"You have GOT to be kidding me . . ." (A conservative view of the DU fund drive)

[Skinner]

I just recevied this email about 45 minutes ago. Had to share...

From: Cynthia <Last name and email removed by DU admin>
To: [e-mail]
Date: Nov 16, 2009 2:48 PM

Subject: You have GOT to be kidding me . . .

These aren't 'charities' by any definition of the word (well, maybe the one helping the dogs is). Clearly absent are any of the very fine, effective religious-based charities (TRUE charities) such as Salvation Army and American Red Cross, American Cancer Society. Your selection of what constitutes a 'charity' is evil and perverse and makes a mockery of what charitable giving is all about. God, you miserable, baby-killing, misguided and unhappy people just make me sick.

C'mon you miserable, baby-killing, misguided and unhappy people: You have until 12 midnight Pacific Time (3am Eastern) Tuesday to donate to DU and have 10% of your donation go to Modest Needs. More 'charities' throughout the week...

For more information, or to donate, click here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/donate.html

1. When I get home from work, I will donate tonight to the baby killers

[taterguy]

66. while munching on some foie gras I presume

[graywarrior]

79. with a nice chianti

[Old Codger]

91. probably

In the middle of making a nice personal tape for her boyfriend du jur ...

[Danascot]

94. I love children

... if they're cooked properly.

- W. C. Fields

[onager]

139. Time for the Noel Coward story again...

One night, some of his friends roped Noel Coward into seeing a play. The play featured a bratty child actress whom Coward absolutely despised, and also used the gimmick of a live horse on stage.

Sure enough, the child actress led the horse onstage and it massively defecated.

Coward observed: "The producer could have solved all his problems, if he had only shoved the child's head up the horse's arse."

[bobbolink]

155. Live on love and eat your babies.

OK, that's my grossity for the year....

:hi:

[bjobotts]

164. Somebody's killin' babies?? These goobers equate a handful of cells with a laughing baby being decap

itated

[bjobotts]

165. I guess mothers with complications should just die or have uncle dick's baby huh

[bjobotts]

166. Next time I hear "pro abortion"l, I'll call them "pro-orphan makers"

[Maraya1969]

167. Oh that is so true. And heartbreaking. I saw a special on kids who grow

up with no parents whatsoever. They go from foster home to foster home. It was horrifying. (Someone corrected me and said that Florida now allows gays to adopt thank God because they often take older children, God bless them).

I remember talking to a guy who grew up in a foster home and he said he waited for years for his mother to come pick him up. Of course she never did.

[arthritisR_US]

123. that's exactly the CHARITY I want money to go to! n/t

[TheEuclideanOne]

177. Not me, I want my money to go to FreeRepublic.com!

When you support them, that money goes toward.....a new car for the webmaster? A yacht? Cruise around the world? Them's good christian causes, arent't they?

[arthritisR_US]

217. yep, that sums it up to a T! n/t

[mmonk]

2. Thanks for the motivation.

[OneGrassRoot]

LOL!

Here's one miserable, baby-killing, misguided and unhappy person who will DEFINITELY be returning in a few hours to donate.

Oy.

Thanks for sharing, Skinner!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. I'm surprised he didn't capitalize all the words in the subject line.

[Quantess]

14. Yeah, and his spelling and grammar were fine.

So, this person doesn't mind helping dogs? What a fuckin' bleeding heart. ;)

[YOY]

18. "She" actually.

Unless some dippy FReep thinks that using a woman's name will make his arguement stronger.

At any rate...I'll see if I can donate 20$ tonight with my little girl sitting on my lap watching me click the "send" button.

[Gold Metal Flake]

109. "She" presumably.

Yes, freepers and trolls frequently self-identify as female to try to get more troll time. If you ever decide to serve as a mod you will see how common it is.

[Brickbat]

4. So....if it ain't Christianly, it ain't charity? WTF?

[Hawkeye-X]

5. *hic* Another round of DU Hate Mail *hic*

and you'll have my donation for this drive!

[Make7]

6. You should reply and ask her how much she wishes to donate. ( n/t )

[MNDemNY]

7. Count me in!

[cynatnite]

8. The American Cancer society is religious based? WTF? n/t

[old mark]

21. Yeah, the ones who help you pray your cancer away....

for a large donation, baby killer....


mark

[wtmusic]

25. Go figure.

But something tells me Islam-based charities aren't as "fine" as the Christian-based ones...

[Lifelong Protester]

65. Yeah, that's what I thought! If so, I sure didn't know it

likewise the American Red Cross... just because they use the (Swiss) cross doesn't mean they won't help an atheist burned out of his or her home.

[PSzymeczek]

147. And they'll send a bill to them

for "services rendered," just like they did my relatives whose homes were destroyed in the 1965 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak. I know multiple horror stories about the Red Cross, and refuse to donate to them.

[tiredtoo]

208. My Dad served in WW2 and

he would give to the Salvation Army but not the Red Cross. He said he was in Germany and came upon a Red Cross tent serving coffee and donuts. He got a coffee and donut and was charged 10 cents. Not a lot of money but the Salvation Army charged nothing. I know a man who is involved with the Red Cross I will ask him about billing for services provided.

[NoSheep]

125. It has the word "American" in it so you KNOW it is!!!

[peace frog]

9. Just for that...

I'm going to donate more $$ to benefit PP than I originally planned. I love the sound of freeper heads exploding.

[madaboutharry]

10. I am waiting for Thursday.

I want to donate to that miserable, misguided, evil and perverse charity that provides medical care to those living in remote areas.

