JUDICIAL WATCH FIGHTS CLINTON IRS ATTEMPTED AUDIT

Judicial Watch ^ | April 18, 2002

[humbletheFiend]

In fairness to Mr. Klayman, he has shown quite a bit of courage. It must be very lonely at times to be aiming your guns at the most powerful people in the world.

But, like everyone else, Judicial Watch is probably going to have to submit to the audit.

And I predict that, while some of the resulting disclosures may turn out to be somewhat embarrassing, they will find that the records reveal no illegal conduct.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

You are absolutely correct.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Thanks, but I just can't get past Larry Klayman's Bozo-esque mug.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

That is not a bad picture of him. What are you talking about?

[Howlin]

Why? Because it's your daddy?

[Amelia]

There are Two Different Kingdoms--that of the religious or heavenly, and that of the civic. Those two worlds just are not run the same.

Perhaps, but when they are both seeking the same legal treatment - that of the non-profit organization - some similarities have to apply.

IF YOU WANT THIS MAN – AND MEN LIKE HIM – TO REMAIN IN CONTROL OF YOUR ECONOMIC AND PERSONAL DESTINY, CONTINUE TO TOLERATE THE CURRENT MARXIST INCOME TAX SYSTEM.

I'm talking about the fact that whenever I see Larry Klayman, I think of Bozo the Clown.

When a man appears on national television and sinks to the level of hurling insults about his opponent's hair piece, his chances of convincing me he is a serious individual come to an abrupt halt.

Howlin, that really is not funny at all! Cut it out and stick to the issue. You do not help your side of the debate by putting in dumb comments like that.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

"When a man appears on national television and sinks to the level of hurling insults about his opponent's hair piece, his chances of convincing me he is a serious individual come to an abrupt halt."

Rodger Ailes probably pushed him to the edge. Besides, this has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I'll bet he has a rubber nose in his pocket. I just know it.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

You guys are just being really mean-spirited and resemble more the bullies on a school playground instead of the grown-up, mature adults that you all profess to be.

[Howlin]

We were talking about non-profits.

You said:

I appreciate the fact that churchs and special interest organizations have tax-exempt status. I believe that this helps contribute to America being a "market place of ideas."

That was YOUR remark, not mine.

Then you said:

You may believe that it is unfair that Judicial Watch spends large amounts of their income on fundraising, but apparently, their supporters do not seem to mind.

Now I ask you again: what would the people in your father's congregation say if he only spent 4 percent of what he took in on preaching the gospel?

They're both non-profits, so to speak; they both "collect" money -- admittedly people give of their own volition -- but they do give for a stated purpose.

What would the congregation say if your father spent 96 percent of the donations to his church on something OTHER than preaching and spreading the gospel?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Rodger Ailes probably pushed him to the edge.

Yeah, right. I think it's his responsibility to represent himself and his organization well when he's in front of an audience - don't you? I can hardly believe the man has a law degree.

[Howlin]

Rodger Ailes probably pushed him to the edge.

Poor Larry. The whole world against him.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

That is a irrelevent question. The only thing that these two organizations have in common is that they are both non-profits. Their goals are different. Judicial Watch supporters are not unhappy with the way their money is being spent, so it is a non-issue on this forum, especially if you do not give money to them.

[Amelia]

So what does Klayman spend the other 96% of the money on? Does anyone know?

[FreedominJesusChrist]

It is not fair to take one instance out of the many TV appearances that Klayman has given, and just say that he does not represent JW well. That is misleading.

I think you are correct in that assumption. But 'eww' likes to fling the ethics thing around so imo he should be out front in all his dealings so as to ensure he is occupying as ethical position as possible. He has a group with a BOD made up of three employees and one other. They are voting on the use of tax deductible contributions for their own salary, trips, cruises, etc. He needs to be up front about these things as ethics is more than laws or rules, imo. If he is truly doing great things then the contributors will continue to support him even knowing all the facts... JMO
