I'm in ...
I reference from them a lot

Yaaar, these guys do valuable work, if you have the available cash, please lend your support!

Good cause to throw a hundred bucks.

I'd like to help, but I've been tapped dry in trying to contribute to the defeat of Obama.

Dawgs just blew past Arizona, 14-0, I hate to say this but Pac-10 cannot compete with the SEC.

I didn't know they were in need. But I'm sure now that the Lizards' help will be invaluable because the Lizards are some of the most wonderful, generous groups around.

Charles, I know I've been telling you that I'm going to put a couple bucks in your account, but I've decided to repurpose those dollars. I'll catch you next time.

yes

Any way to combine or track all LGF contributions?

A little early in the thread to go OT, ain't it?

We will get over it, chill and have drinkl!

re: #12 LoFlyer

No thanks. I don't drink.

I just threw in fifty...

Will do!

Mine's in.

I'm in for what I can afford already this evening. Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention. Memri provides a valuable service. The economy sucks and I know its a tough slog for a lot of folks, but give them what you can. We need to make informed decisions and without folks like Memri in the loop, its just plain hard.

Saw this a few days ago... threw them fifty.

I absolutely can't do this right now but saved this article to my favorites so I'll remember a little later. I would hate to see them go.

I sent them some gil.
They are invaluable.

re: #13 Cartman

No thanks. I don't drink.

Yaaaar, Well maybe you ought to. It's Saturday night and I have have had a busy week.
/Sanity and stress relief comes in many forms. Getting drunk on Saturday night in the privacy of my house is still perfectly legal!

Sunshine is always the best disinfectant when it comes to people who say one thing in English and the opposite in their native tongues. Sites like MEMRI are vital in seeing what is actually said in Islamic countries, not the two-faced fluff they offer us when we meet them. We need more and more of sites like MEMRI. We need these people to know that we are watching them and hear every word they say.

Okay, I'm in too.

Lizards, they accept PayPal. Just pretend you bought something really terrific on eBay. And this is just SO much more worth it.
;)

Dawgs just blew past Arizona, 14-0, I hate to say this but Pac-10 cannot compete with the SEC.

ASU lost to UNLV last week! They are not the top of the PAC-10. Georgia would have it's hands full with USC. That being said, the SEC is a much stronger division than the PAC-10 this year fer sure.

re: #21 LoFlyer

Well maybe you ought to.

Tried that, and it damn near killed me. Please save your advice for someone else. Thanks.

What you say? Georgia Tech is beating Arizona State 14-0?

Checks can be sent to a mailing address .

Getting back to our regularly scheduled program...

We are singing the praises of MEMRI.

My favorite translation of their was the bumble bee children's TV program with that dreadfully brainwashed little girl.

re: #25 Cartman

Tried that, and it damn near killed me. Please save your advice for someone else. Thanks.

Arrrr, everything in moderation! I'm not trying to piss you off, I am just having fun!

re: #28 Irene NYC

I remember that one. Watching it and just going, "wow, unbelievable".

And didn't MEMRI also do that Palestinian grade school graduation of little boys and girls practicing Jihad?

Ah, the memris....

Seriously, where would we be without them? They are a national treasure.

Invaluable work indeed. $50 donated.

I sent some of my geld their way.

re: #29 LoFlyer

Lo, I have never actually seen anyone celebrate "talk like a pirate day" before. Thought it was an urban legend. You crack me up. LOL.

Hell no! GT couldn't take a good high school team. (I will give GT a break, they expect their football players to graduate as engineers)

Ok...Cubs win Central Division again! First time in 100 years winning division back to back! : )

/yeah, you didn't say I could. Unfortunately I missed it- Neighbor's horse got out from his pasture thanks to me not knowing how to back a trailer into its barn and leaving the fence open...But after 2 hours of freedom, he's back home.

Done.

$100. Done.

Here's an oldie but good from MEMRI, that's just as relevant today.

MEMRI has translations from an online Al Qaeda “magazine” called The Voice of Jihad, in which operatives debate the pros and cons of killing Muslims versus killing infidels. To no one’s surprise, they come out strongly in favor of killing infidels.

But as MEMRI points out, the interesting part of this debate is that the fanatics do not object to the killing of “brother Muslims” on religious grounds; that part of the debate is settled already. They have the right.

