I don't think Nancy Brinker understood just how many liberals she had working for her. When many in your own organization don't support you, it doesn't matter how right you are (and she was very right), you have a huge mess on your hands. I can't believe how out of touch she was.

Why is one “charity” giving to another “charity?” If the Komen Foundation has so much money that they are giving it away, rather than spending it to “find a cure”, then maybe my hard earned money should be donated elsewhere...

I think many people will find other avenues for donations to breast cancer research. Koman has now pissed off both sides. I had heard that donations had been up for Komen after their decision to not pay tribute to PP.

Now People will say Komen? Aren’t they the abortion people?

This is all a giant set up imo. The left wants brinker out and let her do her thing so they could sit back, eat their popcorn and wait for the fallout.

Here’s my prediction:
1. Brinker will resign or stepdown within the month.
2. New president will be a fulltime abortion rights womyn.
3. Komen will be a front for funnelling money to womyn’s health and rights orgs and abndon its focus on just breast cancer.

UN... F$!@ING... BELIEVABLE. I cannot fathom how any organization could do this. I used to participate in the Komen For the Cure walks, but never again.

What it really comes down to is the ability of Congress to make their own investigations toothless, as long as enough corruptocrats don’t have a problem with multiple taped instances of Planned Parenthood violating the law by not reporting statutory rape, assisting pimps of teenages sex slaves to avoid the law, etc.

Congressional investigations are a joke, and it seems like that’s going to be the ultimate lesson from Fast & Furious as well. It’s all a charade - bread and circuses to keep most of us dummies out here thinking that we’ve got somebody actually representing us and the rule of law.

We don’t. And until we realize that and decide we’re mad as heck and not gonna take it any more, we never will.

That’s what this is really about. That investigation of Planned Parenthood will never be allowed to have any real consequences for PP. It’s the elite establishment making sure we know the real game here and don’t get any high-falutin’ ideas about justice actually being, ya know, REAL.

Who ever Komen’s PR person should be fired immediately. I bet there were a lot of Komen supporters who didn’t know they sent money to PP. PP says their services are wide-ranging related to women’s health when in reality it is a single service only shop. The majority of Komen’s donations go toward administration and marketing; IMO not really a charitable organization whose donations go directly to the people/research they say it’s for.

I wouldn’t give a cent to either one.

When you give your money to someone for say cancer research and it ends up going to Planned Parenthood I’d say you have been swindled.

One charity fronting for another is more common than you’d expect. It pays to do homework before writing a check.

The only silver lining to this is... many people did not know that Komen used to give money to Planned Parenthood. Now with all the publicity, everyone knows.

the elephant in the living room hypocrisy here is that a group which is supposed to be involved in a cure for breast cancer, gives $ for a process that causes breast cancer to increase off the charts.....abortions for women who have never before had a full term pregnancy.

Hold on a minute there, Mrs. Brinker. You had it right the first time. If a charity doesn't live up to its mission and violates its own bylaws, it puts its tax-exemption at risk. Its mission and bylaws, which are approved as "for the public good" by the IRS, are its contract with the taxpayers that they are doing what they say they are with donated, tax-deducted money.

Mrs. Brinker's public statements indicate that they are aware of a violation of their bylaws. If they continue to do so, they can be subject to all kinds of legal trouble, including criminal charges, depending on what's really going on. Some of it would be subject to who is running the IRS and DOJ (Nazis, at the moment), but not all.

I will never donate to Komen again. How do they know that the funds they provide are not going to pay for the murder of another unborn child? I can find another charity to send my funds too.

It is a sad day when a charity is forced to provide funding to an organization which is at its core “evil.”

Correct. The surprise here is not that they do reversed their decision, but that they came out and admitted it in the first place.

Listen to this podcast from Jim Vicevich [libertarian/conservative radio talk show host on WTIC radio, Hartford, CT]..he interviewed a executive director from Susan Komen/Hartford/executive director this morning. It’s a riot. Stupid Komen rep had to back down when he pressed her on the fact that it money can’t be tracked for mammos that Komen gives Planned Parenthood [PP] to pay for women’s mammograms. through Planned Parenthood.

What is so Orwellian about this is that the Komen Foundation claims its objective is to save women’s lives.......yet half of the abortions Komen has financed via Planned Parenthood end with death of a woman.

Because of Komen’s involvement with PP, I even boycott purchasing products that contribute $$ to Komen.

From now on, I think I’ll contact the companies I boycott, with a cc to Komen.

Anybody want to join me? Just look for that pink ribbon on the products, which can be anything from food to hair dryers.

“Why is one “charity” giving to another “charity?”

That is my criticism. It seems to be very much akin to money laundering.

I am glad that the incident occurred. I have always refused to give to the pink Nazis. When I responded with, “no, they give to Planned Parenthood.” people would look at me like I was an idiot. Now Komen’s charity to PP is out in the open.
