THIS link is NOT working for me: http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2012/02/komen-apologizes-for-recent-de.html
that is the link the Tweets are referencing.
I think perhaps the Komen story may be false (????)

10. So, according to Mitchell's tweet, Penn State MUST BE DEFUNDED

They've painted themselves into yet another no win corner.

6. What about the stem cell research?

7. some rich republican woman in Texas saw the gravy train leaving the station

$400,000 +/year

8. Fine, but Handel needs to step down. The spotlight will remain on this right-wing hack. nt

[n2doc]

9. Not at all surprising. Wonder if they will restore the stem cell funding too n/t

12. Let's see who walks

Among top management.

13. Way Too Little, Way Too Late...... (n/t)

[Spazito]

14. Total bullshit, imo...

A desperate attempt to salvage something that is now beyond salvaging. Their decision to defund PP has brought out so much more that is despicable about this 'charity' that they will NEVER get a penny from me nor any participation in activities they sponsor.

I hope they sink and donations from both individuals and corporations go, instead, to worthy organizations that actually spend the donated money on research to cure cancer instead of 'raising awareness' advertizing and outrageous salaries for their CEO and others.
