I wrote about Rob Diamond<\/a> a few weeks back when he criticized Republicans daring to have troops<\/a> in their audiences. Today he’s complaining that Glen Beck is stealing from military charities over at the Huffington Post<\/a>;<\/p>\n

What is actually happening — and what is so obviously wrong — is that the rally is not actually raising money for SOWF [Special Operations Warrior Foundation]. SOWF is raising all the money to pay for the rally.<\/p>\n

Don’t believe me? Just read the plain-as-day, italicized font on the SOWF website:<\/p>\n

All contributions made to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF) will first be applied to the costs of the Restoring Honor Rally taking place on August 28, 2010. All contributions in excess of these costs will then be retained by the SOWF.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s weird, I thought. I give $100 to SOWF and it goes to Glenn Beck first, college scholarships for children of deceased special operators (maybe) second? Why would Glenn Beck be using a charitable organization, whose mission it is to provide college scholarships to the children of deceased special operators, as the financing arm of his “non-political, non-partisan” rally? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is that really what it says, Rob? Is that how they taught you to read at Annapolis? Do you think that they meant ALL of the costs of the rally, or did they mean that they were going to recover the costs of their representatives going to rally and sleeping in hotels, paying for gas and actually eating – or do you expect them to sleep on sewer grates for their stay? <\/p>\n

Permits in DC cost everybody money, whether they’re a charity or not. How do you expect them to pay for it? The rally is billed as a non-partisan, non-political event and Beck is just one of the speakers who will draw the donation money.<\/p>\n

Do you really think that greedy-ass Beck, who you admit makes $18 million a year, is going to sit by the pot and count out his share of donations. “One for me, one for them”.<\/p>\n

Rob claims that he’s a fellow of the Truman National Security Project. The mission statement of the Truman National Security Project says; <\/p>\n

The Truman National Security Project is a national security leadership institute, the nation’s only organization that recruits, trains, and positions a new generation of progressives across America to lead on national security.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess if Diamond is the type of whiney, whitebread, illiterate crybaby that Truman National Security Project is producing, they can’t be spending much time on national security policy.<\/p>\n

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation is now serving as a financial front man for the right-wing, Fox News demagogue that is Glenn Beck. This so-called “rally” has nothing to do with SOWF’s stated (and noble) mission of giving college scholarships to children of deceased servicemembers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Really? Why would you want to sabotage a worthy charity with your hyperbole, Diamond? <\/p>\n

Actually, The Special Operations Warrior Foundation<\/a> is one of the most efficiently managed charities;<\/p>\n

We are proud to announce that the Special Operations Warrior Foundation has earned its fourth consecutive 4-star rating for its ability to efficiently manage and grow its finances from the nation’s leading charity watchdog group, Charity Navigator. Only 7% of the charities rated by Charity Navigator have received at least 4 consecutive 4-star evaluations, indicating that Special Operations Warrior Foundation consistently executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way, and outperforms most other charities in America.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To date, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation has provided over $900,000 to wounded special operations personnel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Those scum bags.<\/p>\n

I’ve only read two posts written by Diamond at Huffington Post – he comes off as a petty little creep. And a hack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
