The truth is clearly evident in the fact that those who defame simply just have to continue the lie by lying they did or do not know.

“He doesn’t have the right to lie and accuse people of crimes,” Sharpton said.

Tawana Brawley who? /Sharpton

“He doesn’t have the right to lie and accuse people of crimes,” Sharpton said. “He wants to criminalize me.

Ya’… only the Race Baiting Useful Idiots on the Left, like Sharpton, are allowed to make $#!+ up about the Right. He might as well start getting his legal team in order because I doubt Rush is going to apologize to that pathetic little grease-ball.

This should be good.

This just in from the Rich Irony department:

George Clooney thinks something has gone wrong when the media prints celebrity rumor and innuendo as fact.

Combining that ^^ with the recent attempts by James Carville and Alec Baldwin to “speak courting words” about Conservatives and Republicans, respectively, seems far too newly-bourne nice. I think it’s more of the Leftwing attempting to dampen the flames that are underway in the Left’s credibility.

…The law firm linked to reports of an IP address associated with misleading and defamatory attacks on Rush Limbaugh was a major source of campaign funds for Barack Obama.

FEC records* indicate that individuals associated with Patterson, Belknap, Webb & Tyler, LLC donated almost $100,000 to Obama’s 2008 campaign. Over the last ten years people associated with the firm donated another $80,000 dollars to the Democratic Party and thousands more to Democrats across the country, literally, from Oregon to Florida. Thousands more went to such radical left organizations as Emily’s List and MoveOn.org.

While a small number of other individuals donated a, not insubstantial, amount to Republican candidates over the past decade, those donations went to mainstream candidates and organizations and not to the extremist fringe–such as the leftists at George Soros funded MoveOn…

for the Wikipedia Libelist (important update)

George Clooney thinks something has gone wrong when the media prints celebrity rumor and innuendo as fact.

The star, a journalist’s son, said a news story used to require “two reliable sources, and that doesn’t seem to exist as much anymore.”

Clooney spoke Thursday at the London Film Festival, where one documentary in the lineup reveals how easily some newspapers can be duped into running fake stories about the famous.

The makers of “Starsuckers” fed false tips to British tabloids and then watched as some, though not all, ran them as legitimate news. The hoaxes included a story about Amy Winehouse’s trademark beehive hairdo catching fire.

“Starsuckers” director Chris Atkins said he “wanted to answer one simple question … How far will tabloid journalists go in the pursuit of their stories?” …

“The problem is that there’s so little reporting any more …. Somebody will write a story and it will be in 1,800 different outlets from one person’s story,” Clooney told reporters during a news conference to promote “The Men Who Stare at Goats,” a comedy about the U.S. military’s experiments with “psychic warfare.”

“Magic Negro” karma.

Come on, dude. We spent like an hour going over this yesterday, and I thought we were making some pretty good progress. We’ll treat you like an adult and have intelligent debates as soon as you start acting like one.

If you want to continue being a dishonest smear merchant, that’s a reflection on you, not Limbaugh.

Decider is certifiably dim.

why is it i cant make the TRUTHFUL comments about ohh
liberals and Islam without getting my ass sued off

But when they do it as long as they retract it within 72 hours well thats just fine and dandy..

My husband and I have been Charger season ticket holders going on 8 years and my husband is literally in mourning. In 25 years of marriage I have never seen him go silent like this wanting me to sell, not give as we usually do when we can’t make a game but to sell this weeks tickets for the Broncos game. I can’t believe this because Football was the only outlet we both had to get away from the day to day hassles and for that conduit to be contaminated by politics is unbelievable as now it is.

I’m not a football fan, but I understand how you feel about nothing, nothing being out of the reach of the tentacles of politics. I’ve even seen it in foodie articles. I’m as passionate about food as you and your hubby are about football — which probably means I’ll wind up shaped like one! A football, I mean. ;-)

I do have a suggestion: I don’t know if this will fill the hole, but in San Diego you have some excellent college football teams. (My husband’s cousin played for SDSU some years ago.) Maybe start packing those tailgate picnics to a college game?
