Newsweek - Gannon's Enemies List

[Catchawave]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6999385/site/newsweek/

Feb. 28 issue - Jeff Gannon is considering suing liberal interest groups, bloggers and others for a "political assassination" that drove him from his job as a reporter for a conservative news outfit called Talon News, he told NEWSWEEK. Gannon, whose real name is James Guckert, singled out Media Matters—a "well-funded" liberal group headed by longtime "attack dog" David Brock. ("Everything we wrote about him came from the public record," Brock replied.)

1. Hmm, lawsuits = subpeonas and discovery motions - yup, that'll happen n/t

[union_maid]

3. I'm not a lawyer but...

I seem to recall that truth is a defense in libel cases. I don't think Gannon needs to go there.

[WolverineDG]

43. yup, it is

and if mr. gannon is being this big of a cry-baby over those "evil" liberal bloggers, he's going to have a complete mental breakdown when faced with defense attorneys serving him with discovery & deposition requests.....karma's a bitch, jeff.

dg

[Seabiscuit]

78. Right - truth is an *absolute* defense to libel charges.

Mr. Brock should take Al Franken's approach to FOX/O'Liely - PLEASE, PLEASE SUE ME!!!

[paineinthearse]

65. Bring it on!

That would open the subpoening of White House records related the to Plame memo leak, as well as to Ari Fleischer, Scott McClellan and who know who else! I say, BRING IT ON.

[AnneD]

84. Amen

You can bet your slush fund money this will be silenced at the highest levels and never see the light of a court house day. Gannon may meet Jesus before he meets with an attorney.

[mattclearing]

95. hahaha...

Gotta love it.

But let's assume for a second they are that stupid, or they have cut Gannon loose and he stupidly runs for a lawyer.

What a disaster that would be.

:D

[arikara]

99. Small planes or perhaps another suicide managed while unconscious...

Ganuckert should take care, a man-date could be expendable.

[Blue_In_AK]

104. Exactly my point in another thread... n/t

[MsMagnificent]

108. ROFLMAO GREAT TAG -- whose is it?

[mountainvue]

103. Really. I have to wonder about all

the jawboning this guy is doing. Is he safeguarding himself so he can't die in a small plane crash? Or is he just that stupid? There are so many angles to this story.

[radfringe]

125. so would this fall under

the category of a "real" lawsuit that clogs up the courts or a "frivoulous" one that clogs up the courts

funny how these "morAns" bash lawyers and then go running to their own lawyer in a blink of an eye

well - I say let him sue -- and then let the whole can of worms come tumbling out

[H2O Man]

2. Now, hasn't our heroic

president spoke about the need to end unfounded law suits? Maybe he could start with his buddy Gannon.

[B Calm]

4. Oh yes, I can see Bush now condemning his close buddy about

unfounded law suits.... ha ha

[mod mom]

64. that concerns class actions that hurt corporations, this kind is ok nt

[merh]

76. Do you think jimmy-jeff may want to keep this public so that the

doesn't have any accidents?

[Cha]

92. Yeah, remember..

Bush Accuser Dies Of Drug Overdose

James Howard Hatfield, 43, Author Of "Fortunate Son:
George W. Bush and the Making of an American President"
Found Dead In A Hotel Room On Wednesday July 18, 2001

Was This A Payback Murder For His Writing Fortunate Son, Or Did
He Really Commit Suicide By Overdosing On Prescription Drugs?



by Irene Noguchi

The troubled author of a biography accusing President Bush of hiding a three-decade-old cocaine arrest committed suicide Wednesday. James Howard Hatfield, 43, was found in a hotel room in Springdale, Ark., and appeared to have died from a overdose of prescription drugs, police said.

[merh]

98. I betcha jj has gotten a pychiatrist to evaluate his mental state,

he has had a doctor take his blood to determine that he doesn't use drugs, he refuses to fly in small planes or travel in any obsure area. I would surmise he is never alone, sleeps with smith & wesson in a safe room, has left video, audio and documented evidence of his "existence" and the extent of his involvement with his attorney and locked in a safety deposit box. He probably travels in an armored humvee (they make those in the states by special order).

[bunkerbuster1]

5. What a wuss.

he wasn't "driven" from his "job."

He wimped out when the heat was on.

By all means, you fraudulent POS--go after Media Matters. They can use the publicity.

[Just Me]

50. Now, he has a taste of what it's like to be a target of the radical RW.

And he will not be the last.

