The tactic “is just so dishonest, and so gross, because they will take .001 percent of anything he said and ignore, intentionally, the 99.999 percent of the things he did and said,” he said...

People like
Tucker qataralson
and
Candy " be silent" Owens ?
they need to start by suing Jimmy Kimmel for his lies
This is the way!
The ONLY thing they understand is money and power.
For too long they could say and do anything w/o any blowback.
If what was said is truly actionable. Start the process.
Can anyone point to a case where someone was convicted of slandering or libeling a dead person?
You can’t libel or slander the dead.
Maybe the legal eagles are looking at any that took place before Kirk’s murder.
If so...
Cool.
Can anyone point to a case where someone was convicted of slandering or libeling a dead person?
A point, but if the victim of the defamation is TPUSA, they’d be the one seeking redress?
You can say anything you want about a dead person, outright lie about them, and it's not libel.
It would be funny if Tyler Robinson sued Kimmel for slander.
If so...
Cool.
Once again, no.
A cause of action must be filed before a person dies.
If Kirk had filed an action before dying, his estate would inherit the lawsuit, and it could go forward. But his estate can't file the action after his death.
and the NY Times, and Stephen King, and on and on and on
but wouldn’t they be slandering and hurting TPA by extension?
It depends on the laws in the state it took place.
Death does not necessarily reset the clock if the slander/libel took place before death.
Can't you pretty much say anything about a political organization? Political speech is at the core of the First Amendment.
If you could sue for libel for political speech, there'd be thousands of lawsuits filed every day, millions by the end of the year.
Also, this:
...want to take a man that spent literally years...
should be:
...want to take a man that who spent literally years...
Charlie was a human being, not a thing.
The vile stuff I’ve read were and heard were ad hominems directed at Kirk, not his org.
Untrue, defamatory, and said with malice.
The only question is whether or not slander/libel that occurred before death is actionable after death.
If it is, Deep State’s useful idiots may be about to find themselves left holding the bag.
What difference would that make? The effect of being slandered is just as bad for the widow as it would be for the deceased, should he still be alive.
I’d say Erika would have every right to protect the good name of Charlie.
Easy target. He said it on network TV. So he should have to pay millions because he said things that were not true.
tell that to Alex Jones who was sued about the school shootings.
It’s not just that.
Slander and libel law was written long before the internet.
Now we have the internet, and the internet can have a very long memory.
We may see some new law created because of this.
If so, let’s hope it will be both commonsensical and constitutional.
Yet I was responding to someone who suggested that, though Kirk is dead, his org could sue.
So, can TPUSA sue? Your response suggests, no.
