Did Obama receive illegal donations from Gaza residents?
Why hasn't the main stream media reported it?
One of two answers might apply:
- the media really is a liberal outlet for the Dems
- the story is not true
Any insights?

Actually the story is true, the NObama campaign admits it. But they also state that they returned all of the money.
I'm not a NObama supporter but I can't blame him on this one, the contributions were made online and the people who made them lied about who they were. When NObama's campaign discovered it they promptly returned the money.
Obama Camp Routed Out Illegal Donations from Palestinians
Glenn R. Simpson reports on the presidential race.
Obama campaign officials said a trio of Palestinian brothers in the Middle East attempted last year to make $33,000 in illegal donations to the campaign via the internet.
The brothers sought to buy “Obama for President” T-shirts in some 97 attempts, 32 of which were initially successful.
They wrongly identified themselves as American citizens, campaign officials said, and listed their address as “GA”, the abbreviation for Georgia, when in fact they live in a refugee camp in Gaza, a rump city-state between Israel and Egypt that is under the control of Hamas.
The donations came in between Sept. 20 and Dec. 6 and virtually all of the money, about $33,500, was returned by December 6. But the refunds weren’t reported to the Federal Election Commission due to a technical error, campaign officials said.
The remaining $2,500 was refunded Monday. The refunds will all be reflected shortly in an amended report. New controls to prevent such attempts are now in place, the campaign said.

Hmmm... I wonder why we don't hear about people from "terrorist hotbeds" giving to McCain??? Could it be they don't like him? Could it be that he would not be good for their "missions"?
...just a thought. 
Obama may have given back the money, but I can't get past the fact that he is like so much by people who want to destroy our country.
Maybe these bad guys aren't as stupid as you think. Maybe they want you to think they like Obama so much so people will come to the same conclusion as you did and vote for McCain. That way, they can continue hiding and planting cells all over the world while John McCain keeps us in Iraq for 100 years.

Or maybe the Almighty Obama will disarm the US and pronounce peace throughout the world.
They did try to secretly donate to the Obama campaign. Obviously, they wanted to give money to him without getting caught.

When it comes to the Obama campaign, there's no such thing as secretly doing anything. If it was a legitimate story to smear Obama, Fox would have been all over it.
Everybody knows that.

Well for just one of many hundreds of examples how about;

During an interview on WABC radio Sunday, top Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said the terrorist group supports Obama’s foreign policy vision.

Well folks. I give up. B. Hussein O. is a Muslim terrorist who wants to destroy the United States of America, the country he and his wife secretly hate. Fortunately, the brilliant deductive minds of some of you on CW saw through this plot and through extensive hours of research and deduction, have enlightened us all to the diabolical plot of this evil wannabee dark lord emperor. I'm buying my plane ticket today just in case he wins. I don't want to be blowed up, so I'm leaving.

Forget about being President of the US. He wants to be ruler of the world. Why else would he have so much disregard for the American flag? Why does he want to tax us more and give it to the UN (Global Poverty Act). As if we don't have enough poverty right here and he wants to tax us more. Why else would he go globe-trotting to make all his "historic" speeches to the world? Oh wait...that was just to avoid the town hall meetings for awhile.

I don't think it is too much of a stretch to go from B. Hussein O. saying "America is..., uh, is no longer, uh... what it could be, what it once was. And I say to myself, I don’t want that future for my children." or Michelle saying “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country …" to saying they hate the U.S.
Please don't leave us, Julius. We "evil conservatives" need someone to keep us in line.

Obama and or is agenda is hardly a worthy example of anything of a believer and he's certainly not liken to Timothy...

Barry, like his rev, didn't live in the 'hood as the South Side of the Windy City is far too dangerous. Contrast this with Danny Wuerful, who after his college and NFL career ended, moved to the mean streets of the Big Sleazy to work with an inner-city ministry.

All this sounds so lovely...and it should. It's from his website, where he puts his best foot forward. Too bad he's now tripping over those feet.
As for his "religious" upbringing...I wish he would make up his mind:
Barack Obama referred to his mother as "the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics."
when asked if her mother was an atheist, said, "I wouldn't have called her an atheist. She was an agnostic." quote from Barack's sister.
And yet for all her professed secularism, my mother was in many ways the most spiritually awakened person that I've ever known."[22] Religion for her was "just one of the many ways — and not necessarily the best way — that man attempted to control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our lives," Obama wrote.[20] However, in 2007 Obama described his mother as "a Christian from Kansas." "I was raised by my mother", he continued. "So, I’ve always been a Christian."
How can one profess secularism and be a Christian?
In his 2006 book The Audacity of Hope Obama wrote, "I was not raised in a religious household...
