even with their own moneyThe Link "Talk about putting your money where your mouth is. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton texted a $10 donation to flood relief efforts in Pakistan on Wednesday, saying she is leading by example and pressing Americans to donate money."
I nominate this thread as one of the most retarded of all of the daily links from blogs we get here on the board. She gives $10 to charity- and that's not good enough for a guy who probably gave nothing. Oh man..
She's broke. I've seen estimates that Chelsea's wedding cost 2-3 million dollars and, afterall, what has Pakistan done for her lately.
mcbrett, are you serious...? As posted above, she dropped well over a million $$ on her daughters coronation in the middle of "the worst recession since the great depression" and she thinks texting $10 for flood relief is leading by example...?! You are as tone deaf to this as Hillary and the First Lady, partying it up on the Costa del Sol, are.
Uhmmm, McBrett? You know that no one has a problem with someone choosing to give their own money away, whether it's $10 or $10,000,000. It's taking away our money to give it to someone else that causes us to use the "S" word. You do know that, right? I mean, you're just pretending to be ignorant for satirical effect, right?
In the linked article Hillary stated that she was leading by example, by giving $10 to Pakistan relief while at the same time spending millions on her daughters wedding. If you don;t see the contradiction, I can't help you. Actually no one can.
Some of u righties must live boring lives if this is your outrage of the day. Get a life you self righteous jokers
Get off her back. She is setting the example of donating a significant part of a hundred thousandth of a percent of one's money to a worthy cause and then telling people about it. By following her example, we can hope to raise a median donation of one penny per thousand households. Edited for smiley.
You really have to have an extra heaping of douche on you to dog on HRC for this. People these days respond to text-based giving campaigns, and this just an advertisement of a new one. What's the harm?
$10 was the standard donation that could be made through the text donation system. She was just demonstrating that you can donate by texting, and $10 is what is donated through that method. She wasn't intentionally donating chump change when considering her massive personal fortune.
