IF they were plain nuts, I would stick to my commitment. I suspect I would have had some suspician before agreeing that they might not be .. umm.. balanced. But anyway I slice it, unless they were violently unbalanced, yeah, I would do it.
A Phelps endorsement ? hmmmmm... I want to say: as long as it was a simple gathering, not a gathering to raise money for or recruit zombies for Phelps, I would still do it. After all, that would be the honorable thing to do. But I can't sat I would. [&:]
In the Seinfeld/Trump case : I just can't see beyond the fact that it was a charity event. I'm involved in several charities whose leaders' political ideology differs from mine 1000%. I just wouldn't walk away from a cause I feel passionately about becasue one/some/many who work for the same charity are going to vote, make campaign contributions etc for a different candidate than me.
And I will beat you to it, Owner[;)] : If one of my charities was holding and event and Phelps was the keynote speaker.. I would have ample warning that he was going to be the guest of honor and I would have argued long and hard against it. I would have to question my own sanity that I missed a hint that this organization could possibly see Phelps as a way to raise money for them and re evaluate my continued participation. In other words, drop out and find another group who supports the same cause.
