Lawrence O'Donnell Attacks Ann Coulter for Saying Liberals Give Less to Charity Than Conservatives
Lawrence O'Donnell on Tuesday made a federal case out of Ann Coulter's quite accurate claim that liberals give less to charity than conservatives.
"The Last Word" host might have raised this issue to draw attention to a charity he's supporting (video follows with partial transcript and commentary):
LAWRENCE O’DONNELL, HOST: Time for tonight’s Rewrite. It all started with a column by Bill O’Reilly which included a reference to Jesus Christ’s attitude toward charity. Then Comedy Central’s theologian-in-chief Stephen Colbert got involved.
O’Donnell then played a clip from last Thursday’s “Colbert Report” in which the host went after O’Reilly for his comments concerning Christ and charity. After the clip, O’Donnell continued:
O’DONNELL: Of course, there was no chance of Colbert going unanswered on the “O’Reilly Factor” where Bill turned for theological guidance to, who else, Ann Coulter.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
ANN COULTER: No, the fundamental problem is liberals think sending a check to the IRS constitutes charity. That is not charity. Christians understand that which is why when you say Americans are the most generous people on earth --
(CROSSTALK)
BILL O'REILLY: Yes.
COULTER: No conservatives are.
O'REILLY: Well, Americans in total.
(CROSSTALK)
COULTER: As has been demonstrated time and time again. Liberals are the least charitable with their money. Conservatives and especially Christians the most charitable and you know Nancy Pelosi considers it charitable giving --
(CROSSTALK)
O'REILLY: All right, let me just define what you're saying --
COULTER: -- to contribute to the San Francisco ballet whereas Christians are actually giving to poor people.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
O’DONNELL: Liberals are the least charitable with their money. Really, Ann? Consider the response of this program’s audience, which surely has some liberals in it, to my plea for donations to the K.I.N.D. Fund, Kids In Need of Desks. Last week I announced this unique partnership between MSNBC and UNICEF to raise money for desks for school children in Africa who now sit on dirt floors or cement floors. The desks we are supplying to these schools are made in Malawi. So the contributions to buy a desk also helps stimulate the Malawi economy, provide jobs for the workers who will make those desks and enable them to feed their families.
The response to my announcement as I reported last night has been more than we could have ever reasonably expected. As of last night, UNICEF had processed over $600,000 in contributions to the K.I.N.D. Fund, and in the last 24 hours, we’ve raised even more. So far, UNICEF has processed contributions in the amount of $727,991.
O’Donnell then discussed how the charity works, and where donors can go to contribute. He eventually came back to Coulter:
O’DONNELL: So Ann, I’m not going to fight with you about who is more charitable. I’m going to allow the astonishing kindness and generosity of my audience to serve as the response to your statement, “Liberals are the least charitable with their money.” And I beg you, Ann, to now show us just how charitable conservatives can be with their money. $48 a desk, $720 for a classroom. Come on, Ann, you can afford a classroom. And hey, if you can get Rush involved, he can buy desks for every kid in Malawi. And Ann, that e-mail that you just got from UNICEF, that’s not spam. I just bought you a desk for Christmas. Merry Christmas, Ann.
Quite possibly O'Donnell didn't want to fight about who is more charitable because he knows that studies have shown conservatives to be far more giving than liberals. He might even have been aware of the book Coulter referred to in Monday's "Factor" segment detailing the facts.
As Beliefnet.com reported in April 2008:
In his book, Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservativism (Basic Books, 2006), [Arthur] Brooks discovered that approximately equal percentages of liberals and conservatives give to private charitable causes. However, conservatives gave about 30 percent more money per year to private charitable causes, even though his study found liberal families earned an average of 6 percent more per year in income than did conservative families. This greater generosity among conservative families proved to be true in Brooks' research for every income group, "from poor to middle class to rich."
This "giving gap" also extended beyond money to time donated to charitable causes, as well. Brooks also discovered that in 2002, conservative Americans were much more likely to donate blood each year than liberals and to do so more often within a year. Brooks found "if liberals and moderates gave blood at the same rate as conservatives, the blood supply in the United States would jump by about 45 percent."
When Brooks compared his findings to IRS data on the percentage of household income given away, he found that "red" states in the 2004 election were more charitable than "blue" states. Brooks found that 24 of the 25 states that were above average in family charitable giving voted for Bush in 2004, and 17 of the 25 states below average in giving voted for Kerry. Brooks concluded, "The electoral map and the charity map are remarkably similar."
Indeed. As the Catalogue for Philanthropy consistently finds, red states regularly top the "generosity index" meaning that they give more as a percentage of income than blue states.
So maybe this was why O'Donnell didn't want to fight the issue, for he likely knew Coulter was right.
One would think he should also be smart enough to realize that all because this charity he's supporting has raised over $700,000 in the last 24 hours, that doesn't change the statistics concerning conservatives consistently contributing more than liberals.
Which probably makes this all a clever publicity stunt on O'Donnell's part to draw more attention to the K.I.N.D. Fund.
Got to give him credit - sure caught my eye. I'm even thinking of buying a few desks myself.
Merry Christmas, Lawrence.

