Not sure where your second amendment stuff comes into play, so I won’t entertain that.

I imagine calling in to a show would not put you at risk.

At one time in my life I was a local business manager and every year or so I would make the rounds on the local (very local) TV shows and radio shows. For that brief time I guess I would have been considered a public figure. I was certainly open to criticism and comment. So if someone said, “Vt Lt is a fat bastard who lies ab out his company” I would not be able to sue them.

30 years later my “celebrity” is gone. So if someone on a radio show started saying out of the blue that I was a fat bastard liar I would have a case.

Ooops. Sorry, I meant the 1st Amendment... but these days I seem to have the 2nd on my brain a lot...lol.

The gist is...I am against everything the left had done and is doing, and make no mistake.... these people suing Jones are leftists. They are by no means justified in their cashing in on anything he said about them, IMHO. But we’re in a different era now... and the woke cancel culture has taken full control of the assylum. Anyone that is not on the Marxist left side of the aisle is now fair game to be marginalized, persecuted and eliminated as any threat to their agenda.
