I guess I am just seeing much ado about nothing.
WHAT? Was the fund raiser new on planet earth maybe? You don't accept a call like that about anything without telling your supervisor or just hanging up. There is nothing to figure out about a person who would continue to take a call like that unless they themselves were part of a sting opperation.
And just because some people from Idaho are kinda stupid ? [kidding maybe] doesn't give them the right to write this off. As I said (in so many words) the caller was an a__ hole for even doing it. What is the quote I want? The one about if you look for evil you will certainly find it?
But that doesn't let the fund raiser off the hook. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I agree it doesn't let the fundraiser off the hook but it doesn't necessarily string Planned Parenthood to a hook either.

No, I would think the fund raiser was likely just trying to raise some funds. If you look at the sig line on my posts I am also fund raising. If you said you would give me $100 towards my charity as long as it didn't help black kids I would accept your donation... and give it to the charity happily. Personally I don't care where the money came from, as long as those who need it get it.

I would, and afterwards I would laugh at the callers ignorance.

That is an interesting twist that I had not thought of...

Haven't seen any updates on this, except there was a march or protest about the call and I misplaced the link to that.
But there is a lot of community and state response (in the form of letters to the editor) as you can imagine.
I think most people resent the caller and condemn the operator.
