Reply #4: I'm trying to see what the problem is here.

This particular Edwards non-profit never stated or made the claim that its donations were intended to fund things like scholarships for poor students in the first place. But the article is written to make it appear that something nefarious was going on: "Unlike a sister charity created to raise scholarship money for poor students -- the main beneficiary of the center's fund-raising was Edwards himself, federal tax filings show." Also, the donations were not tax-deductible; wouldn't the problem be if the donations were made tax-deductible?

Hit. Piece.
