Komen founder: ‘The responses we are getting are very, very favorable’

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/02/02/komen-founder-the-responses-we-are-getting-are-very-very-favorable/



The founder of Susan G. Komen for the Cure on Thursday insisted that the public response to her organization’s decision to discontinue its partnership with Planned Parenthood had been “very, very favorable.”

CEO Nancy G. Brinker told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell called reports that the Komen Foundation cut funds for breast cancer screenings a “mischaracterization.”

“We are not defunding Planned Parenthood,” Brinker claimed. “We have three grants that will go on this year and they will probably be eligible for the next grant cycle.”

'Bless your heart' is a polite way to say you are effed up. When I hear that phrase, I wonder if people know how badly they are being dissed.

So when you're doing away with negative comments, then, sure you can honestly claim favorable responses. Plus, they've been in cahoots with Life Decisions International prior to the announcement, so I'm sure they've got their anti-choicer's ramped up to post positive responses.

The more I read about it, the more this thing stinks to high heaven.

She posted a negative comment on the Komen Facebook page, nothing incendiary or profane, just negative. In five minutes, it had gotten eight "Likes." In six minutes it was gone.

she's knows it's bullshit, we know it's bullshit, but the mouth breathing moronic masses who only read headlines, eat it up.
