you can't make this stuff up. wtf?

[Truthmatters]

This is how the right would have charity done.


They scream that government should not help people and that helping should be done through charities.


Then they proudly proclaim that charity should profit people like this?


Do you like to give money to a charity so they can pay most of the money to someone who did JUST what the charity is trying to prevent?

 

[rightwinger]

Do contributors to the bogus Candie Foundation pay just to keep Bristol from getting banged up again?

Your intense interest in Bristol Palin is creepy....

Perhaps rightwhiner prefers kids to have abortions than be informed about abstinence?

yea...especially when you keep most of the money that was supposed to go to "the cause"

Non-Profit Pays Bristol Palin $262,500, Donates Only $35,000 to Charity - E.D. Kain - American Times - Forbes

Bristol Palin has made her first few hundred thousand working to prevent teenage pregnancy. Unfortunately for teen moms, however, Ms. Palin decided to keep most of her non-profit’s funds for herself:

In 2009, Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol joined a teen pregnancy prevention nonprofit called the Candie’s Foundation. Today, the Associated Press reported that the Candie’s Foundation released its 2009 tax information, revealing that Bristol was paid a salary of $262,500.

But a closer examination of the tax form by ThinkProgress shows that the group disbursed only $35,000 in grants to actual teen pregnancy health and counseling clinics: $25,000 to the Mt. Sinai Adolescent Health Center and $10,000 to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy.

I knew there was a lot of money to be made in the non-profit industry, but I didn’t know anyone would so blatantly abuse their position at a supposed charity. For every dollar Bristol gave to the cause, she gave $7.50 to herself.

Her charity, the Candie’s Foundation, also spent $165,000 on advertising. That’s another $4.71 for every dollar given to charity.



Only a Palin could make so much money over getting banged up

as Oddball noted..35K? you're really warped dude, seriously. Jesus, ask your owner to buy you another chew toy....FFS..


How much did you give to charity last year? % please.

 

[kiwiman127]

I bet the Palin lovers contributed a majority of the total contributions to the charity and I'm sure they have no problem with Bristol keeping $262,000 while $35,000 went to the actual intended recipients. It's a win-win!

 

[Luissa]

So what was the money? was she suppose to be paid, or did she keep donations?
I still don't like the girl though. Felt bad for her at one time, now after seeing some of the stuff she has pulled, I think she is spoiled little brat and should go away. Giving a teacher a dirty look for being a teacher, when your grandfather is a teacher, is just trash in my book.

 

[RadiomanATL]

~20% is not most. $260k for a celebrity spokesperson for a year long campaign is pretty cheap.

 

[rightwinger]

She's drawing a salary from the charity, to which she...y'know....gives back an amount which exceeds that which is expropriated from her by FICA.

But her name is "Palin", so nothing short of her living in an igloo and eating penguin poop sandwiches will make fruitcakes like you happy.

Oh really?

Thats how it works?

You get employed by a "charity" to assist teens with their abstinence issues. Charity pulls in $300,000 and you pull $262,000 for all you do

People have gone to prison for less

Actually, the charity pulled in over $1.2 million, paid Palin her salary and disbursed $35k.

Damn...That is even worse

Never knew rightwing charities were so lucrative

It's $35K more than the charity had before hiring Palin. Yup...win/win.

I'd take it.

 

[Truthmatters]

Do any of you defenders of these actions like to have your donations pocketed by the opperators of the charity?


Is that where you want your donation dollars going?



This sounds like a sham organization.

if this was a liberal or democrat I would be appalled and outraged and use it as more evidence of what lying scumbags ALL liberals and democrats are


but

since it's a tea party conservative christian republican I say;

typical of left wing liberal morons trying to make an issue over this

this is a non-issue, folks....nothing to see here...

remember....when a dem does it...it's REALLY BAD

but when a conservative republican does it...DEMS are REALLY BAD

She stole the money from the Charity? Gee, I thought they paid her to work for them. Sounds like a reasonable arrangement to me. But then, I'm a conservative.

If nothing else this is a PRIME example of why you can not leave everything to charity to do.

I really don't know if they are a sham organization or not, but if getting paid by a charitable organization makes it a sham organization, then I suppose you need to start bitching about The United Way, too.

 

[Luissa]

It is better than nothing, and many charities do the same thing. But it does says a lot about her.
I think maybe she shouldn't have taken such a high salary.

If thats how the money gets disbursed...I ain't giving nothing

You seem unable to comprehend that Bristol did not donate shit. She was paid $262K to shill for a charity that only gave $35K for her beloved abstinence

What a crusader

She got paid a salary. That we know. What no one here knows is what she did with the salary.
