And who "backed up" "conservatives give more than liberals"?
I didn't make the claim, so I did not try to back it up. You, however, tried to claim that the reason conservatives out give liberals is that liberals give to charities that are not charities. That just makes you stoopid, even if the claim you do not like is wrong.
I've been though threads like this several times. It's true, conservatives give more to charity. Liberals give to organizations that help people.
Organizations that help people are charities. Here is a list of the 200 largest charities in the United States, why don't you look through it, then come back and admit you are an idiot?

Look at Acorn. Demonized by conservatives. Conservatives screamed "voter fraud" where there wasn't any. There was some problems with voter registration, but conservatives refuse to see that it was Acorn itself that reported the inconsistencies to the authorities.
ACORN? Are you still crying about that? If they did a good job they would still be around. Since they did not, they obviously failed.
Get over it.
Acorn helped helped people get jobs, homes and worked for voter registration.
So do a lot of other places.
Then right wingers went into Acorn, videotaped the workers, then spliced in film from somewhere else of youngsters dressed in pimp and slut outfits. They asked Acorn employees about prostitution but ignored the fact that the employees went directly to the police after those kids left. Still Acorn was brought down.
And left wingers have been attacking the Boy Scouts for years, and calling for boycotts of any business that supports them. Funny thing, the BSA is still around, because they actually do good work, they do not just pretend to.
Then you have such organizations as The National Endowment for the Arts:
About Us
To date, the NEA has awarded more than $4 billion to support artistic excellence, creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. The NEA extends its work through partnerships with state arts agencies, local leaders, other federal agencies, and the philanthropic sector.
----------------- Do conservatives give much to such organizations? We know the answer to that.
Wow, just when I think you have delved the depths of idiocy, you prove me wrong.
The NEA is a government agency, not a charity. Everybody in the US that pays taxes supports them, even if they do not want to. Since conservatives make up about 40% of the population in the US, my guess is they supply about 40% of the funding. That would work out to around $500 million in 2007.
On the other hand, liberals being only 20% of the population, would have given about half of that.
Want to try again?
A mere 20 colleges and universities received more than $7 billion in 2009. Why would more than a few conservatives give to such organizations when conservative in power are slashing education and are trying to destroy teachers right to bargain?
What are you blathering about now? Did you know that in 2009 one person gave $45 million to just 8 universities? Just off the top of my head, this guy is either a conservative, or he is a criminal. Liberals would be blasting the donation from the roof tops.
