“Thinking” doesn’t mean flat out dismissing the statement of one side and taking the other as gospel. Debbie responds to your link in the comment section of her original article (March 19, 2010 at 3:26 pm). She basically writes it off as a non-response.
Fraud or not, it’s good that this gets looked into. Donors and veterans alike deserve that. At the very least it seems some funds could have been put to better use. At worst - well, they’re done for.
“dismissing the statement of one side and taking the other as gospel”
Good. Glad to see that everyone hre has an open mind.
How many hundred posts were there last night condemning Hannity for being a fake, taking trips on donor’s money, scamming the public, wasting funds on his children traveling with him....
That is an open mind?
The smart posters were the posters who said “Lets wait and see the facts and the response.”
It would be generous to say that 2% took that position last night.
Suites and luxury SUVs are salient facts. What would be the response if Maher or Rosie faced accusations of this kind?
The problem with Debbie’s screed and her response is that she’s writing from a position of ignorance. She’s assuming you can give unlimited amounts of money to active duty service members without any negative repercussions for those service members. She doesn’t understand how the DOD operates and it makes her look kind of stupid.