Blowback!!! They have it coming to them!!! They are responsible for starting this war. They will just have to suck it up and accept personal responsibility for inciting this whole freakin' situation!!!

[hlthe2b]

56. Ahh, yes. Don't you just know how much David Brock would relish that!

.... the last feeble stab at defense, Jim/Jeff?

[FreedomAngel82]

69. Exactly!!

Remember his whole post on his website saying how he was quitting? HE QUIT! What a baby!!

[leveymg]

6. Countersuit?. Would love to get him and Eberle on the stand under oath.

First question to Eberle: "Mr. Eberle, would you please describe the content of all comunications you have had with White House staff since January 20, 2000."

That ought to get us started . . .

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. How about this question

Mr. Gannon, describe the nature of your relationship with ______.

ROFLMAO

[Cooley Hurd]

7. That's the LAST thing the WH would want...

to keep dragging this out, in a court of law with people under oath.

Gannon, meet Hatfield...

[tavalon]

27. Hatfield?

I don't know the specific reference but I suspect what it means.

Bush Accuser Dies Of Drug Overdose

James Howard Hatfield, 43, Author Of "Fortunate Son:
George W. Bush and the Making of an American President"

http://www.lovearth.net/fortunateson.htm

[calimary]

32. I believe that was James Hatfield - the guy who wrote "Fortunate Son"

who had - well, some complications in his past (I believe it was drug-related) but certainly NOTHING like the weenie-on-the-web business that our dear friend "Gannon" had going on. Hatfield's book got into many areas of little bushie's life that little bushie and famiily and friends would NOT like you to know about. Eventually, Hatfield was found dead in his apartment - no, hotel room as the poster above, chelaque liberal, has it. "Suicided," apparently.

But in the case of our boy "Gannon" - I mean, you have your naked photos plastered on the internet, showing yourself not ONLY naked, but hard, and (I understand although I have not seen it myself) urinating, and - again, you have those photos posted ON THE INTERNET on at least one site where you are ADVERTISING YOUR SERVICES AS AN "ESCORT" FOR 200 DOLLARS A NIGHT OR 1200 DOLLARS A WEEKEND - and you claim your privacy is being invaded?!?!?!?!?!?!??

Like former Senator Gary Hart, who was fooling around on his wife while launching a presidential campaign, dared reporters to follow him around and dig up dirt on that, and they did, and they found MORE than enough to up-end his campaign. STOOOOOOOOOPID. If you're gonna say "bring 'em on," you better have your ass nice and clean. Or at least covered - and NOT in color photos on the web, and not erect, and certainly not urinating.

Typical bloviating in-yer-face wrong-winger - trying to go on preemptive attack to throw the bloodhounds off his trail. Trying to turn it around so the OTHER guy looks bad. Next he'll be saying the system is rigged and the evidence was planted.

[FreedomAngel82]

70. If I was a judge

and involved in this and knew all this information here and he came into my court room I'd be laughing my ass off at him and tell him to go get a life. :eyes:

[CAcyclist]

111. The judge will say:

As the judge said in - was it Franken's case? I paraphrase:


"There are some cases that are difficult to decide. This is not one of them."

[Pirate Smile]

48. Here is a new Diary on DailyKos about this topic

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/2/20/6432/29346

[dhinojosa]

8. Tough shit...the frivolous lawsuirt passed.

hahahha

[cascadiance]

129. I bet Rossi is seething at Gannon now too! n/t

Poor Rossi has more reasons to have to end his frivolous lawsuits too!

[Why Syzygy]

9. Phony journalist sues Real journalist

see ya in court!

[calimary]

34. Well, that would be one way to get everybody under oath.

And to raise a stink of suspicion about those who will most certainly REFUSE to be subpoenaed. One guess who THEY are.

[w13rd0]

10. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, ok, whatever jackass JeffJames. That's pretty damn funny. Frivolous lawsuits...

[Mist]

11. Oh, PLEASE, Jeffy, do it! n/t

[Disturbed]

12. Is this guy really this stupid?

Maybe he has a death wish?

The Fascists want this idiot to shut up and this story to slip down the memory hole. If he keeps this in the public his life may be real short.

[Gman]

20. You got that right!

JeffJames is a dead man if he does this. He'll probably be found dead after committing suicide in some form or fashion. It won't be a small plane crash. That's special and reserved for U.S. Senators or U.S. Senate candidates.

