Mark Levin doesn't need the money. Don't you think he has bigger and better things to prove with this?
So why is he doing it then?

Mark Levin doesn't need the money. Don't you think he has bigger and better things to prove with this?
(Mediaite)-Radio host Mark Levin is fed up with claims that heated political rhetoric of the sort found on talk radio shows like his are in some way to blame for the shooting in Arizona that left six dead and Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords injured.
And Levin is putting his money where his mouth is by threatening to take MSNBC hosts and contributors like Chris Matthews, Ed Shutlz, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough and David Frumm (you little weasel) to federal court for accusations tying Levin to Loughners rampage.
I dont care if theyre bloggers, Levin announced. I dont care if theyre television hosts, I dont care if theyre radio hosts. Im going to drag your ass into federal court. Oh, youll have due process. Itll all be nice and legal.
Anyone, Levin continued, who accuses me of inciting mass murder in Tucson, Arizona is going to be sued. Period.
I think it's a great idea. I've listened to Levin on occassion as well as Michael Savage, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. If hyperbole, half-truths, and innuendo are to be considered defamation then talk radio and newcasters will eventually tone down the rhetoric.
Better yet, the unintended consequence of Levin's threat may result in a return to a fairness doctrine. Wouldn't that be a hoot and ironic.
Suing for slander will result in the government shutting up Mark Levin?

Malcolm ExLax, as he usually does, just ^ reconfirmed that he doesn't have the first damn clue about the First Amendment.
Helpful hint for ignorant poseurs like Malcolm ExLax: there is not one thing in the slightest bit contradictory between vital, healthy and fulsome support of the First Amendment on the one hand and a perfectly valid reliance on libel and slander laws on the other hand.
They are NOT inherently antithetical, you schmuck.
Whether or not Mr. Levin has any kind of logical legal case to make in such a proposed civil suit against loathsome ass-wipes like Chrissy Mathews is another story. It is within the bounds of reason to argue that Mr. Levin's threat amounts to just so much hot air in this case. Maybe. Maybe not.
But to go from that to the drivel you spew, you ignoramous, that a libel/slander suit is somehow unsupportable when filed by folks who cherish the Constitution (referring for the moment to the First Amendment) is absurd.Dopes like you don't understand what the First Amendment serves to protect, and from whom.
To teach the assholes like Chrissy Matthews a little responsibility, perhaps.
Mark Levin may not need the money. He makes far more than Chrissy Matthews. But maybe that's the point. It's not that Mark needs it. It's that Chrissy can ill-afford to be made to give it up.
But again, I don't expect that Mark Levin will follow through on this. Calmer heads will likely prevail.

Isn't Mark Levin the one who said that Muslims worship a "monkey God"?

Responsibility and Mark Levin....!?!?!?
Do you see why that man is a laughing stock?
"Responsibility"
ROTFLMAO!!!

Has anyone else noticed how Liarbility always feminizes males he doesn't agree with?
He's not going to waste good money on bad publicity, which is what it would be if he files a case without merit and it's tossed. He may be hot now, but somebody will - or should - talk sense into him.
I actually can't blame him for being pissed. Like him or hate him, he's had some nasty things said about him. Things his friends and family are hearing just as much as he is. Of course that's ugly. A lot of people have had ugly things said about them, on both sides. But they choose to live or at least work in the public eye. I can't see where anything's been said or done that would make this fly. Statements of opinion are not defamation, and speech can be ugly without being actionable.

I believe he wouldn't dare WASTE his money on such frivolousness, however, I wonder...have you actually listened to his show?
He spews hate non-stop. His entire shtick is violent rhetoric.

Are you sure statements of opinion are not defamation? Maybe in a criminal matter, but I can't see how a statement such as, "your neighbor John Doe is a child molester" to other neighbors is not defamation, in some cases.
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.
