RWers will demonize them even after they meet JC and God.

(7,889 posts)Extremely frustrating. I don't understand why there's no remedy to stop this crap once and for all.

(1,896 posts)It's not carte blanche to say anything you want about a public figure. It just means that the plaintiff has to show "actual malice" in the publishing of a false statement. Knowingly false or reckless disregard for the veracity of the statement is the standard. Pretty good argument that stating the Clintons are responsible would be a reckless statement.

(14,732 posts)made with reckless disregard is a pretty high mountain to climb. That's why you see so few of these suits (and less that actually prosper).

(13,856 posts)And the policy makes perfect sense. If she could sue Conway for what she said, Trump could sue all of the Dem candidates for what they have said about him on the debate stage.

(35,454 posts)If the coroner says it's suicide then it would be slanderous not to mention just plain out wrong to label the Clintons murderers. I don't see how anything, anyone on the debate says rises to that level. And does traitor trump really want to start suing people for calling him names, I mean really, that would be a Pandora's box where he is concerned.
SCantiGOP
(13,856 posts)but public figures don't have much protection from satire, parody or criticism, and doubly so for politicians.
And in this case, Trump hasn't said anything. The comments have come from a retweet and from KAConway.

(14,207 posts)The thing that bothers me is that these people do all sort of nasty deeds and get off scot-free. She'll walk away from this job and dollars to donuts she'll get another gig and millions more dollars.

(32,061 posts)They supposedly killed Vince Foster and a slew of other people, as well. This was BEFORE Ken Starr and others investigated the snot out of them. And, yet they never came across ANY evidence of these alleged murders? The Clintons must have done an amazing job of hiding it all, so yeah. They killing off a guy who is in jail is a piece of cake.
