Mike Pence To America: Trump Never Said Those Things He Said (He also tried to convince everyone Hillary Clinton is the really offensive candidate in the race.)

....Public and Private charities operate under significantly different rules. Public charities like the Clintons request donations directly - and then forward them directly to the Charity. They do not create or operate endowments that only serve to take a bigger piece of the donations and keep them away from those they are meant to serve. Originally Posted by Asfaloth54

You are correct that public and private foundations operate under different rules. Indeed, the regulations governing a private foundation are signficantly stricter. That's precisely why the Clinton Foundation was set up as a public charity – so Slick Willy and hildebeest could get away with more corruption!

Btw, you clearly don't understand how endowments work. They typically have LOWER overheads and take a SMALLER slice of donations/grants, not a bigger one. Private endowed foundations are the ones who act primarily as a conduit, in contrast to the Clinton Foundation model where a vast operating staff is hired to run every "charity" from A to Z.

It wasn't a lie, asshole. Charity Navigator refused to rate the Clinton Foundation from April 2015 until last month, when (unbeknownst to me) they succumbed to the relentless pressure of Clinton's thugs and agreed to rate it again.

Yeah, I have the integrity to acknowledge this. Do you have the integrity to acknowledge I was correct for 17 months? Or would you rather lie and call me a liar? Originally Posted by lustylad

You are the one using them, not me

I merely gave examples of rating failures

You ignored the questions regarding what is known by you of their procedures Originally Posted by nevergaveitathought

I haven't ignored your self-serving end around. I asked you if you had any credible evidence to impugn the ratings supplied by either the AIP or CN, and your response was to change the subject to Wall Street rating services. And you provided no evidence of any rating service failures - only your unsupported opinion. I'm afraid you'll have to do better than that.

I know absolutely nothing about the specific procedures of the AIP or CN. The reasonable default position therefore is to assume their practices are valid until someone presents credible evidence to the contrary. You have had ample time to present any evidence that a reasonable person would consider, and yet you haven't. Why is that? You seem like an actual adult, which is refreshing amid the detritus of booger-eating Neanderthals that people this board.

All you have to do is present valid, objective evidence that AIP and CN employ bad practices in their ratings. Of course, you'd then have to ask 'lustylad' why he claimed that Charity Navigator was the 'gold standard' of charity rating agencies.

And still, you have nothing to say about your original claim that Charity Navigator is the absolute best rating agency for charities. Back-tracking?

Are you seriously this ignorant as to how 'sources' work??

'Correct the Record' is not the 'source' of my claims about AIP and CN. The 'sources' are the actual websites of AIP and CN - which claim that the CF is among the most ethical and giving charities they know of. Can you offer any refutation of the claims made by either AIP or CN?

So far, this is just you pretending to win an argument you are apparently too dense to understand - or you're just being disingenuous. Are you running for office?

Your whining about Correct the Record is equivalent to arguing that "Hitler once said the sun rises in the east. That means the sun rises in the west, because I hate Hitler and Hitler lies!"

That's a childs argument.

That might raise some awkward and uncomfortable questions for you, right Ass-sloth?

And why won't you address the substance of my posts #45-46? Is it because you're not smart enough to rebut my arguments?

First - it's Breitbart. Just as much of a conservative shill as Rachel Maddow is a liberal buffoon.

You might as well 'support' the argument that the Holocaust never happened by quoting Mein Kampf.

Further, his 'evidence' comes from 'scores of angry Haitians'. Yes, when I want the facts on corruption, I always consider the unsupported rantings of angry people first....

For his claims to be true, both the American Institute of Philanthropy and Charity National would have to be committing fraud in their claims that the Clinton Foundation gets more money to the people in need than over 90% of other charities. No one can support that claim. Can you? Or do you let Breitbart do your thinking for you?

Arguments are won when honest, non-partisan or bi-partisan sources agree. Liberals and Conservatives sticking their tongues out at each other with their favorite biased pundits is a fools game. Can you do better than this?

Clinton Foundation critics revive scrutiny of Haiti failures in hurricane aftermath

A small group of Haitian-Americans gathered outside the New York City offices of state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman Thursday to protest his refusal to look into the Clinton Foundation's finances. The same group, known as the Committee to Mobilize Against Dictatorship in Haiti, has held several demonstrations throughout the campaign in an attempt to highlight the foundation's failures.

Donald Trump brought up the bungled Haiti relief efforts during a campaign rally on Tuesday, arguing foundation donors "have seen the Clintons pave the way for their investments."

"In one deal, hildebeest set aside environmental and labor rules to help a South Korean company with a record of violating workers' rights set up what amounts to a sweat shop in Haiti," Trump said at the North Carolina event. "The facility has produced only a fraction of the jobs it promised and faces reports of wage theft. People are asking: where did all the money go?"

The foundation promised it would one day create up to 60,000 jobs for northern Haitians while revitalizing the country's flagging garment industry. As of September 2015 — three years after the park was completed and officially opened for business — it was home to just 8,648 jobs, according to a generous estimate from a local newspaper. Other estimates continue to place the number of jobs in the Caracol complex around 2,000.

When the Caracol Industrial Park finally opened for business in October 2012, hildebeest and Slick Willie the Perjuring Sexual Predator were joined by celebrities like Sean Penn, Ben Stiller, Donna Karan and Richard Branson for a star-studded ceremony that hailed the complex's opening as the dawn of a "new day" for Haiti. But the park has never come close to fulfilling those expectations. (The Washington Examiner)

You'd be the partisan hack citing "Correct the Record" as a source to sustain your POS "opinion", ass-sloth, and it's a fact -- not an "opinion" -- that "Correct the Record" is a partisan propaganda wing of the Clinton political machine; hence, substantively worthless as justification for any rational "opinion".

BTW, ass-sloth, according to their 2014 returns, only 6% of the Fundation's funds was spent on anything like "charity".
