It doesn't matter. My personal opinion of him or his show doesn't matter. The biggest asshole on the face of the planet can still be a victim of wrongdoing, and being an enormous asshole is completely irrelevant to whether they should have legal recourse....so long as it's something for which the law allows recompense. That last part is the only question that matters.
I think you miss my point.
His show consists of libel 10 times worse than what he's currently wailing about.
Then the people he's defaming have recourse of their own. Nobody can sue for them, they have to do it themselves. *shrug*
I'm looking at this from a different point of view, obviously. Under the law, everybody has the same rights, remedies and access to the courts to use as they see fit. And before anybody brings up money, I'm sure if there were a solid case against a polarizing ideological figure an attorney looking for a high-profile gig would take it on contingency, and certain advocacy groups would be more than happy to lend a hand.
