| So for instance could a politician publicly label his opponent with lies and then claim no harm because the opponent was a public figure? Seems as if people lying in public about anyone would be opening themselves up for lawsuits. |

My Mood: | Yeah, that was before Ratzinger got his fancy new dress and even back then, he was known to be an unbearable misogynistic piece of shit in Germany, basically John Paul's Dick Cheney.

Under U.S. law, in order to be guilty of libel against a public figure such as Burnett, a publication must be shown to have knowingly, or with reckless regard for the truth, disseminated facts that were false and defamatory, IMHO, there is definitely a reasonable case for a lawsuit, but of course, it's American jurisprudence after that.

| Okay, if you mugs wouldn't quote Perp I wouldn't even know what he was saying. But... having said that! Stop making me agree with him! I'm sorry, but I think Bill Maher is vile. He's every bit as big a misogynist pig as Rush Limbaugh. The difference between Bill Maher and Limbaugh is that Maher is on HBO. HBO doesn't have sponsors. We pay for the priviledge of watching HBO. If you don't like HBO then organize a boycott. |

| Based on the effect Rush has, I'd say God is charging mighty high interest for that "loan".

My Mood: Client: Exodus | Exactly. That's why I'm so stunned by that statement. To be honest, its not only an issue of Free Speech, if you view Limbaugh's show as a product, its a function of the market as well. |

(Er.. not necessarily "recalls" like "dies".. but at least gets rid of whatever it is that makes loonies describe him as a gift/loan. I wrote the "please take back that loan" thing and then realized that it sounded awfully bad. How about "shut up rush" written in the clouds or something?) | |

Hail Woz, the great and
powerful!
| No, I come up with a working theory of what may be the issue and that directs my research. Even if I was an expert in what was the issue I could not call a diagnosis on myself ... it is impossible to diagnose a problem from inside it (and my judgement in such could hardly be called unbiased).

My Mood: | Passive aggressive? Congrats on the thick skin, my post seemed to me rather plainly critical of your sweeping generalization. Eh, when you make it less sweeping, kinda loses its punch, don't it? If writing ever pales, I really think you could run a terrific contentious radio show. You have a lot of the techniques down, and it would be fun to see one of those 'mad dog' call-in shows run by a liberal. I wonder if there is one already? |

If I excised all of your posts on SLU that are to the effect of "oh hey I'm not going to read this post because [I don't like you] [Cris' moderation sucks] [this forum sucks] [Prokofy] but I still needed to take the time to write a public post saying I wasn't reading yours!" I'm fairly certain there wouldn't be anything left. |

This despite the fact that Maher got got himself kicked of the public airwaves, for doing much less, and not nearly as often, as Rush who we're supposedly just biased against despite still suffering less for being a much greater asshole. It's the standard diversionary tactic of a 6yo, trying to lessen their own punish for misbehavior, or at least get the other people punished twice. If mine had anything to do with it I wouldn't be praying I'd be filing a complaint. Might be funny from a loftier height, but we have to live with the bastard.