[tavalon]

28. Isn't it funny

how many of us have taken to calling him Jeffy or Jeffie? As in "Poor Widdle Jeffie".

[grace0418]

13. That would be BRILLIANT! Sue away Jeff/James!

Then we could get this story on the news even more! There's no such thing as bad publicity, especially when we have the truth on our side!

[tsuki]

14. Lawsuits are too risky for Gannon. He will be the first to give

a deposition. And if he thinks that Anderson Cooper was harsh, just wait until a team of lawyers start asking questions. And you have to answer all of the questions, even the ones objected to (at least in FL.)

Personally, I'll donate to David Brock's defense fund if Guckert does sue. And I'll include a bunch of questions that I'd like to see answered.

Also, GOPUSA persons could be deposed. Whoaaaa.

It's empty threat time. I'm :scared:

[Bouncy Ball]

88. I'll donate to Media Matters AND to Brock's defense fund in that case.

Hell, I need to give a donation to Media Matters anyway.

Thanks for the reminder, "Gannon!" LOL!

[Kahuna]

15. Aw Jeez. So the repukes are going to fund him like they did..

Paula Jones. I dare say that Media Matters will find a lot of supporters to help them fight a lawsuit. Myself included. Bring it on, Jeffy boy.

[Quixote1818]

120. Actually, I would think Republicans would just want this to go away

If he sues then it will get a lot more press and I am sure most Republicans would rather this whole thing just disappear especially because the guy is a male prostitute with ties to people in the Whitehorse.

[SpiralHawk]

17. That's right "Jeff" -- stir the Shit Pot with vigor

The public is craving to know whether it STINKS as badly as is likely.

[calimary]

35. Maybe not all the public is, but if he does indeed keep stirring the pot,

even those who say they're bored or that we should all "move on," will start to get interested.

We just need to put a few people under oath...

[sickinohio]

45. I don't think we should "move on" or become too "bored"

with this. We should keep pounding at this subject until all truth is revealed - until "Faux News" finally covers the subject. Until ALL the crooks are jailed. My counterpart at work is a rePuke and watches only Faux news. I asked her this past Friday if she has ever heard of "Gannon/Fuc*ert", and you guessed it - her answer was "who's Gannon/Fuc*kert?". Most friggin rePukes know nothing about this story because of the Faux News and MSM non-coverage of the subject.

We can't let this die. We can't move on. The truth and dishonesty of this administration must be revealed until the living-in-their-own-little-world rePukes finally see who they voted into our WH!!!

I think the Gannon/Fuc*ert story is only the tip of the iceberg!!

[calimary]

122. Agreed. This needs to be kept alive.

It does seem to be developing legs of its own, happily enough. But that doesn't mean we can't help it along.

[prodigal_green]

18. how about throwing him in jail

for impersonating military personnel and for prostitution.

How long do you think it will be before Mr. Gangert is "suicided?"

[0007]

23. Perhaps Jeff baby will develope brain cancer like Jack Ruby

& Casey? |

[KittyWampus]

19. More-

It remains unclear how Gannon got routine White House press access for nearly two years; he acknowledged he first began getting clearance to White House press briefings in early 2003 as a representative of GOPUSA, a group headed by Texas GOP activist Bobby Eberle—months before Eberle even created Talon News. Gannon said he had no access to White House aides outside the press room, nor did he try to interview any. When President Bush called on him at a press conference last month—during which he asked a question with false info about Sen. Harry Reid—"nobody was more surprised than myself," said Gannon.

[KittyWampus]

21. Brock- Everything Was Public Info... Imagine If Bloggers Had Resources

credentials and contacts the way "journalists" have?

[DoYouEverWonder]

22. ROFLMAO - This fiasco just keeps getting better

Odd that Gannon would claim that he had no access to the WH outside of the press room?


he acknowledged he first began getting clearance to White House press briefings in early 2003 as a representative of GOPUSA, a group headed by Texas GOP activist Bobby Eberle—months before Eberle even created Talon News. Gannon said he had no access to White House aides outside the press room, nor did he try to interview any.


Well then who was it then that went to at least two WH Christmas parties, the WH Corespondents Dinner and Ari's Going Away Party? I know Gannon's got some personal identity issues, but now he trying to pretend he wasn't connected? Especially after bragging about it on Free Republic for the last year?

