Or about Michelle Obama. The words they use to describe her would fit perfectly at Storm Front. Which is where a lot of posters here are from, it would seem.

Really, now. I can't recall EVER seeing anything so classless and crass from HeyJude514. Other posters leap immediately to mind, but I don't think I'm allowed to name names.
Instead, I'll ask you to prove such an ugly allegation, or admit that you made it up. A link to the referenced thread will suffice.
Ok, so here's the deal folks (especially the liberal naysayers): There's something called libel, slander, and defamation. Any combination of these three things is always on the mind of anyone who uses direct quotes to attribute words to someone. Do you think that Ed Klein would be willing to take on the Clinton Machine/Obama Machine if these were not words that could corroborated, or at least attributable in a court of law? Do you think that he would make these direct quotes up out of thin air under the threat of penalty? If so, don't you think there would be hundreds and thousands of books out there making up any and every lie conceivable about people?
He can't just make **** up about what people have said, publish a book, make money from it, and not suffer consquences. People have gone to jail for these things. That means there has to be some truth to what he's saying.

If this was the UK, with it's tough libel law, you'd have a point. But in the US, in order to prove a libel case, you have to prove that the writer acted maliciously (the writer intentionally and maliciously lied), which is difficult to prove in court. If the US had the UK's libel law, most American celebrity rags would be put out of business.

Bahahahahahaha.
This is America in the 21st century, the world of Breitbart and outrageously manufactured outrage.
Please tell me, for instance, what Shirley Sherrod got after Breitbart deliberately and maliciously excerpted one part of an old speech that GOT HER FIRED and castigated throughout the country, only to have to reveal that the context of the speech completely contradicted everything Breitbart and the rightwing media machine said about her in the meantime?
Please tell me what happened to ACORN after Breitbart's minion STAGED a fake "video" in which the ACORN employee did nothing that Breitbart's guy claimed, immediately reported that something fishy was going on to his superior, and Breitbart, the media, and every RWNJ on this forum STILL insist proved ACORN corruption?
Oh, that's right. ACORN was dismantled BECAUSE OF THE VICIOUS, FICTITIOUS CRAP.
If you don't know what a real biography is, complete with researched and well-documented facts, then we can't help you.
What you're thinking of is commonly known as a "tell-all" or "smear piece."
Wrong. Biographies are research pieces....but that doesn't mean they are researched "well" or with "documented facts." A biographer can interpret anything he wants under the premise of "biographical" information. That doesn't mean it's accurate.

Difficult does not mean that the threat of penalty is not there and therefore won't be pursued.

Geezus Christ. Of the millions of books written in the history of man, of the kazillions of lies that have been told about people, you actually thought it was worthy to deflect to a blog post and a YouTube video to make your case about libel, slander, and defamation?
But, since you did, i'll bite: Do you think that those folks should have sued? If not, why not?
Oh, that's right....she did sue! Which makes your post even that much more irrelevant and 100% supports MY POST instead!
