Now, Adelson is fighting back by suing the NJDC for libel.

It will be difficult for Adelson, as a public figure, to win a libel suit, but I must confess to a sense of Schadenfreude as far the NJDC is concerned.

This NJDC is the same organization that got a big laugh at their event four years ago when guest speaker Alcee Hastings (the impeached former federal judge turned 'Rat congressman from Florida) insinuated that Sarah Palin is antisemitic because she owns guns and hunts moose.

Like most organizations on the left, the NJDC has no standards of propriety in its political discourse.

By what definition is he a public figure? Isn’t he simply a businessman that the MSM writes about a lot? Surely being a big political donor doesn’t make him one.

Moose is Kosher? Who knew? Don't know if Adelson has much of a case, it could certainly be a potential source of embarassment for the dems.
