Do I need a sarcasm tag? With my sarcasm turned off I say this: I have not donated to this relief effort, or to any other charities, since before November 6. I give my usual tithe to my church and that is it. I haven't even taken tags off of our church's giving tree. I'm not doing this because of my bitterness from the election outcome; I'm simply holding these people to the standards they voted for.

That’s how liberals care. They go to a ritzy concert, and beg other people to give their money so they can use other people’s money to get credit for being charitable.

And Roger Waters sang “Money”.

Is the on-camera crew of celebrities all liberal?

I agree 100%. There are a lot of true patriots there, but unfortunately, they are surrounded by liberals. They need to move further in-land.

I doubt a dime will go beyond the hands of the organizers and entertainers involved. These leftist whine-a-thons have always been a scam.

Don’t you know that these entertainers have a lot more compassion than us ordinary folks.

I think you are missing the point, it is not about the people who suffered in Hurricane Sandy, it is only about all these Scumbag Communist, Adulterer, Charity Fraudsters getting mindless saps to pay for their PARTY, cuz in the end all the money will be spent on expenses, just ask Bon Jovi how the $15 Million dollars he raised for his last charity mysteriously disappeared into his EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

Should I be sorry for supporting Right to Work in Michigan which in effect means Michigan workers won’t be allowed to help in the future?

Other than church, I have one single criteria for charitable giving; if the charity gives support to anyone who voted for obama, I do not give to that charity.

If people want to give to charities for Sandy victims, that's fine. Private donations should drive all of these efforts.

No one has the right to demand that the rest of us cough up money because they did not prepare. No one has the right to demand that the rest of us cough up money to rebuild houses at or below sea level. Sorry.

I completely agree!

Those poor basta**s pay some of the highest takes in the country, at both the state and federal levels. Now, kick in extra for what is suppose to be already provided for?

I was in OfficeMax last week and was asked for a contribution for the teachers? I told them no, the teachers in NY and NJ are some of the highest compensated people in the country, why do they need a contribution from me? Heck, I’m totally disabled, living on an ever decreasing fixed income!

Wasn’t FEMA suppose to be the answer to all our emergency needs. Now, just more da**ed federal hacks drawing a pay check (very large paycheck) and doing nothing.

State “death spiral” visiting NY and NJ next!

Politics aside, I feel as old as sh*t.

Every performer so far is 50+. Many older than that.

Do all the little young pencil di&ks who are texting 666 or what ever to donate $$$ even know who the performers are?

Rock and roll is indeed dead (or getting there).

What do the performers get out of it, inquiring minds want to know? Do they perhaps get paid on paper and then “donate” the funny money to the cause and get a tax write-off? Who pays their costs, which ain’t just spare change for groups like the Stones?

Here by the way where the live stream is:

Look up “Fiddling While Africa Starves” by P.J. O’Rourke. Excellent essay on this kind of event.

It’s all about making “Obama’s Hurricane” better than “Bush’s Hurricane”.

This concert/fundraiser is supposed to be for the victims of hurricane Sandy.

Many of the victims happen to be white owners of oceanfront or oceanview property.

How much of this fundraising do you think these people will get?

NOTHING!

It will all go to the lower income people who didnt bother to get insurance...
