yesssssssss.... sue him
Let’s see how she stands up to some LEGAL scrutiny
Sue on what grounds?
And is anyone else concerned that a sitting member of Congress is advising lapdogs to go after private citizens?
—The term “slut” has no precise meaning. So proving it as defamation would be pretty tough.—
Yeah. That thought was in the back of my mind while I was posting. Regarding the “prostitute” remark, if he can demonstrate that she took money for ANYTHING sex related from the government, it proves the point he was trying to make - that us paying for anything she uses in the sex act equated to her being a prostitute in a backhanded way.
And to be fair, the way he said it was to imply that she was admitting to stuff that would technically make her the equivalent of a prostitute. His words there would be hard to either attack or defend in a court of law. It is solely an opinion about the global meaning of what another person was saying.
That would open a line of discovery as to whether Ms. Fluke qualified as a public figure under libel law. I really don’t think she wants to go there.
Hoyer’s wrong.
Limbaugh never said “Fluke’s a slut.”
He asked if getting others to pay for your sex doesn’t make you a slut or a prostitute. I think the transcript will bear me out on that one. I heard it.
Very excellent point. This is absolutely a thug administration and the Democrat party has now been taken over and run by THUGS!
Given the insane mileage Democrats are getting from this story is proof that reporters are still in the bar this week.