Besides Gannon didn't have to worry about doing interviews with WH officials, that was Bobby Eberle's domain. Bobby was the one who got a rare interview with Karl Rove a while back. Too bad they've scrubbed most of the copies of it.

[TroglodyteScholar]

24. Not to be a freeper, but...

Brock does have a history of ruthless and dishonest smears -- when he was working for them. I'm not saying that makes the legal threat legit, but it might give it a leg to stand on. Wouldn't that be sad?

[shrike]

30. Have you seen the websites?

I have -- well, what I could stand of them, anyway. It ain't a smear, believe me.

[calimary]

37. Maybe, but it also means he knows how the bad guys operate,

since he used to be one of 'em. He knows what they're likely to try to do. He knows what to look for, and what to be prepared for. He knows their mind because he used to be inside it. He knows all their tricks. He used to DO some of them. Only now, he's on OUR side, with THEIR playbook. Reminds me of Seven-of-Nine in "Star Trek Voyager." She used to be a Borg drone. But they rescued her. She wasn't a drone anymore, but she remembered EVERYTHING, and it made for LOTS of advantages when the Voyager crew came up against the Borg from time to time.

He who lives by the sword shall die by it.

And BTW - no, it's NOT a smear. He had all that gnarly stuff PUT ON THE INTERNET, in living color. NOBODY held a gun to his head and forced him to pose like that and advertise himself like that. Let him try and make himself out to be some choirboy. And YES he was bragging about it - also on the internet. Nobody's saying anything about him that HE DIDN'T HAVE POSTED, HIMSELF, OR ON HIS BEHALF by some website designer, FOR HIS OWN BENEFIT.

Not only that but he'd also have to sue Maureen Dowd of the New York Times and any number of other people in the "mainstream" G-rated press who've mentioned his websites by name. Five of them by my count. I mean, "Jeffie," dear boy, don't scream at people for squirting water on you when you insist on running around in public in flaming underwear.

[Bouncy Ball]

90. Nah,

anyone who has really followed Brock's history would know that really couldn't be used against him, since it is really relevant to this at all.

I mean, you could try to stretch things to say so, but it's just not very solid at all.

Besides, there'd be so much light and heat generated by Gannon's life and his "career" and all those who aided and abetted him, they'd never have a CHANCE to get to Brock! LOL!

[booley]

25. it's not Libel if it's TRUE

Not that I expect a con to understand the principals behind our Country and Government.

especially one taught in every public school in america.

BUT PLEASE, let him do this! Becuase so much can come out during a trial.

[sendero]

26. That would be so sweet...

...... let's get in a court and get to the "bottom" of this once and for all.

Trust me, he's as likely to sue as he is to go straight. Not gonna happen. More bullying tactics - he's trying to shut everyone up before they really do get to the bottom of this.

[bush_is_wacko]

29. If I were Gannon/Guckert I think I'd be hiding about now.

Chimpy and the administration isn't going to take kindly to all the investigations that would arise from a lawsuit. This guy is going to take a fall for this administration. I would bet money on it.

The only way they can keep this story under wraps at this point is to make Guckert disappear.

[wryter2000]

54. Saweeeet!

LMAO. It gets better and better.

I wonder if Franken will do a riff on this. After all, he spent the first several months of his show trying to get O'Really to sue him again.

We got your back, David Brock!

[FreedomAngel82]

75. Has someone

saved his post's that could be of importance by screen shot and everything? In case this does happen it could be of some use to Mr. Brock.

[rehema]

39. Oh now JimJeff had a JOB at Talon News...

"Jeff Gannon is considering suing liberal interest groups, bloggers and others for a "political assassination" that drove him from his job as a reporter."

Oh, so now he had a "job" at Talon News and was not a "volunteer" reporter.

JimJeff should stop lying and trying to use MSM to bluff folks.

Where is the IRS when you need them... oh they are busy investigating the NAACP.

[Eric J in MN]

40. Best news I've read this morning. A lawsuit will keep this story in the

news for months or years.

[TexasLawyer]

71. My thought exactly

It will be just like the FOX suit against Al Franken for his use of the phrase "fair and balanced". That suit (or the threat of the suit--can't remember if FOX actually filed it) turned the "Lying Liars..." book into a best-seller and it highlighted- for the reddest parts of the red states-- the extreme UNfairness and UNbalanced nature of FOX's reporting.

Bring it on!