[beac]

26. I was going to wait until Saturday to give to the opposite-marriage-destroying

heatheny folks of PFLAG, but Cynthia inspired me to go ahead and throw my baby-killing dollars into the pot right away.






And 'cause we know you're lurking...

THANKS, Cynthia! Sleep well tonight knowing your vile faux-Christian blathering will no doubt result in a flood of truly charitable giving!

[Lisa0825]

131. I had a similar thought, but I think I will give $25 each day instead....

which will be twice as much as I had initially planned, and will include each evil charity, and a net DU gain :evilgrin:

[prolesunited]

50. You shall burn in hell

LOL

[KatyaR]

103. PUPPY!

Sorry, I'm getting a BT pup this weekend, I couldn't contain myself . . . . :blush:

[madaboutharry]

133. That is great.

I have two Boston Terriers and I just love them to bits. They are the most loving, loyal, and sweet dogs. Congratulations!

[Hepburn]

141. Terriers rock....

...just ask my Scottie, Maggie! :hi:

[KatyaR]

146. Thanks!

Basie will be my fourth BT--I just lost my Maggie in July. I've really been dreading the holidays without her, so this will be a big help. He's 6 weeks here:



<sorry to hijack the thread>

[madaboutharry]

169. Oh, he is so cute.

He looks a lot like my Daisy.

Boston Terriers are like potato chips, it is hard to have only one.

[parasim]

150. I love Boston Terriors.

Here's a portrait I did of my sister's Boston Terrior, Shelby. Thought you might like it.


:-)

[beltanefauve]

153. I checked out your homepage

Nice Work!!!

[parasim]

159. Thanks!

Haven't updated it in awhile... but I appreciate the kind words.

[Quantess]

154. That's fantastic.

[parasim]

160. I appreciate that. thanks! nt

[KatyaR]

171. So very cute!

You do very good work!

[tavalon]

181. Is that Harry

er, Hairy? I'd be mad about him too.

[Lorien]

215. And places like L.A. nt

[ET Awful]

11. Yeah! I you don't live in a densely populated urban area, you're evil!

Damn those remote area people anyway.

[SeattleGirl]

12. I made my baby-killer donation last night.

And Sue, since when does a charity have to be religion-based to be valid?

Oh, never mind.

:rofl:

[ingac70]

13. I can't afford to give much....

and was going to wait for Remote Area Medical Foundation, but this bitch inspired me to go ahead and give on Planned Parenthood day.

I'll give a little more on Thursday.

[libnnc]

15. Well shit...

I was holding out 'till next week but now that Miss Cindy-Lou has uncovered my unhappiness and eagerness to kill all teh precious snowflake behbeeees......

I MUST Donate!!

[Razoor]

16. dont understand how the red cross and american cancer society

are considered religious by this moron. I always thought they werent but never read up on it.
but charities that are not religious according to the person who sent the email are not true charities? WTF what a insane thing to say.

[patrice]

17. Marking so I can give when I get home from work. Religions are Businesses.

Let's just see how much "It isn't about money." Drive the f-ing Money Changers out of the Temple by giving your money to non-sectarian charities.

[NYC_SKP]

19. I see she used the Lord's name in vain, right there in her email, OM(deleted)!!11!

She just dissed the Supreme Being. She's gonna burn. :P

[Sebastian Doyle]

20. I guess I understand how a reich winger would have a problem with Planned Parenthood or PFLAG

But the Remote Area Medical Foundation? Treehouse for kids? Modest needs?

Exactly how are they reading a "librul commie god hatin soshalist agenda" into those? :wtf:

[amb123]

22. Thank You Cynthia!

You just inspired me to contribute to DU (and Planned Parenthood)!

:toast: :rofl: :nopity:

[Auggie]

61. Me too! Thanks for the reminder.

[femrap]

23. Religious-based charities?

Like the Pope needs more money, land, jewelry or dresses. Geez.

If religions were so charitable, there wouldn't be any hunger or homeless people.

Cynthia used God's name in vain....isn't that like a Commandment Breaker???

Jesus won't be happy with her.

[arcadian]

36. Cynthia wants you to donate money to Al Qaeda.

She is clearly evil and hates America.

[femrap]

120. Good one....

I'm still laughing. Thanks!

[hfojvt]

24. is this Modest Needs?

http://www.modestneeds.org/

and is this Treehouse for kids?

http://www.treehouse4kids.org/whoweare

and is this Remote Area Medical?

http://www.ramusa.org/

How can those not be considered charitable organizations?

[Quantess]

28. Those are all un-American.

The first one enables poor people to keep on being lazy. The second one turns children into tree-huggers. The third one promotes socialism.

[Froward69]

27. I am NOT miserable NOR misguided

I am quite Happy and Truthfully informed. (I'll leave the misinformed misery be suffered by the whacko right.) ;)

not to worry Skinner I am budgeting for donation not this week but most likely by mid December.

[annabanana]

29. "unhappy"?. . .What makes her think we're unhappy?

I'm happy.

[Echo In Light]

174. To conservative people, unfavorable facts = "you're being NEGATIVE!"

[MerryBlooms]

30. Hilarious

I love reading/hearing the hate mail - a sure fire chuckle every time.
I can afford to donate once this week here on DU and then my usual charities I support by snail mail.
Such a tough time of year for so many ... thanks to DU for lending a helping hand.

[arcadian]

31. What's the best way to unload a dump truck filled with dead babies?

With a pitchfork.

We used to tell that joke in the 3rd grade, egads, no wonder I'm so fucked up.

[proud2BlibKansan]

209. What's red and spins?

Baby in a blender.

