— Ace I think this is because it's a 501(c) charity, and those donations have to be tracked by law. However, I'm writing to them to ask about this, and if there's a threshold beneath which information doesn't have to be entered, and etc.
I will let you know when I know.
Updated: Ali Akbar at the National Bloggers Club says that he's looking into other options. This is the typical information sought when people fundraise for political campaigns. Under the circumstances, of course, other options might be advisable.
He's inquiring now-- this being a legal thing, he needs to ask his lawyers about it.

I got a link from Michelle Malkin, but still not one from ace?
How did you do that, AllenG? I can't even get registered to comment there.

I think someone else sent it to her. I'm not registered over there, either.

RSM says that he thinks they'll put him back behind bars when it's all said and done. I see him running with an insanity defense and getting away, again.

She says in her post for bloggers to email her their info and they'll get it posted.

If you hit everything, you still only get 84,000 hits. Half of those are about guys named Brett that graduated.
Simply amazing.

I'm mostly just yanking Ace's chain. But there are always the Cob-Loggers who could be updating the "Brett Kimberlin Solidarity Post Dump" list over in the sidebar, yes?
Though I guess they may not be willing (or have been requested not) to touch this. So maybe I won't grouse about it in the next post. Too late for this one.

Yes, I realize that. It happens in a police state. And if he had been shot, absolutely nothing would have been done to the cop busted in and shot him.
Criminals are the enemy, and so are police. They're pretty much the same thing, except one is basicly immune in 99% of the cases.

Wow, let's see how tough you act if, God forbid, you ever get "Swatted", yeesh! Not to mention this guy had kids and a wife. They could have been killed as well. Also, the kids had to suffer the trauma of watching their Dad get arrested.

If and when I get swatted, hopefully it will be legal to kill ANYONE who busts down your door. Especially over a phone call. But that legality wont happen in the US. Although I hear it can happen in Texas.

I donated to many charities over the internet and have never once been asked for this information.
The fact that this website "requires" it made me wonder if it was really some sort of evil phishing scam, despite the fact that it was linked here, at the most trusted website on the interwebs.

We may all be too old to change our minds about things we know. But are you too old to change your mind about things you don't know? I personally have an idea what Patterico would and wouldn't be willing to prosecute. From what I read on his blog, he appears to be a decent if somewhat crotchety fellow. Does that make him a corrupt prosecutor? If so, I can't see it. Mind you, I have seen bad prosecutors and bad prosecutions. Does that mean I analogize those people and those instances to all? Of course not. While we all use prejudice as a shorthand (and by that, I mean "pre-judgment"), we are all capable of a more accurate view when given more information. I for one have enough information about Patterico that I do have sympathy for him. Dare I say, I would be hard pressed not to have sympathy for anyone whose sanctity was unjustly taken away by the police power as exercised by a SWAT team. Given your justified disgust with such events, it would seem that you too could have sympathy for Patterico. At least I hope so.

That would include both public versions posted at guidestar.org OR copies provided on request at the organization's offices - neither of which must include donor information (ie names and addresses - amounts are provided).

501c3's are required to report donations AND the version of the 990 provided to the IRS DOES reveal donations - BUT the version provided
BY THE IRS TO THE PUBLIC should not reveal the donors names and addresses (the 501c3 needs to specify this).

And you whine about being "identified." Fuck you. Nobody CARES who you are. You are the little beetles that crawl out of a corpse after the gas escapes during decomposition. You seek your "first amendment" right to smear and lie and ruin reputations and destroy lives without having to pay the consequences caused by your words.
That ain't the First Amendment, Skippy! The First Amendment says GOVERNMENT can't STOP you from saying, writing, thinking whatever you want. The First Amendment says NOTHING about anyone else having to PAY you for spreading lies, hatred, bigotry and your blithering stupidity.
But please, PLEASE!
Give every nickel you can scrape up to these crooks. Give them your parents' money. Empty out whatever you may have been saving for that vacation or your kids' education (that's a laugh, as if you were gonna pay to have your kids educated). Give every farthing, pfennig, drachma, euro or yen you can dig out of your couch cushions to these crooks.
Let their success be a testament to your nearly criminal stupidity.

To make it easier, I will even highlight the pertinent sections for you. This document can be found at this website.

Now, let's read. Reading is FUN!
(apparently, the algorithm for this site is having trouble comprehending, so I must break it down into separate posts.)

Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations
are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in,
or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition
to) any candidate for elective public office.
Contributions to
political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or
written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition
to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition
against political campaign activity.
Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes.
(continued in next post.)Posted by: The Liberal Grouch at June 06, 2012 03:09 AM (wNpUj)
Now, let's review.
These fuck sticks can be a 501(c)(3) all they want, as long as they
are donating to bloggers who NEVER WRITE ANYTHING AGAINST A POLITICAL
CANDIDATE.
The fact that they exist to support RIGHT OF CENTER bloggers is a prima facie violation of that tenet right there, kids!
You can donate to this "charity" if they support blogs that "get out the vote" as long as they don't say get out the REPUBLICAN vote, get out the ROMNEY vote, or LET'S MURDER THE PRESIDENT, which is a whole 'nother issue entirely.
EVIDENCE OF BIAS in these blogs, supported by this "charity" would be a disqualifying factor.
And finally, the IRS has resources to monitor the "charity" and its activity.
So... you gotta ask yourself.
Do YOU wanna hop into this cesspool of vipers?
I sincerely hope you do, and that you suffer all the misfortune, fines, perhaps even jail time that comes with it.
Please. Sell your car. Donate to this "charity."
DO IT, you right wing idiots. DO IT NOW!
And have a LOVELY day.
