Lawboy says" the short version is that the candidate has an excellent chance of winning a libel suit against this idiot.

This is a special category of libel, called libel per se: it means that the libeled person does not even have to prove actual damages (loss of job, money, etc.). This charge that a medical person has engaged in grotesque scientific experiments libels her in her profession, one of the special categories in the law no requiring proof of actual damages, so that the suit can proceed with allegations of damage to reputation.

The statement is clearly injurious; it has been "published", that is, written to third persons, and the libeler knew or should have know that the allegation was false, upon any reasonable investigation.

The candidate has a dead bang case and I am sure there are many lawyers of good heart in Ohio prepared to take on her case for no fee.

Infantile, franklyn. We are facing huge stakes; Obama is going to need every friend he can find, especially one who has also inspired millions to vote for her and has generated Obama-like enthusiasm of her own. So stick with the puerile comments and see how far that gets your guy in the fall.

Hold your breath and stomp your feet because someone dared to challenge you on this site. Keep holding, keep holding, we'll let you know when to stop.

Hunter is dead, corpse-worshiper, and you are decidedly no Hunter.

Real smart, Aldolf. Kick her while she's down, when your candidate will need her help in the fall and she will be able to bring millions of supporters to the cause. Patience, humility, solidarity. That should be your mantra.

For God's sake, we need to start practicing a little humility as well as unity. The lady will soon be out of the race, do you have to pour salt in the wounds? She will be invaluable to Obama in the fall election; why would you want to insult her now?

DF, Underneath that cynical, attacking veneer, I see a scared little boy. It's ok, when Hillary wins reelection in a landslide in 2012, we won't remind you of your petty truculence.

Yes, and he said yes, oh yes and yes and yes and yes. Right on with your right on, Eric the Red. I'm nominating Rosenber's blog for dumbest of the week (month, maybe). When did this thing turn where many of the so-righteous-and-pure Obamaites became little yapping poodles nipping at Hillary's heels and ignoring the war-mongering, million-dollar jet losing, hospital bombing opponent in their future. Hey, hey, John McCain, how many kids did you bomb that day?

Last week Senator Obama told all of us that he had never heard any of the Wright remarks which were being publicized in the media. He also said that if he had heard them, he would have denounced those remarks and quit the church.

This week, as it became clear what a firestorm had been created, and as the focus became whether Obama had been in church when any of those remarks were made, the Senator changed his tune. He admitted that he had heard inflammatory, condemnation-worthy remarks from Reverend Wright, and he stated he would stay in the church.

I can understand staying in the church because a new pastor is on the scene, but how does the Senator explain his flat contradiction of last week's representation that he never heard such remarks from Wright?

Leroy, this forum should be about ideas. Why do you insist on your juvenile name calling and insults to physical characteristics. I don't know if TPM bans posters, but you seem determined to paint a big foul-mouthed target on your back. Ideas, reasoning, debate, dignity, respect for other views. Let those be your mantra.
