Ya? What exactly is the charge? Just more legal bullshit by the left to silence the right. Now they think they can shut people up with lawsuits. Obama would be proud.
Are you so clueless that you don’t know there are limits on free speech? You can’t yell “fire” in a crowed movie house, and you can't say intentionally something untrue to cause harm to another. I am sure if the Democratic candidate had ads claim that Dole had sex with sheep you would say that (assuming that’s not true) Dole could have a could stop her opponent from airing those adds.
If the ads do harm to the candidate, the candidate may be able to sue for damages, I am not sure if the Democrat is suing for injunctive relief (stop the untrue adds) or equitable relief (cash). Either way the burden is on the plaintiff to show that the statements are absolutely false.
There is no absolute right to free speech but it’s very hard (here in WA state) to get someone shut up if what they are saying is true.