He makes the illogical argument that anecdotal information informs about trends. It doesn't. Just because he made a plea to his audience and they responded does not mean that liberals as a whole donate as much as conservatives.

My favorite tactic is when they can't fight statistics, they resort to anecdotes. These days, that usually comes in the immigration debates. You read about thousands of people crossing the border illegally, tying up resources, straining the citizen safety nets ... but instead, we're presented with the "report" that highlights the most sympathetic of immigrants, telling their anecdotal story with more violins than the Philharmonic.
Hey. look, no one said that illegal immigration is wrong because it brings in too many saintly grandmothers looking to rescue their noble families. God bless them, but that's no way to run a border.

Why didn't Larry bring up the lefty trope that conservatives give a significant portion of their charity to their churches and other religious organizations?
I like it when they try this dodge, it tells people so much about them.
Alan Colmes wouldn't have missed this standard talking point. Of course he's an intelligent, competent liberal. (I've no explanation, must be a mutant or something.) Maybe MSNBC tried to get him, but he preferred actually having an audience on Fox.

It has been shown time and time again that "donations" to actual real charities are greater coming from conservatives (Christians) than it would come from liberals (tight wads).
The Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey (sccbs) did one back in 2000 and showed the data collected from 30,000 people and 50 communities across the country.
91 percent to 66 percent - Christians over Liberals in donations
67 percent to 44 percent - Christians over LIberals in volunteering

comes from the heart, not from the pockets of others. Reminds me of the story where a conservative and liberal are walking down the street and happen upon a homeless person. The conservative gives the homeless man a $20 bill and a business card telling the man to stop by and he will see what he can do to get him a job. The liberal looks on in astonishment and figures he can do better. Upon seeing the next homeless person they happen upon, the liberal reaches into the pocket of the conservative, pulls a $50 bill and hands it to the homeless man.

Five former Commandants of the United States Marine Corps number among their Board of Directors.
Ninety-two cents out of every dollar donated goes to the scholarships provided. Last I heard, of every dollar TAKEN from me in taxes that is earmarked for government charity (welfare), only thirty-two cents makes it to its recipient. Given the choice (HA!) I'll stick with MCLEF.
The researches which are backed by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society have been instrumental in fantastic reduction in blood borne cancer fatalities over the past decade.

cause and effect
Submitted by lotr on Wed, 12/22/2010 - 2:01pm.
One thing that wasn't mentioned is that the disparity in charitble giving is not surprising fact. Generally speaking, "liberal" and "conservative" ideologies tend to derive from a more fundamental ideology or world view: The existence (or not) of God. The former (liberals) tend on denying the existence of God, or claiming that "we can't know if there exists a God." The latter (conservatives) tend on affirming the existence of God, to varying degrees, some more religiously than others. IMO, it is this premise, the existence of God (or not), that forms the basis for the remainder of a person's world view (including whether they are "liberal" or "conservative"), and correspondingly, their attendant behavior.
If there is no God, then all is meaningless, including human existence, humans being nothing more than a dance of atoms with no inherent moral difference from other "inorganic" chemistry. If human existence is meaningless, then behaviors such as "charitable giving" are suitable only insofar as they provide immediate selfish gratication and/or pleasure. Because giving away money does not necessarily bring self-gratification (and actually does involve self-sacrifice), especially if one doesn't believe there is a Higher Personal Power observing and remembering (for all eternity) a "good deed" done in private, there is far less "interior" motivation for doing it.

