No reasonable person

[Crepitus]

We are all entitled to our opinion.

But what you’re not “entitled” to is lying about others in a way that it negatively impacts them financially. That’s called slander, snowflake.

You mean like Cheeto Jesus does constantly?

 

[Crepitus]

A growing trend among tRump supporting media and lawyers, the "no reasonable person" defense.



First we have Sydney "the kraken" Powell claiming she shouldn't be prosecuted or disbarred for lying and wasting court's time and money because nobody with any brains would believe her outlandish claims.

Pro-Trump lawyer says ‘no reasonable person’ would believe her election lies

Lawyers for Sidney Powell argued conspiracies she laid out constituted legally protected first amendment speech

Then there's Tucker Carlson and his lawyer's assertion that the "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that he is not stating actual facts about the topics he discusses.

You Literally Can't Believe The Facts Tucker Carlson Tells You. So Say Fox's Lawyers

Fox News viewers don't expect facts from Tucker Carlson, according to network lawyers who defended their star in a slander lawsuit filed by a woman who said she had an affair with President Trump.

And now we've got lawyers stating that the insurrectionists are "short bus people'.

“They’re All Fucking Short-Bus People”: Capitol Riot Attorney Manages to Insult At Least Three Different Groups While Defending 1/6 Actions

The lawyer for the QAnon shaman told Talking Points Memo “These defendants…they’re all ******* short-bus people. These are people with brain damage, they’re ******* retarded, they’re on the goddamn spectrum.”

It's obvious that the leaders of the Republican party as well as the voters know they are well below average intelligence, and they are making it a good thing.

Anyway, this whole thing seems crazy to me.

You brilliantly showcase low intelligence kid. You're completely blinded by hatred and partisanship. It is a disgusting trait for a human being, ANY HUMAN BEING, right or left to have.

I get it, the topic is completely indefensible so you have to attack the poster.

I attack the "poster" for his inability to see or understand any "real" truth. You blindly swallow everything the media tells you. You STILL believe that Russia stole it for Rump.

I believe Russia weighed in on his side, yes. And all the facts point that way.

More than pointing – Russia in fact interfered in the 2016 election on Trump’s behalf.

The fifth and final chapter spans nearly 1,000 pages and deals with counterintelligence concerns.

They have all the clues they need to admit to themselves that they've been conned. But they're simply too emotionally invested in this now to give in. An amazing look at group pathology.

You voted for Biden. Clearly you are the one that was conned by a bought and paid for lackey of China. Hunter and all the Biden’s are laughing all the way to the bank at YOUR expense.

So no, not the same thing at all.

"'Anything beyond this is Maddow’s opinion or her exaggeration of the facts,' the judge noted in the ruling."

Wouldn't "exaggeration of the facts" constitute libel or lying? How exactly does one exaggerate a fact without making it a non-fact anyway?

Bingo! And Crepitus knows it too. But he's too disingenuous to admit that Rachel Maddow engages in propaganda and slander 24x7.

Op/ed isn't propaganda and slander.

Derp.

That may be but the question is, does she believe it? I don't know if Maddow does or not but a lot of liberals do. I've seen it right here on this forum many times. I will also say that liberals attack Hannity and Carlson and others for doing the exact same thing.

We are all entitled to our opinion.

Yes, we are. That's all well and good as far as that goes but as I said, Hannity and Carlson and other conservative commentators and pundits are attacked by the left as racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic nutjobs for doing the same thing.

I'm not saying the judge should have ruled against Maddow but at the same time, I feel it necessary to point out that she did play on a false narrative that was already in place; a false narrative that she likely knows for a fact that many people actually believe.

My opinion? What opinion did I express that makes me a racist/sexist/homophobic nut-job?

Having said that, if it's true that a conservative's opinion makes him a racist/sexist/homophobic nut-job then it's also true that Maddow's opinion makes her a lying nutjob.

 

[Crepitus]

My opinion? What opinion did I express that makes me a racist/sexist/homophobic nut-job?

Generic you/your, not you specifically.

If not me specifically then don't say "you" and lump me in with the racist/sexist/homophobic nut-jobs just because it's convenient for you.

And my other comment still stands: If it's true that a conservative's opinion makes him a racist/sexist/homophobic nut-job then it's also true that Maddow's opinion makes her a lying nutjob.

If that’s true…file slander charges. What’s the problem?

Sadly for you, history proves every comment you make is 100% dead-wrong. The left has a long and ugly history of racism, xenophobia, etc.

Only in the collective conservitard imagination.

Still can’t spell “conservative” even after I educated you on it, eh snowflake?

You truly are the quintessential low-IQ Dumbocrat-voter.
