[quote name='JolietJake']Taking advantage of a bad situation to make yourself look good?

Yeah mad props for that.[/QUOTE]

The sound of one hand clapping...?

Let's now make remarks about Obama taking advantage of the current US health care system in order to make himself look good. Or something. Wee! Obama's gonna pay for my insurance and mah house and mah car!
 
O'Reilly gives away money all the time.

Like the time he gave a few million to a female co-worker and offered her all the falafel she could eat.
 
Don't need to. I've proven my point - there are those who speak out for and believe in giving and the private charity and there are those who believe in taking and the force of government.

If I absolutely *have* to pick a side, I know who's I'm going to fall on.

Let me ask this - And, to be honest, I don't follow Paul, so this is a serious question - the only articles I've really read of his is what's been linked to from this forum. It seems he writes a number of articles.

When was the last major article Paul wrote about the virtues of private charity and giving?

Again, serious question - for all I know, he could have written one last week.
 
Serious Question, from someone who also never reads Krugman, and thus can not answer your Serious Question: why the cocks would that ever matter?

You're right, Bob. Krugman writes about economics instead of private charity and giving. I can't find any instance of him giving money to anybody. He must be a terrible person.

Just a way to stir shit up by trying to talk up a conservative talking head most of us loathe for offering to donate, while trying to attack a liberal opinion writer that gets linked to pretty often here.

AKA, just more FUD/rhetoric/par for the course.
 
Bob, I thought he was encouraging people to donate. If O'reillys actually donating his own $ then post the link, and kudos to him if thats true.

He said he would during his show (Tuesday night).


Albert Snyder also has spoken to O'reilly before in the past when this all started up after the death of his son.

Well gorsh bob i guess you done learnt me a lessin'. I never knew a private citizen using donations to gain good PR was the same as government providing a service.

Does anyone actually believe that Bob read any of the Krugman articles posted here?

Sometimes I feel bad for Bob. Sometimes.

I didn't see any Krugman articles about the Holocaust. So, uh ... that makes Krugman a Holocaust denier, right?

It's odd that a guy who "writes about economics" would have a blog titled the way his is. Perhaps it's because he has a grander focus than just pure economics?

So, lemme get this straight. A private citizen, using his own money, takes a bad situation and makes it better, and he should be vilified because he gets some PR out of it. Obama, using taxpayer funds, takes a bad situation and makes it "better" - and it just so happens that *you* directly benefit from it - and, uses this as one of his talking points about how awesome he and his administration is - well, that's a-okay.

Self-Serving, indeed.

Bob, Krugman is a Holocaust denier in addition to being greedy.
 
You guys want to know what's REALLY wrong with this country?

The aforementioned Marine's father will now have to pay INCOME TAX on the gift he is getting from Bill O'reilly.

Plus this all could have been avoided if they didn't bother to turn on the TV during the wake of the dead soldier and get offended by Phelps and Friends doing their little dance:
During the wake that was held after his son's funeral, family members turned on the television to view coverage of the massive procession involving over 1,500 persons. They saw the church members waving signs and protesting the funeral.

"I just stood there in shock," Albert Snyder told O'Reilly in November 2007.

"I couldn't believe that somebody would do that to somebody else. I mean, I didn't know what to say.

"Finally, somebody yelled, 'Turn off the television.' But I just stood there in shock. I can't believe there's somebody that would actually do that to soldiers."
Click to expand...

They found out about the protest AFTER the goddamn funeral - and it WAS ON THE fuckING TV, not even in their faces ! They were so offended, they had to file suit.

What's fucked up about this country? That they were awarded 11 million dollars for having their feelings hurt until it was overturned. Strell, you ought to be thanking your lucky stars we have an appellate legal system can replace frivolity with sanity.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']How much is Richard Cook of Carmi, IL, going to donate to the cause?[/QUOTE]

Rest assured, once I verify the donation link I posted earlier, I will be making a donation. It won't be anything huge (or, likely, much help alone). Beyond that, I'm not going to comment much more on my charitable giving - I'd hate for JJ to vilify me for making public statements about my good works.

Honestly, for what it's worth, I typically make such donations anomalously. After getting on the ASPCA mailing list, I learned that lesson real quick. I know you've got a good cause - obviously, I do, I donated to you. But that doesn't mean you should take the money I donated and use it to print and mail more materials to me and try to get more donations out of me. On the bright side, now similar money I donate tends to go toward more local Animal services.

Anywhoo, back on topic - and because this could use some repeating - here's the link to information on making your own donation to the fund.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=355406162379&ref=ts

I haven't personally vetted the information yet (was running late for work today as it was...), but I'll probably donate sometime tomorrow... :)
 
I don't think JJ's going to say much of anything, seeing as how he's been banned.

EDIT: Also, duly noted on getting swamped with postal solicitations after you've donated. Real kick in the crotch, that. And, hey, you can truly post something insightful from time to time. Lookit you!

Bmull contributed. Outstanding.

Bob, do you feel donating money to people who sue over being butthurt and have it backfire on them is a good use of your money?

In this case, yes.

See, this is where private charity rises above government take-and-give. If you think it isn't a worthwhile cause, you shouldn't have to give money. Now, if it's a "charity" situation I don't approve of (say, banking bailouts), I have no choice but to give money. Icky.

Thanks to bmull, I have a better understanding of what happened.

If I told you I wanted to undermine the First Amendment by creating exceptions where you couldn't insult certain types of people, would you subsidize that activity?

I heard he fired a single bullet through Cheapy D's window. Damn libruls, he got what's comin to him!

obviously, just kidding. I saw he was banned last night, kinda curious myself. Bad trade? What else can you get banned for?
 
Pirating content.

EDIT: Let me change that to ... Pirating content? I don't have any information. I'm just guessing.

It's funny to me that someone who is so conservative donates to a charity like the ASPCA. Talk about fluff.
 
I don't mind the ASPCA, but damn those commercials are annoying. I don't know what/when I was watching something and they would just come up rapid fire, every other commercial or so, at least one per commercial break.

But anyway, I don't watch much TV anymore and now when I actually do it's like fuck what's with all the commercials, they last forever.

I'm just full of all kinds of surprises, eh?
 
For the most part, no. If you come into my home and insult me, be prepared to get a fist in your face (probably not, but you get the idea). If you're on a public street, feel free to shout profanities at me as long as you don't enter into a slander situation or a disturbing the peace situation.

In this case, while I disagree with the idea of a law prohibiting free speech, I see a douchetard and a grieving family. And I don't like douchetards.

The difference between you and Bill is that (i'm assuming) you aren't doing this to make yourself look good to us or anyone else, you don't have an audience that cares about what you do or say basically.

Let's an alternate universe.

Mykevermin dies from alcohol poisoning tonight.

On my way to Missouri tomorrow night, I drop by the Carmi Wally World to let you know and exchange high fives.

My stalker, dmaul, videotapes our meeting and then hand the tape over to Mrs. Vermin.

Mrs. Vermin is so upset that she sues me. Should she win and why?
