, and I’ve pointed out many cases of it over the past two years.

But I would caution against getting carried away with “Nixon enemies list” rhetoric until a thorough vetting of the dealers on the list is done — which may take a while, but can definitely be expedited through the same kind of crowd-sourcing that has already taken place.

Fact is: Some of the GOP dealers on the list don’t deserve a whole hell of a lot of sympathy. Or my tax dollars.

Here are two examples from my own cursory review of the Republican donors listed by other bloggers:

Florida GOP Rep. Vern Buchanan is on the list. What no one has mentioned, though, is that he has a record of financial shadiness and his dealerships have been embroiled in fraud lawsuits.

Then there’s Illinois/Missouri car dealer James Auffenberg, Jr., who was recently acquitted by a Virgin Islands jury in a massive tax and wire fraud case — but still may face civil action to collect millions in alleged unpaid taxes.

It’s unpopular to say, but there are probably many dealerships on the list that deserve to be closed down.

One more point about the political correlation: It may just be that more Republican-leaning businessmen than Democrat-leaning ones gravitate toward the car dealership business to begin with, which could explain the apparent disproportionate partisan impact.

In any case, it’s too early to start painting them all as victims of a politically motivated witch hunt.

Keep digging.
