Democrats’ Biggest Money Man Has Mob Connections

As John Kerry and John Edwards arrived in Boston so did the California man who is their single biggest contributor.

He is Stephen Bing, a wealthy film producer who, with little fanfare, has managed to steer a total of more than $16 million of his money to Democratic candidates and the supposedly independent groups that support them.

Bing has repeatedly has refused to say why he is funneling millions of dollars to the Democrats. Lewis thinks it is cause for concern.

The Democratic Party officials said they knew nothing about the man who law enforcement officials tell ABC News is Bing’s friend and business partner — Dominic Montemarano, a New York Mafia figure currently in federal prison on racketeering charges.

According to The Los Angeles Times, Bing paid Montemarano’s legal fees after his most recent scrape with the law.

The largest single contributor to Kerry and the dems who has had lunch with Edwards has a friend and business partner who he pays legal fees for because he was charged and convicted of illegal activities that are mob related.

I have to agree with Lewis on this – - This is cause for concern and definitely something to keep an eye on.

    Soros is the man behind organizations – - Bing is the “single biggest contributor” – - meaning he is doing it all on his own without starting an organization and such.