My 3rd grade joke.

[DU GrovelBot]

32. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

This week is our fourth quarter 2009 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Please take a moment to donate! Thank you!

[flvegan]

54. YOU MISERABLE, BABY-KILLING, MISGUIDED AND UNHAPPY ROBOT!

[ArbustoBuster]

71. ## WHY DON'T YOU HUMANS UNDERSTAND MY ROBOTIC PAIN? ##

[flvegan]

75. BABY KILLER!

[arcadian]

178. Grovelbot also has a self-destruct mechanism.

Which makes him a potential suicide bomber, doubly evil.

[JerseygirlCT]

33. That;'s too funny... nt

[spanone]

34. fuck those fucking morans

[lpbk2713]

35. Han-nutty wrote that during a commercial break.

Thanks for sharing.

[lamp_shade]

37. Holy Keeryst Harriet!!

[quiet.american]

38. Someone operating through that kind of hate can't begin to understand the meaning of charity. nt

[Call Me Wesley]

39. Instead of a bumper sticker,

can you send me a dead baby, please? Thankies! I hope to get even more unhappy, evil, perverse, misguided and miserable.

:rofl:

Dear Cynthia, I'm sorry. Next time I'll donate to a religious-based charity (which must be a TRUE charity!) Like Scientology or such. Hang in there!

[prolesunited]

51. Like that's even possible

Are you gonna attach the dead baby to your bumper.

[Call Me Wesley]

62. Nooo, silly you!

I donate it to the Salvation Army!

[dmr]

93. There's always Nurse Gollum

"Conjoined Fetus Lady"

[EFerrari]

40. Oooo! I've never been evil AND perverse at the same time!

Sounds kinky.

lol

[blm]

72. I have.....hey, it was the late 70s. ;))))

.

[EFerrari]

84. LOL! I bet it involved growing collars and big hair.

:)

These idiot people need a religious authority to make them "do good". How pathetic are they.

[tavalon]

183. Well, you clearly have not lived up to your full potential

Come on, hon, get crackin'!

[JuniperLea]

41. I'd block that person from my email...

Life's too short.

If we had single payer health care, we could give a lot of poor women birth control pills, which would cut down on abortions, welfare recipients, over-crowded schools, abused (unwanted) children... the list goes on, but I'm preaching to the choir here...

When all those "REAL" charities start taking care of these women before they even consider unprotected sex or an abortion, I'll have more... no, some... respect for them.

[polmaven]

46. Ya, but - doncha know???

Birth control pills CONSTITUTE abortion? The way them there thangs work is to flush fertilized babies out of wimmins systems..... Donchu know that" Tsk....wassamatta wif you killers?

[JuniperLea]

59. You're right, of course...

Every sperm is sacred!

[JaneFordA]

42. I'm about tapped out, guys... but... ;-)

... if "Cynthia" agrees to be the center-fold for Heiffer, International, I might have to see how much loose change I can scrounge up... :-0

[mike_c]

43. I just love how happy and perky SHE sounded....

:rofl:

[Warren DeMontague]

44. I gotta hand it to you, you sure know how to motivate the troops.

I'll be on it later this afternoon, chief. I don't want to miss the Planned Parenthood window. :patriot:

[tandot]

45. Thanks, Cynthia. You inspired me to donate today so Planned Parenthood is getting lots of money.

I wasn't planning on donating since money is real tight right now (unemployed and had a baby). Actually, some other very nice DUer donated for me the last time around. However, I'll just skip a couple of "luxury" items (e.g., soda, sweets) this week and donate to DU instead.

I hope you are reading DU and see how many DUer you've inspired to donate. Especially Planned Parenthood will thank you! You are such an inspiration!

On edit: I just donated for another member who didn't have a star yet. Thanks again, Cynthia. Not only will money go to Planned Parenthood, but also benefit another DUer.

[StarfarerBill]

47. Gave my baby-killing, atheistic bit early today. :)

[LuckyLib]

48. This is a Wilson moment. The more the freepers scream, the more $$$ rolls in!

Whoot! B-)

[Odin2005]

49. "Cynthia" can go STFU!

[rucky]

52. I haven't killed a baby in weeks!

Planned Parenthood, meet money bomb!

[brooklynite]

53. A reply back (feel free to forward)

Dear Cynthia -

Your concern over DU's choice of charities to support would be better received if 1) you were actually more versed in the subject (American Red Cross and American Cancer Society are by no means "religious-based"), and more importantly, 2) if the folks on your side of the fence came anywhere close to the same level of charitable support found here. In the past two years, I've personally put up $12,000 in challenges in support of Feeding America, and every penny of those challenges has been met by the liberals, heathens and atheists of the DU community. I can't say I can recall seeing a similar charitable efforts at FreeRepublic or Red State or Town Hall.

[Soylent Brice]

55. LOL!!!!!

that's AWESOME.

[santamargarita]

56. I donated to the baby killers. Maybe we can find a charity for Cynthia...

one that can help insane right-wing women.

[mistertrickster]

57. This is why CONs supposedly "give more" to charity than Libs do . . .

Because the Church of the Damn You to Hell Fundamentalism is considered a charity while Democracy for America is not . . .

[TrogL]

58. I was gonna wait until Saturday so I can commit an abomination

...and donate to PFLAG.

[intheflow]

60. Daer Cynthia, Neither the Red Cross nor the American Cancer Society

are faith-based charities, you idiot. Oh, and I love how a good Christian like you takes the Lord's name in vain. God, you miserable, pro-death-penalty, misguided and unhappy Christians just make me sick! :hi:

Also, what exactly makes you think we're unhappy? I'm perfectly content to not post or send emails to discussion forums I don't agree with, but you, miserable pill of a woman, have your panties in such a knot you have to attack people you don't agree with. So who's the unhappy person here?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. A Freeper validated me!

