Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

The Salvation Army in Charleston, S.C., may have to cut back on winter assistance to the needy after spending money from a $25,000 donation, only to learn that the check was part of an expensive hoax. More than a dozen Charleston-area charities received checks from a local armored vehicle company's closed bank account.

Oh, that's bad.

This is pathetic!

This is one of the most heartless acts I have ever heard of.

So many people in need that won't be helped because someone thought it was funny to give an organization that counts on donations to help others a bogus check.

Karma.

OK, I think those sneaky fucks at the SA are pulling a fast one.
What better way to get donations than to pretend they were fucked over for $25k? Think of all the publicity they're getting right now over it!

The prank was pulled by the SA. You can take that to the bank, mother fucker.

And I seriously doubt that 101 would be proud of this prank.


People need to leave other posters names out of headlines.

Are you SERIOUS 101?????

Yep.

People do things like this all of the time.
Remember that old bat crying to Obama on National TV that she didn't have a house? A day later some nice republican gave her a house.
A local family gets their christmas gifts robbed prior to the holiday? No problem, it appears in the paper and generous people throughout the community donate even better ones to them.

The Salvation mother fucking Army is up to no good right now. If I see one of those bell ringing fucks at the supermarket tonight I'm going to stuff their head in that red kettle and "gong" it with a sledgehammer.

That's right bitches, it's time to declare war on the SA.

Why would you feel sorry for anyone who spends money before a check clears? Regardless of their good intentions, their actions in this case are the only thing that caused them harm. Any competent charity would have continued plugging away.

Joe,
I wondered that too, but the story covers it:

Cooper said the check arrived at the busiest time of year for the charity.

"People say why don't you check every check? We have old ladies who send us a dollar and we're talking at this time of year we have anywhere from 500 to 1,000 checks coming in a week," she said.

Why would you feel sorry for anyone who spends money before a check clears?

I think you've lost your mind.

"People need to leave other posters names out of headlines."

It's joke, bonehead.

Besides, shouldn't you be out doin' th' lord's werk instead of wasting yer time on on some godforsaken internet blog?

Idle hands are the devil's playground.

It worked for Rick Warren, didn't it?

I think you've lost your mind.

You can't lose what you never had in the first place.

Damn near spit beer all over th' keyboard.

LOL

I do the Lords work every opportunity I get.

Thanks for understanding that God's work needs to be done daily!

Now, about that bonehead comment....two words for you:

God Bless : )

I wondered that too, but the story covers it:

So what? I read the story. They started spending money as though they had it, and it turns out someone wrote them a bad check. If they have too many checks coming in to verify whether the strangers giving them money are legitimate, then maybe they need to hire another guy to run to the bank.

I think you've lost your mind.

Can't lose what you never had.

Oh, the hilarity and hi-jinks that the elder "statesmen" of the DR can bring. Oh, my aching sides.

I must agree that the Salvation Army should have waited for that large donation to clear.

What is wrong with you. Was that a lame attempt at humor? If it was, OMG, don't quit your day job. The article clearly states that several charities got hoodwinked.

"Investigators said Wednesday that more than a dozen Charleston-area charities received fake checks before Christmas purporting to be gifts from a genuine local company."

Hell it's the second paragraph surely you read some of the article.

Let those lazy slobs freeze!

How am I clueless, Dave?

Did you read the article? Does 101Chairborne's comments in #6 make sense to you? I'm assuming that 101 is being pretentious in the comments about the Salvation Army. But still the vitriol in the statement doesn't sound .... sane. And I'm clueless?
The first portion of the comment shows some reality in that there are people simply out there to take advantage of others. "People do things like this all of the time.
Remember that old bat crying to Obama on National TV that she didn't have a house? A day later some nice republican gave her a house.
A local family gets their christmas gifts robbed prior to the holiday? No problem, it appears in the paper and generous people throughout the community donate even better ones to them."

Lighten up, smiley.

101's comment was a joke and it was funny.

This is one of the most heartless acts I have ever heard of.

Psshaw.

They don't have shit on the people in my home town.

The same people burned down the goodwill and the salvation army store.

Twice.

And the winner of the first DR POSoTD Award goes to...

Wotever farking assclown dreamed this "prank" up.

Spud first suspicion?

Ashton Kucher on a bender.

Just a hunch, mind you.

Be Well.

It's a fucked up trick, but it's pretty stupid on the SA' part to spend money from a check that hasn't cleared yet. Yes, the story said they get a lot of them that time of year, but a prudent person would hold spending that money until after the check cleared.

I agree with that Goatman. They should have waited.

But the point still remains that due to the sick "sense of humor" of one, many people are going to not get the help they need.

Hahahaha Funny joke. Screwing the church is always a good thing

Jasonsmiles? You know who else always smiles? Retards.
They also drool a lot. Does Jasondrool too?

Don't mind Airhorn, Jason.

He's kinda like the DR's version of Yosemite Sam

Only you know, without all the self control and language skills.

Not to mention basic hygiene sense.

^_^

Be Well.

How rare it is to find agreement with Chair but I think he may be correct on this one folks.

This story really smells like a sympathy scam. For one thing they are announcing how many of their programs and services will need to be cut back because of this supposed bogus check.

Well what were they going to do before this check was donated?

I have had personal dealings with Salvation Army that makes me very leery of what they say.

I would take anything SA says with a huge grain of salt and double triple check the facts before coming to a conclusion.

Would not be surprised if they get many bogus checks from people who are annoyed by those ringing bells at Christmas Time!

They've got a cool band, tho.

Once again the DR Rtards come down on the side of evil. With the exception of Lisa (who tried to stand up for one of her flock but got hit in gob by said sheep), the usual suspects are acting like the stereotypical heartless bastards we all suspect they are in real life.

Sad bitter little sphincters.

That's why I have no sympathy for President Hope and Change.

No, you are just a hateful, spiteful neo-con with an attitude. You just had to slip that one in like it really had anything at all to do with the subject at hand. Face it wisgod, you'd leave your own mother out on the porch if she couldn't afford the rent. When have you ever had a positive word to say about anyone?

#28 The SA is a church?

w is a troll dont give him the time of day much less respond to his crap

In many states, deliberately writing a check on a closed account may be charged as a felony. I would hope that there will be an investigation, but for cash strapped law enforcement, probably not.

That's why I have no sympathy for President Hope and Change.

Right, because you're false prophet, Bush, kept a balanced checkbook. Riiiiight.

You're simply retarded.


You're simply retarded.

Is this all you can come up when people jump all over you for making an ass out of yourself?
