Fact Check: Obama Falsely Claims Republicans Think Generosity Is for ‘Suckers’
Breitbart ^ | 08/21/2024 | HANNAH KNUDSEN

Posted on 08/21/2024 12:49:23 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

CLAIM: Former President Barack Obama suggested during his Democratic National Convention (DNC) speech Tuesday that former President Donald Trump and his Republican supporters — or as Obama called them, the “other side” — believe generosity is for “suckers.”

VERDICT: FALSE. Statistically, Republicans are actually among the “heaviest” givers.

Obama — who largely obsessed over Trump during his divisive speech to Democrats on Tuesday night, demonizing him and his supporters with surface level jabs — also attempted to cast the vision of the Democratic Party.

Republicans understand there is a big difference between personal generosity and government handouts. Democrats don’t make any money or gain any power when Republicans make private donations to a wide number of causes. The Democrats are generous with Other People’s Money.

Red states are more charitable than blue states.

Lord, we await your vengeance on Obama.

Generosity? Like generously stealing untold billions of dollars from US families to fund overseas wars that enrich MIC companies and kill our children? Like generously helping yourself to our tax dollars to pay for college students loans? Like generously stealing our future…

“He drove me crazy daily”

Me, too. Even worse, I could not believe people liked that egotistical, mean, rotten scumbag with his horrible English inflections, annoying whistling noise and inability to go off teleprompter.

Conservatives help their fellow man because they believe in God and doing the right, ethical, kind and generous thing.

Liberals don’t help because Government is their God and they believe Government will provide everything people need.

it’s plenty easy to be ‘generous’ when you are using taxpayer dollars to do so...

“The Democrats are generous with Other People’s Money”

Bingo. Communists can’t survive without handing out more and more free stuff to buy votes. Kamala is going to be America’s Hugo Chavez if she wins.

Remember that was when we had all sorts of videos of kids in school singing odes to Obama. Your cousin's kids probably learned that crap at school.

Here's one to turn your stomach once again.

You'd catch glimpses of proud parents watching their kids adoring Obama.

Conservatives are much, much more generous with not only their money, but also their time, to help the poor and needy vs. the Left/Democrats.

The lie factory of the Democrat Party continues unabated. Did reporters break in between speeches to point out this wasn’t true the way they falsely “fact checked” Republican speakers?

That’s why conservatives (and libertarians) are more generous in giving to charity than liberals, right?

Someone tried to pull the "socialism is sharing" bs on me the other day. I gave him a cookie and said that was sharing. Socialism was me being forced to give all the cookies to the mayor who would then decide who should have any cookies. The mayor is currently being investigated for "sharing" all the town contracts with his "friends". Asked if he thought he would get even a crumb.

Pointed out that it would result in my not getting any more cookies because, why would I? So we now have a cookie shortage. Asked him what would be the end result.

After taking him through several more steps that ended with everybody who had not already left being forced to work for the mayor for what ever hiz dishonor decided was "their fair share" he decided that maybe he should look into it a bit more.

Nope.

That would still be Woodrow Wilson.

Maybe in this century.

“VERDICT: FALSE. Statistically, Republicans are actually among the “heaviest” givers.”

Annnd.....let’s not forget how many tax cheats Obama had in his administration, thus proving that ... forget charity, the Democrats don’t even believe in paying their fair share... while demanding that “others” do.

It’s not “generosity” when it’s taken by force of government.

I still believe that's why the Democrats fought so hard during George W. Bush's administration to use the cover of "separation of church and state" to get rid of what they called "faith-based charities." They got rid of "soup kitchens" for the poor and homeless that were run by Christian charities because they wanted those private donations to be made to government programs instead. Community "food banks" popped up in their place.
