Condemned as “Not a Real Person” By Rush Limbaugh, a Small Businesswoman Speaks Out

[unblock]

63. who said dismissed?

i'm saying nothing definitive but others are acting as if this is an open and shut slam dunk victory.

all we have to go on is that rush said something about an online comment being from not a real person or from the white house or not having an actual small business or something. we don't have the exact words, and we don't have any indication that he dug into her business or her private life and revealed anything or identified her beyond what she herself put out there. we don't have demonstrable defamation. we don't have a clear connection between anything he said and any subsequent business lost.

by the way, it IS prefectly legal to call for a boycott of a business based on such things as public comments made by the owner. if i recognize my dry cleaner on the 6 o'clock news man on the street interview saying he's voting for rmoney, i'm perfectly free to distribute flyers in his heavily democratic neighborhood calling for a boycott of his business. and it wouldn't be a problem if i put in the flyer that he was an rnc tool.

i don't see that she's got a good case here at all. maybe there's more to it that i haven't seen yet, but i don't think any good lawyer would really care to go to battle against rush and his army of high-powered law firms based on the very thin evidence we've seen here.

if there is more to it, if the actual text of what rush said is indeed quite damning, then yeah, sure, have at it. i'd love to see rush pay for the crap he spews. but i'm just not seeing it here.

just seems to me a other think this is a 98% chance of beating rush and i think it's a 2% chance of beating rush.
