Main reason I'm linking to this (yet another) article on the SGK \/ Planned Parenthood dust-up is this particularly doltish quote from a Komen official:<\/p>\n

'News of Komen\u2019s decision galvanized many of Planned Parenthood\u2019s supporters. The organization had collected $400,000 in donations by mid-afternoon on Wednesday and hoped the flow would continue long enough to replace Komen\u2019s entire annual grants of $700,000, Ms. Laguens said. Komen supporters accuse Planned Parenthood of milking Komen\u2019s decision to generate a fund-raising bonanza.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are they going nuts?\u201d [Komen board member and lobbyist] Mr. Raffaelli asked rhetorically. \u201cAnd the answer is that they want to raise money, and they\u2019re doing it at the expense of a humanitarian organization that shares their goals and has given them millions of dollars over the years.\u201d'<\/i><\/p>\n

So let me get this straight:<\/p>\n

1. Komen has provided "millions of dollars" in grants to Planned Parenthood over the years.
2. Komen has now cut off that money on some goofy investigation charges.
3. Komen is confused that Planned Parenthood is soliciting money from people on the grounds that Komen has cut off a chunk of their funding.<\/p>\n

How is that "at the expense of" Komen, in any way that isn't due to Komen's decision in the first place? #ddtb<\/p>\n
