FRC Demand Refunds From Komen

The Family Research Council, who earlier this week turned their tweets pink in support of Komen, has already launched a demand for the refund of donations made after Komen cut off Planned Parenthood. This, at least, will be quite enjoyable.

Komen Apologizes, Restores Funding

Here's the story and the full apology that I've excerpted below. The immediate reaction on Twitter appears to be highly distrustful. Some are noting the "we're sorry YOU got upset" tone.

Nothing Says Cancer Cure Like a Pink Gun

This is an actual thing:
Discount Gun Sales is proud to team up with the Susan B. Koman Foundation to offer the Walther P-22 Hope Edition in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A portion of each P-22 Hope Edition will be donated to the Seattle Branch of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The P-22 Hope Edition has an exclusive DuraCoat Pink slide in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Utilizing the same reliable controls and firing mechanism that has made the Walther P-22 America’s top selling handgun, the Hope Edition will be a limited production pistol offered exclusively through Discount Gun Sales.
What's Komen's cut of that $429.99?