I would never have expected it!

But by God, she did!

Thank you, Cynthia, wherever you are....you just made my day!

And now you've inspired so many others!

I hope we made your day too, lol!

:rofl: :rofl:


Thank you, my dear Skinner! Her email is the fucking icing on the cake!

:yourock:

[Missy Vixen]

64. The irony, she stings

I LOVE the fact that "Cynthia" fails to recognize that Treehouse benefits kids considered by the Republican Party to be "throwaways" -- foster children -- and helps them actually have a childhood instead of an existence.

Why are we surprised, though? Republicans consider every child outside of the womb should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

:eyes:

[Caoimhe]

67. I just donated in Cindy's name.

Thanks for the inspiration, girlfriend!

I know I'll be seeing you one of these days down at your local Planned Parenthood, taking your daughter or granddaughter in for a "necessary" procedure. I've read all about you and your ilk here: http://mypage.direct.ca/w/writer/anti-tales.html

[GoddessOfGuinness]

219. +10

[nadinbrzezinski]

68. The American Red Cross religious based?

THAT IS NEWS TO ME.

As a Red Cross Medic I know where that red cross comes from.

If she is lurking....

Here



Now look at this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Switzerland.svg

Just in case the person is dense... the Red Cross symbol is the inverse of the Swiss flag, since the headquarters are in Berne Switzerland.

And just for bonus points and blow heads, here are the other recognized insignia



There was a third one, a red lion, about oh three decades ago, but I guess the Red Crescent will be enough to explode some heads...

[Hawkeye-X]

105. La Croix de Rogue Internationale

Yep. :)

[nadinbrzezinski]

119. Now here is one for you

some decades ago I wanted to work with the ARC... the local instructors did not know this.

I was like... WHAT?

I mean Jean Henry Dunnant was nowhere mentioned... and the ARC was special...

What can I say, I think Katrina was a good thing only insofar as the ARC realized that yes, sometimes you do need help from the rest of the movement;

I also was the instructor on Red Cross movement history... ah the Battle of Solferino.... and 1857...

[Hawkeye-X]

126. I learned about the IRC while reading a memoir of a rescuer of Holocaust victims

Because my Zaidy was a Holocaust survivor. His record is right here:

From: Selo Slatina (Czechoslovakia)

Ghetto(s) Satu Mare (Romania : Ghetto)
Camp(s) Auschwitz I (Poland : Concentration Camp), Neudachs (Poland : Concentration Camp), Auschwitz II-Birkenau (Poland : Death Camp)

Source: tc.usc.edu

I really got interested in reading Holocaust memoirs and stories. One of my all-time favorite is Maus by Art Spiegelman.

I came across the name many times...

[Mutley]

156. But it's got the word "Cross" in its name.

That MUST mean it's religious-based!

:P

[Sebastian Doyle]

223. Well, apparently, that's a common perception.

Otherwise, why would they go by the name "Red Crescent" and use that symbol in Muslim countries where a cross probably wouldn't be all that welcome?

[peacetalksforall]

69. Did you notice that she swore? She used God's name in vein and in an unnecessary way.

Don't tell her pastor.

[HippieCowgirl]

70. Planned Parenthood saved my life

Without their low-cost clinic, I wouldn't have received basic GYN care, and wouldn't have found the cervical tumor until it was too late.

I have only a pittance to give, but if it helps another 22-year-old gal avoid cancer, it's a pittance well spent.

[ejbr]

73. unhappy? unhappy?

misguided? a Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin apologist calls us misguided? Well, as long as we make her sick, I can live with her opinion.

[ejbr]

74. I wasn't going to donate this go 'round,

but a conservative idiot just indirectly gave you money via my VISA.

[DFW]

76. Just to make Cynthia sick

I made sure you'll be donating $50 to Planned Parenthood.

I usually can't swing that, but she so inspired me...................

[katkat]

77. So who is Cynthia, a lurking freeper?n/t

[tavalon]

185. No, she's the best marketing tool DU has ever had!

Seriously, if she hadn't donated her time to rally the troops, our beloved website and the charities would have gotten a lot less.

[ellie]

78. Hey Cynthia!

FUCK OFF!

[appleannie1]

80. The Red Cross is profit based

[nadinbrzezinski]

83. Maybe the Murican Red Cross

but as a Mexican Red medic, more than once I filled the tank in my rig.... at the end of the fiscal year... it was that, or just sending smoke signals.

Oh wait, we lived purely on donations, so does the ARC...

It is not a for profit corporation.

I have problems with the ARC... but they are not for profit... at all. And they do have lean years... and have made serious mistakes... 9.11 fund comes to mind.

[AlbertCat]

216. The ARC has a board of directors

Liddy Dole used to be the head of it. My Fundie aunt, who is a friend of Liddy, was head of it for a while not long ago....maybe she still is. (nepotism anyone?)


Apparently their role is to make sure the ARC doesn't spend too much money on things like... ohhh... updated communications equipment and the like. It's a mess.

[Orangepeel]

198. Not it isn't n/t

[Sparkly]

81. Planned Parenthood -- DOWN with the Prevention of Unwanted Pregnancies!! BOO birth control!!

Pap smears cause cancer!!

Knowing whether you have AIDs can ruin your life!!

Mammograms hurt like hell!!

Infertility is God's way of kicking you out of the gene pool!!

