HNGN: Planned Parenthood's Top Doctor Caught On Video Discussing The Sale Of Aborted Fetus Body Parts

[mistertim]

Holy crap that's stupid, even for Jim Bakker...and that's saying something.

[Larry]

Congress has promised to investigate.  (Whether there's any votes/contributions to be made, here.) 

[TradeTheBeal!]

Satan is basically the catalyst for all the actions of women across all human history. Everybody knows that.

[Corcaigh]

 

Pastor Jim Bakker and the guests on his show asserted this week that Satanic worship services were taking place in some Planned Parenthood clinics

 

 

That changes everything.

 

If religious services are being offered at Planned Parenthood facilities, Congress will be happy to give them whatever money they need.

[AsburySkinsFan]

Looks like the GOP is finally admitting what the adults in the room already knew, but it's always nice to see a GOP witch hunter admit he found nothing wrong in the investigation.

 

 

 

House Oversight Committee chair Jason Chaffetz admitted yesterday that the congressional inquiry into Planned Parenthood’s funding has come up empty, saying in a hearing, “Did I look at the finances and have a hearing specifically as to the revenue portion and how they spend? Yes. Was there any wrongdoing? I didn’t find any.” 

 “Did we find any wrongdoing? The answer was no,” Chaffetz said.

 

Unfortunately, the GOP Witch Hunter still thinks that Planned Parenthood needs a few more dunks in the river to really sort out if there be witches.

Seriously, why even bother to pretend that this isn't just an anti-abortion witch hunt designed to smear Planned Parenthood the same way the Benghazi witch hunt was designed to smear Hillary?

It's like you guys on the Right don't even care about the truth, you just want to see things or people you don't like drug through the mud and have the Rightwing nuts hurl accusations all day long, and by the time the investigation is over you just hope the American public has moved onto some other witch you can dunk for awhile.

Rant on bro.

Uh, they really aren't bothering to pretend.

That ain't a denial bro...why? Because you know that it's true and you simply don't care.

allegations were clearly made of improprieties....you seem to object to investigating them.

Question is...how valid were those allegations? Should every single allegation made by a blatantly ideological organization against their nemesis be investigated by full Congressional committees?

True.  What would the GOP's House Oversight Committee chair know anyway?   Keep the fires burning.

if their nemesis is receiving millions on govt funding it seems worth looking at.....any word on the consent form allegation by former employees?

 

if ya prefer a smaller group we could eliminate a few pro-choice folk.

Whether they're receiving millions shouldn't really matter as far as having actual facts behind the allegations. Right now the only "facts" are videos that were heavily edited to push a specific angle. IMO that's like having a huge Congressional investigation that costs tons of money to investigate allegations made in a Michael Moore movie.

ROTFLMAO

You keep using the word allegations....I don't think it means what you think it means.

If you think those videos are legitimate allegations then the educational system failed you miserably and I'd seriously consider consulting an attorney for damages.

Not at all, investigations on this, while not necessarily without some witch huntery involved, were okay at the start.

 

But after so many investigations have turned up no evidence of illegal activity, yes, then, I would object to more investigations, because you're throwing time and taxpayer money away at that point.

 

At a certain point, you have to give it up.

 

Between all the states that have turned up nothing and Chaffetz and the Congress finding nothing, I think this witch hunt can likely be closed.

 

PP wins, and did nothing wrong or illegal.  Rs you've got 15 more minutes to flail and whine, then get back to work...whatever that is.  Maybe try repealing the ACA another 50 times.

[Predicto]

The fact that you find nothing of substance doesn't mean that you can't destroy an organization over it just the same.   They proved that with ACORN.

I don't remember where I heard the quote (tv or movie) "I don't care if it's true, I just want to hear him deny it."

And OJ was innocent.

[Predicto]

And OJ was innocent.

 

 

No, OJ was guilty.   ACORN was innocent.  The broad generalized smears against ACORN fell apart when exposed to the light of day, but that was months later after the organization was defunded and destroyed.

 

One of my favorites was the allegations of "vote fraud" against ACORN.  Turned out that ACORN's own employee had turned in fake voter registrations to try to boost his pay.  ACORN discovered the fakery, reported the fakes to the state voting authorities.  No false voters were registered, no false votes were cast.  

 

This was transformed into a hundred breathless headlines and GOP press conferences about RAMPANT ACORN VOTE FRAUD!!!!!"

 

I'm surprised you don't remember this.  After all, you were the one who kept linking us to those headlines.

The state did not prosecute anybody for submitting fraudulent voter registration because it could not prove which canvassers were involved. But the court said the “evidence demonstrates that the possibility of fraud is real.”

 

http://lasvegassun.com/news/2012/oct/04/court-upholds-conviction-acorn-voter-registration-/

ACORN was found guilty and fined $5,000 but later filed bankruptcy with only $4,000 in assets.

Edwards pleaded guilty to gross misdemeanor offenses and was placed on three years’ probation.

Well that was definitely worth all of the screaming, yelling and money spending by conservatives to ruin the entire organization.

 

And the fact that we have found meteorites on Earth demonstrates that the possibility that one put the dent in my car is real. Likely? Not so much.

[DogofWar1]

So for all the kicking and screaming on ACORN, all they got them with was violating a single state's laws?  And that law wasn't even saying they committed voter fraud but rather broke a procedural law about paying canvassers?

 

That's a very far cry from the original allegations.
