Let's just clear this up about Clinton and charities!

[leftofcool]

I don't give one gawd damn from whom Bill and Hillary Clinton get the money for their foundation or their initiative. What I know is that Bill Clinton goes around the planet to get money from the richest people to take care of the least of us. It doesn't matter to me if the money comes from the richest of the rich in Iran or if it comes from Donald Trump! Get the money out of their pockets and put it where it does the most good. Here is just a small list of what the Clinton money supports:

1. This is Good Work.. some people try to smear anything.. even the League of Conservation Voters.

Mahalo leftofcool~

2. Yea, anything to smear the Clintons.

LCV has been around for about 60 years now and people are trying to equate them with conservatives? The whole thing is just hysterical.

[Cha]

3. it's a blast! I love how they try so hard.. they're so serious. Rofl

[Walk away]

4. I research the charities that I donate to and this list is pretty stellar!

Only republicans or seriously far left wingers who suffer from CDS, would hate someone for using their star power to help power these top rated charities!

16. It's disturbing and frightening.

I'm not alarmed that someone supports Bernie over Hillary. I get that. Whether it's based simply on a "feeling" or personal preference, or based on one issue, or many issues... it's fine.

What's alarming is the venom and the hate. The irrational and insane ravings. The relentless attacks over the most mundane things. Constantly using RW sources and repeating RW lies that have been debunked.

It's just an outrageous display.

I can't imagine what it must be like to actually BE someone who's always consumed with uncontrollable anger and burning with irrational rage. Many of them need help. And by that I mean professional help.

Or am I just too cold and heartless to get whatever it is that they're so "passionate" about?

5. They do great work

instead of making lofty, yelling speeches about fixing problems, they actually do the work.

6. Thanks for addressing the charity non-issue. It needed saying. nt

7. Kick & highly recommended!

[beerandjesus]

8. Agreed. Great post.

I'm a Bernie guy, but my issues with Hillary have NOTHING to do with the Clinton Global Initiative, which does great work, and for which the Clintons deserve a hell of a lot of credit. Sure, you can always find some kind of fault somewhere with any charitable organization, but it's an assholish thing to do, assuming the charity in question isn't some kind of teabag front group. I applaud this wholeheartedly and agree with the OP on the funding "issue".

Thanks for sharing this!

10. You're welcome.

9. K&Fn'R! nt

11. K & R

The same people who wants to "tax" their way to wealth is the ones bitching about the Clinton Foundation, apparently some thinks the Clintons are putting the money in their pocket. It isn't a tax on those who can afford, it is given and in turn the money goes to those in need. What is the damn difference? Just because it has the Clinton name attached does not make it bad. It is time for some to look at those who wants to tax and those who get money and put it in good places to get over their hate of the Clinton Foundation.

13. Amen

[shenmue]

12. Yep

[postatomic]

Great compilation and excellent points. (and I just deleted the Sanders supporters part of this post - staying on point and all)

20. If you don't mind...

I would like permission to steal that. It's a great hammer I'd like to drop on a few Facebook (and more) heads.
