Yeah, that was really dumb of that Left-blogger, huh? Spreads a malicious rumor (via a CNN Trig Truther with an extremely bad track record at accurately reporting on the former Governor) that the Palins are divorcing, gets debunked pretty much immediately*, has his real name and job (not to mention his habit of attacking children) tracked down and revealed, and faster than you can say “no ‘public figure’ defense” he’s being threatened with a libel suit.
All in all, I don’t think that this was the intended result.
Not being an attorney, I don’t know whether the public figure defense does or does not apply here; but if it does go to trial, this Gryphen fellow will almost certainly lose. I am given to understand that judges tend not to be sympathetic to people who lose libel cases when it comes to determining who pays for court costs – but if the Online Left wants to keep subsidizing the Palins’ legal team’s administration of some long-overdue negative feedback to the misogynistic crew currently obsessing over that woman: well, I guess that it’s just going to happen, that’s all.
Karma. It’s what’s for dinner.

Chemical Sam (Diary) Monday, August 3rd at 8:19AM EST (link)As long as she was in office, she had one foot nailed to the floor in a distant land. She’s pried her foot loose with a sawed-off hockey stick, and she kept the hockey stick, with a national carry and conceal permit in her purse. She may be a public figure, but technically she’s no longer a political figure. Now she’s free to fight liars by hitting them where it hurts, in their pocket books.
If I were a laywer, I’d work for herpro bono…

Sawed-off, check.

She is a Public Figure
red4ever (Diary) Monday, August 3rd at 10:40AM EST (link)Even though she has left office. Also, Todd Palin is most likely a limited public figure.
That said, it just means a higher hurdle. The rabid lawyers (funny how much you love them when it is one of your own getting screwed) just need to prove maliciousness in the false reporting. IN this case, I believe the term is “shooting fish in a barrel.”
For someone who is supposed to be a complete airhead and political joke, she does sure scare the left. It’s not like someone like they describe could ever get elected. The primaries alone would show the hollowness of the politician behind the rhetoric … Oh wait, never mind. I understand now.
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.

bk (Diary) Monday, August 3rd at 10:58AM EST (link)If people filed a bunch of accusations of child molestation against him – whether they were true or not – then he should be run out of his profession.
...and he's *now* a public figure.
azaeroprof (Diary) Monday, August 3rd at 11:50AM EST (link)Since he is not “outed” and this is a national story (thanks to the news media that so willingly picked up this so-called “story”, I guess we’re free to make such accusations, eh
And, we wouldn’t be doing it out of “maliciousness”, it would be…ok, altogether now…FOR THE CHILDREN!
