Reply #26: a few points about the MONEY and where it went

[Kelvin Mace]

Suing DU is a bit out of line, although I like suing Diebold and taking their money to fund further research/activism on touch-screen voting machines. That's kind of what Morris Dees did with the $6.2 million settlement he won from Aryan Nations, a good chunk of which he used to continue funding the Southern Poverty Law Center and pursuing other neo-nazi hate groups.

We don't really see evidence that she has used the money that way. An analysis of her public filings show lots of money flowing into her pocket (salary $90K), and lots not properly accounted for. Despite claims that the books would be audited by a CPA, no such audit has ever taken place. The filing that exists are plagued with simple math errors and raise far more questions than they answer.

for a detailed discussion of the money issue.

Re bringing the freeps into the dialog; also not a bad idea. While they're mostly bigoted imbeciles, there seem to be a few with functional brains. And there's at least as much fury on the right about vanishing Constitutional rights and liberties as there is on the left. Politics in the US isn't linear any more; more circular, with the left the right beginning to draw near on civil libertarian issues.

Reading as I do periodically the rantings on Free Republic, I have seen very little of what you describe. Bev also used FR to attack Andy and accuse him of "faking" (He's been "faking" being dead for over two years now). We traced the vile "scamdy.com" web site to Bev's freeper buddies.

Jim March I don't know anything about, except that he's described as a "freeper" because he supports gun ownership rights (as do I, with certain strict limits).

We have quoted March's more vile pronouncements in many places. The two that stand out in my mind was his "Happiness is a clean kill" sig line, and his crowing that the Diebold law suit was going to make him rich.

Bev's conduct toward Andy was loathsome. We have repeatedly caught her in lies, using her own posts/emails to disprove her claims (SOP when you spot an incriminating or stupid post by Bev on her site is to save it, since she scrubs them once they are pounced on).

Bev has repeatedly threatened to sue me for libel for posting her own words, but strangely, the suit has never materialized. Instead I endure a string of her surrogate's abusive emails, libelous web sites and other indignities.

If I had the money, I would sue her. She has the money, but won't sue me. Draw your own conclusions.