Gynecology is ICKY!!!

Why on earth would ANYbody consider providing women's health services some kind of charitable cause?!?

MAYbe the dog charity is okay, though....

[hileeopnyn8d]

82. You need to sticky

this to every forum! What a great motivator, I'll be sure to donate this go around.

[grace0418]

85. I bet she'd love to know that we will be donating even more, on her behalf.

If it makes her so sick, she should probably stop reading. Sounds to me like she's the miserable one.

[DRoseDARs]

86. "aren't charities" So, fuck kids fuck the poor fuck rural America fuck pets (except maybe Vet pets)?

Nice.

[Ignis]

87. Awwww, c'mon, post the email addy.

I'm sure Cynthia wants many, many newsletter subscriptions from the ACLU, the SPLC, Planned Parenthood, etc.

:evilgrin:

[cliffordu]

88. She should hear me say..."...And the horse you rode in on.."

quite festive and joyful, I am.

[Cha]

89. I'm fucking happy, Cynthia, because we have

a President who is an intelligent caring human being and not some sadistic asshole who bombs babies in Iraq and used all our treasure and spilled Soldiers' our blood there.. based on his LIES.

Put that in your crack pipe and suck on it, Cynthia, as you're butting the fuck out.

[lib_wit_it]

90. Fuck stupid, selfish Sinthia--I wasn't going to donate, as times are tough, but I just gave as much

as I could spare just now. Who the hell is she to decide what is and isn't a TRUE charity based on her personal political beliefs? Yep, she's inspired me to donate to DU, and, as soon as I can, I'm donating to some *religious* organization that's not Christian, as well.

[man4allcats]

92. Well that about says it for me too, Skinner. Go sit right over there

on the Group W bench with the mother rapers, father stabbers and father rapers. Yes, father rapers right there on the Group W bench! Now you go sit with them you wicked, wicked man! BTW, I donated a couple of weeks ago and will donate again out of my next check. I am indeed proud to be a contributor to you evil Group W types. }(

[emmadoggy]

95. Well, a few hours ago, I had decided

that I just couldn't donate at this time, even though I really wanted to with today being for Planned Parenthood. But reading Cynthia's hypocritical, nasty little screed was enough to make me say "fuck it" to my budget issues.

My donation may be small but it feels good to know that I'm doing the CHRISTIAN thing and helping people, unlike the FAKE Christians who only help those whom they deem "worthy". What black-hearted creatures they are.

I only wish I could have made the donation in our lovely Cynthia's name, like so many did for that POS Palin a while back, so she could know the impact of her words.......

[TransitJohn]

96. Bring back the hate mailbag!

:kick: and rec. Thanks Skinner.

[tandot]

97. Can you reply to her tomorrow and let her know how many DUers she inspired to donate?

also, maybe let her know how much Planned Parenthood will get because of her inspirational words. Maybe you could include a link to this post?

:hi:

[dbmk]

98. I might hold out

..and donate for some seriously evil treehouses. Those bastions of Satan will decorate every tree in the United States if I have my way.

Edit: Gave some for this days devils as well - and noticed Skinner didn't have a star. ;)

[lillypaddle]

99. I worked for Planned Parenthood for 13 years

They are a wonderful, ethical organization. We saw young girls as young as 10 years old who were sexually active. We saw sexual abuse and fear. We worked within tight budgets, fighting for women and their right to choose. Every child deserves to be wanted and cared for. Planned Parenthood exemplifies everything having to do with women's rights, and the rights of children to be loved.

My affiliate gave up federal funds specifically because we wouldn't bow to the right wingers. It was important to us to serve people first.

Please give if you can.

100. Dear Cynthia, you scum sucking little dirtbag...

I was going to wait till Friday and donate to the Vet Dogs, but because of you they can only get half since I feel an overpowering urge to murder 12,000,000,000 babies by dividing my donation between the babykillers and the sweet little helpless animals.


I hope you're happy with yourself.

[AwakeAtLast]

101. Notice how she totally missed the one that helps KIDS!

According to her it's "evil and perverse".

I think we just met Michelle Bachmann's sister. :scared:

[KatyaR]

102. The American Cancer Society's a religious-based charity?

That's a new one on me . . . . :shrug:

[rurallib]

144. I bet they will be surprised to hear that, too

at least I hope so.

[Haole Girl]

104. Done. nt

[ladym55]

106. Hmm, just made sure I donated to the "baby killers"

How about when I opened DU tonight and saw that today's charity was Planned Parenthood I went immediately to PayPal???

And a few thoughts for the dim-witted Cynthia ....
--Okay, Planned Parenthood does provide access to abortions, BUT that is just ONE thing it does. It provides reproductive health care to women who need it. Why is THAT a problem for a good Christian woman like Cynthia? Does her Jesus say "blessed be those who deny health care to women and children???"
--Planned Parenthood works hard to educate young people about birth control so that they know enough to prevent unwanted pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted infections. Oh, right, Jesus was all about celibacy. Oh, wait, maybe he never talked about that. He tended to talk about greed and caring for the marginalized (and that is kinda connected to the group receiving donations over the weekend)
--And I never realized that the American Cancer Society was a Christian charity. Red Cross would be rather surprised, too.

Sorry, Skinner. I tend to be one of DU's quieter members. I read alot, post not so often, and rant rarely. Cynthia pushed my buttons.
:grr:

[MyOwnPeace]

107. Just "WOW!"

I read it - then read responses - and before I was done made a donation.

I'm wondering if that one "concerned citizen" Cynthia will help make this the largest single day contribution ever?

