All the JW supporters drink "Klayman Kool-Aide". One drink and you think Klayman is really "conservative*"!

* From JW's web page, circa 1999: Judicial Watch, Inc., a non-partisan, non-profit conservative foundation based in Washington, D.C., was established to serve as an ethical and legal "watchdog" over our government and judicial systems to promote needed political and legal reform.

Where did the "conservative" part go? Replaced with "cash-serving-us"????

I have yet to hear a rational argument for why conservatives should not like Klayman, except that he seems to apply his standards to both sides of the aisle.

"Larry Klayman's always had better relationships with the bookers at Rivera Live than with the players in the conservative movement."

ROFLMAO. I couldn't have said it better.

I think JW and some *other* groups have redefined "Conservative" and its various forms. Rather than fit into the definition, it is much easier to fit the definition to you.

Much the same way as other special interest groups have self-interpreted meanings. Some examples would be the ACLU's definition of Freedom of Speech, or Freedom of Religion. I think the NAACP has done this quite well, as have some other groups that have adopted the new definition of "conservatism", to which now conservatives (or Republicans) no longer fit into the new mold.

Can you think of others?

Quite the spin, eh?

Technically, he had to sue his mother..........

Critics also tend to bring up the story that he once sued his mother, though Klayman insists that the episode has been grossly misunderstood. "My grandmother was the closest person in my life," he said, motioning to her photograph in his office. "She raised me. My stepdad induced her to turn over her life savings. When my grandmother broke her hip and was on her deathbed, she needed money to care for herself. I brought the case to get her money back, as any good son would have done. I love my mother [but] she was suffering from dementia. She was controlled by my stepfather. The money was in her name, so I technically had to sue her." Interestingly, Klayman doesn't appear to mind the confusion spawned by the more popular version of the story. "I think people thought if I would sue my mother, I would sue anybody, and that may have had a deterrent effect," he said.

Do yourself a favor and try reading an article before responding to it. Saves you that embarrassing "oops" feeling.
