		<description>This doesn&#039;t reflect well on HRC, of course; but it sure makes the National Stonewall Democrats and its chair Stephen Driscoll look clueless, hapless, and totally irrelevant.</description>

		<description>LOL! I&#039;m not upset with HRC! HRC is supposed to be nonpartisan. NSD asking for money makes them look weak and anemic and makes me wonder about the health of their organization. Especially at a time when they were supposed to be against HRC&#039;s stance on ENDA, they&#039;re asking them for CASH? This isn&#039;t disputed, even by NSD. The email that was sent has NEVER been disputed as being sent and has never been put forth as faked. The only thing that both orgs have said is that it wasn&#039;t true that LCR got money.</description>

		<description>Meanwhile back in the real world, the Republicans are intensifying their cynical, divisive and anti-gay politics. 

If McCain and Palin are elected, it won&#039;t matter one bit who HRC gave money to, what anti-gay Republican LCR has endorsed or what work NSD is doing cause we will all be screwed for decades to come.

It won&#039;t matter what you opinion is about HRC or any of the other national organizations if McCain is in the White House appointing 2-3 anti-gay Supreme Court justices and vetoing pro-LGBT legislation.</description>

Riight....because we can ALWAYS trust the hrc

sure...anything you say, bucko.

Now, what harm can possibly come from boycotting one of the most INEFFECTIVE &quot;HUMAN&quot; (rich, gender conforming gay man) rights orgs on the planet?

Seriously, have you seen their track record?

Zilch.</description>

		<description>They didn&#039;t donate any money to LCR. HRC said they didn&#039;t and LCR said they didn&#039;t. It didn&#039;t happen. Why is everyone so desperate to hate the HRC that they use information that has been proven to be completely false as a stick to beat them with? C&#039;mon, grow up already.

Boycotting the HRC is ridiculous. No wonder we haven&#039;t gotten hate crimes and relationship recognition legislation passed - too many morons are more concerned with diving us and fighting with the country&#039;s largest and most accomplished gay rights lobby group. 

Referring to the HRC&#039;s decision to get the much needed ENDA bill passed by dropping trans protection as &quot;heinous, inexcusable&quot; (which is exactly how the idiots at Boycott HRC describe it) is absurd. The HRC has to operate in WASHINGTON, -NOT- San Francisco. There are things called POLITICAL REALITIES in the US federal government and it is these POLITICAL REALITIES that make it impossible to pass a trans-inclusive ENDA bill. But even obnoxious capital lettering won&#039;t get that message through to them! 

I wonder if the self-defeating dolts organising protests against the HRC have ever heard of CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS and REPUBLICANS? I mean, for crying out loud, GET A GRIP already!</description>

		<description>I am shocked and disapointed if they really donated 10K to the LCR&#039;s and no money to the Stonewall Democrats.  SHAMEFUL if this is true.</description>

		<description>HRC are desperately trying to stay relevant as the playing field changes around them. I&#039;d feel sorry for them, but there have been too many moral compromises on their part -- all for the sake of access to players who no longer control the Democratic party.

It&#039;s totally unsurprising that they&#039;re testing the waters with the Republicans as their options narrow.</description>