Sure hope so - I know it did it for me! :fistbump: :fistbump: :fistbump:

[Demoiselle]

108. OK, Skinner. You got me. I just donated. Thank you for all you do.

[tbyg52]

110. I think you have been Bouncy Balled....

to put the most charitable interpretation on it.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bouncy%20Ball%20tale

[Hekate]

111. I just donated a hundred bucks to Planned Parenthood. Take that, Cynthia!!!11!!!

Planned Parenthood has PREVENTED more abortions (via education and contraception) than all the anti-choice demonstrations and murders ever have.

Hekate

[Luciferous]

112. I also donated to the baby killers nt

[Raine]

113. ROFL

:rofl: that anyone really thinks like that! :silly:

[matt819]

114. Thanks - and please extend my appreciation to Cynthia

Skinner,

Please e-mail that particular nutbag to express my - and, I suspect, our collective - appreciation for her sentiments. I was thinking I'd give this fund drive a miss, but that e-mail was what I needed to find the money and send it along.

Of course, with today's report that fully 16% of the American population goes to bed hungry, there are certainly a host of charities that deserve our consideration. Planned Parenthood is a fine choice, and, to paraphrase another nutty republican recently, it drives the RW insane.

Thanks.

[Haole Girl]

115. kick

:kick:

[BenjaminFranklin]

116. A shame you didn't share her email

I would love to have to told her that I'd donate to her college fund, unfortunately I'm scared she'd blow the money on crack.

[Roland99]

117. Signing up now!!!

[sellitman]

118. I am unemployed over a year yet this bitch got me to donate tonight.

I was going to wait but.........


Fuck her very much!

[XOKCowboy]

121. I'm waiting for RAM - Those heathens who are providing free medical care

to the less fortunate. What an invaluable service at this time.

[Mr. Sparkle]

122. So shes the one going around and unrec'ing all those threads! Your on notice Cynthia...

:evilgrin:

[katandmoon]

124. Cynthia, I just donated to Planned Parenthood in your name. Now YOU're going to hell!

[southerncrone]

127. Why can't Repubs mind their own business? She can please

focus on getting religious-right-wingers to send their alms to FR. That's the problem with them... they think EVERYONE cares what THEIR opinions are. NOT.

[BrklynLiberal]

128. I will join the donors to the group that. provides women

with all the health care they need....in spite of the fact that fanatic fundamentalist hypocrites would like to stop them..

The vast majority of us are forever grateful for the efforts of Planned Parenthood.

PS. About that letter...If it were not so pathetic, it would be funny.

[BobTheSubgenius]

129. If the ACTUAL definition of "charity" qualifies as "any definition", then

good ol' Cynthia is - shockingly - wrong in fact as well as intent.

the voluntary giving of money or other help to those in need

A more tertiary definition might also be of interest to Cynthia...and might actually be irony, as well. What say you?


tolerance in judging others.

[the blues]

130. Holy toledo!

[Arkana]

132. Yeah, you should totally give money to those thinly-veiled

fundamentalist terrorist groups that shoot abortion doctors but scream that reproductive rights are murder.

EDIT: Just because of that email, I sent some cash your way, Skinner.

[Major Hogwash]

134. That's just sad, misguided, and miserable.

Intolerance at work again to divide someone trying to do something good.

She probably pushes girl scouts down to steal their cookies, too.

[MissB]

135. Hilarious!

Thanks for the laugh- just donated!

[BBG]

136. Thanks for the Reminder

Planned Parenthood was my preference in charity and I easily could have procrastinated my donation right past Monday and missed out. But this post was a great reminder.

Thanks for everything,
G

[Earth_First]

137. I guarantee you by the six degrees of separation theorry...

that this woman knows at least one person who has benefited by the services of Stan Brock and Remote Area Medical.

What a loon!

[gleaner]

138. As one of the people who ....

donated to Planned Parenthood I guess I have become even more of a "miserable, baby-killing, misguided and unhappy person" than I already was. Oh well. It made me feel tons better to donate and I picked the charity I wanted.

For people sickened by our choice of charities I recommend some Pepto Bismol, bed rest and avoiding things that it bothers them to read. If they do read something that upsets them, they should immediately stop reading it and find something else to read. They should also sit down and be quiet.
Best therapy for their malaise about our "perverse" charities which serve so many so well.

[clyrc]

140. My brother, who has channeled his insanity into Christianity,

for the time being anyway, insists that I'm a miserable person who knows nothing about love. Since he doesn't have the first idea about my life right now, I assume it's something these people tell themselves and each other.

[Hepburn]

142. I know what PP is, but just to make sure I was not missing something...

...I looked up all the other charities listed above to see what is supposedly "evil" about them.

Cynthia must be either off her RX Meds or on Street Meds for Recreation ~~ these are really good organizations that seem to do the real kind of "Christian" work that churches should be doing, but are not.

JMHO

[Chulanowa]

143. I wish I could donate :(

My wallet's running on fumes though.

But yeah. How fucking dare we donate to ensuring women's freedom of reproduction, helping the homeless, sending foster children to school, getting medicine to people who live far from hospitals, caring for military dogs, and supporting the health and well-being of GLBT people.

If it makes a teabagger sick, then it must be a good thing.

[PSzymeczek]

149. Same here.

Hubster hasn't gotten his last check from his previous employer, as they are jerking him around. He also hasn't gotten his first paycheck from the job he went back to. (Long Story) So we're super tight this week. Will try to donate for RAM.

[Hepburn]

145. She took the lord's name in vain?

Hmmmmmm....I just thought she recognized Skinner as the God of DU!

