I was wondering when the numbers would come out.
It appears the primitives make Ebenezer Scrooge look like Santa Claus.

Help the Hungry! $15,024 raised so far in the DU Charity Drive. Still time to DOUBLE your donation!
Good news! As of December 29, the members of DU had raised a total of $7,524, which means we qualified for the full $7,500 challenge grant offered by brooklynite! That brings our combined total (donations plus challenge) to a whopping $15,024!
But that's not all! The Board of Directors of Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest) has offered a 100% match for all donations. Which doubles the value of our donations again, giving us an effective total of $30,048!!
GREAT JOB, DUERS!
The Third annual Democratic Underground Charity Donation Drive ends at midnight on December 31. There is still time take advantage of the 100% match from the Board of Directors of Feeding America. Donate now and DOUBLE your donation!
We are facing our worst economic crisis in years, and many Americans are hungry. Every donation helps. Please take a moment out of your day to help those in need. Click here to donate:

My brain's froze right now.
What is circa $7,500 divided by 116,000 primitives?

Roughly.....6 and 1/2 cent each....generous bunch, ain't they.
Awh, what the heck......I'll double their individual pledge.... here's 13 cent.

This, to me, is confusing--although maybe it's just me.

How does an organization that relies upon donations, donate to itself?

How much money did they raise for Barry Not So White and they can't raise a fraction of it for the poor.
Nice.

The primitives raised something like $75,000 for 0bama, but it was slow going, as compared with the $40,000 they raised for Kerrey in 2004, thus again betraying the racism of the primitives, who tripped all over themselves in their rush to donate to a white candidate, but had to be dragged into donating to a black candidate.

$7500. Andyscam did better than that in a matter of a couple weeks.

What's $kammers cut?

That's shameful.
Like some of them couldn't do without weed for a week to help the hungry.

My guess is that in the primitives mind there is some sense of contrived moral outrage that the government isn`t taxing those more fortunate then themselves to do what the charity is trying to do so they are slow to put their money up.
Put a candidate there telling them he/she is going to bleed the rich dry (even when they can`t or won`t) and they will give their last nickel.
It is very difficult to understand the line of reasoning they have.
