Thanks for re-posting, hopefully it will encourage some others to donate.

I will be traveling all day tomorrow, please post it again if you have time.

Did I say, 'Only liberals need reply?" MS was one of the first respondents and he certainly doesn't fall into the 'liberal' camp. The original post was by Botnst who also isn't a liberal.

A lot more than the envious here and elsewhere could ever possibly give - even if they did give...
All public information.

Just like Algore's pittance to charity was made public.

So you have no cite to backup your claim. I thought so.

No one said you did! I'll repost the first sentence of my post for you, I was commenting on exactly what I stated:

Quote:

You first, felt compelled to make some argument regarding the thread resurrection as being singularly yours!OK!

Now that you appear to have abandoned that argument, you seem to find some fault that MS Fowler’s commentary which did not criticize or disparage conservative contributors should have been considered and included within either my original “a bunch of liberals being critical about how much and to whom conservatives give to rather than the being self critical” or that same group I subsequently described as “respondent fellow travelers”

As in my post I clearly used the words “a resurrected thread” and directly referred to “a bunch of liberals being critical about how much and to whom conservatives give to rather than the being self critical” how the OP who you proclaim “isn’t a liberal” figures into your present objection isn’t clear.

Maybe you’d find more productive use of your energies castigating your like-minded compatriots for failing you by not producing the documentation that would support your thesis as you had originally asked for “Anyone have the details on the study?”, rather than arguing irrelevancies?

What for ever for? He's a public figure with public records on his past charitable contributions - ripe for citing as a well-known example of a non-giving liberal.

Amazingly, you can use the Internet, but couldn't look up Algore's public records of pittance charitable giving.

LMAO!