[Eric J in MN]

109. Fox did file a lawsuit over the Franken book and it was

summarily dismissed.

[No Exit]

41. I look forward to Jeffy-Jim's SWORN TESTIMONY in such

a suit. Be careful what you wish for, Jeffy-Jim!

[No Exit]

42. It's a VAST LEFT-WING CONSPIRACY!!! AAAAAHHHH!!

[mopinko]

44. go ahead, make my day nt

[pdxmom]

46. This could actually get interesting

None other than Michael Isikoff had a hand in this article. While it's short and sweet for the moment, I think the fact that Isikoff put his name on it means that the MSM is going to be digging deeper. He wouldn't want his name on that if he didn't think it was going somewhere. Too much ego for that.

[riverwalker]

58. good point about Isikoff

it will also enable the MSM to report on the story in a non-drudgeified manner saying "it has been alleged in the suit" or "lawyers say....." as a more professional way to do the "some people say....".

[ret5hd]

47. DISCOVERY!!!

Someone should remind him of the legal process and the stage of it called "discovery". I think that would shut him up REAL quick.

[justiceischeap]

51. I wrote about that very thing on The Correction

If you're interested

http://www.thecorrection.org/blog3/archives/2005/02/jeff_gannon_thr_1.php

[lala_rawraw]

62. Oh wait...

I think we can counter because our tax $$ were used and I think Clinton should sue for political assasination. Oh let's all sue, please. This guy is clearly having some additional pillow time with his Brick House man; or he is really that stupid.

[kikiek]

49. Good keep it on the front page. I think those new tapes are a lame attempt

by Rove to distract once again. The media will focus on the softball crap and completely bypass the real shit.

[FreedomAngel82]

77. I agree

This could be the thing that could uncover a lot of secrets. At least if he's connected to someone directly in the Bush administration.

[pdxmom]

79. Agreed. I see a divide and conquer move coming up and

we're going to see a lot of this. Distract and defuse. Lots of little "non-stories" out there that are keeping the general public from seeing what is going on.

Along those same lines, I think Clinton was asked to do this tsunami thing with Poppy as a way to keep him quiet during the social security debate. They keep misrepresenting what Clinton called for while in office, and Clinton can't very well come out and call them liars and manipulators while he's doing good will work with Poppy.

[kikiek]

89. Yes. Everything they do has an ulterior motive.

[lala_rawraw]

106. yep

I agree...and the NYT reporter is a shill or simply and otherwise useless.

[Chipper Chat]

112. FOX is covering these tapes. Laurie Dhue gushes.

So you know where this came from.

[JDPriestly]

53. "Political assassination"?

What's his claim? What would he sue for? What was the wrong? Making a big bad marine cry? Who would have any sympathy for him? A lawsuit is just a ticket to nowhere for Gannon/Guckert because it would just put a big spotlight on the dirt about his life.

The interesting thing is that Gannon/Guckert does not appear to be getting any guidance from anywhere on how to handle himself. Doesn't he have any friends?

Surely he isn't so naive as to think that the right wing is going to support him. They don't like his "kind," period. And no politician who caters to the right wing is going to want to be seen supporting what he stands for. He's been betrayed -- not by bloggers of the left, but by the phonies on the right.

David Brock is probably the first to understand how Gannon/Guckert feels. After all, David Brock has done that and been there. If Gannon/Guckert is smart, he'll take a page from Brock, turn on the right wingers who have used him and abandoned him and tell all. He could probably make more money by writing an expose on his experiences with the Republican propaganda machine than by suing someone.

[FreedomAngel82]

80. Good advice

but I don't think it'll happen. Guckert has too much pride it seems in himself and he probably thinks his freeper friends will help him. They probably won't unless it's some protesting or whatever. Did they still do that?

[Bouncy Ball]

91. YEP. You said it.

But I doubt Gannon is as smart as Brock is.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

55. Doesn't This Mean

He's going to need one of those demonic, underhanded, overpaid trial lawyers??

Or are they only demonic when suing corporations....

[trapper914]

57. Yeah...Good luck with that Jimmy

Truth is always a defense...and even if something weren't 100% correct, the minute Jimmy put himself on the public stage, he limited his defense in any libel/defamation action. As a public figure ("journalist," radio host, softball tosser, internet stud), he'd have to prove reckless disregard for the truth.

[lala_rawraw]

59. Please sue...

I want him to do it so that he can be tried for treason by leaking the Plame docs.

