Dad regards pledge case as his 'duty'

Oh yikes. This guy is a wacko.

Was that duty or dooty?

What a lovely fluffy valentine to the troublemaking nutty Newdow. You must feel pity for him now. (gag)

[sheik yerbouty]

Doody.

[stands2reason]

Notice the title: "Dad" instead of "Newdow"---what's worse, this is in news, not editorials. Sickening.

[Catspaw]

Not only a wacko, but he may well be a deadbeat. Just do the math: he claims he made $15,000 last year, but his child support is $24,000 a year. My guess is he's not working more than a couple days a month so his child support doesn't increase.

Newdow is an emergency-room physician with a law degree, but he says he made only $15,000 last year. Although he works a couple of days a month at the UCLA Medical Center, he says he lives mostly off his savings while spending most of his time, money and energy exploring family law issues and fighting for more time with his daughter.

"I worked my butt off for years and I'm being penalized for it," Newdow said. He is furious that, in addition to $24,000 a year in child support, he has to pay Banning's legal fees when they end up in court because he has more money. "Every time, it costs me $500," he said. "It's ridiculous."

Mike Newdow can't quite understand how someone could call him a bad father.

Let's see, he spread a malicious lie about his daughter in order to further his own selfish cause. And he wonders why he is called a bad father?

[Cachelot]

"People can call me anything they want, but I'm not a bad father."

Sounds more like a mad father to me. Mad as a hatter.

[Paul Atreides]

Notice the media are only concerned about fathers' rights when it is a nutty lefty who is the father.

[Paul Atreides]

He involved an innocent child in his own crusade. What's more, he lied about the child. If this had been a Christian using a child in such a manner, you would not be reading such love letters from the media.

[stands2reason]

I forgot to mention, according to the mother, she has sole custody, not this "shared custody" crap. "Visiting rights" isn't "shared custody".

[AppyPappy]

Translation: "It's my job to save you people from yourselves". Radical fundamentalist atheist.

[TADSLOS]

So, he turns the whole country inside out, drags his daughter through the courts as his underaged, unwitting pawn, lies to legal authorities about his parental status, religious beliefs of his daughter and himself, just so he can bring his "case" before the court. Yeah, this b@*t#&d has issues all right and I'd love to "issue" my size 12 boot up his Constitutional Law meddling butt!

So when can we expect to see this punk in court for purgery and civil mischief?

[Slyfox]

Doody? Clarabell did it.

[agrace]

Is the battle over the First Amendment -- the battle of high-profile lawsuits and press statements -- at its heart a battle over an 8-year-old child?

Newdow doesn't see it that way. "I don't think so. No, they're completely separate issues," he says. "People who say that don't know what they're talking about."

Yeah right.

[Utah Girl]

Yep, I call a bad father one who uses his child for his own selfish ends.

[Miss Marple]

I told you this guy is a stalker, using the court as his weapon.

He is despicable, and I hope he winds up in jail for his perjury and abuse of the court system.

[Utah Girl]

Yes, I remember you saying Newnow was a stalker. You were spot on with your remarks. This guy has gone round the bend, he is going to make the rest of us pay for him not being able to see his daughter when he wants to...

Perhaps you could offer an opinion after reading post #7. You might change your colors. :o'
