Sarah. Todd, Bristol weigh what combined? Four hundred fifty pounds? That's tens of thousands of water purification tablets. It's hundreds of tarps. It's thousands of bottles of medicines. It's thousands of tubes of monistat (which is a top three need). It's tens of thousands of anti-malarial pills.
Those are the things that are needed. Those are the things that save lives. Pictures of Palin or sean Penn accomplish nothing but publicity.
You are an idiot.
You’ve got a lot of competition, but that may be the stupidest post I’ve ever seen.
Ding—ding—ding! We have a winner for
THE STUPIDEST POST OF THE YEAR!!!!
The Palin's didn't send pictures of themselves to those Haitians, they went there in person to show their support for them, of course people with PDS don't understand that.
Oh how naive you are. Their presence there will bring in 100x the response and supplies of their body weight.
When the popularity of relief to Haiti subsided. People like Franklin Graham and his ministries are there. And the Grahams know how important Sarah’s presence there is needed.
Do you know what Samaratians Purse does every December?
Guess not or you would’nt have made that remark.
During the Fall, hundreds of churches and individuals prepare shoe boxes full of gifts for children all over the world that would normally receive nothing for Christmas.
Volunteers travel to the Graham HQ in North Carolina to pack the boxes, other volunteers travel with the delivery groups to hand out the gift boxes.
Educate yourself next time.
“I know from experience that what they need is medicines and water purification tablets”
Sure. But how many people are donating money or supplies for Haiti a year after the disaster? For many donors, Haiti is old news.
How many pounds of relief supplies will be donated delivered or paid for by donations for Haiti spurred by publicity? Calling attention to a cause or to people in need is how famous people use their fame to help others.
Sarah's visit to Haiti will lead to a surge in donations, just as her appearance at political events leads to surges in support for selected candidates.
When was the last time Bill Clinton was in Haiti? Sarah was in Haiti being photographed in the refugee camps, those photographs being flashed around the world, showing the desperate situation of the people, while Bubba was usurping Barry at the WH briefing room?
Sean Penn- he has no similar star quality. How much has he raised for his causes? His infamous photo trying to bail out a leaky boat to deliver “relief supplies” in New Orleans- led to ridicule. But at least he tried, even if he is an idiot.
Publicity helps a good cause and leads to donations that buy those medicines and supplies.
That's why Moochelle and Barry spent some family vacation time visiting refugees in Haiti and using Air Force One to deliver supplies...
Oh. Wait.
