With respect, those Daily Kos articles are not disturbing information. "My theory (and mine alone)," is not an indication of information, but of an opinion piece. It is an opinion piece with little or no factual support, at that. Not what I'd call a good or solid piece of journalism.
And no, if the goal is raising money for dealing with breast cancer, there is no more effective organization. Komen manages to put 80% of its $300+ million income into research, education, screening, and treatment. There is no organization on the planet that is more effective or efficient at getting money to this cause.
Yes, Komen slipped up here. But they've publicly apologized and amended their policy. As long as they follow through, that should be the end of it. If someone's done so much good, has one slip up, and makes amends, you don't just give up on them, or drop them like a hot potato.
