Judicial Watch... Who are they anyway?

[tridim]

In the past two weeks Judicial Watch has requested the WH visitor logs and the 9/11 Pentagon Security tape. So far all we've gotten is a bogus list of TWO Abromoff WH visits and a security tape that we've already seen. What the hell? We already know the WH log is complete bullshit.

It bothers me that Judicial Watch seems to be content with the items they've received from their FOIA requests. Why? The items are complete crap and absolutely worthless, yet they never seem to press the issue. Does this raise alarm bells for anyone else?

1. They Are, Sir, a Hard Right Organization

That got its start doing grunt-work for the attempt to impeach President Clinton. Its founder famously sued his own mother over some trifle. They are no friends of ours, and never will be....

2. But they've clubbed the right a good amount also. As in this case. nt

4. They've appeased the Right in the two issues I pointed out

It seems like they're maintaining the image that they're working toward finding the truth, while actually ignoring it.

8. Which makes you wonder about the sudden release of the tape.

Especially when you consider how every news station today is pushing the "Conspiracy nuts" angle like something else might be coming out...

9. Scaife set up a diversion by releasing old footage

Luckily their server timed out :rofl:

7. Magistrate, on this we agree

They were doing some stuff to Kerry during the election as well. I remember coming across it and notifying the campaign of the website....

They are not friends of ours, do not be deceived...

11. The ARE a right wing outfit, but not because Wikipedia says so. nt

6. They make their bones punching the government

They were deeply involved in the Clinton business. They like to take on "opposition" causes, but they are predominantly "right wing" (whatever that means, nowadays--it's hard to tell, the way this administration spends money hand over fist on crony bullshit). This entry gives you the fast highlights of their activities, though they've done more than is listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_Watch

10. crackpot Clinton haters, trying to redefine themselves into relevance
