this is why this website is bullshit. The most terrible of tragedys is turned into a reason to argue and bicker. You think some family in Haiti gives a shit about your political affiliations when their child is dying in the street because all of the hospitals have collapsed? If you dont find the cause worthy enough to donate your hard earned money then fine, i cant argue that. But dont belittle the terrible suffering of these people already living in the poorest country in this hemisphere. They are people just like you and I.

I had plans to read this entire thread before replying...I got through page 6 of 10 prior to becoming nauseated by the comments of the usual suspects. I have but a few comments to make.

Number one: Give to any organization you trust. I DO NOT TRUST UNICEF!!

UNICEF is the only organization that is OUT OF CONSIDERATION for me.

Politicizing this tragedy is despicable.


However...

The headline should read:

HELL ON EARTH suffers decline in quality of life from 7.0 earthquake.​

Obama will promise US aid so their quality of life is gonna increase thanks to our tax dollars.

Better in our own hemisphere than some middle eastern shit hole where they hate our guts.

Venezuela? Mexico? Cuba?

Bet Harry Reid is breathing a sigh of relief.

"Thank God for Haiti!!!!!"

And here...




BTW, this is a horrible tragedy. Those of us wishing to donate, let us look very carefully that our donations actually get to those in need. Unfortunately, the authorities in that place are known for lining their own pockets first. If anyone finds a good RELIABLE charity, I would appreciate it.

Anybody but UNICEF!

You are far to kind to Mudwhistle. Anyone that politisizes this kind of tragedy is a damned asshole.

I imagine that as soon as facilities are operational to land and distribute aid, it will be coming in from all over the world, as it did in for Mexico City.

why? politics is what made these people so poor. Mudwhistle isn't an asshole. oh,, and just a reminder of how the demons politicized Katrina.. remember?

Really? Name the natural resources that Haiti has today. A nation's wealth is often measured by their natural resources that they have to trade with the world.

People.

you mean nine million people are stupid enough to live in a place with zero natural resources and their government is just fine and dandy? is that what you just said?

You stole my answer!

Don't you mean they were stupid enough to be born there?

Nobody asked to be born anywhere at any time to any parent.

Horrid.

.....who really cares ? I don't. I suppose all of you "compassionate" conservatives will donate your hard earned money to them. Won't you?

Rather than to Jew-hating terrorists...YES!

Don't you mean they were stupid enough to be born there?

lots of people are born in lots of places,, ever hear of "immigration"?

Where? Lots of them try to immigrate and are turned down...though this may make the US give them hardship waivers.

Why not? Haitians can vote just as well as illegal aliens from other countries that hate the US.

Willowranch,

if you care so much do something instead of insulting a former Priest of the Roman Catholic Church. You, like your bretheren Conservatives, are a hypocrit.

You are a braindead, ******* DOG!

Thank you..MSNBC had a spokesperson for the Salvation Army on just a few minutes ago....I have found them to be honest and reliable in the past.

That's true. They have huge teams of volunteers who are trained to mobilize quickly with food and clothing. Money donations should still go to reliable organizations like The Red Cross or UNICEF.

Just say "NO" to UNICEF!!!

So ******* what!!!?? Your party has it's share of crazy bastards too....you think you got some kinda lock on sanity within your chosen poison? Think again!

 

[PatekPhilippe]

I would recommend CARE as Red Cross operational money is about 20% of the donation whereas CARE is only 10%.

 

[Dirk the Daring]

QUICK! What was the name of that video game?

"George Bush hates black people" ???

If that's the most you remember about Katrina, it says volumes about you. The Katrina tragedy didn't get politicized until thousands of black Americans were trapped with no food or water which all unfolded in realtime before the eyes of the world...RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA, the "land of opportunity" where we take care of every other country's woes before our own.

IF its the most I remember about Katrina, its b/c the democrats haven't stopped using it to remind us all of why Bush was as bad president since 2005. Its ok though, this is going into my rulebook; "When a democrat is President, we all sit around and discuss the horrors of the catastrophe, however, when a republican is President, then its 'hey, its been 6 hours, why isn't everything cleaned up yet?'"

btw, it wasn't just 'black' Americans that were inconvenienced during Katrina, there were white and hispanic people down there also.

 

[Rinata]

I'm fed up with Liberals using the poor as martyrs pushing their victim-hood on the rest of us begging for sympathy any chance they get...

Let's see what kind of Goat-**** Obama turns this Haiti deal into.

Do you ever have an original thought in your head?? You are saying exactly what Rush said today.

And a response from you will be ignored.

this is why this website is bullshit. The most terrible of tragedys is turned into a reason to argue and bicker. You think some family in Haiti gives a shit about your political affiliations when their child is dying in the street because all of the hospitals have collapsed? If you dont find the cause worthy enough to donate your hard earned money then fine, i cant argue that. But dont belittle the terrible suffering of these people already living in the poorest country in this hemisphere. They are people just like you and I.

feel all better now? You think some family in Haiti even knows we exist??? people deal with sad news and tragedy in different ways, you don't get to dictate behavior. you think this website is bullshit? you know what your next move is then donchya?

The local news here said to just go to redcross.org and that's
what I did.

Thanks for donating. I know it's tough for many Americans right now but this example is what makes our Nation great...charitable giving in time of need.
CARE only has a 10% operational cost. I'm not sure what the RC is.

I agree.

Who cares if they know we exist? Dealing with sad news by directly disrespecting those affected is unacceptable. If you think otherwise i have nothing to say to you.

thanks for something positive. I hope the money, aid, and people get there asap

 

[Dirk the Daring]

I would recommend CARE as Red Cross operational money is about 20% of the donation whereas CARE is only 10%.

My neighborhood went thru a flood back in '94, we lost our house and most of our possessions. The Red Cross was non-existent, but both the Salvation Army and the United Way were there at every step. Daily meals, cases of water, ice, etc - so whenever something like this happens, b/c I've seen their work firsthand, those two organizations are usually the first ones called.

Agreed , But this guy has pulled this same stunt to many times before, everytime their is an opportunity to add insult to injury, he is "johnny on the ******* spot".
Then a few days latter when he sobers up, he makes some meaningless apology it is past time to put him out to pasture.