Shekels dumped.

Does anyone have a million bucks you can throw in for MEMRI?

I'm in for a hundred. Thanks for posting this Charles.

Done. Invaluable work indeed.

Don't have any cash to send, but I can offer up prayers and good will for MEMRI. They're doing the work that keeps us informed about what is actually being said, as opposed to what is reported as being said.

God Bless You, MEMRI!

Donation sent.

/Yur just trying "to get my goat"!

You may keep your goat. I was only trying to point out that just like Michigan State is not Michigan, and Florida State is not Florida, Oklahoma State is not Oklahoma, Iowa State is not Iowa, etc...

Arizona State is not Arizona. That's all. Enjoy the rout.

re: #4 Cartman

I'd like to help, but I've been tapped dry in trying to contribute to the defeat of Obama.

Acceptable. ;-)

I donated to the McCain campaign early on, but I cannot donate anymore because he took government financing. So I kicked in money to the RJC.

re: #50 Opilio

Arrrrrr, sorry matey, No one on radio has referenced the team as Arizona state. My mistake and your point is taken....

re: #19 Pvt Bin Jammin

Exactly the same here.

We cannot let the enemies of our country and Israel ulululululating and firing off rifles in the air and passing sweetmeats around, to celebrate the demise of MEMRI...whose impending 'death' is vastly over rated because of Charles' putting up this thread....as many who read but do not post will see this.

Thanks, Charles, for the heads up.

re: #14 PSGInfinity

Me, too.

re: #36 LoFlyer

lol, My dad and my boss were both fleet men. No need to 'splain.!

re: #51 Globular Cluster

Good on ya. Money well spent. Maybe I'll hit this one in a few days, but I really knda went overboard on my contributions to McCain/RNC. I don't regret it at all, though. IMO, this is an extremely critical juncture in history with regards to our country's viability. John McCain must defeat Barack Hussein Obama.

re: #11 Charles

Not a problem.

I am in as well, and I will forward this to several people I know in a much better position than I in the zloty department.

Say, how does one support LGF? Am I missing a tip jar in front of my face?

re: #41 taxfreekiller

1 trillion for crooked sub-prime loans, not a dime for the truth.

Your U.S. Congress.

I hope the bail-out has strings that cost the crooked lenders dearly—who among the sane didn't think these loans reeked years ago? There ought to be criminal fraud penalties attached somehow.

donation made.
The service they provide is critical.

re: #34 CapeCoddah

Lo, I have never actually seen anyone celebrate "talk like a pirate day" before. Thought it was an urban legend. You crack me up. LOL.

there was a whole pirate thread here once..a talk like a pirate thread...hilarious

Donated!

re: #55 CapeCoddah

Today is Charlie Kaufman's birthday. So, taking inspiration from your nick, I'm going to watch "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".

/as soon as it's done ripping to my h.d.

I sent them ten bucks, but I don't really see why this operation needs that many people to keep it running. I dunno, I think it could even be a part time job, watching Islamic TV and translating it...

Very happy to help a great organization. I hope they break records for both the number and amount of donations given.

Perhaps if MEMRI uploaded their videos on YouTube instead of using their own crappy player, they'd get much more viewership, and consequently, more donations...

Just a thought

re: #66 medaura18586

Yeah, seriously, their player makes my browser crash.

Donated as well.

Thanks for giving us the heads up, Charles. WHY they ever have to worry about funding is what amazes me. "All" they do is provide valuable information. This should not be partisan or even ideological, unless one's ideology involves hating the Infidel, of course.

Done! A worthy cause.

re: #36 LoFlyer

re: #67 PeaceBeUponHim

Yeah, seriously, their player makes my browser crash.

FF3?

NY Grampa was reading the thread over my shoulders, and decided that we could put off something in order to contribute now.

Done! We wish it could have been more, but it feels so good to have given. MEMRI has no equal.

If a POS like Juan Cole can write this shit re MEMRI, they have to be doing something right.

And #64, PeaceBeUponHim, here is but a part of what MEMRI does...it is not exactly a 2-techies online enterprise.

I'm in. A great cause.

re: #11 Charles

You're a good man, Charles. I'll make sure it's appreciated.

Voted for Dr Panos Prevedouros to be Honolulu Mayor and sent my dinares to MEMRI-- it feels good.

