Even now, "Complete Ignoramuses" are submitting headlines to Fark attempting to troll anyone capable of even half-sentient thought. These Complete Ignoramuses are A.) Actually Republicans attempting to advance an agenda, B.) Completely uncaring of politics and just looking to feel like clever little dandies, or C.) Drooling retards who just don't know what they're typing?

If someone was stupid enough to actually libel McCain, I'm sure GOP lawyers would sue them faster than Palin can say "Maverick."

bring criminal libel charges against anyone who levels what turns out to be false criticisms of their chosen candidate for President.

I'm sorta for it. Sick of all the mud slinging and base pandering and mis-used out of context sound bytes.

/In MY election? It's more likely than you think.

Subby believes filing a civil suit is equal to poisoning your opponents with dioxin or polonium.

Or just having them shot.

Trolled in the headline.

FTFA: However, in the opinion of this writer, Bob McCulloch and Jennifer Joyce are, at the behest of the Obama campaign, ratting sabers to intimidate people from criticizing Obama. If my contention is correct, then if anyone will face civil or maybe criminal liability from the U.S. Justice Department, the U.S. Attorney's Office in St. Louis, it's McCulloch and Joyce themselves. It is not beyond the realm of possibility, in my opinion, that their threats violated Federal Civil Rights laws, two public authorities might well be forcing a "chilling effect" on 1st Amendent free speech. If Barack Obama or any of his people have any fingerprints on this, they could be sent up the river as well.

Speculate much?

Seems that if you print falsehoods about someone, you're open for them to sue you for "libel," which means "printing falsehoods about someone."

Great. Why was this greenlit?

 
zz9 2008-09-26 03:49:08 PM  
Misleading headline? The news video linked to in the article, with direct quotes from the two prosecutors themselves, support the headline. They are saying that if anyone doesn't "stick just to the issues" and starts criticizing Obama they will take action.

Video (new window)

They would prosecute slanderous accusations thrown at McCain/Palin, but then they'd have to file charges against the editorial boards of 90% of the nation's newspapers as well as 99% of farkers.

that's retarded. i'm an Obama supporter, but if loosers want to spread crap, let them spread it. the way these things work is that the truth always comes out in the end, and the spreaders are revealed for what they are: loosers.

Trolled in the headline.


The polonium thing is still kind of unknown in origin, as apparently both the British and Russian authorities (1) wanted the guy dead at some level and (2) felt investigation would dredge up too many state secrets.

And if you're going with the "who else would want him dead and could access the poison?" tack, the answer is something like 90% of the population of eastern Europe and 50% of the western half. My bet's on one of the Russian mafia groups, personally.

Also, dioxin was the delivery system for the active metal, it is not, in itself, poisonous (though, like many synthetic organics, it is strongly suspected of being carcinogenic).

But they are not false. Perhaps the NRA, acting on your stated desires, should bring libel charges against you.

I read that as "can say Matlock"

My version is cute, but your version is more accurate.

 
RminusQ [TotalFark] 2008-09-26 05:21:47 PM  
Wow, is this site chock full o' nuts.

1) Repeated note at the end that REMEMBER: YOU READ IT HERE FIRST.

2) The Catholic Church still really doesn't consider Protestants to be Christians. Bullshiat. 100% pure shiat of the bull.

3) ...while neither Joyce nor McCulloch say they're going to apply criminal libel statutes to Obama critics, the implication is very clear. (In the time after the news tory, Joyce denied that she will prosecute anyone, but, again, the implication is clear).
So despite the absence of the two people saying they will prosecute, and the explicit denial of the same by one of those people, this website feels certain that they do plan on criminal charges.

4) Elsewhere on the blog, in the post cleverly titled October: The Month Before November:
"Manmade emergencies" - such as the one starting the night of November 4 when a certain group of people realizes that their chosen Presidential candidate didn't win, after they have been filled with months and months of media agitprop that he's inevitable, and after weeks of media agitprop that "white racism" will be the only thing to blame if he doesn't.

5) Given all that, I somewhat question this comment, but do not know the history, and teh Google does not immediately answer my questions. Anyone know?
As far as the Kennedys, John barely won in 1960, and needed mob help to do it. On top of that, his losing in 1964 was an almost certainty if he would have not been assassinated.

The Dems have called George Bush a monkey for years now. But if someone calls Barack Obama a "monkey", the Dems will flip out. They dish it out, but they can't take it. If Obama becomes President, insulting Obama will become illegal.