:evilgrin:

[wryter2000]

148. Oh, lordy

Are you going to make me kill more babies? I thought I killed enough last year.

All right, if I have to. But next year, I want to pull the plug on Grandma, okay? I'm tired of killing the innocent preborn all the time.

[Duppers]

151. OMG.

She's a dumbass.

[InvisibleTouch]

152. I'm a big fan of Planned Parenthood...

...though am unfamiliar with the other charities on the list. I'm a little disappointed that DU didn't include an environmental protection organization (Sea Shepherd? World Wildlife Fund? Defenders of Wildlife? Nature Conservancy? Come on, at least one of them should have been up there!), but I hope the fund drive goes well, none the less.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

192. I agree. n/t

[CoffeeCat]

157. She's channeling Veruca Salt...seriously...

Seriously...read her post listen as the voice of Veruca Salt screams out from the intertubes.

Read her words more closely...you'll see Veruca between the lines...

These aren't 'charities' by any definition of the word. (well, maybe the one helping the dogs is). All I've got at home is ONE pony and TWO dogs and FOUR cats and SIX bunny rabbits and TWO parakeets and THREE canaries and a green parrot and a turtle, and a SILLY OLD hamster! I WANT a SQUIRREL!!! Clearly absent are any of the very fine, effective religious-based charities (TRUE charities) such as Salvation Army and American Red Cross, American Cancer Society. But I don't want any old squirrel! I want a *TRAINED* squirrel! Your selection of what constitutes a 'charity' is evil and perverse and makes a mockery of what charitable giving is all about. Snozzberries? Who ever heard of a snozzberry? God, you miserable, baby-killing, misguided and unhappy people just make me sick and I want an Ooompa Loompa NOWWWW!


See, I told ya! Veruca Salt knows how to email.

Aren't we lucky!

[kid a]

158. k&r

[Stephanie]

161. I'm in

I didn't notice that Planned Parenthood was selected - thanks for the heads up!

[DainBramaged]

162. TRUE charities, the kind the GOVERNMENT supports......

cheese-eating surrender monkeys...........SOCALIST charities like the Salvation Army............




:rofl:

[Ishka Kibble]

163. I just donated.

So that means I helped to enrich a baby-killing organization?

Good.

Imagine what Jonathan Swift's essay, "A Modest Proposal (For Preventing The Children of Poor People in Ireland From Being A Burden to Their Parents or Country, and For Making Them Beneficial to The Public, by Jonathan Swift, 1729)" would do were your penpal to read this famous (or infamous) bit of satire:

”I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled ...”

<snip>

"For first, as I have already observed, it would greatly lessen the number of papists, with whom we are yearly overrun, being the principal breeders of the nation as well as our most dangerous enemies; and who stay at home on purpose with a design to deliver the kingdom to the Pretender, hoping to take their advantage by the absence of so many good protestants, who have chosen rather to leave their country than stay at home and pay tithes against their conscience to an episcopal curate.

"Secondly, The poorer tenants will have something valuable of their own, which by law may be made liable to distress and help to pay their landlord's rent, their corn and cattle being already seized, and money a thing unknown.

"Thirdly, Whereas the maintenance of an hundred thousand children, from two years old and upward, cannot be computed at less than ten shillings a-piece per annum, the nation's stock will be thereby increased fifty thousand pounds per annum, beside the profit of a new dish introduced to the tables of all gentlemen of fortune in the kingdom who have any refinement in taste. And the money will circulate among ourselves, the goods being entirely of our own growth and manufacture.

"Fourthly, The constant breeders, beside the gain of eight shillings sterling per annum by the sale of their children, will be rid of the charge of maintaining them after the first year.

"Fifthly, This food would likewise bring great custom to taverns; where the vintners will certainly be so prudent as to procure the best receipts for dressing it to perfection, and consequently have their houses frequented by all the fine gentlemen, who justly value themselves upon their knowledge in good eating: and a skilful cook, who understands how to oblige his guests, will contrive to make it as expensive as they please.

"Sixthly, This would be a great inducement to marriage, which all wise nations have either encouraged by rewards or enforced by laws and penalties. It would increase the care and tenderness of mothers toward their children, when they were sure of a settlement for life to the poor babes, provided in some sort by the public, to their annual profit instead of expense. We should see an honest emulation among the married women, which of them could bring the fattest child to the market. Men would become as fond of their wives during the time of their pregnancy as they are now of their mares in foal, their cows in calf, their sows when they are ready to farrow; nor offer to beat or kick them (as is too frequent a practice) for fear of a miscarriage."

See? Swift even had ideas on how to prevent women (and farm animals) from being beaten by their so-called "masters."

birther/deather/pro-lifer/nut case. The U.S. is full of these people.

Always remember, the 2004 presidential election was close enough to steal.

172. "Baby-killing?" ...but most of us here don't support wars and occupations

[Highway61]

173. I think I saw Cynthia yesterday

on my way to work. She was driving a rusted, beat up old Ford (black) with a white door and a Palin 2012 sticker on the back. I get so tired of the ignorance... people voting against their own interest.
A humble as it is, I just donated. Thanks Cindy.

[tavalon]

186. I love the cars that have Palin 2012 stickers

I love to point and laugh.

[Po_d Mainiac]

205. They are the only cars I allow the dog to wizz on. :grin: n/t

[Mad_Dem_X]

175. Okay, I am DEFINITELY donating now

I had to LOL at the "miserable...unhappy people" claim.

