Hey, Ben Smith, there's another similarity

Over at the Politico, Ben Smith is taking issue with John Fund bringing up the 1996 Clinton scandal involving illegal, foreign (specifically Chinese) campaign contributions to the Clinton campaign. His concern: "The only connection I can see here is his ethnic origin," pointing out that Norman Hsu, accused of giving illegal campaign funds to Hillary Clinton, is of Chinese descent.

Hey, Ben, here's something else that's a connection, although it might be hard to notice: both scandals involved the Clintons. Perhaps if the 1996 scandal shouldn't be brought up, Ben would suggest another Clinton finance scandal we should look at instead?

So is the Hsu story more sinister because Norman Hsu, the controversial donor, is Chinese-American, born in Hong Kong?

None of the Clinton's Democratic rivals have suggested that, and none of the papers covering it have even hinted at it.

But the Republican National Committee has been pushing this angle pretty hard, and apparently attempting to revive the - never proven - allegations of a Chinese "spy ring" buying its way into the 1996 Clinton campaign.

As far as I can tell, the only link here is that Hsu is Chinese American.
