I didn't realize that Komen foundation also does not support stem cell research.
what the fuck? how can you be for a cure and not support stem cell research? I don't get this.

Yeah, I noticed that on their website. I think if you looked closely a lot of this was probably apparent for a while. They just haven't forced the issue in a public way before now

I wasn't paying attention. I didn't ever give them $$ and I had no idea this was their agenda.
Man.

No, me either. Because who would think? You don't look for a right-wing agenda in a cancer charity, you know? Except now I will.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Per this summary of the mess at DailyKos, SGK *did* support stem cell research, most recently giving $12M/year in grants, until this past November. Either they were a lot quieter about it or the former grant recipients were, so it just slipped under everyone's radar until this week.
But, yep, hell yeah they used to be for a cure and vigorously support stem cell research, just not no more.

There have been a number of times in the past that I sponsored friends in their races. I want to believe this is going to dramatically change their fund raising, but it is more likely that those that applaud their agenda will make up the difference.

Apparently there's a Canadian documentary opening next week that addresses all the problems with the SGK foundation.
