Republican base rubes now targeting the soup kitchen where Ryan had his fake photo-op

Posted on by

Here’s how the Republican Tea Party zombies think: if Paul Ryan did something reprehensible or stupid (such as the fake photo-op at the soup kitchen last week), it must be someone else’s fault — BLAME THE SOUP KITCHEN!

Huffington Post: “WASHINGTON — In the wake of Rep. Paul Ryan’s embarrassing soup kitchen photo-op last week, the organization that runs the facility tells The Huffington Post that donors have begun pulling their money out of the Youngstown, Ohio charity. Ryan may have suffered a few late-night jokes, but the fallout for the soup kitchen appears to be far more bruising. Brian J. Antal, president of the Mahoning County St. Vincent De Paul Society, confirmed that donors have begun an exodus in protest over Ryan’s embarrassment. The monetary losses have been big. “It appears to be a substantial amount,” Antal said. “You can rest assured there has been a substantial backlash.” Antal says he can’t give an actual dollar amount. “I can’t say how much [in] donations we lost,” he said. “Donations are a private matter with our organization.”

“Ryan supporters have now targeted Antal and his soup kitchen, Antal said, including making hundreds of angry phone calls. Some members of Antal’s volunteer staff have had to endure the barrage as well, he said. “The sad part is a lot of [the callers] want to hide behind anonymity,” he said, adding that if someone leaves their name and number he has tried to return their call. In addition to phone calls, people have posted a few choice words on the charity’s Facebook wall, including statements like “I hope you lose your tax [sic] emempt status,” Anyone who is thinking about donations to you should think twice” and “Shame on you Brian Antal!”"

Disgusting. True Christians and brave patriots all.

  1. I am originally from Warren Ohio but I live in Colorado now as you know. Warren, Niles, Austintown and Youngstown will always be in my heart. And this is unacceptable. I personally have made a donation and will continue to donate to them on a weekly basis, as well as the other soup kitchens I help out here in Colorado Springs.
    This is a kind of vile that I can not even express. To attack a Soup Kitchen because of Politics?
    What the hell??? Have the Republicans no sense of humanity left? ihatepeacocks.com will stand as their ally and I encourage everyone else to do the same. It’s one thing when you see these Tea Party nutjobs saying evil things on TV, but it is a whole other kind of evil when they attack a charity organization that is completely neutral. If you hear of anyone trash talking Mahoning County St. Vincent, please send them my way. Thanks
