Reply #14: The Red Cross has been pulling stuff like this for a while now

It's a real shame too, but this is emphatically not the first time the Red Cross has been a political adjunct of the Republican Party. Their work during Katrina was um, not to be copied, IMHO. Then there's the whole stockpiling of donated blood after 9/11.. just tons of issues.

Edit: On second thought, this is like with the whole Foley page scandal: if this is what brings people like you to see what they really are, after hoping for the best for so long, then I'm glad it's this straw that broke the camel's back. I'm no expert but there must be many worthy, less politically tilted organizations...
