Oh, and in case you liberals didn't know this, conservatives give much more money and time to those less fortunate than you all can dream. Maybe it's because most of us don't obsess about buying that new cell phone or ipod like you mass media zombies do!

We Canadians have as much right to comment on this site as you do. And this election has a great deal to do with us and the World. As what happens in the US affects all Nations.

Writing about your own "generosity" and then cricizing someone else for taking credit for theirs is rather glib.

I wasn't writing about my own generosity for public admiration. I was making a point that Tancredo was writing about his for Public Attention and only for that reason.

Second, the comment about Canadians commenting –
1) The WWW stands for WORLD wide web. Get used to it.
2) America needs a reality check from the rest of the world. Half of this country is unbelievably blind.

Not so ironic that a comment about this man who plays on xenophobia for support – is a comment against a foreigner to the U.S. (Canadian). Think about it.

An addition of ONE WORD to make it a positive, factual, and unbiased headline.

$400 for a non-charity haircut would mean the politician has lost his/her frugality, and that would be just another example of the elite mentally ill class living their lives.

It is precisely because of that assessment that they bend over backwards to show that they are like the common folk, like you and me. In doing so they make a horses butt out of themselves. These people couldn't even TRY to be like the common folks in this beautiful country of ours.

Look at Mike Bloomberg who takes the subway to work every day. Yet every time he does, there is someone there to take his picture.

Which brings me to another point: if Bloomberg is taking the subway to work every day, then he surely is in touch with the way people feel about the NYC Transit System – yet there is not change in the BS service that they provde.

BTW, who the heck is this Tancredo guy?

It was a $10 haircut, so he gave $390 away; is that better than the $300 you gave last year? Does it even matter? Writing about your own "generosity" and then cricizing someone else for taking credit for theirs is rather glib.

I'm curious, since you're so against getting a service you "need" in order to support a cause, have you ever donated to the local band's car wash?

Mr. Maxwell, you are such a cad. Holden's son has autism; yeah, I'm sure he's not interested in the cause whatsoever. Way to pimp your business, though. Real classy.

Folks, seriously, this guy is not going to win and he knows it. I doubt he thinks this will get him the nomination and win him the election. So why not use the attention he has right now to create buzz for a good cause?

How many nights does Wolf Blitzer get to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom for putting up such softball questions as the "Pearls or Diamonds" question during the debate?

Maybe it should be:

C.N.A.L.I.N

Can't Need Any Less Important News?

No?

Have you ever thought that Autism could be created by Christianity/Hidden terms of Roman Global Fishtrap?

It's a Dollar! Of course it has the same value as gold. I think it's confusing the kids.

This is for CHARITY as this owner has a child with autism and Tancredo paid for this out of his own pocket.

Tancredo should be applauded by all here, just like I will when the Democrat that this shop owner speaks of does the same.

Great misleading headline by CNN by the way, as many of you idiot sheep can only read a byline if it is big letters.

If Hillary did this the byline would be like "Hillary takes time out from the campaign to donate locks to charity" and you sheep would be gushing over it.

And if you ill informed want to discuss who gives more to charity, do some research and you will find study after study PROVING conservatives give FAR more away to charity than liberals, FAR more.

So the myth that we have ours, forget about everyone else, is a LIE.

But it does prove that liberals are very generous, but only when it comes to spending others money.

It is headlines like this that make me question everything CNN reports. You have an agenda and this only confirms what half the country believes about you – you truly are the Clinton News Network.

I came across a truly amazing business that sells fantastic vintage items and clothing. It should received the same type of promotion via CNN.

As Winston Churchill said: “Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.” Regardless of age, How about a sense of humor folks ? or is it "bah humbug ?

What do urine samples and Canadian beer have in common?
The taste.

If this is not a political issue, I don't know what is.

In the old days, it was consider quite rude to comment on the COST of such items, and instead comment how pleasing or hideous a person looked and behaved.

CNN, please stop commenting on such aspects and return back to the basics of reporting how a candidate THINKS and BEHAVES.

Are they also going to spend $700 on pre-debate make-up like Mitt – you know, some are voting for him because "he looks Presidential."

Whats does a $400 hair cut have over a 20$ hair cut from Style& cuts.

What the clippers are made from gold??

There hair cuts look no different then the average 20 dollar hair cut from the mall.

Well it keeps the middle class barbers strong.

Well it your money spend as you please.

I just hope you dont spend tax money like that if elected. If you do it wont matter any way. The republicans are spending trillions on their pork barrel projects called Iraq Iran war.

I paid close to $300 last year to provide food and toy boxes to
disadvantaged families at just at Christmas.

I received no service nor wanted any.
I choose to give purely because I care. I didn't even ask for a Tax Receipt!

These politicians looking for gratitude for their humanitarian deeds whilst receiving needed services are laughable! I bet 80% of the middle and lower class wage earners could top Tancredo's generosity any day of the week! And not just to get their name in the media! This behaviour is way below leadership standards and quite frankly sickening.
