Komen Foundation yanks yesterday's "Straight Talk" youtube video by CEO and founder Nancy Brinker



The Foundation has decided "This video is private."

In light of today's apology from KF, I guess that didn't want their stink bomb lying around.

They let the wingnut out of the bag...

Turns out Komen Senior VP Karen Handel is a fundie anti-gay bigot, also.

I've seen lizards with more personality. Maybe the foundation has now learned a valuable lesson - make sure your PR person has a soul.

They support the extreme right wing agenda and then hire an extremist like Karen Handel but withdrawing support for Planned Parenthood was not political.

right. what a joke.

By the way, Nancy, how much money have you made off this organization, in the name of your friend? And if you care so much about finding a cure how could you distribute and sell products that are known carcinogens?
