Sure she did it but the board and CEO were not exactly dragged into it kicking and screaming.

From what I've seen the entire organization had a decided religious right wing bent.

Handel might have been the "driving force," but she is not the only person there. If anyone else at Komen actually wanted to stop this from happening then it wouldn't have happened.

They thought they could get away with it.

They would not of brought her in in the first place if they didn't want this.

and assumed, as do all too many of the rabid right, the public was too dumb to figure it out.

Congrats, Karen, you can now add this to your resume:

- single-handedly destroyed a 30 year old organization in just three days.

(yes, I know many others, ie the board, the CEO, etc, enable her but, hey, it was her idea so I am giving her her due credit)

It's probably best to find a more reputable place to donate now. Give directly or to other organizations that are known to do good.

... She'll blame the media and says her freedom of speech was violated by liberal thugs. Her rationale will be that money = speech and she was prevented from spending SGK's funds unfettered by public opinion.

"It became clear Thursday night that something had to give," the source said. "Nancy Brinker, Liz Thompson, the board, and leadership were saying, 'We're really worried about Komen's mission if we don't figure this out.' But Karen was still arguing against it [the reversal of the Planned Parenthood decision] as of Friday morning -- she was horrified that we were caving, she said. She's politically tone-deaf."

So, they hired a "politically tone-deaf" woman to be the VP of PUBLIC POLICY????

And from what I understand, this is a pretty sweet gig for Handel - it pays $500,000 per year. She can't get that kind of scratch doing a day job. Maybe once she is booted out, she can go work for some crazy Right Wing group - but they ain't gonna pay her that kind of money. She will go the way of that Christine, "I'm not a witch" chick.
