Page 2 says that Ann Coulter is a troll and unfortunately Elizabeth Edwards took the bait

I think Edwards has a point though, and it is the same think Stewart railed on the Crossfire peeps about. The media in this country is doing a good job of blinding America with their hype machines and their not focusing properly on issues. Like Bobby mentioned, I'll place some of the blame on the tv shows for giving the sorry whore a voice.

Asking someone to not make inappropriate personal comments is not censorship, she can still say what she wants. However, she cannot expect people to not respond to her words and let her know that know that they are unacceptable in our society. Its the same that her publisher can decide not to print something inflammatory and it does not violate her right to say it.

As for libel: Her comments border several areas, particularly when she if she was calling John Edwards gay when she called him a faggot. Potentially, it could fall into an area of libel about a person's sexuality/promiscuity. Comments about him being a blood sucking attorney potentially could fall into liable against his business.

Its certainly not clear cut and would be a stretch in an actual court of law, but libel is not protected under the first amendment and if I had to write a memo for school saying these words were libel or political speech, it would be a lot easier to argue that these comments are libel than political, when they clearly are in a gray area.

charging someone for libel bfor saying a trial lawyer is blood sucking is a perfect example of how fucked up this country is and how meaningless shit gets blown out of proportion...might as well sue your dry cleaner for $50 million since they made a mistake with a pair of pants...hey maybe Edwards will represent you in court

God, get the hell out of this thread with your elementary commentary. Go play with dnl. You aren't adding crap to this discussion other than snarky bullshit. You're like a hooksaw, with any substance that he attempts to bring removed. Stop trolling this section. You aren't intelligent. You aren't clever. You aren't adding anything but crap, vitriol, and just a general oppression to this section.

Here is the type of comment you make

Quote :

"


Nice snarky addition, really adds thread value!

Oh, and this one

Quote :
"all i know is this is today's "get your liberal panties in a wad" topic thats SOOOOO IMPORTANT /sarcasm

wow, two stupid bitches talking shit to each other...who gives a flying fuck"


Quality!!

Or this
Quote :
"or perhaps elizabeth edwards is just against freedom of speech"

Definitely a good comment and worth thoughtful discussion!

Or this

Quote :
"if edwards got elected i wonder if elizabeth edwards would call up saturday night live and jay leno and david letterman every single day and say "stop with the personal attacks""

Man, thats some good stuff. I bet everybody in this section really enjoys your posts here. Rich with content, new insights, and enlightening to a different viewpoint on a daily basis.


You have nearly succeeded in turning this into Chit Chat heavy. Congrats!

Your turn, troll away!!

Dude

TreeTwista

You do realize that there is a world of difference between suing somebody or having them arrested for what they said and calling asking them to stop, right?

If you call my dead grandmother the tastiest piece of ass in the graveyard and I say, "What the fuck, man, don't say shit like that," do I hate free speech?

I did not say he had a cause of action to sue, but just connected her statements with recognized standards of libel/slander that are not protected by the first amendment. You go off on a tangent about whats wrong with the legal system and others pick stupid fights.

This whole discussion has turned into an Coulter-style pissing contest.

for something to be libel it has to be a false statement

if you used to be in the KKK...and i said publicly that you used to be in the KKK...it doesnt matter if it tarnishes your reputation or not...if its TRUE, its not libel

my 4 year old niece knows that...you know it too, but if you admitted it you wouldnt come across as the troll you like to come across as

and if you'll notice, i dont think the law student had any complaints with my definitions of libel...only you, the non-law student, had a problem

"I am glad Elizabeth Edwards called Coulter out on her crap. The day before this occurred, Coulter wished that Edwards would be killed by terrorists, which makes all prior comments relevant when Coulter was trying to down play everything. "


That was an obvious bash on Bill Maher's famous quote regarding Cheney being taken out by terrorists recently.

And considering that NBC sandbagged the hell out of Ann Coulter, I'd say she did alright.

a politcal commentator (i'll call coulter that) makes fun of a politician

the partisan people whose party was attacked get defensive and want to create a stir...the other party doesnt think its a big deal

look at another scenario...lets say people say bush blew up the trade towers...thats clearly libel but its only bush's party who gets defensive...the dems dont think its any big deal

this is the exact same thing...who cares, its not that serious of a topic...i feel sorry for you if you think it is

Fuck you Teg, seriously man, fuck you.

Admit it, just fucking admit it. I don't make the snarky bullshit comments that start arguments like this dirt bag does. He fucking does it on purpose and in every thread. Why do you defend his bullshit behavior? Go back last week (i think it was last week, maybe the one before) when this ass clown didn't post in TSB, and see how cordial the place was, how ZERO threads were fucked because of bickering. It just doesn't happen.

This dickhead thinks TSB = chit chat for politicos. He singlehandedly fucked this entire section. I went back and looked at old feedback threads, and people have had a problem with this guy for years.

So fuck you people for sitting idle by while he pisses all over this section and the thoughtful commentary people try to put into it. I'll continue to point out illogical, partisan, incendiary shit this scum bag purposefully posts to troll the section. He'll keep trolling me for it like he is innocent, you people won't say shit about it to the mods.

The saddest thing is, he isn't entirely stupid, not on the dnl level, and is actually quite clever in his troll tactics, but people like you are apparently too lazy to say anything about it.

FWIW, this sounds too subjective to me to be libel. I mean, no one is going to a) really believe that John R. Edwards actually sucks blood or b) avoid his practice because someone else insulted him. If anything the reputation for being victorious in court (if by questionable tactics) would probably win him clients. It is nitpicking, but it bothered me for some reason.

But seriously, if either of you really gave a shit about stopping this, you'd quit responding to asinine comments. It is the fucking internet if someone gives you crap, just move on, no one will care in 5 years, months, minutes.

I can agree on this one, and I imagine a court would interpret it in a similar way. But when taken with many other "libelous" comments she has made, it wouldn't stand to help her in front of a judge.

This guy has NEVER left a comment of mine unresponded to in this section. Never. He'll come in from a night of drinking, and reply at 3am to some shit I said at 2pm.

I'm sure he'll say I have done the same, which is basically untrue, but I don't care to go find a thread where that is the case.

i imagine they might want to fucking TALK ABOUT IT. thats not politicising. like it or not, the fact is the Edwards' are a public couple, so when they talk, it tends to be publicised."


Edwards has brought it up during court in order to win sympathy from the jury. He wore his son's lapel pin during the 2004 campaign. If you don't see either of those as a blatant attempt to win support then you are an idiot.

Quote :
"and you really ought to think before you try to defend that goony piece of evil trash."


I'm not defending anyone. I'm just calling John Edwards a douche bag for trying to cash in on his dead son and then his wife throwing a hissy fit over Coulter's comment 3 years after the fact when they need some publicity.
