Democrats are going all out on a PR campaign to make sure they get that campaign money.
As Cic well knows, this issue wasn't started by Democrats, but by a Failed Republican politician with an anti choice agenda. Anti abortion rhetoric will help awaken complacent Republicans and raise dollars for the anti Obama campaign this November. I doubt there is anyone in America that actually believes the Komen action was about anything other than Right Wing anti choice politics. |

Once again, the Bumbler had nothing to post... so he posted nothing. |

It really WAS Bush's fault! FORMER BUSH PRESS SECRETARY, Ari Fleischer Secretly Involved In Komen Strategy On Planned Parenthood Ari Fleischer, former press secretary for George W. Bush and prominent right-wing pundit, was secretly involved in the Komen Foundation’s strategy regarding Planned Parenthood. Fleischer personally interviewed candidates for the position of “Senior Vice President for Communications and External Relations” at Komen last December. According to a source with first-hand knowledge, Fleischer drilled prospective candidates during their interviews on how they would handle the controversy about Komen’s relationship with Planned Parenthood. Fleischer indicated that he had discussed the Planned Parenthood issue with Komen’s CEO, Nancy Brinker, and that she was at her wits end about how to proceed. Fleischer described himself as a longtime friend of Brinker. Fleischer confirmed that he would receive a fee from Komen when the search is complete. Fleischer did not specify the amount of his fee but said it would be “substantially below the normal placement fee charged by executive search companies” because “they’re a charity I believe in.” Fleischer’s high-level involvement with Komen further complicates its image as an apolitical cancer charity. Fleischer is a prominent partisan commentator and a longtime critic of Planned Parenthood. |

The fight to end abortion is the last great Civil Rights movement in America ---- nothing is more sacred ---- nothing should be more protected by our nation's constitution than the right to life from conception through natural death.
Withholding funds from Anti-Life/Pro-Abortion organizations like Planned Parenthood is entirely justified --- as is boycotting and withholding funds from organizations that participate in or support similar despicable atrocities around the global.

| "While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat." |

The majority of Americans (and the majority of the world) disagree with this view. |

The preceding post is just another example of the inability of the LUNATIC RIGHT-WING FRINGE to actually carry on an adult conversation on the issues. |

Locals greet Komen reversal Times Union
Lynette Stark, executive director of the Northeastern New York Komen affiliate, said she and her board did not agree with Komen's decision and were considering ways to express their displeasure. She welcomed Komen's reversal. "We were very relieved," Stark said. "And deeply saddened that the whole week has happened to us and our supporters."
Over the last three days, Planned Parenthood Federation of America's Breast Health Fund received more than $3 million from thousands of people across the country in protest of the Komen decision. Planned Parenthood said in a statement that every dollar the fund received will go directly to breast exams, diagnostic services and breast health outreach.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the nation's leading anti-breast-cancer charity, has insisted that its since-reversed decision to pull funding from Planned Parenthood arose from a routine change in criteria for grant eligibility that had nothing to do with abortion politics.Karen Handel, Komen's staunchly anti-abortion vice president for public policy, was the main force behind the decision to defund Planned Parenthood and the attempt to make that decision look nonpolitical. "Karen Handel was the prime instigator of this effort, and she herself personally came up with investigation criteria," "She said, 'If we just say it's about investigations, we can defund Planned Parenthood and no one can blame us for being political.'"That worked well! |
