All week, intrepid bloggers have been trying to trace the source of two "racist" quotes attributed to Rush Limbaugh -- quotes which poisoned the atmosphere to the point where he was dropped from a bid to purchase the NFL's St. Louis Rams. Now comes word that the quotations may have been added to Rush Limbaugh's Wikipedia entry by someone using a computer at a liberal New York law firm.

Sounds like a winnable law suit for slander and actual damages.
Interesting. Glad someone is exposing this.
Sic em Rush! Get a good libel law firm and go after these guys. Start with suing the company / law firm and assert that any employee of that firm, using their resources, on company time is an agent acting on behalf of the company.
Take them down, make them bleed.
I will have to stock up on the Coke and popcorn. This should be good.

I found this interesting on their site
Here is a link to their contact page
Not that I would suggest sending a friendly note
Lying lawyers. Who’d a guessed?
marked
The firm’s property was used to defame a private citizen. Maybe if the partners had to suffer a loss in income when a few conservative leaning clients dropped them they might take it seriously....
Their Alumni list is also interesting...wonder who the names are.

Wake up and read the comments at the link!
I love Rush, but the claim to have traced the IP add’y is bogus.
We all seem to want to see Rush expose these fools. It needs to be done.
Sue their pants off. Leave them to room with Bernie Madoff. (I know that’s illogical because libel is not a criminal offense, but this just makes me so mad!)
They forgot...
President and primary counsel for the National Football League Players Association.
Seriously, is DeMaurice associated with these ACORN enablers?
If they are so “proud” of their alumni, why don’t they list the names?
These lying bastards need to be smashed...but good!!!
Actually it’s not bogus. Wikipedia retains & displays the IP address of who makes what changes to postings; go to any Wikipedia page and click the History tab, and it will show you exactly what was changed by who (if not by name/handle, at least by IP address). Very easy to find out the source of a change (at least down to IP address) if they’re not trying to conceal their ID.
“I will have to stock up on the Coke and popcorn. This should be good.”
Of course, no beer. Breweries sponsor the NFL.
You might want to double check the facts first.

While that may be the address used to libel Rush, it’s not the one the law firm uses.
This should be in News.
Who knows....I want someone to give me the definition of open transparency that has been hyped by this administration....it is more secretive and sneakier than any I have ever seen....and that includes those associated with it
Is it any wonder this clown in the White House wants to control, regulate and restrict the net, Fox, and conservative talk radio?

The wikipedia post may be sourced to a NYC law firm with ties to professional sports, but I see at least one of the quotes in this Huffington Post article from 2006 that claims they were sourced from George Soros’ Media Matters.

The enemies of Obama list that this adminstration is conspiring to take down is growing.
And to think that history singles out the Richard Nixon White House. The same people who brought Nixon down and rioted in the streets in Chicago in 1968 put Obama in the White House.
I agree.
can this thread be moved to “news” from “sports”? I believe that it warrants inclusion in front page or extended news.
IYAS9YAS' home brewery does not.
Rana, Ahmad & Asim, Aqeel? Hmmm... interesting names...
The hard left Patterson Belknap Law Firm, when it is not dreaming up and maliciously dissemination fake quotes or slandering Rush, Rove, Hanity, Dodson or Palin, is every bit as bad a horror show of PC tyranny as you might imagine:

Damn commies.
I’ll bet that law firm’s got a couple smelly moslems too.
And their morning meeting is a pledge to Mao.
Don’t lawyers have an extra responsibility to honor the law? Don’t they take an oath when they get their license?
Could be a towel-boy, but if it’s a lawyer......
I think Rush suing their pants off is the “tort reform” these Stalinists need.
He won’t....I’ve already changed my homepage from rushlimbaugh.com to gijoe.com//and kept my radio off from 12pm to 3pm. He’s serverely disappointed me.
Yep. Lots of links between Soros and this law firm.
Ah....
Guess I’ll have to post your research over there, to clear up their thin defense....
Unless you want to?
I won’t get to it until after 6 MDT.
Seems like a perfectly easy lawsuit to win.
Nice catch. It certainly seems to help connect the dots, doesn’t it?
