FNC's Hannity and Colmes 'interviewed' Vernie Kuglin and her attorney Larry Becraft last week. Most freepers know her story. I used the word interview in quotes because it actually was an ambush, IMO. Regardless whether you agree with Ms. Kuglin or think she's -- anything -- she deserved to be treated without the verbal abuse she experienced on "Hannity & Colmes." No, I'm not talking about the liberal Alan Colmes: I'm talking about Sean Hannity. His behavior was deplorable. He was rude, demeaning, sarcastic, overly critical, and he played some kind of shame-into-submission game that I still don't even understand....

Forget the war in Iraq, Afghanistan and our excellent adventure in Liberia. Forget about Kobe, Arnold, Arriana, Scott and Laci. The biggest news of the entire week is that on August 8, 2003, the IRS was unable to convince a jury in Memphis, Tennessee that the Federal Tax Code requires the citizens to pay individual income taxes. I kid you not. I watched as many Sunday news programs as I could possibly stand, and I didn’t hear a single mention of the IRS’ debacle in Memphis. If you ever had doubts about the mainstream media being controlled by the federal...

Not a tax protester Referring to me in his column ("Taxing story," Sept. 4), Joel Belz said, "I, for one, earnestly wish for the profound tax reform Mr. Zuniga and his friends say is critical. . . ." But I've never called for tax reform--only for lawful government. The largest financial fraud in history is the unlawful collection of "income" tax for 90 years. Congress entraps you to sign promissory documents, fork over one-third of your pay without reading the law, certify that you're a "taxpayer," and under penalty of perjury that you owe and promise to pay. The legal...

Fox News: The No Credibility Zone By Carl F. Worden I’ve had my doubts about the credibility of Fox News for some time now, and the events of August 12, 2003 confirm every last one of them: Fox News is just as government controlled and unreliable in it’s slanted news reporting as CNN ever was. The tax evasion acquittal of Vernice Kuglin in a Memphis federal court spurred thousands of readers to e-mail Bill O’Reilly at Fox News, urging him to cover the story and to interview Kuglin and her attorney.We’ll never know exactly what transpired in the hallowed...

JOEL BELZ Code of silence Why won't the IRS answer a basic question about tax law? By Joel Belz I STILL HAVE DOUBTS WHETHER THE NAME OF VERNICE B. Kuglin, who lives in Memphis, Tenn., will someday leap off the pages of America's history books along with those of Patrick Henry, Nathan Hale, and Rosa Parks. I do know that Ms. Kuglin must be a woman of some personal courage. Ms. Kuglin, a 58-year-old pilot for FedEx, made news a few days ago when a federal court jury found her not guilty on six charges of tax evasion and willful...
