Only way most here would even know about Breitbart's BS is Scotty relaying the story as truth from Billo and Glen. And they'd all have shortly been made laughing stocks. Nope, the White House is the most culpable culprit here. Wonder who made the call. Emmanuel, Obama, Jarrett? Probably all of them. What a pack of suckers. Jim - They should remember, If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. George S. Patton I agree that the whitehouse ****ed up, in the very same way they and the congress ****ed up when Breitbart scammed them on the Acorn fiasco. They're so quick to want to sweep any controversy away that they get suckered with bad info. I think it was Vilsack who screwed the pooch. In any case, it puts the whitehouse in a bad light. It's refreshing to see you libbers telling the truth about this situation. |

They really blew it. What they did from top to Vilack was was dumb, dumb, dumb. They're trigger happy with their own and gun shy with the enemy. Seems bassackwards. Need to reinstall balls on the Democrats. Time for a Grayson pep talk. Definitely. |

Imagine, if you can, being such a loser that you have to post here with someone else's ID. Then quit doing it, spoofer. The ID Spoofer apparently doesn't realize how lame his spoofing makes him look. Well, what would you expect from LimpDick Jim, the retired navy paint chipper. |

Ha Ha, you poor dumb lame armchair lawyers. It will never get to 1st amendment, malice or anything else. Truth is complete defense to liable. Nothing he posted was untrue. The video was not edited, it was truncated. There is a huge difference. He showed part, but the part he showed was real. She said those remarks, and if she took them back five minutes later, that's her problem. And she admitted to being a racist when she met the farmer. Maybe she reformed, but again, too bad. And then there is the opinion defense which probably protects his written comments about her being a racist. And BTW, who the **** cares if she was a public figure when she made he speech, the question is, is she a public figure when the alleged libel was committed. If you're a public figure, the media can print stories that you cheated in 2nd grade with relative impunity (Bush snorted coke back in college and deserted the National Guard. BTW, did Dan Rather ever half to pay Bush on that one?) If you have any reason to believe it to be true, even if not, and the "victim" is a public figure, the public figure is screwed. Is Shirley Sherrod a public figure? HA! not even debatable. Of course she is! She's an appointed government official who's fitness for her position, not to metion whether she broke federal law by discriminating, has been called into question. This guy has so many defenses, the only issue is if he can't get backers and she buries him in legal fees. Otherwise, when the day is done, maybe on appeal, he wins hands down. You may hate him, I don't particularly like him, but don't kid yourself, he gets off. Speaking of armchair lawyers, your rap sounds like it comes directly from the comforts of a barcalounger. He intended to libel her by presenting the purposefully edited tape and then characterizing her actions as racist when he knew full well there was more to the story. It's not the editing job alone that hangs him by the balls, it's the whole package of mischaracterization and libel. I do have a very nice recliner, but that doesn't negate the fact that I am a real live lawyer with a degree and eveything. I even passed the bar almost 30 years ago. You should be able to tell I'm a lawyer from my arrogant attitude and didactic tone. Anyway, whether he intended to libel her or not simply doesn't matter if he never committed liable in the first place. Bar exam question: What are the elements of libel? Answer: 1.A false and defamatory statement concerning another; 2.The unprivileged publication of the statement to a third party; 3.If the defamatory matter is of public concern, fault amounting at least to negligence on the part of the publisher; and 4.Damage to the plaintiff. If you don't get past the first element, then nothing else matters. So, tell me, where is the "false statement?" |

Try going to law school instead of copying and pasting, and pretending you know what you're talking about. |