[Vinca]

60. Wouldn't that be a liberal's dream come true?

All of a sudden a reason to subpoena virtually the entire White House staff and then some, plus members of the news media who routinely shill for Bush and, as an added bonus, be able to put evidence out for all to see about the questionable web sites, escort services and, of course, the photos. Media Matters must be salivating.

[autorank]

61. OK, lets see...you put nude pictures ON THE INTERNET advertising

a mail prostitution DBMS service...and you're going to fucking sue anybody. GIVE ME A BREAK! Wonder where he thinks he'll find a 'friendly' jury'...ancient Babylon?

He's seen the right wing slime machine up close and personal. Was even once a part of it, before seeing the light and (to his credit) working to do some good now.

Gannon was flat-out wrong for getting into the WH press corps with no journalistic credentials and whomever let him in was wrong, too.

Period.

All the bloggers did was bust him. And good.

Woohoo!! Dumbya's got his Monica - and this one's a deusy!! WOOHOO!!

94. Let him.

Libel requires publication, damage to reputation, and lack of truthfulness.

All of the allegations about him are true, and he has put himself in the public eye. He is not a private person.

Wish Ken Starr good luck with this one, because Gannon has no case.

96. This may be just his excuse to reveal ALL that he knows

"Sorry, George and Karl, the judge made me do it!"

[BigBearJohn]

97. LAWSUIT, eh? Maybe we should sue HIM (it'll keep it in the news!)

Any lawyers out there have any ideas of what grounds we could create a class action suit on? (wouldnt that stick in *'s craw!)

[McCamy Taylor]

101. Sue Me! I have no money and I need the publicity!

102. Bring it on...you male Internet escort & tax cheat Repuke media lapdog!

Go ahead try to sue me. I'm sure it would be helpful to have more of your SORDID background and activity come out in court discovery. It would be nice to have all of your bullshit in a court record.

105. This is tantamount to a suicide note.

Or going up to a sociopath, and saying
please kill me.

[OKthatsIT]

107. Litigation...makes for a MUTE White House Press Secretary

....all the White House has to say is, "We cannot comment on this because its in litigation."

And then we are all shut up'ed!

110. The more publicity the better. Sue Jeff, C'mon.

[Maestro]

113. Sue Jeff, Sue, Sue, Sue

The more lawsuits the better. It will force the public to see what a sham the MSM's are plus open up the White House and then show what a complete ass you really are along with all of your friends like Rove and ...Well you know who.

115. dang frivolous lawsuits

those neo-cons might have a point after all!

116. Monica gets prettier all the time!!!

I bet Clinton is getting a good chuckle at this.
(when 41 goes to bed)
I don't know I bet Gannon wouldn't look too bad with her "do" and one of her purses!!

photoshop anyone?

[Hissyspit]

117. Is "Gannon"/Guckert TOO much in the limelight to end up a "suicide"?

Spence and the "Fortunate Son" guy (James Hatfield) were not as well known? (Forget Spence's first name)

[MADem]

124. I think that is precisely why he is shooting off his mouth

...in rather wild fashion. I think he is scurrying around, afraid he is gonna get hit by a crosstown bus in the dead of night. Problem is, though, if he keeps accusing people of saying mean things, and questioning THEIR integrity, they could possibly develop the basis for a countersuit.

Oooh, to get them all under oath! Of course, liars will lie, even if they swear to tell the truth...

[CoffeeCat]

118. Sorry Jeff, Bush just signed legislative reform!

The pResident just inked sweeping legislative reform that will definitely affect the amount of your settlement.

Let's see here...under the new laws, anyone with a successful libel claim gets...

68 cents!

Good luck with that.

126. A right-winger that's not opposed to frivolous lawsuits?

What's up with that? I thought frivolous lawsuits were destroying America?

Oh, wait. That's legitimate lawsuits that are damaging America. The frivolous ones get thrown out.

[UL_Approved]

130. I want Dan Rather and CBS to sue the Free Republic

Take the fuckers to court for all its worth.

If this case gets allowed in court, then I want Rather to sue the Free Republic and GOPUSA, Talon News, and all of these other two-faced prostitutes for the memo incident.

I didn't even make a charged remark about the gay prostitution in that last sentence. Although well within the realm of factual reality, any statement which would express my opinion in an unrestrictive way would be in violation of Democratic Underground posting rules.
