The Maggot Punks

In other example of poor reporting Dion Lefler takes a press release from Operation Rescue West and thinks he can create an unbiased, balanced story out of it. The story involves ORW's claim that it actually shut down an abortion clinic. It'll be big news for ORW seeing that they've collected over a million dollars in donations and this will be the first clinic they've ever shut down. Problem is they didn't.

The clinic on Central street did shut down, but ORW had nothing to do with it. The business was purchased by a pro-choice individual in the community and patient's are still receiving treatment, just not in that building. The facts don't matter to Lefler though who simply printed what ORW wanted him to print. In order to appear like a journalist who knows how to do his job properly he as Philip Brownlie, head of the regional Planned Parenthood about the effects of the sale on the availability of abortion. There was little point in asking him about the facts behind the sale because why would anyone expect someone practically in a different state to know about Wichita events. He did admit that he tried two other people but not being able to contact them he didn't need to try further.

No, instead he goes straight to the mouthpiece of convicted clinic bomber and full time domestic terrorist Cheryl Sullenger. Sullenger claims it was ORW who bought and closed the clinic. It's displayed right there on their website. I'm sure Dion must have spent a long time investigating whether or not their claims were true. Of course he didn't, because on the next page is a story from ORW about how they didn't know who bought the clinic but were just plum happy that it was closed.

Now why didn't Dion mention that? He considers himself an investigative reporter but can't take one minute to do any followup research on the story? This is the most pathetic reporting he's done since the butcher job he did reporting on the Maggot Punks. I suppose writing a balanced article would get in the way of his anti-choice agenda.

Getting a Free Abortion

Did you ever want to know what it's like from the perspective of the patient at the clinic? For a few years the Maggot Punks have seen many a patient harassed by the antis who rush up to the car and barrage them with nonsense. Well for once we decided to pose as a couple looking to enter into an abortion clinic just to see what sort of response we'd get.

Diva, one of the close, personal friends of the Maggot Punks served as the prospective patient, and D-Cubed served as the person behind the wheel. The camera was hidden in the back of the car and the loonies were provided by the local anti-choice groups.

We didn't go into Choices to get all the free offers they claimed.

Apparently Choices Medical Clinic (not an actual clinic but registered as a Christian ministry) will pay for the cost of the delivery as well as the child's education and other expenses associated with birth and the raising of the child. Considering their 2005 tax forms indicate that they operated $18,000 in the hole they can't afford to provide any services as indicated (their net revenue was a little less than $208,000). Since the vast majority of their expenses was involved in payroll and not in services (over $111,000 in payroll expenses) they are in the business to line their own pockets, not to help those to raise and care for families. They only gave out $4,722 in assistance to individuals, hardly the cost of one baby delivery.

We received a sizable packet of propaganda that still resides on my car floor. Glancing at it I saw the usual mess of misinformation, distortions and lunatic rambling that would otherwise be seen if someone vomited a bowl of Alphabits cereal.

Enjoy the short film.

The Maggot Punks information grapevine tells us that Jan Beemer has filed to run for State Representative for the 86th District again. Once again she'll be facing Judy Loganbill who won with 51% of the vote. Things will be a bit more difficult for Jan since she has to face off against a more level headed Republican, John Stevens. Will the single issue candidate who is obsessed with pornography have a chance against somebody who actually knows something about other issues? Time will tell.

But here at maggotpunks.com we'd like to inform you a bit more about the candidates, specifically Jan Beemer. John has the privilage of having a common name so finding out information about him is more difficult. But Jan is an attention whore so it's a bit easier. Jan is the head of Operation Southwind, fundies love to put the word 'Operation' in their title because it helps identify their organization as belonging to a series of right-wing crackpot organizations. Southwind is just something analogous to the rectal area and passing gas, so the title fits. Operation Southwind has the sole goal of ending the Freedom of Speech rights for anyone who Jan finds digusting. That is pretty much everyone. So even if Jan was to get elected and has to swear on the Constitution to uphold the rights of the Constitution for everyone she'd be lying.

Beemer associates with some of the less than desirable crowd in Wichita, and I'm not talking about her frequent visits to porn shops so she'll get all moist and offended. She has been known to associate with defrocked pastor Mark Hollick head of Operation Save America in Wichita, who invited a child molestor to town and personally took him to local high schools to "meet" with the children there. Beemer apparently doesn't have a problem with child molestors. The is also friends with Troy Newman, head of the terrorist organization Operation Rescue West (sheesh, that word Operation seems to be everywhere). Troy, who runs a side business buying real estate with funds donated to fight abortion, sold her a house for a mere $10 over what he paid for it. For a side business such transactions aren't very profitable.

Worst of all is Jan's record of paying her taxes. Twice she has run into problems with the IRS for failure to pay taxes. Not surprising is that she still owes some tax payments. She still owes $59.10 from unpaid taxes back in 2002. Forgetting to pay taxes might be excusable once even with every media outlet and mail to your house reminding you to pay them, but three times? That's rather inexcusable. Perhaps Jan doesn't realize that if she were to hold elected office it's those taxes that would pay her salary. It's also those taxes that pay for grand jury investigations into porn shops. I suppose she thinks others ought to pay the bills while she gets a free ride putting the burden on the rest of us.

Maybe she just doesn't have the money? Obsessive visits to porn shops can get expensive but Jan appears to have the money. Just a year after taking out a sizable mortgage to pay for her Newman house she was able to pay it all off. You see back in 2001 she was $26,000 in debt to the IRS, that was after being over $17,000 in debt with the IRS in 1997. All of a sudden she gets mortgages for two houses in 2005 totalling $78,000 and manages to pay off her debts with the IRS as well as paying off a mortgage for a previous house. Quite the quick financial turn around for a single woman with a history of financial problems. Perhaps she's getting financial advice from Troy Newman on how to cheat the system and walk away with a nice profit.
