Not funny -- and disgusting. I've been revolted watching how the hard-left bullies are harassing Komen, a breast-cancer organization that has decided to disassociate itself from Planned Parenthood. And now Anonymous has evidently hacked it -- those totalitarians who will not let anybody do or say anything on the Internet they don't like. They are as rigidly hysterical and shrill as the ayatollahs.
The meme here -- that Komen is somehow "running over poor women" is despicable. Just because Komen doesn't want to assist women with abortions doesn't mean they are harming the poor. Quite a few affluent women seek abortions, for one thing. And the really destitute poor do have options that the working poor like me without health insurance don't have. It's really fake propaganda to claim that because one independent nonprofit foundation wants to pursue another program and a different agenda than your favourite "progressive" group that they are "harming" others who are also in an independent nonprofit foundation.
What is outrageous is how the anti-SOPA type Internet mob scene has started up the drumbeat against this organization -- all the lefty gurus like Beth Kantor egging it on in more subtle ways but with the same "message" -- kill anybody who disagrees with the "progressive" agenda, and that includes those opposing abortion.
This social media guru blog was typical of the reaction of the lefty gurus who help bake their ideologies into social media when they do this -- they claim somehow Komen did something wrong in their "media strategy" when what they REAAALLY mean is that they did something wrong merely in defying the "progressive" agenda and not sticking with Planned Parenthood.
If they are really about choice, they have to respect the CHOICE that this free and independent non-governmental foundation made not to get involved with Planned Parenthood while it was under investigation over abortion funding issues.
That is its right. Don't like it? Find another organization or form your own or donate to one of your choice. I also think it's worth taking a closer look at those "health services" that Planned Parenthood really provides. I never see them REAAALY offering such a thing as an ad in the Village Voice offering free mammograms or pap smears.
We all know they're for birth control and abortion referral. And that's the law of the land and that's their choice. But if it is not ours, why do we have to be BULLIED and hacked and harassed into CONFORMISM with the hard left?
Hell no, we won't go!
Further thoughs:
@streetwiseprofessor talked about the harassing of those who oppose "progressive values". Then he said "orthodoxies." Indeed, that's precisely the term. "Smelly little orthodoxies," as Orwell put it.
It's astounding, how self-righteous, shrill and even hysterical the left gets on these cases. All the "Saul Alinsky" methods as the conservatives call them are on parade (and they do have a point).
So they bully and heckle Komen with the notion that they are doing something against their conscience -- "running over poor women" and leaving them in a lurch -- to try to shame them into caving to "progressive" demands.
I have a pack of jackals telling me to "get my facts straight" about Planned Parenthood -- that indeed they do provide generic health care services for women. Well, that's just not true. Perhaps technically they do. But they don't advertise that and it's not their mission -- their mission is to PLAN parenthood -- duh. That means birth control and abortion referral. They should be honest about this and quit the fakery. I'm fairly certain, just based on their profile, their ads, the experiences of others I know, that if I call them up and say I need a mammogram, if I'm not of child-bearing age and birth control material, they won't take me and will dump me or refer me to something else. I'll experiment when I have some free time.
The other "Saul Alinsky"/direct action sort of method is to shame the target with "hypocrisy" charges -- find something else they do that is "inconsistent." Why, you don't drop donations to Penn State, and they are under investigation over the pedophile case. Why, you don't drop donations to Bank of America and they are investigation for...what again? Won't it always be something?
Answer: because those cases aren't related to their mission. Abortion provision is. They get to chose their causes and their moral posture -- just like the shrill, moralizing "progressives" get to.
If the "progressives" want to have some perfectly calibrated politically-correct group, they can form one. But like those who can never be happy with "socialism in one country," they are never happy until they have "uravnilovka," levelling and homogenizing of everybody else to their level, otherwise they are insecure.
Then they sneer that the left raised $1 million for PP because Komen dropped them. Good! Pay for the things you want that fit your ideology, and leave other people alone to do the same.
I think it is hilarious & you are seriously hypocritical. If it is SGK's CHOICE to give grants to whom they want, then why couldn't they say so without having to succumb to political pressure from Republicans demanding they end their relationship with Planned Parenthood? The reason is because it was not about choice. It was about politics. A Republican presented with false accusations about where the funds really go (check your facts cause all abortions are paid out of pocket by the patient, not with government funds and not with SGK funds), who starts an investigation & a new VP who is incredibly anti-choice & already vowed to defund PP. The new VP changes the policies to single out PP, even though the policies clearly indicate they have to pull funding from Penn State & not receive anymore funds from Bank of America if they're staying true to their policies (both under Federal Investigation as well). They claim over & over it was not political, yet the only organization to lose funding was PP? So then their true reason was not because of Federal Investigations, it was really because of a political agenda. AND YES, when you put your own personal political agenda above the health of women people will get upset. I honestly am pleased with how this all has turned out though. Handel wanted to defund PP, instead she just got them $1 million in donations in just over 24 hours. Guess that plan backfired, huh?

Who says SGK "succumbed" to pressure? That's part of the myth of the left, because they imagine that no one can ever be for a point of view unless they are paid for or pressured (gosh, do the progressives project when they say that or just think everybody else is illegitimate but them?!)
SGK can say and do what they wish, just like PP. Why can't they? If SGK wants to cater to Republicans, they get to do that. If they do that because they want to think of their mainstream mass membership, and not lefties and progressives and their whining, they get to do that. It's their call. It's all good. Their new VP gets to pursue the policies she likes without bullying from the likes of you, she was chosen to be their VP, let her chart her course as she wishes.
The "Saul Alinsky" methods are in full review here. The old "let's try to find something that looks like the opposite of what they believe and show how it can be pinned on them" trick. The old "let's find where they are inconsistent and seemingly hypocritical and hammer away at them".
Bank of America? For what? Just because Occupy Wall Street thinks they are evil capitalists? As for Penn State, this is about a single case in which there is a chain of responsibility, but it's a case not related to their mission. Nor is the Bank of America case related to their mission. But giving abortion services under cover of generic women's health IS related to their mission, so they GET TO SHED THAT if they wish. That's all there is to it. Groups can and do pick their way by the light of their mission. You can bang on them and scream all you want, but at the end of the day, you can only go make your own group or take your donation dollars elsewhere and stop harassing somebody who is freely associating just like you.
They've got quite a few people who are only to happy that they shed PP. And I, too, went and "liked" them on Facebook precisely because they had the guts to shed PP. I personally find PP to be a fraud, pretending that it provides generic health services and "helps the poor" when that is really not their real mission. They believe their own propaganda. I'd have more respect for them if they'd shed that propagandistic bullshit. They are not here to serve all women with all health care needs and should cease that pretense. It's also not the case that poor women are somehow left in some sort of life-threatening lurch without them -- that's just sheer unadulterated propaganda. It's why the left cannot be trusted and why these kinds of causes will NEVER get my support because they are about sheer Bolshevism, not real principles.
If PP can get $1 million in donations from people who support their abortion mission and believe their hype about "poor people," then why the hell are they -- and you -- whining like they are some victims of Orwellian persecution?! They aren't. Instead, they are doing the victimizing. Run your own fundraising campaigns, fund what you wish to fund, and leave other groups alone without bullying and harassing them with fake claims of hypocrisy.
The world will not conform to your wishes. Give it up.
