Sharpton threatens suit against Limbaugh (Rush Limbaugh, lawyers, racism, money)

[bentlebee]

WASHINGTON (CNN)– Reverend Al Sharpton and his lawyers say they are preparing to file a defamation lawsuit against conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh for an op-ed published Saturday, which Sharpton alleges "erroneously" characterizes his (Sharpton's) role in a string of violent incidents in New York in the early 90's.

To get money out of adefamation suit, the Rev. has to proof his completely clean character....How will a person who is a hypocrite and always blaming "certain" people of racism, while others are not mentioned out of covenience....and a person who doesn't pay taxes and not once but more tims....how will he claim to have his character been damaged by Rush....specially a famous person has almost no chance to win this.

Maybe the Rev. lawyer should get money upfront otherwise they will never get paid....or is Acorn paying?

I almost forgot the most important thing...Al Sharpton openly celebrated the lost of Rush bid on the air....how about that...isn't that rude and than filing a lawsuit...the man is just in it to collect money from Rush to pay of his taxes...won't happen, Rush isn't going to spread his wealth with Al the tax cheat Sharpton.

Indeed. In order to be a Liberal/Progressive/America Hating/Hand wringing pantywaist you have to be a racist.

Long live Ché Guevara! Not.

People in the media need to be held accountable for the things they say.

what did he say that's so bad? I bet you can't find any actual audio clips, just misguided quotes that aren't true.

I can agree with what you said in a general sense. I also think people like Sharpton need to be held accountable for making mountains out of mole hills and inciting his base like he does.
