They love to talk about how they give so much more to charity than we do. Or why doesn't Ryan himself donate?

Don't make me laugh ... that would actually involve paying money.

Which is a load of illogical Republican bullshit

st. vincent's it is republicans, who were angered that ryan was called out for the phoney photo-op.
there is no reason for liberals to change their giving patterns.

and/or knuckle dragging idiots.

Thanks a lot, lyin' ryan

Sadly, Ryan’s behavior is fairly common. I volunteer in my church’s kitchen and we get a kick out of all the people who volunteer, scrub a pot or two then leave. I wish they would just drop a few buck in the collection plate and let me get back to washing my dishes. Lol

Spoke out against the photo op....

People are getting it confused. The donors are pissed that the President of the charity came out against Ryan and his bullying photo op. Did you all notice that the Pres. of the charity suddenly backtracked on his comments??? No doubt got angry threats from republicans over calling Ryan to task.

the ones that are pulling their donations then? Their poor little Paul's feewings were hurt, so they are the ones taking it out on the poor. It's amazing that they would blame it on Dems, when it's so obvious who the demons are.

The ones who have not donated, do not realize Ryan's people more or less barged in and took over.

To make a donation to the Mahoning County St. Vincent De Paul Society, money can be sent to P.O. Box 224, Youngstown, Ohio 44501.

I wish I could donate now, but don't get paid till the first of the month.

The donate page of the national SVDP website didn't have a field to designate a specific location. I want to thank this place directly.

This is getting real political - the manager of the kitchen has been 'identified' as a Democratic primary voter.

The threats are not coming from the Democratic/liberal it's coming from rethugs because the President outed Lyan Ryan...

I'm sure one won't be forthcoming from Twit n' Twerp (unless of course they can get LOTS OF PUBLICITY).

I'll cover for you until the end of this month.

Thanks for that...Looks like I will have two donations next month, one to the President and one to the soup kitchen, thanks again..
doumo arigatou gozaimasu!

I was poking around for the exact name of the soup kitchen in Youngstown and the online directories were a little inconclusive.

When E.J. Dionne discussed this story on MSNBC, the first thing he said was what good work the St. Vincent de Paul Society does.

After my father died they helped out my mother, and I went to their summer camp for free.

I was 61, still not eligible for SS, and out of work, and my unemployment had run out. I needed help with my rent and they helped me pay my rent that month. I found a temp job shortly after that and was able to continue keeping up on my bills and rent, so they really got me out of a bad situation so I could stay on my feet.

--wanted to donate to the specific soup kitchen that was losing donations.

Bookmarked the thread and will make sure we do in a couple of weeks. The poor should not be made to suffer for stupid, evil politicians.

Thanks for posting this, AsahinaKimi!

Kick!

I couldn't find a website for the society.

because the director disavowed the visit?

with cheese's visit was more hardship on the hungry/homeless!

Picture a Limbaugh conservative snorting at his AM radio because people get food stamps.
Now picture a racist conservative writing a big check to feed poor urban people in Youngstown.
Next add all the Ayn Rand groupies who worry about the hungry to the sum.

If you get zero, I think you're close.

Most of the cash donations (as opposed to food) come from corporations and wealthy, white, older people (ie, Republican voters). I suspect what's hurting the donations is the fact that the guy called Ryan out for washing clean pots, rather than the fact that Ryan was there at all. I also suspect that's why the guy flipped so quickly and retracted his statement. As soon as I read the story a few days ago, I thought the soup kitchen must have some bullet proof form of funding, like from the Catholic Church, which is why the guy felt free to speak out. As soon as he retracted his statement, I knew that wasn't the case.

these SOB Republicans can twist anything and everything to make it the opposite of what it really is.

They pull this crap, now is being spinned against Dems?!?

Republicant "politicians" quit working as politicians 35+ years ago. They are now merely marketeers, usually using tactics of smear or fear. Democratic politicians seem to have awaken to this fact...finally!! And now, when the Dems fight fire with fire, you hear all the Republicants whining and complaining. They are sneaky, sleazy marketeers though, repeating something over and over to make the sale to dimwitted "consumers".

"Antal steps down as president."

Wait for it.

I don't trust any organization with the word "saint" in its name. So, I need to do some research before deciding if I want to donate to them myself.

to this organization and I will add mine.

Last year at Christmas, I couldn't afford the electric bill AND Christmas for my daughter. This organization paid my electric bill (which is also my heat), and the process was not at all intrusive, nor did I have to listen to a "sermon" of any kind. They didn't ask my religion, nor did they impose theirs.

They made sure I had information about how to get additional help within my community and wished me happy holidays.

... were having a hard time affording Chanukah presents.

I'm not saying the response would have been different. I'm just wondering what their policies are.

Their only concern was helping people who were down on their luck. The ones I knew then, and I have no reason to believe it is not still the same, were dedicated to helping the poor working class.
