Cry me a frickin' river.

that ran for office in Georgia.

Chick-with-weird-hairdo in the video is the sister of Susan Koman and started the foundation.

the SVP and I can't imagine how she ever got that job! How did they let this happen?

This so so disturbing!

She is one piece of work. I guess she had to crawl out of her coffin into the daylight at some point.

They deserve every bit of backlash coming their way.

And long needs to be fired.

Repeatedly.

Along with Karen Handel.

Assets frozen.

Neither of those women look as though they have an ounce of compassion or heart.

and letters!

Why do they feel the need to do this damage control if they are getting such an overwhelmingly positive and supportive response to cutting off PP??

Methinks the lady doth protest too much....

...and Betty Bowers. Probably a reason for that. Lizards do change their color to suit their surroundings, don't they?

EDIT: No offense to lizards, which I think are very cool critters.

Scary! Alien lizard-woman....no offense to lizards. There is not an once of compassion reflected in that woman. I have long objected to this foundation and suspected their real goals.

and then start thrashing all over to come up with a lie to cover it.

North Dallas country club set. They've taken their "charity work" worldwide, pinked it and branded it, and have been fooling people for decades.

typical of the right wing: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002253595

who hate women.

Holy crap - they OPENED the damn door, invited it in and made it a meal!

No upside to them politicizing this. None.

"Have you ever noticed that the women who are against abortion are the ones you wouldn't want to fuck anyway?"

--The Late Great George Carlin

is Sarah Palin her speech writer?

Only about as big as the Grand Canyon.

They care more about politics than women's lives. These are Santorum bots.

nt.

The silver lining of this event is that we are seeing Komen for what it is. After living in Dallas for a year I am not surprised one bit. She probably lives in Bush's neighborhood. I can see her and Laura "lunching" together.

Ambassador to Hungary
Brinker served as United States Ambassador to Hungary from September 2001 to 2003 during the administration of President George W. Bush.[24] A political appointee,[25] she advanced a broad range of U.S. security and economic interests.[26] Specific successes include expanded security cooperation, development of a closure strategy for the Hungarian Fund, resolving commerce transparency issues, and for the first time, holding a conference on the trafficking and exploitation of workers that Health Ministers from the neighboring Balkan States attended. She also raised awareness about breast cancer among Hungarian women by leading a march over the historic Chain Bridge in Budapest. The bridge was illuminated in pink for the occasion.[27]
While ambassador, Brinker began to collect Hungarian art. Today, her collection spans 100 years, from just before the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the present and has been on display at several museums around the United States. The collection is one of the largest outside of Hungary.[28][29][30][31] The Nancy G. Brinker Collection extends and complements the acknowledged masters of Hungarian modernism and has introduced the American audience to original artists of more modest reputation.[32]
Hungarian President Ferenc Mádl decorated Brinker with the Order of Merit, Medium Class, Cross Adorned with Star, for her work in advancing bilateral relations and in recognition of her charity activities.[33][34]
[edit]Other government service
On December 24, 2008, President Bush appointed her to the Board of Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for a six-year term.[35]
In 2000, she served on the National Steering Committee for the National Dialogue on Cancer.
Vice President Dan Quayle invited her to chair a subcommittee monitoring research, progress and development in the fight against breast cancer.
In 1990, President George H. W. Bush appointed her to chair the President's Cancer Panel and to monitor the progress of the National Cancer Program.
In 1986, President Ronald Reagan appointed her to the National Cancer Advisory Board.

Now I know why watching the video was difficult. She's got to be older given those dates so it's the plastic surgery - there was something about her face that bothered me. Just an observation on that ... it is what she is doing to poor women that is important.

Breech of contract with the studio could result in a lawsuit, ya know.

BHN

That SGK is now in the business of denying women healthcare is another reason why we NEED a single payor healthcare system. We can NO LONGER rely on the "generosity" of a bunch of pompously rich to throw us their crumbs!

What a load of dung. $ where it can have the most impact ....
gee early screenings for breast cervical HAVE AN IMPACT

******
Duplicitous grants .... so was planned parenthood getting
duplicate grants or were they lying about the grants from S.G.K.



For those interested give your money straight to the Stephanie Spielman fund
@ the Ohio State University's James Cancer Hospital.

Why haven't you pulled Penn State's funding -- THEY'RE under governmental investigation, too! Cue the DU "Cry Me A River" String Quartet!


rocktivity

peddling like hell away from that, as LIARS always do, and instead saying it about mission funding changes. What a crock of SHIT from a lifelong staunch RIGHT WINGER who has given hundreds of thousands to the Republican Party.

have a right to support/not support anyone they wish.

especially when their actions are hypocritical or unethical.

Rights have consequences, and you'd better be prepared to deal with them.

That's how it works.

Komen has sold their souls to people who do not have the word "consequences" in their vocabulary.

As far as I'm concerned, they defrauded me when they got me to donate $100 last summer to Koman for breast cancer research; I had no idea they had just cut $12 Million in funding for embryonic stem cell research (I just read about it today in another DU thread) and had no idea they were about to defund Planned Parenthood. Betty Botox ain't fooling anyone anymore! Time for a class action fraud lawsuit by all of us who got had by SGK for the Cure!

they just made a giant fucking tactical error when they- as anti-choicers often do- vastly underestimated the size and commitment of pro-choice opinion in this country.

but I can't. That plus the make-up . . .

lol

something the wingers are prone to do.

My guess is that Planned Parenthood will get far more in re-directed funds from former Koman donors than they ever got from SGK.

They will get neither my money, nor my trust.

WTF is it with these gutless shitsucking cretins and he bad haircuts???

This pinhead and her semi-evil twin Donald the Trumpery

keep bloviating 'policy' while their actions out an intent to fuck up a whole population of women.


My best guess the message is:

You can show your boobies in a beauty contest, but don't get raped because THEN you are on your own.

(Just suck it up and have Santorum's 'Blessing from God" I guess)

Other than that, fuck off.

And yet, in this "shining City upon a hill"....NO ONE can suggest they do SOMETHING about their FUCKING HAIR.

Fuck me with a Ginsu, I get tired of it sometimes.

wonder what Komen for the Cure pays her?

Wikipedia article on Brinker pegs her salary as over half a million.

Charity Navigator says she received no compensation in 2010...

She got her money the old-fashioned way- she married it (Norman Brinker, Brinker International- restaurants- Chili's etc.).

It is very simple. Do not donate your money or time to Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation and encourage all of your friends to do the same.

It's a story of a good organization that's lost its way.

Strangle SBK Foundation in its silk sheeted bed!

it is RIDICULOUS to not be able to make an expression

I noticed that right away. She looks good, but she looks really un-natural.

I don't think it is possible to look un-natural AND good, unless it is an inanimate object

She's a handsome lady, so it would be hard to totally mess up her face. She'd look better without botox.

She is too rich to look so stupid!
