I have an American Legion bar token I could send.  No, wait, that's worth something good.  Forget it.

I'm still a little stunned at the $17,000 required.  What is all that money needed for?  Salaries?  Ask the Huffpo writers about that.

Will, you've been reduced to internet begging for your very subsistence.  You're a father now.  Act like a man.  Worthless POS.

8. Six words

That was a long time ago

Seriously. One mistake six plus years ago?

9. Well, with that the straw met the camel.

Others may feel differently, though TO's difficulties may reflect a broader opinion than just mine.

20. I know a person with an ax to grind when I see one

Because I don't see you criticizing the NYT, WP, WSJ, Fox News, or any of the many others for lying through their teeth for years. No, you jump on this thread to criticize one reporter who inaccurately reported something years ago like you think you have earned a Pulitzer Prize for your hard hitting investigative journalism.
 
Of course, you do not report on the ongoing articles from Truthout concerning BP and the Gulf, Afghanistan, Wikileaks, Obama's whole term because you haven't read them, busy as you are being fixated on whether or not some reporter once predicted Rove's imminent indictment. While it didn't happen, it sure should have, but it is now 2013. No one blames anyone at Truthout because Rove isn't in jail. Even if one of their reporters once felt certain he would be.
 
Don't you feel a lot like yesterday's news?

23. I suspect you see what you are willing to acknowledge

I have no interest in supporting TO. I don't like being presented with appeals to support Truthout.
 
It's been that way for quite some time. Drunks, drug users and editors who couldn't filter out the influences of both left me disaffected. It's been that way for quite sometime.
 
This one just happened to make through the network of TO related entries on my ignore list

Hell, if $17,000 would get the truth, the absolute truth and nothing but the truth out.....I'd dip into savings and pay the whole bill myself. If billions of dollars spent every year on news reporting doesn't get the truth out, I certainly don't see $17,000 doing it.

Well, the fund-raiser started about noon on Thursday.

There's about three more hours to go.

Does one suppose they raised the $17,000?

I would run off to live in a cave if the truth came out.   We cannot handle the truth, it is beyond our comprehension to be given the truth-----then how do we know something is the truth, and not something a spin Doctor put on things.

Because you are an eye wittiness to something does not mean the truth, it simply means what you as an individual interpret the scene according to your expectations.

But then again, none of those other things are asking for $17,000 in donations.
