Right Wing Watch. Comments From Townhall.com
Below are some actual comments left by real readers of Townhall.com. I post these to remind all of you that; while President Obama’s re-election may seem to us to be a no-brainer; the extremists on the right remain active and mobilized. Let’s not get too comfortable….

Show Some Leadership Mitt! An Open Letter to Mitt Romney
Dear Governor Romney:
As the person most likely to become the leader of the Republican Party, are you willing to come forward and reject the toxic rhetoric coming from your opponents and fellow travelers? Are you willing to renounce the orthodoxy of this "new" Republican Party that preaches tha… Read full post »
The Trayvon Martin Murder And The Stand Your Ground Excuse
Below is the famous Florida “stand your ground” statute:
776.013 Home protection; use of deadly force; presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm.—
(1) A person is presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily harm to himself o… Read full post »
NEWT?
Oh my god!
I have been very busy. I had to go to trial in a couple cases and I'm getting ready for another one..so I have not been paying as much attention as I usually do.
So I get a little break and suddenly...NEWT IS THE REPUBLICAN FRONT RUNNER? … Read full post »
Worlds Most Inappropriate Halloween Party-AWFUL
I assume that those who read this blog are very aware of the news.
However, in case you missed it, check out the stories about last years' Halloween party thrown by the Steven J. Baum law firm in New York.

Acts of Desperation -Crime: The Real Cost Of Bad Policy
I’m an attorney. Several months ago I left a job representing banks and went back to what I had been doing a few years before-representing criminal defendants.
What I have noticed since I have come back to this work is that it’s getting much worse out there folks. For example, I’m… Read full post »
Tea Party Neighbors Agree- Invest In America
I was on TOWNHALL.COM a couple of days ago, leaving comments on various stories about the evils of government spending, and something interesting happened.
My comment to all of the articles were the same:
1. Do we agree that our roads and bridges need fixing?; and
2. If… Read full post »
Rick Perry- NOT Dumb
Perry is NOT dumb. He IS a dishonest bastard who
would pretend to be a socialist or a bunny rabbit if it would help
him get elected.
The Tea Party thing is working now. When supporting Al Gore was
working, he did that too. In the future, if making speeches in/… Read full post »
OBAMA WIMPS OUT!!!!
Screw John Boehner- Address Nation From The Steps!
In an unprecedented move, John Boehner has refused the president use of the House Chamber to address the nation. He wants the address moved to the next day-a date numerous observers pointed out would conflict with the opening game of the National Football League's regular season. The Republican/… Read full post »
Yes Virginia, The Banks CAN Lie To You.....
If you ever wondered why the banks get away with lying to people who are seeking loan modifications, the answer is simple: it’s because they can. The law in most states not only allows banks to lie to you, it encourages banks to lie and protects them when they do.… Read full post »
Party Like It's 1900
Ron Paul says that we don't need FEMA and that we should go back to handling disasters like they did in 1900. I couldn't agree more!
Before we discuss it, here are some fun facts about the 1900 storm from the City of Galveston 1900 Storm Committee and the Galveston County… Read full post »
Direct Hit From Irene- GOLDMAN SACHS washed out to sea!
I know I will likely not see the above headline in the morning-but I wish I would!
Does that make me a bad person? I can't help thinking that millions of Americans are hoping for the same thing and are actually praying that New York's financial district takes a direct h… Read full post »
Two Things I Wish You Would Do
I wish that everyone would take a moment and go to www.change.org any type in Bank of America in the search box.
After you have read a few of the thousands of comments posted by people who are being ruined by this bank, take another moment and e-mail Warren Buffett… Read full post »
Banks
No Money For Jobs...But Plenty For The Banks...?
We can't fix our infrastructure and get people back to work becuase we're "broke" right?
But, when the banks needed a spare trillion; no problem.
Have you seen this story on Bloomberg?
Don't even try to tell me that there is no money to create jobs! It's time for… Read full post »
Make The Deadbeat Poor Pay Up!
I'm shocked! I just read a blog by Markinjapan (lefty liberal). He posted a video clip of the Jon Stewart show. Stewart cites a Fox News story that reports that more than 99% of "poor" people in America-presumably including those freeloaders on welfare-have refrigerators! What's worse, about 25% of t… Read full post »
Rick Perry- My Kinda Guy!
Rick Perry will just be the greatest president ever!!! I can't wait! I'm sooo excited!
As far as I can tell, the only person standing in his way is that secret liberal/communist RINO Michelle Bachmann-who recently exposed who she really is. In a recent interview, Bachmann (born in C/… Read full post »
Communist Jon Huntsman Declares Earth Is Not Flat!!
In a move proving that he is unfit for the presidency, the dangerous radical communist Jon Huntsman has declared his belief that the earth is not flat, but actually a sphere that orbits the sun.
In a recent comment on Twitter, Huntsman stated:
“To be clear. I believe in evolution… Read full post »
The If We Build Bridges Jesus will Come!
What exactly IS the argument against massive infrastructure spending? I can't think of a logical one.
I asked this question on Townhall.com-a conservative/Tea Party site that most of you have probably seen. If not, you gotta check it out. Wow, those people are wild!
Here are t… Read full post »
Rick Perry- Be afraid!

Bank of America- I Wish They'd Go Away! Exec. Contact Info.
Why does our government not do something about Bank of America?

Stop Waiting for Obama-It's Time For Bold Actions
I voted for President Obama. I like President Obama. However, I've given up on waiting for him to "rise to the occassion" and become the bold progressive that some believed that he was. Face it, President Obama is not a bold progressive-he just isn't. Therefore, we cannot wait for him to… Read full post »
Don't Hate The Tea Party
Okay-I know....most thinking people really hate the Tea Party. But we shouldn't. Their disregard for the facts and pure hatred of the government-when there are so many better institutions to hate (i.e. banks, oil companies, etc.) infuriate progressives. However, these Tea Part… Read full post »
