Watchdog Group Destroys GOP Conspiracy Theories By Giving Clinton Foundation High Marks

to be fair, Trump's charitable donations are--oh, wait. we don't know, because he refuses to release his tax returns.

Republicans, with the help of the media, have spent the last month painting the Clinton Foundation as a criminal – even evil – organization the serves no purpose other than to benefit the Clinton family.

“It is now clear that the Clinton Foundation is the most corrupt enterprise in political history,” Donald Trump recently said. “What they were doing during Crooked Hillary’s time as Secretary of State was wrong then, and it is wrong now. It must be shut down immediately.”

This isn’t just shameless political posturing by Trump, but it’s a flat out lie.

A report published on Thursday by Charity Navigator gives the Clinton Foundation some of the highest possible ratings on both the charity’s finances and its transparency. They give the foundation four out of four stars and a score of 94.75 out of a possible 100.

Appears we are seeing the same tactics the Right Wing used to take down ACORN. Did hundreds of hours of volunteering for our North Side chapter. Now with them out of business,the crime rate in that area has gone nuts.
.
This saying has always proved to be fact,"Empty belly means empty Head",think about it.

What really POed me was,tons of conservadems joined with the Rethugs to put the final nail in the ACORN coffin.

Hear is another false statement that circled at the time,well,there are many many other social services groups that will serve this area,and they will not be politically beholding to the Liberals. Meaning mostly Caucasian Right Wing Church Groups.
