Masters of Their Domain

Well, as of June 29,2007 the vanguard website is on hiatus, referring visitors to a blog, which was last posted to over one month ago. Looks like the right and the web aborted their net roots baby in the second trimester ?

I knew there was a reason I never used paypal. Where I couldn't use a credit card, I always found myself scrolling off the snail mail order form to get that money order at the local Post Office. RightMarch? Vanguard? Give me a break.

Once it starts going it won't need to be top down anymore! Didn't Marx believe that once communism got going the state would wither away? Is that what happened when the wall fell?

I have to say the commenter from July 26th nearly stole my thunder. Rod Martin is a complete and total phony. I used to know Rod very well. All of the things Thomas said are true. He used Eagle Forum's mailing list to raise nearly $100,000 for a congressional race against Vic Snyder in Arkansas's 2nd district. He didn't count on another Repub entering the race at the last minute. The other guy raised less than $20,000 and slaughtered Rod by a nearly 2 to 1 margin. Rod hadn't bothered to use the money he raised for any actual campaign purpose and actually ended up with sizable unpaid debts. So what did he spend his 6 figure warchest on? Rent for his "office", a rent house which on occasion had a cheap looking Rod Martin for Congress sign, the only one of its kind by the way, a rental car, and food, mostly. There were items listed on his FEC reports such as $11.00 (approximation) for "volunteer lunches" at a restaurant where food for one person costs about $10-11.

The best part of that is an article published earlier this year in Human Events, which was most likely written by Rod (a favorite trick of his), but was published in another name, describing him as the second coming, more or less. The explanation offered for his slaughter in the 2000 primary? Democrats were so scared of him that they actually recruited a candidate to beat him in the Republican primary... If he was so formidable, why was he beaten so soundly in a Republican primary by a guy that even party officials had never heard of? Did democrats also trick Rod into not buying any campaign materials (yard signs, bumper stickers, push cards, etc...)?

Rod's been pawning lies like this for years. I can remember the moment when I started to realize what an ambitious sheister he is. He once told me that he knew from the time that he was 11 that we would be president of the United States. There are probably lots of goobers who think that, many of whom actually rise to high political offices, but Rod is a grade A, know-it-all nobody. He can talk up a storm and sound intelligent, but when it comes to doing any real work he's nowhere to be seen. He thinks he's too good for that, so he usually has a half dozen minions who follow him around doing his menial tasks thinking he's the greatest thing in the world. Every once in a while the wool comes off and they see that the emperor has has no clothes.

"Don't know about Martin's campaign, but Phyllis Schlafly (head of Eagle Forum) wrote a chapter in his book afterward,so it's kind of hard to see how he could have stolen a list from her."

Nice try, Rod. You know plenty about your campaign. Maybe we should find Leah and ask her.

I especially like how you talk about national Eagle Forum, as opposed to Eagle Forum of Arkansas, for whom you were once executive director and from whom you stole the aforementioned mailing list.

Having lunched with Phyllis, recently, I can tell you that she was rather nonplussed when I recounted your unscrupulous activities while working for Eagle Forum of Arkansas. She verified the it with Betsy Hagan, the head of the Arkansas group. As I said, she was not happy.

Now you're with the CIA, huh? You continue to build the facade of your hollow legend. But I guess that's what a snake oil salesman does. I particularly like how you refer to yourself as "Dr. Martin" on your pitiful website. Since when do people with Juris Doctors refer to themselves as "Doctor"? While I'm on the subject, would you mind telling us why you voluntarily relinquished your Arkansas law license last year? I can honestly say that I've never heard of anyone doing that.

Pretending to be someone warning people about what a bogeyman you are is truly pathetic.

"They're from an anti-Huckabee blogger, here http://arkjournal.com/2007/08/therearguardorg.html Appears to be wingnuts who hate Martin (and maybe they really do hate him), but their main target is Mike Huckabee (Martin used to work for him, and there's a glowing quote by him on TheVanguard.org)."

That's a bit transparent, don't you think? Seriously, pointing out that Mike Huckabee said nice stuff about you? Why don't you tell us about the fact that you were asked to leave Huckabee's administration for misusing government property for personal gain? You should reprint what you wrote for John Mark's blurb about you, too.

How's your conservative answer to MoveOn.org going? Not too well, if no content or readership are any measure.

For those of you who haven't figured this out, "watcher" is Rod Martin pretending to be someone warning you about what a dangerous conservative Rod is. Believe me, he's not. Everything I wrote about him in my previous comment is true. And Andrews seems to know a thing or two, as well.

Really, this thread is five months old. Did you actually think people would believe that there's some random person out there, named "watcher", who felt so moved that they just had to write something about what how great you are?

What a joke.

This is a great topic for writing master's dissertation.
