Y'all seen this?
http://vimeo.com/37119711 What do you think? Apparently the organization is a little suspect, keeping a lot of the money they make, but it seems like a good cause if it get's peoples attention. It got my attention. EDIT: counter Kony 2012 article: http://visiblechildren.tumblr.com/

It made me check out Kony - a Facebook friend of my daughter's posted it to her Wall.
He, apparently, is every awful thing the video says he is. I had not heard of him until yesterday, so the campaign to raise awareness seems to be doing something, at least.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

Yes he is. However his replacement is just as bad. You need to know in that region this is a business. A sick one but nonetheless a business. This to me appears to be nothing but a money making con that in the end will not change anything except the next persons name for additional money.
Good magic to all, Eric |

I heard people talking about this last week ... My only real problem with the awareness campaign is that the issue is old news. I was surprised that so many people apparently only learned about the LRA recently. Today it is largely a spent force.
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/worl......2363751/ "While a viral video has helped millions of people discover the Lord’s Resistance Army, the video conceals a key reality on the ground: the LRA is a rapidly weakening force, and probably a dying organization, reduced to stealing food from villagers to survive." I was shocked at this: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/worl......2362416/ "Until this week, Joseph Kony and his gang of child-kidnapping killers were so unknown in North America that the U.S. talk-show host Rush Limbaugh was able to tell his audience that Mr. Kony was an unfairly persecuted Christian." http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/V......nce-Army "Last October, Rush Limbaugh on his radio show defended Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army, the Uganda guerilla group that is now infamous around the world thanks to a viral video from the Invisible Children organization that has exposed Kony’s cruel and murderous ways."

Yes, and when President Obama sent 100 US military advisers to Uganda to help in tracking Kony down, Limbaugh chose to lie about it by characterizing it as an example of Obama's "war on Christianity."
But the ditto heads keep cheering him on and defending his divisive lies. |

Where does Limbaugh get his information from??
I mean seriously, what can cause hinm to express such attitudes to drag the name of Christianity into disrepute like that, by affiliating it with Kony? Kam