*Runs off to donate to the baby killers*

[crim son]

176. This made me laugh out loud. Thanks for sharing! n/t

[valerief]

179. Now where did I put my baby-killing pitchfork?

:rofl:

[pipi_k]

188. I like sticking pins in baby Voodoo dolls...

180. I'm guessing it would be pointless to buy her a star, eh?

[SteveM]

184. My wind searches out her nostrils (nt)

[Pool Hall Ace]

187. I was at Planned Parenthood just yesterday

having my yearly womyn tune-up. I saw neither hide nor hair of a dead baby.

I wish my economic situation were better right now. Fortunately, a kind, baby-killin' DUer made an anonymous donation so I could keep my star. :loveya: :hi:

[pipi_k]

189. No dead babies inside the building....

they're all outside, dancing around in the parking lot, taunting the Freepers, who are the only ones who can see them...


:7

[Jennicut]

190. So they have to be religious-based to be "good". As a Christian, this makes me sick.

Part of being a Christian, at least what I hear from my Pastor when I go to church, is giving back to people and helping others, regardless of what religion, race, age, sex, etc. Really sickening and not very Christian-like, or really what most major religions claim to be.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

191. God, you miserable, WOMAN-killing, misguided and unhappy people just make me sick.

I'm so ANGRY I couldn't get on the computer yesterday or sunday to donate on Planned Parenthood day!!!! And I posted about the importance of having P.P. as the principal charity!! DAMMIT!

Oh well, guess I'll have to donate to DU and support some other godless non-faith-based evilness.

[L0oniX]

193. Sounds like she needs to get laid. Introduce her to Bob Boudelang for a blind date.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

194. Since when are the American Red Cross and American Cancer Society

religious-based charities? And the Remote Area Medical foundation doesn't help people?

Strange world these right-wingers live in.

:shrug:

[The Backlash Cometh]

195. I'm holding out for the treehouse.

[Gregorian]

196. Who wants to take bets that this same person is pro-war.

I'll bet this same person is happy a million Iraqis are now dead because of Bush and his racket.

It's highly likely.

[era veteran]

197. Freeper war will kill babies today

Iraq illegal trumped up war. Shame on us. Peace, Richard

[Deep13]

199. Pretty sure Red Cross and American Cancer Society are not religious.

Salvation Army is and, frankly, that's why I don't give to them.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

220. Me too...

especially given their history of discrimination against gays.

[Vinca]

200. In case the holier-than-thou sender checks this thread,

I'd like to tell her about the Salvation Army in a nearby town. I wondered why I could never find anything good there until someone told me the manager picks the good donations out and takes them home. Reportedly, he can barely close his garage doors. I'll stick with Remote Area Medical, thank you very much.

[ChiciB1]

201. Wasn't Gonna Do It... Don't Have A Lot Of Extra Cash... BUT Guess I

have to fight the fight with what little I have left in me! My donation coming down real soon. Need to check out options, don't want to use credit card!

[ChiciB1]

202. Is It $50.00 For My Star Now??? n/t

[Buzz Clik]

203. Damn. All those hundreds of hours volunteering for the Red Cross, and I didn't even know.

It's a religious charity.

Idiot

[JitterbugPerfume]

204. good grief

[montanto]

206. Well, if that ain't enough to make you donate

I don't know what is.

[VOX]

207. Thanks, Cynthia! I humbly dedicate my DU donation to you & to your unswerving devotion to stupidity.

You made it essy this time! :toast:

[and-justice-for-all]

210. What a dumb ass...LOL..nt

[Skittles]

211. OMFG

I used to find this kind of stuff amusing but now it just plain sickens me. :puke:

Skittles
Misguided and Unhappy for America's VetDogs

[AlbertCat]

212. God, you miserable, baby-killing, misguided and unhappy people just make me sick.

Boy! She sounds happy!

If only I were as happy as she sounds instead of being so "miserable" and "unhappy".


BTW...there is only one religious organization that has more $$$$$ than the Salvation Army. That is the Catholic Church. I remember one Thanksgiving, my rich fundie relatives were patting themselves on the back about the 20 thou they gave the SA. A (very good looking...grrrrr) SA officer came to the family dinner (!!!!!!) to congratulate them and inform them that with that money thay had distributed 20 thousand Bibles to poor children! My buddy Michael said under his breath to me "Why not 20 thousand toothbrushes...something useful?"

My other fave thing about that circus of a dinner was when the matriarch of that side of the family stood up and cheered "Let's do more! Who's with me for another 20 thousand?!" my father and uncle backed out of the room without a word. No one rose to the challenge.

Like my brother-in-law said "Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse....."

I never give a dime to religious oriented charities. They get enough. Only secular operations get my donations.

[Lorien]

213. Remote area medical isn't charitable?

I think those doctors would take an exception to that.

It's sick that this deluded nutjob believes that "charity" is defined by RELIGION. Now THAT'S misguided!

[aquart]

214. Doesn't know much about the Red Cross, does she?

[Scurrilous]

218. Kick

:thumbsup:

[RoadRage]

221. Will you PLEASE

reply to her at the end of the fund drive with a Link to this thread along with a total tally of how much her email raised? I want her to know EXACTLY how much "baby killing" money she is directly responsible for!

Thanks Skinner!

[Quantess]

224. Good idea!

[Nikki Stone1]

222. .

[Manifestor_of_Light]

225. A great idea for christmas....

You can give a donation in someone's name to a charity that you know they would despise...and they will send the person a card to that effect.

The person I have in mind is a retired trauma surgeon who lives in Idaho, plugs large mammals, who is against universal health care.....I think some free clinic really needs my money.......

:evilgrin:
