That is no excuse.

Not only is it no excuse, it's not even true. Andy started asking for money in February for his pancreas.

"Not only is it no excuse, it's not even true"

Do THEY even know the truth, anymore? (rhetorical)

DUmmie Malva Zebrina falls on her sword.

50. Didn't Andy know the pitfalls?
Edited on Thu Jun-30-05 04:18 PM by Malva Zebrina

I agree with the poster Amazona. After what has happened here, many have found this fundraiser to be disturbing due to the chaos and questioning it has raised.

Andy was the keeper of the books for Bev Harris. Andy ran for office in his state, and as such, raised funds and had to account for those funds. Surely Andy himself was informed and completely aware of what needed to be done as far a raising funds goes. I find it difficult ot believe that people did not have one inkling as to how to be upfront about the fundraiser, and blithly believe that no one would think the manner in which it was done was questionable.

And, there is still no accounting at all as to how much this fundraiser raised for this cause. Further, someone said on one of the threads at one time that anything that is left over will be used for the cause, or something similar to that. People who gave money to Andy to help him get the needed medical care, may not necessarily want to give to the "cause", you know. People deserve a full accounting, and it is funnyj, but I remember saying the same thing about Bev Harris and her fundraiser on one of those threads after she was tombstoned.

Please, can you tell me how much money was raised? Can Andy? It would do a lot toward helping any further fundraisers -- not only here, but everywhere that people are being asked to donate money. People need to be aware of the pitfalls.

With his typical lack of self-awareness (or awareness about anything), "truthseeker" Rob G posts Signs you are in a personality cult

No replies yet, and guest posts are not being allowed at the moment.

And I was working on a pithy response like "You can't tolerate the questioning of fundraisers by those of your own political persuasion."

They never needed to hire an attorney.

The DUmmiette could have just gone to her bank.

Simple as that.

And besides, a DUmmie "attorney" said that if one goes the attorney route, half an hour, tops.

They are now attacking that person on the thread. Read it again...it's the same old thing.

Better try to save as much of that thread as possible, it may not last. LOCK!, BAN!, DELETE! may soon be making a dramatic comeback at DU.

sfexpat says they raised a little over $51,000. I thought Pitt had said a little over $56,000... but who is counting, right?

Yeah, alas poor amazona and Malva, daring to question the Andyites and the propriety of an unregulated fund drive.

But I've seen many things in my life, and sometimes I've seen a few huddled besieged people break out and vanquish those more, and stronger, than they.

It can happen; anything can happen.

It would seem that these 2 DUers are of some stature over there. They have consistently raised their concerns and objections and have not yet been deleted or banned, to my knowledge.

Certainly a glimmer of hope twinkles in DUmmieland. Perhaps Skinner will rise up and take back his fiefdom from the now dreaded Andyites.

SOP. Attach the questioner.

Two groups over there. One group is on the inside and slings mud at anyone who questions their actions. The second group sticks their fingers in their ears and screams lalalalalalalala ... I can't hear you... you must be attacking a democrat... lousy freeper troll.. Andy is a Saint.... lalalalalala

So.....the DUmmiette thinks that posted messages in DUmmieland, and personal messages blipped to her, about contributions being made, is going to pass as "accounting" for anyone?

Huh?

She needs to provide actual paper receipts, deposit slips, whatnot, not screenshots of messages in DUmmieland.

Did you see Rob G.'s tagline?

"I weep for the intellectual acuity of the American people." -- Bernie Ward"

Did you see Rob G. on the Mother burns rape supect alive thread?

Now why would benburch suddenly start a new thread? Perhaps he didn't like the dissent beginning to break out on the old one?

Rob G. is an example of the nasty trap self-righteous without any sort of objective and honest self-analysis is.

There is no hope of recovery - you cannot take correction from anyone - because you are always right.

9. He might soon need money.

I know he is pretty much broke.

What we raised for his surgery is long since spent on his medical care, and clearly he is in no position to work.

I will check with him (once he is home) and see if he has applied for SSI and food stamps because he certainly ought to qualify at this point. Failing that he ought to qualify for whatever King County has in the way of General Assistance.

I know he is finally getting Medicaid.

His PO Box is on the site, and I'm sure he would appreciate any help, but he hasn't asked for any at this point. (I'm sure money is the farthest thing from his mind.)
Alert


Dirty ben is laying the groundwork for a new round of fund-raising. Well, you have to give them some points for foolhardiness, I suppose.