Done deal.

I kicked in another $10.

We need MEMRI for sure.

I just gave $15....I hope that helps little.

Done. I love these people.

Haha, JihadTube going to keep up MEMRI videos? Doubtful.

I've sacrificed my BEER MONEY for the rest of this month and half of next month. This is going to hurt, though my profile may be more svelte come November.

Come on lizardoids, put your money where your mouth is.

Thank goodness for MEMRI...I'm in (meager as it is!)...

I could afford $25 so I donated. Do they need computer resources?

I'm in. Charles, thanks for pointing this out.

whopping 25.00 for now

I'm in for a C-note, and more if necessary. MEMRI is too crucial a resource to lose.

I gave them $25 even though I can't watch their videos.

I'm in for $25 as well.

A worthy cause, $100.00 well spent.

done, and sending the link to others outside LGF

Heartening to see this thread.

What a tragedy if Memri goes down.

And they take PAYPAL!

I'm in, already done the low budget option.

Gonna post this to my mum too, she got more money than me ...

$10 in. I have linked to too many of their vids and articles on my blog not to.

I don't get paid for weeks, but this is the least I can do.

I went to give some money but was unable to find their online privacy policy. Then I came here to check if anyone else could find it and found that I also couldn't find yours, Charles.

I have complete confidence in your use of private information but it's still good netiquitte to post your specific policy; if nothing else, the more good sites that do it the more pressure there is on less-good sites to adopt a policy, and competition will encourage them to become more private with their users' information.

So I'd encourage you to post your policy as part of a drive to a better internet. (Or if I'm simply not finding it, making it more accessible to boneheads like me ;) )

Thanks.

As for Memri, I'm pretty sure I have a stack of those old-fashioned "check" things somewhere; I'll send one of those pending their posting of a privacy policy.

re: #64 PeaceBeUponHim

Check out MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) at guidestar.org
Their tax returns, which are public record show, at a casual glance,
an efficiently run nonprofit. Look for low fund raising to program services
ratio. They have fewer than five employees paid over 50k / year, and
you can see their salaries listed.

Oh, and in the most recent return , I think I saw $0.00 of government
grants for MEMRI. Contrast this with CAIR (national, in DC), which got $300,000.
CAIR's operation is not quite so lean as MEMRI, yet still has reasonable
expenditure ratios. So from an accountancy perspective, I have no
beef with CAIR...

ocelot

Here's a rundown of the way MEMRI handles contributions from the well respected Charity Navigator:

MEMRI

MEMI needs a lobbyist to get some dough from uncle sam...we have 1.5 trillion to bail out bad mortgages but 0 to spend on finding out what the savages have to say about and what their plans are? We're living in bizarro world.

Hi all,

Just donated to MEMRI. anyone have any information on how to go about donating for the McCain/Palin campaign. I know, I can go to McCainpalin.org or something and donate, but does the money really go to them or to the RNC or some other group?

Fifty for me too. I just wish it were 5 mil. I love those guys. Yeah, a check for 5 mil. Gosh, I hope I'm stupid rich some day!

I figured the Israeli government was funding MEMRI, hmm.

re: #97 manny

Demand "netiquitte" or donate to prevent a non-profit company assisting us in gaining better insight into people who want to kill us from going under?

For me it's an easy choice.

Founded in February 1998 to inform the debate over U.S. policy in the Middle East, MEMRI is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization.

Were MEMRI to take government money it would compromise its claim of independence and, therefore, its credibility.

I'm in.

Well that's odd. Perhaps every leftard that ever apologised for the Arab street was wrong when they said that MEMRI was funded by MOSSAD

Just gave $25.00.

re: #106 uptight

One of MEMRI's co-founders, Yigal Carmon, served in the military intelligence branch of the IDF for some twenty years. MOSSAD is a separate agency that engages in various covert activities including but not limited to intelligence gathering. Cf. the CIA, which is not part of DoD. I suppose that MOSSAD (or the CIA) could be providing covert support to MEMRI, but it clearly would be contrary to MEMRI's interest to be forced to rely on such funding.

Of course it is always easier to level an ad hominem accusation, meritorious or otherwise, than it is to deal with unwelcome facts. This applies equally to rightards and leftards.