We know this is the way it is because as they say... "what goes around comes around". So doubt all you want.

My observations
Submitted by ThisnThat on Wed, 12/22/2010 - 2:36pm.
Liberals give money to charity only if it's required politically, or if there is a lot of publicity in it. Another reason is what they can get out of it. Look at obama's contributions before and after his run for the Presidency. Look at Clinton's giving his underwear.
Conservatives give to charity whenever they can identify that a need can be met. And they do it privately, mostly.

There is no way to tell. Regardless, one incident doesn't prove anything. I think everyone here summed it up quite well. Conservatives tend to give more of their own money, time and give more of themselves to people in need than do leftists. I say "leftists" because "liberal" is really a misnomer. Today's conservatives are actually "classic liberals" as our Founding Fathers were.
Leftists often give to causes and other so-called "charitable" groups that have political agendas. That doesn't necessarily help the poor or needy in any way. And it is never direct that way. Just because an organization is 501(c) 3 doesn't make it a charity per se. It just means they found a way to be considered "non-profit". Also, leftists tend to give other people's money by consfication (taxes and such). That is not the same as giving voluntarily from the heart of your own assets.
That said, Ann is correct. Yes, there are some very generous leftists out there who actually do give a lot to help others. But overall, the left does not give nearly as much as a group as conservatives do--especially the really rich politicians. They tend to be the stingiest.

JWF addressed Satchmo and used a bunch of Ted quotes. Rukus responded to JWF about Satchmo and didn't mean to sound like he was referring to what JWF's post said about Ted. Rukus, if you just glance over the posts it sounds like you're talking about Ted (to someone who doesn't know better). Clear now? #181 Don't go away mad Butt Hurt Stupid Satchmo troll.Submitted by The Vet on Sat, 12/11/2010 - 2:57am.
Tired of some insane user that has taken offense at your trolling and stupidity and taken to calling you Butt Hurt and Stupid? Don't get mad. Turn up the trollin'. Notch it up baby.
Here are 20 tried and true troll tactics when things get all a butt hurtin'.
The Abridged Troll Bible - New Testament.According to Dead Zippers.
Whoops. I see you already tried number 3 - Whine about threads getting disrupted or mucked up when your troll ways are pointed out. - Satchmo: ...someone with the intent on causing disruption.
Whoops again. Looks like your already tried number 12 - Claim anyone that dare point out your troll ways are actually the trolls not you - Satchmo: From what I see, you are the troll.
Dang. And you took a stab at number 9 - Claiming people that point out your troll ways are in a meltdown or will meltdown soon. - Satchmo: You are mental.
Wow. Are you sure you weren't in on writing the New Testament of the Troll Bible?
Anyhoo. If you burn through those 20 and you butt is still a hurtie poundin'. Have solace. There are still plenty of moves. Try this - change your name to a derivation of the user that is putting the Butt Hurt on you by proving how stupid you are. Then BLACKMAIL him. Tell him you won't change it back until your butt stops a achin'. That is right. BLACKMAIL. That will draw people to your cause.
Finally. When all else fails. Make threatening stalker style posts. Do you know if the user has children or a wife or pets in his yard? Use it against him. ----

Are you a gun owner? Do your children take the same walking route to school everyday? Does your dog like drinking that tasty blue water? Does your wife still keep her unmentionables in the 2nd drawer from the top of that walnut stain dresser?

Well, that is all I got. Good luck with that sore red tender hurt butt of yours.
