In this case, the “it” was taxpayer money that was destined for the Boys and Girls Club in the Bronx. You know, to help the inner city youths there. And there was about $500,000 worth of “it”. But are the kids in the Bronx benefitting from this generous amount of tax dollars? Why no, they’re not.
But Air America is. That money was apparently “loaned” to Air America with the promise to pay it back with interest. But they haven’t paid any of it back yet, much less any interest. And who would be stupid enough to loan Air America that kind of money? Well, the director of development for the club, Evan Cohen. But wait, there’s more! Not only was he holding that position, but he was also the chairman of Air America. How convenient.
Stealing money from inner city kids. How much lower can Air America get? Well, their ratings are lower, but that’s another story.
This scandal isn’t making the rounds in the liberal media (gee, I wonder why), but I’m sure as soon as all the Air America listeners hear about this, they’re both going to be really upset.
Man that’s almost as bad as the Million dollars the Government gave the ‘Silver Ring Thing’ to poison young minds with Christian missionary propaganda under the guise of promoting an abstinence only lifestyle.
Not to mention the 206 million proposed for next year that will all go to Christian ministry groups to preach abstinence only, a program which has done nothing to curb juvenile sexual encounters.
So you’re saying that the government funding a program, legally, is worse than some scumbag stealing money the government earmarked for a children’s center and giving it to some failing talk radio startup? Ok then, glad we got that straight.
Somehow, I don’t think the people teaching abstinence are going to be facing any jail time.
They will if they keep using federal money for missionary work.
Oh really? Under what statute will they be prosecuted?
