When I first saw this thread I kinda felt sorry for you. But it seems you burned your bridges here and I find it ironic that you are being sued for what you apparently threatened to sue Free Republic for, i.e., unauthorized posting of copyrighted pictures. Irony.
While I sympathize with your plight and I think that your copyright infringment was clearly within the "fair use" exclusion to copyright law, there's a lesson to be learned here. I could probably come up with some old proverb that would cleverly and succinctly explain that lesson, but then if I posted it, it might be copyrighted and I might get sued.

I agree that this is serious. Liberal groups habitually sue to quash conservative speech. John O'Neill of Swift-Boat fame knows this first hand.
You or your lawyers may want to seek his advice at his law firm Clements, O’Neill, Pierce, Wilson, and Fulkerson in Houston: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Clements%2C_O'Neill%2C_Pierce%2C_Wilson_%26_Fulkerson.
See general background on the suit at: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/11/18/95310.shtml
I'm not a lawyer, but if Light appropriated your Kerry parody for his own financial benefit--without your permission, you may have grounds for a countersuit. It would appear to me that much depends on how the law views copyright protections for your creations. At a minimum, I would hope the courts would recognize your right to free political speech and would award compensation for legal fees to you. Freepers who are lawyers will be able to advise if this makes sense.
Meanwhile, I've enjoyed your postings. Thanks for providing the spice.

I thought so also. In fact I was thinking,
Ok dad, the levy is broken, grab the gear and lets go catch some striper.

Were you directing that comment to the owner of this site or to the recently departed poster?

I sure took your post the wrong way as I did not know Registered had pulled his cartoons and supported Rudy over real conservatives.

I honestly thought Registered was gone before today, anyway. (I don’t get out much.)
