I will take COA's advice and help drain the NPO swamp. I am reporting them to the BBB and the IRS. If anyone else wants to join in:

The BBB doesn't do dick. I wouldn't even both with them.

As for the IRS, at best, they could have to change their filing status.

There's really not much TO do, other than spread their name among friends and ensure you never donate to them.

Ultimately, it's probably good that a few hundred or even thousand active people aren't sufficient to bring down an entire organization by force because the organization did or said something they didn't like. There would be no Starbucks, HobbyLobby, Chick-fil-A, Facebook, Hooters, etc.

But the BBB will ultimately do less than even just telling your friends. I used to work for a company that the BBB approached and actually offered to change a grade to an 'A' in exchange for money. They might be a bigger fraud than any of the 'F' grade companies in their database.

Fair enough. I already see quite a few charity database websites beating the shit out of "charitable humans" under their comments sections, so hopefully that does some damage.

Yeah, no one is buying what you're selling here. Pretty obvious what your intentions are.

As for the second part of your statement, you're comparing someone who willingly voted for a blatant racist presidential candidate (an action), vs a shitty 501c NPO. Grasp for straws much? You are touchy when it comes to criticism of the GOP, brings teh lulz.

The NPO commited an action too, no? Apparently the tweet doesn't count .

You also haven't even mentioned the GOP, so I am not sure how I am touchy about the GOP. I have trashed the GOP a good amount, which is more than you can ever say about anybody or anything that leans left. You can't even condemn this non profit lmao. It's not my problem the self proclaimed virtue king COA doesn't think my criticism of the right is genuine enough. Nice straw-man fail. That's not even the point though...

The thread is literally titled "disgusted with progressives," where posters have posted numerous examples of the idiocy, lunacy, and hypocrisy coming from modern day "progressives." I am sorry your insecurity got in the way and you thought I was directing this at everyone (including you) who leans on the left. I have acknowledged more than enough on this site, that there are enough idiots on both sides.

And no I am not making that comparison. I am pointing out your inability to think outside the realm of black/white. If you think tying a POS non profit to an entire group of people (which I wasn't, but I will let your insecurity get in the way for arguments sake) is idiotic; then calling 58 million people bigots for voting for somebody you don't like is also idiotic. I know you think very highly of yourself for god knows whatever reason, but you don't get to decide when a broad generalization is ok/not ok, because it fits your narrative.

Wow, a lot to unpack here in your rant. I'll try and keep this brief.

First off, I guess calling the obscure NPO you found a dumb tweet from shitty, means I'm not condemning them. LOL, ok. I'll make it easy for you, their tweet was asinine and showed a complete lack of empathy. That better now? Again, way to continue your touchy narrative.

Progressivism - In the 21st century, progressives continue to embrace concepts such as environmentalism and social justice.[SUP][1][/SUP] Social progressivism, the view that governmental practices ought to be adjusted as society evolves, forms the ideological basis for many American progressives.

I'm unaware of anyone confusing a social progress for conservative political ideals.

Link to me calling Trump voters bigots? I said they knowingly voted for a known bigoted political candidate, but I guess that doesn't fit your narrative. LMAO continue the hypocrisy please.

Antifa are not anarchists. They believe in state-sanctioned censorship of whatever they deem hate speech.

If they believe in state-sanctioned anything, or even any justification for a governmental structure to exist at all, they're not anarchists.

I'm make sure to proactively condemn any and every dumb tweet from organizations I have never heard of, or affiliate myself with in the future. That make you feel better bud?

To highlight my point again, you're defending things going on the current day political climate by trying to juxtapose a tweet as being equal to our president not condemning a terrorist. [using this as an example as you're trying very smugly to align my not coming out in my posts as condemning the dumb tweet. Recent political events from our president being criticized for not condemning a terrorist and a hate crime I think you see as hypocrisy. That is at least the way you're coming off. They're not the same. Do you realize that? Based on reading your posts in the Political boards, I'm not sure you actually do.


As for the second part of your post. I didn't take ball and go home. I'm still posting, lolfail. As for my post, I'd love to continue to hear ppl justify why voting for trump was a moral thing to do. That's like buying a Rapistfucker jersey but saying you don't support rape. Buying a Ray Lewis jersey, but saying you don't support murder. That is hypocrisy. LOLFAIL for not seeing that.

Damn! COA taking some Ls in this thread.

Sure, great. I will make sure to proactively trash the GOP even when they aren't brought up. Does that make you feel better little guy?

As for your first paragraph:

- More straw man from you, I already stated the president should have condemned harder and completely botched it all with his cluster fuck press conference. Keep reaching.

-No I am not. Again, do you not realize what this thread is about? You're letting your insecurity get in the way. The tweet was another example of the pile of shit that comes from "modern progressivism." I am sorry you are having a hard time coming to terms with this, because you thump yourself was as a morally progressive god.

-I pointed out your inability to think outside of the realm of black/white and your response since then proves my point. You still don't get it. Calling 58M people bigots, because they voted for trump is as idiotic as tying that tweet to everyone on the left. I am not sure how many times I have to tell you that I wasn't tying everyone on the left to that tweet. Dial down the emotion and perhaps you will realize that. Based on your political posts I doubt you will ever realize it or choose to realize considering how hard headed you are.

-Also lol at you calling anyone smug. Take one look at your posts in the cavs/Browns threads, or your recent holier than thou posts regarding guns and it doesn't take long to realize you're full of shit calling anyone smug.

Second paragraph:

-You sure left for a long time. Glad to have you back.

-The rest of this is 100% bullshit. You asked me to provide evidence and I did. You can't even admit you said it and instead you back pedal to justify your logic. I get your logic. We had this argument during your implosion after the election, so I am not trying to revisit it, but you still can't comprehend (or refuse to) that there were legitimate reasons for people to vote against Hillary.

Ok, you know that the left, because of the far left, is in trouble when MSNBC (morning joe and company) is making fun of antifa and the black block and some other groups.

One of the questions that Joe asks is "who is running Berkeley and why can't you protect free speech?" is a valid one.

Mayor of Berkeley trying to get the college to not have their "free speech" week which is gonna bring Milo back and possibly Coulter. Instead of blaming speakers maybe you should protect your city moron.

My insecurity has nothing to do with this. I'm pointing out how stupid your example was. You had to resort to finding a no name NPO with a liberal bias to illustrate your narrative. You're trying to make a point from an obscure reference.

No you didn't. You didn't like my post, so you put a false label on it. Allow me to retort using same tactic.

Not liking Hillary is not an excuse for the abomination we have as the president of the united states. Do you think we're better off with Trump? Looking back, was voting for Trump a logical, rational and decent thing to do?

First I'm hearing of this. I would think it has more to do with the white nationalist rally they tried to have in Berkeley this Sunday and less to do with Coulter and Milo. Trying to avoid another terrorist attack, but the messaging as to why isn't getting through.
