http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/wp/2012/10/15/charity-president-unhappy-about-paul-ryan-soup-kitchen-photo-op/The head of a northeast Ohio charity says that the Romney campaign last week “ramrodded their way” into the group’s Youngstown soup kitchen so that GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan could get his picture taken washing dishes in the dining hall.
Brian J. Antal, president of the Mahoning County St. Vincent De Paul Society, said that he was not contacted by the Romney campaign ahead of the Saturday morning visit by Ryan, who stopped by the soup kitchen after a town hall at Youngstown State University.
“We’re a faith-based organization; we are apolitical because the majority of our funding is from private donations,” Antal said in a phone interview Monday afternoon. “It’s strictly in our bylaws not to do it. They showed up there, and they did not have permission. They got one of the volunteers to open up the doors.”
He added: “The photo-op they did wasn’t even accurate. He did nothing. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall.”
Ryan had stopped by the soup kitchen for about 15 minutes on his way to the airport after his Saturday morning town hall in Youngstown. By the time he arrived, the food had already been served, the patrons had left, and the hall had been cleaned.
Upon entering the soup kitchen, Ryan, his wife and three young children greeted and thanked several volunteers, then donned white aprons and offered to clean some dishes. Photographers snapped photos and TV cameras shot footage of Ryan and his family washing pots and pans that did not appear to be dirty. Awfully nice of Ryan to come in and rewash some clean pots. Fucking tool!

I'm sure Romney and Ryan fuckin physically volunteer to help the poor all the fuckin time. I'm sure that Romney helps wash dog shit off the roofs of station wagons at the local BMW dealership in Salt Lake. And I don't care that Romney is rich. Kennedy was rich. Many Presidents were rich. It's part of how you get the job for many. It's that he just doesn't have a god damned mutha fuckin clue how the rest of the 99% of America lives nor cares. If you're not rich it's your fuckin fault for being a lazy cocksuckin moron. God damned, borrow the money from your parents and open a business or go to Harvard. What's the fuckin problem slackers?

Facts are the center. We don’t pretend that certain facts are in dispute to give the appearance of fairness to people who don’t believe them. Balance is irrelevant to me. It doesn’t have anything to do with truth, logic or reality. ~Charlie Skinner (the Newsroom)

I wonder if Poppa Moneybags will step up and show the ideologues that making the poor suffer isn't a good expression of your anger...and make up some of those lost donations?
I doubt it...as I heard from someone the other day, over this very issue, "Good. Hunger is a great motivator. This should be happening at more soup kitchens."
My brain just shut down, literally. I had no response.
